zhie | (no subject)

I have come to the conclusion that sometimes, when I'm not looking, that my muses must without a doubt be crossing paths with the muses of the very talented

erestor.

Perhaps mine are in need of aromatherapy and they happen to go traipsing from the last homely house over to the first homely house. I can imagine it- believe me I can. Ress sniffing various vials of whatever, Fin leaned across the counter conversing with his eoas counterpart.

Let's listen in...

Fin: So, what's hot this month, Mauburz?

Not-so-scary-orc: You not hear from me, but pumpkins big thing.

Ress: Pumpkins? Should be interesting to see what Zhie can do with that. You want to inspire her on that, Fin, or do you want me to?

Fin: Nah, let's get Orophin to do it.

Ress: Excellent. *holds up vial* Does this stuff come in peach scented?

Seriously, though. I used to read Elf on a Shelf for the articles (*snickers* no, no, really... okay, that and the 'kiss 'insert elf name here' thing... damn, that was a hoot..) Then I kinda browsed the stories, which were quite enjoyable, 'cause I'm not so much for stories beyond PG13, only because if I want smut I can write it myself (that's not to say there isn't some good hot smut out there, too). Anyhow, as I get into reading things, it's like... whoa, that's kinda funny, my Haldir sleeps with a (stuffed) rabbit, and the eoas Haldir sleeps with a Rabbit... heh heh... and there was the pumpkin thing (the pumpkin king whatever it was was posted on eoas same day as the pumpkin ppb... no shit. is that weird or what?) So after a while, I thought, okay, I could make a list of 'top ten coincidental things at the first homely house and the last homely house', but instead, i just stopped reading stuff over there. Just, too many 'whoa, that was weird' and 'whoa, that was really weird' moments.

So a couple people told me that the lionheart story was awesome, i'd love it, go read it, etc. I certainly was missing reading things over there, so away I went to pounce upon it.

M'kay, spoiler ahead for those who've not yet read to the end of

erestor's latest fic.

I thought for some reason I had read chapter nine, but I guess I must have made it to the end of eight and missed nine, cause i saw the link for ten, and so there I went.

I made it a few paragraphs in, and then I was like, 'whoa, whoa, back up, time out'

I think that the black rubber crow in the back of my car is a mental portkey... wonder if that's possible. See, more than two years back, maybe it was even three come to think of it, Maggie and I were doing a little halloween shopping, came across this black rubber crow, both of us snickered, pointed, and shouted 'Glorfunkle' and so since then said crow has lived on the back ledge of my car, staring (glaring) out at whomever drives behind me. better than a bumper sticker, trust me, hee hee. I'm thinking the crow is maybe the one doing it. yeah. blame the crow.

Lionheart ends with Erestor being blind.

I immediately sought out my muses (well, Ress and the King... Fin is currently in Mexico...)

There was some staring. Thranduil just kept playing video games (no surprise there) and saying 'what?' and eventually 'hey, do we have corn chips?' while Erestor did his damnedest to appear innocent. That lasted all of twenty seconds. He would so suck at poker.

So after a snicker and a smirk, i had confirmation.

Then again, he may have been snickering about something completely different. One never knows with muses.

Too weird. See, I know that there have been other Erestor's blind, but he used to be a warrior stories (ok, actually i don't know, i'm just guessing), but it's just that when it happens at the same time, and when things have crossed paths like this before... it's just too weird. And very cool, I must admit, but at the same time just weird.

I need to come up with something extremely way bizarre and then, watch to see if the bunny hops over to eoas. *ponder ponder ponder*

Shit, I need to make cake tonight, too. Grr. Arg. Yawn. That is all.
