HFE, promote your patreon exclusives!
Good idea, I’m glad I thought of it~.
- May:
- A Mouse Who’s Too Good for Middle-Earth!
- What Chu really thinks about what happened with Mahal and Eru.
- Fire Fox.
- “Their morals and muscles may be mighty, but their minds are mightily malnourished,” ― Pixxy Fire Fist.
- Medication!
- Kenken, Shadow, Piko, Solnishko, and I discuss my badly-needed anxiety medication. And a just as badly-needed break from writing.
- Lucky: Wow. Your mom thought you’d be afraid of everything since childhood.
- Luckdown: And now, you actually are afraid of everything!
- HFE: For me, anxiety’s actually more like, “If I don’t do all the things now, I’ll never be able to do them.” But yes, I am sorely aware of the irony. My mom never will be, but I am.
- Commander Riley: Those assholes don’t even examine the consequences of fictional characters’ bad parenting, of course they’ll never examine their own.
- Kenken: For every action in nature, there is an equal and opposite reaction, Newton’s Third Law of Motion, edited by Nancy Hall.
- Kenken, Shadow, Piko, Solnishko, and I discuss my badly-needed anxiety medication. And a just as badly-needed break from writing.
- Ardan Elven Linguistics.
- Another jab at Tolkien’s “splendid” world-building.
- “It’s too many damn pages for any man to understand!” Clifton Nathaniel Chase, Edward G. Fletcher, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Melvin Glover, Sylvia Robinson; Cabinet Battle #1.
- “Square Enix can take the most simple, straightforward ideas and scramble them with so much unnecessary detail, they become downright garbled,” Jim Sterling; Kingdom Hearts Is Stupid Gibberish (The Jimquisition).
- “Not that complex is bad, it’s just, you need to be good at writing to have a complicated plot that works; and Kingdom Hearts, as a series, to be honest, isn’t all that well-written. It’s poorly-paced, the dialogue is really repetitive. It’s the narrative equivalent to George Lucas layering in all that CG shit with the special editions of Star Wars. Just too much layered on without regard to what’s already there,” Jim Sterling later on in the same video.
- Single Blind Girl Seeks Science and Adventures.
- “I just explained it to you. Are you actually listening to me!? Or did you drop off the minute I said I was a blind girl!?!” ― Pixxy Fire Fist.
- A Mouse Who’s Too Good for Middle-Earth!
- June:
- Don’t You Wanna Be Evil Like Me?

- Corviknight Communication.
- “For the purposes of communicating with the Dwarves, do I count as a raven? I’ve decided that, yes, I’m good enough! Now, whether I want to communicate with them is another matter~. Besides, as the character inspired by Lord Celeborn, why would I want to communicate with them anyway?” ― Iron-Winged Icy Eyes.
- A Better Crossover Event than Avengers Endgame.
- A post-launch add-on for Magna Mater. I recommend reading that first.

- No matter what your profession is, everyone needs morals and ethics.
- “Long live any monarch who learns to speak of mercy, pity, and peace while still in his mother’s arms. People, behold your king! Beowulf will uphold and protect him as long as he lives!” Robert Nye; Beowulf: A New Telling.
- The Fairest of Them All.
- The Glorfindels are intent on ensuring that only whomever they consider “Elves” can vote by the way. Everybody loves Elves, but if we’re all honest with ourselves, we’re Orcs. Ardan Orcs do whatever their master tells them to. And granted, some of us have to. Nobody chooses to be born unto an Eol, after all…
- “[I]t is hard for many people to abandon the concept that human beings are angels imprisoned in earthly shells,” ― David Livingstone Smith, The Most Dangerous Animal: Human Nature and the Origins of War.
- You know who understands this just fine? Ardan Elves. You’re our younger siblings.
- “Ask not the elves for advice, because they will tell you both ‘yes’ and ‘no’,” J.R.R. Tolkien.
- Well, sibs, I hate to break it to you, but sometimes life is too gay for straight answers.
- No matter how much you try to reduce to strictly black-and-white, that’s just not how Reality works.
- You can either embrace this, or continue holding the world back with your malicious ignorance.
- “[Y]oung Elves seem older than they actually are,” Tolkien Gateway; Elven life cycle, Early life.
- Hiding vs Guarding.
- “Any Elves who can’t tell the difference between me and the Middle-Earth dark-type ilk don’t deserve this rescue team!” ― Shadow of Chaos.
- Altaria.
- Exclusive art of my favorite dragon bird!
- Storytelling Studies.
- Why we keep studying Tolkien’s mythos, even though we end up complaining about it over half the time.
- If we didn’t complain about it, that’d be even more insulting, don’t you think?
- Tolkien put a lot of work into this world. If we had zero thoughts at all, that means nothing he did moved us.
- Overly Specialized Professionals.
- September:
- Haunted Houses.
- What the type of Christians I grew up with believe about death is: you either go to Valinor, where you’re remade into a physically perfect and perfectly obedient and perpetually happy person; or you’re tossed into the fires of Mt. Doom where you will suffer for eternity.
- So if you’re a Christian who truly wants to spread the light and love of Christ to the world; first of all, keep in mind that Christ’s light has been used to not only harm individuals, but also to justify slaughtering entire peoples and erasing all the good things about their cultures.

“HFE, thank you for creating and sharing so much art and writing for free. How can we help turn your passion and skills into a full-time gig?”
I’m glad you asked!
If you can give me a one-time tip, head over to ko-fi. I’ve also got emotes and icons you can buy.
If you can commit to a monthly tip, you can set that up via twitch or patreon. Twitch also lets you set up alternate payment schedules: every three months and every six months. Ko-fi lets you set up monthly payments now, too!
You can also buy some characters and critters I’ve designed on toyhouse.
And if you have no money to spare (understandable), one way you can help me out is by commenting and using as many share buttons as possible. Commenting gives me feedback on what works y’all are passionate about. Sharing helps expose my works to new people. The bigger my audience grows, the more audience members with money will encounter my works.
Thank you for taking time to read this. I hope you enjoy what you’ve found here.
