I love reading TV based fic, but am saddened to see book based fic getting buried in the book tag and becoming very difficult to find. I’m not sure how to give new fans a heads-up about this. You have a (very deservedly!) wide following, would you perhaps consider posting this? Thank you regardless! 2/2

I think a lot of fic writers now (like myself) are using a combination of both the book and the series as inspiration and are therefore using both tags intentionally. but I can post this as a heads up that there are two separate fandom tags on AO3, which I know was not the case until a week or two after the series aired.

“I’m moving away from heaven… to the left, or the right or… on the same plane… laterally… I’m moving away from heaven laterally.” Aziraphale repeated, “Not closer to hell or… Her… just, you know, to the side. Not a side. ”
“Um… laterally… ” Crowley considered it, not looking to argue with it, but never opposed to pointing out that it could be argued with, “but that doesn’t get us closer to them, or to each other.”

Can we talk about how my vacation's changing me?
I get more time for my recreation, more time to improve my drawing's skills and (in the place where I've not got my computer) I can draw on the paper (I thought it would be a big problem/challenge!, but vice versa).
And I want to thank you, guys. All of you! You make my life a better place 🥰🥰🥰

Ok, so, as most know hobbits LOVE mushrooms, but what if they love ALL mushrooms, even the poisonous ones. What if a hobbit’s body is able to handle more of the poison and it doesn’t affect them at all. And they love it!
And then they nearly give Aragorn a heart-attack when they’re heading to Rivendell.
Pippin, just being pippin: Look, MUSHROoms!!
The other three, running at full speed: MUSHROOMS!
Aragorn, who is a skilled ranger who knows every plant, tree, and flower to survive: No those are poisonous!
Frodo, who’s mouth is stuffed full: No they’re not. We eat these all the time back in the shire.
Merry, speaking with his mouth full, spitting mushroom everywhere: Yeah, they’re definitely not poisonous. Do you want one?
Aragorn, now having an existential crisis: No, n-no. I’m good.
Sam, mumbling under his breath: Well I wasn’t gonna share anyways.
@penny-anna this seems like your kind of hobbit lore
… OKAY NO WAIT THIS IS IMPORTANT
What if that’s the reason Sam and Frodo survived in Mordor?
What if all those references to noxious fumes and tainted water and everything were completely literal? They avoided eating anything made there, but they had to keep drinking and breathing.
What if part of Mordor’s defenses was that it’s literally poisonous to any creature not specifically bred to live in those conditions? What if Faramir was so careful about warning them about drinking the water because he knew it was fatal? What if Sauron’s general lack of concern about shit going down inside his own borders (aside from treachery, which apparently happened a lot) was knowing that any Mortal Man or Elf or Whatever that wandered in was gonna be stone dead in a few days, and his desire to catch any infiltrators on the borders was to keep them alive long enough for questioning?
And then these two hobbits who have spent their entire lives merrily ingesting enough poisonous fungi for breakfast to give Shelob a stomach-ache trot into Mordor and drink the poisonous waters and breath the poisonous fumes and scratch themselves on the poisonous thorns and feel mildly unwell.
Years later Sam gets a pained note from Faramir asking him how the hell he and Frodo survived when all the water is tainted with arsenic according to the survivors of the exploratory party and Sam writes back confused ‘What’s arsenic, it tasted bad and a bit metallic, that’s all I know honestly’ and Faramir goes to rant at Aragorn about how bizarre this is and is really confused when Aragorn goes into full-on flashbacks of watching those four tiny dumbasses STUFFING DEATH CAPS INTO THEIR MOUTHS LIKE GODDAMN CANDY.
Oooooo, I like that!! And it would make sense after Boromir went on and on about how impossible it was to be able to breathe in Mordor.
Hobbits are viewed as “tough” by the larger races…
