Prompt:  Favorite sword

 Um.  Ahaha, you see, uh, I don't really notice the swords that much.  However, I'll try my best.  Excuse me while I go look at Internet pictures of all the different swords I can remember.  'T'will just take a moment.

All right, so it seems to me that the choices for me are Andúril (Aragorn's, after Elrond reforges it), Sting (Bilbo's and later Frodo's), or Hadhafang (Arwen's).  (Those happen to be the only three I have the inclination or precision to research.)

This is actually harder than I thought.  All three of the swords are cool for different reasons…



Andúril, Flame of the West

We all love Aragorn's sword.  Let's just admit it.


You're welcome.





Hadhafang

I like this one, but it's a bit too curved for me.  



Sting

I think this one might actually be my favorite.  It's a close call with Andúril, but if we're talking strictly sword-wise, I think I like this one the best.

    Great pictures! And Sting is delightful. I didn't even know the name of Arwen's sword, so you've totally taught me something with this post :-)

    Isn't it, though? It's surprisingly lovely;)

    I didn't know the name either! I just saw it when I was researching pictures, and I thought, "Hmm. That's interesting." It seems there's a whole history with it, but I don't know it yet:D

    Hee! I just posted my favorite sword answer, and we both love Sting. Sting really is an amazing sword. However, no, I do not love Anduril. I might be the only person out there who doesn't, though! LOL! :-D Arwen's sword is very pretty.

      Isn't Sting great?! It's so pretty...I'm not sure how I feel about the whole glowing-blue thing. I know, I know, it's cool and all, but it seems a bit too...too contrived, I guess. What do you think? You don't like Anduril? Oh, gasp!;) Haha that's okay, really:D Yes, I like the engraving on Arwen's sword!

      I love that Sting glows blue. Just makes me think, wow, some elf sword maker was brilliant. It's a great built-in warning system. I'll take it!

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewin...

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capul...

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would ...
