The Silmaril Awards 2021: Nominations Open!

Alright, y'all GUESS WHAT? (Okay, maybe I gave it away with the post title. But that's kind of part of the job.) IT'S TIME FOR THE SILMARIL AWARDS... (seventh annual! yay!) AND I'M HOSTING ONE. (It's a huge honor, guys. I still have a little bit of imposter syndrome over it, to be honest.) Of course, you're wondering, I'm sure, what the Silmaril Awards are. (Unless you already know what they are, in which case, please skip my explanation and proceed.) In a nutshell: The Silmaril awards are like Tonys or Oscars or Golden Globes...but for fantasy characters. Awarded by Tolkien's characters in a fantabulous award ceremony at the end of the month of September, each Silmaril honors a character in one of ten (or sometimes eleven, but this year only ten) categories. The best part? Y'all are the ones who get to nominate and vote on the characters who you think most qualified for each a...

January Wrap-Up

January was kind of a weird month. Nothing happened, and yet I was busy all the time. Thus, the "life" section of this post is going to be rather boring, because what I was busy with was mostly school. But I did watch a whole lot of Marvel movies! So my "movies" section is excessively full, to compensate. XD (I apologize in advance for the amount of Marvel screaming.) Blog (As always, these are all links, even if they don't appear to be.)

The Silmaril Awards 2024: Nominations Open!

*bounces into the blog* HELLO WONDERFUL PEOPLES OF THE INTERNET! I am here on a Monday in September, and you know what that means? IT'S SILMARIL TIME!!! *dances tiny jig* I'm so excited to host another Silmaril this year! They're a massive highlight of the blogging year for me (even if they make my dorm room super crowded, and last year's Silmarils resulted in the PDA levels at Newman skyrocketing exponentially ;)). In case you've never heard of these illustrious awards, and are wondering what the heck Samantha is freaking out about, the Silmaril awards are the equivalent of the Tonys or Oscars or Golden Globes...but for fantasy characters. Awarded by Tolkien and Lewis's characters in multiple awards ceremonies at the end of the month of September, each Silmaril honors a character in one of ten categories. The best part? You guys are the ones who get to nominate and vote on the characters who you...
