Tumblr crosspost (2 September 2020)

me, trying to go to sleep: I know I should have answered my email today, what if Dr [redacted] tried to contact me about my reading lists, or what if my approval form from Monday didn’t go in, or…*yawn*

me: go to sleep, go to sleep … the email though … hey, what if Suyin did step up when the Earth Kingdom went to shit?

*one minute later*

me: probably OOC BUT it could be really interesting … hard to see her going off the rails as much as Kuvira … and Kuvira, she’d be like an overzealous captain or something but not the leader … so when Korra comes back, it’s … complicated, and … what about Opal and Lin … and … zzzzzz

#for once i remember my going-to-sleep ideas #it would be korvira obviously

Tumblr crosspost (2 September 2020)

I was just watching an old Akallabêth video and remembered the AU idea I had where the Eagles rescue Míriel from the Meneltarma and take her to Elendil or something.

The idea was that she becomes ruler of the Númenórean kingdoms (in truth and not only in name), and though it’s another tragedy when Elendil is killed taking down Sauron, she lives to see Sauron defeated (fuck yeah!!). And she survives the war by a good while as the reigning Queen of Arnor and Gondor. And this creates a precedent for Ruling Queens in Middle-earth, so there are more of those along the way, and Fíriel also becomes ruling monarch (not Arvedui tyvm) and so. Things.

But mostly … Míriel! is! saved!!
