Kirryn (also known as Rin, Arwen, and many other things besides) is an elven maid born on the Ides of March (Noldo as all hell); a poet and a budding Tolkien scholar, wishing forever for mélamar. She tries to be elegant and graceful but is failing there. She is a witch, a Dao cultivator, a trauma survivor, and a pain in the backside — though she really doesn’t mean to be. She has no idea what she wants out of the future; she’s actually not even sure it exists. She has a lifelong passion for everything Middle-earth, a long-lived preoccupation with Heian Japan and traditional Japanese aesthetics, and will try her hand at almost all handicrafts under the sun, no matter how bad she is at them.
In short: she is happiest with inkstained fingers, beautiful music in her ears, a sweet milky coffee close at hand, and a head full of dreams. She is also very tired, over the whole talking in third person thing, and would still like another coffee, please.

As of 11/29/2024.
- feeling – high as a kite
- fixating on – Elrond’s pretty face 😛
- working on – couple of fanlistings upcoming, and a handmade paper journal about flowers…
- reading –
- DRAGONS OF FANTASY, Anne C Petty
- A WARNING ABOUT SWANS, R.M. Romero
- THE SWORD OF SHANNARA, Terry Brooks
- BATTLEAXE, Sara Douglass
- listening to – Manics Manics MANICS!! I can’t fucking wait for the new album. ♥♥♥
Also “oI” by SawanoHiroyuki[zNk] and “好きにしなよ” by Anly are getting a lot of replays lately. - watching – lots of great short films on Omeleto. “Scars” broke me into a thousand pieces, and I can’t recommend “The Landing” highly enough. What an amazing film. Also, “Virtually” is hopepunk as hell — real hopepunk, I mean, not the cozy fluffy bastardisation of it. </opinions>
- playing – Tsuki’s Odyssey and Pocket Love on my tablet, and I’m thinking of doing another big ol’ Stardew Valley run…
- wishing – for a million dollars. And wishing I was joking about wishing for that. 🙁
- looking forward to – nothing much; Christmas is approaching, and I know people will think I’m Satan for thinking this, but honestly, I can’t stand this horrible season, it’s so stressful…
