"The world has changed. I see it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air..."

Partially front of the cuff, still over stone, but this time with the fastener attached and the shape closed
More focused pic of the fastener, partially at shadow. It's a Lórien leaf, like the elven brooches received by the Fellowship, with the border and filigrees in metallic silver and the rest of the leaf painted in metallic shiny green, attached to the cuff by silver rivets
Front pic of the leather cuff, stretched, with a view to the whole design of the inscription, the vines and the Nenya, and partial view of the fastener, a Lórien leaf
Partially sided pic of green leather cuff on a stone setup and some leaves, with various designs of The lord of the rings pieces: at the center, the Nenya design, the ring of Galadriel (a star shaped kind of flower, with intertwined branches at both sides) painted in metallic silver. At the upper border, the One Ring inscription, and an irregular design of vines and small leaves, both handcarved and painted in metallic golden

#ScribesAndMakers Sep. 16 - Which part of your work makes you unique/different from anyone else?
Should I be? Everything I do has been done and is being done by others, thank goodness, but the combination may be unusual. The philology/linguistic reconstruction work was inspired by #Tolkien and made possible by the incredible scholarly work of Korean historical linguists; I center female and queer characters as inspired by other female and queer writers; I write in #HistoricalFiction which is a well-established genre; the language I write in is English but the subject matter is usually East Asian/Korean.

"Also I particularly like #Esperanto, not least because it is the creation of one man, not a philologist, and is therefore something like a 'human language bereft of the inconveniences due to too many successive cooks'--which is as good a description of the ideal artificial language (in a particular sense) as I can give."

#Tolkien is good example of an author whose works deserve more criticism than they have received.
Although Tolkien famously decried any attempt to read The Lord of the Rings as an allegory, it's plain that it's impossible to read LotR as anything but allegorical, especially when you consider his personal history as a soldier and his avowed pastoralism and opposition to industrialism.
His works have racism baked into their very bones, and people get very angry when you point this out. #books

Au hasard d'un mail de collègue, j'apprends que ma thèse est (enfin!) en ligne : la #reception de l'oeuvre de #Tolkien par ses #fans (UK, US, France) jusque 1992. Pour les curieux ou courageux, c'est par ici:
