It's not for me. But I think I understand why it exists.

Not all that glitters is gold

by Susana Polo Jun 24th

We're a little late on this one, but when it was brought to our attention we had to share. Above is just one entry from Noelle Stevenson's art series The Broship of the Rings. Above is Eowyn. Quoth Stevenson: "Of course the Rohirrim are a biker gang." Welcome, ladies and gents, to a world where Shadowfax is a VW Van, Boromir pops his collar, Bill the Pony is a fixed-speed bike, and Arwen totally loved Aragorn before he was king.

by Susana Polo Feb 22nd

The Hipster Princesses Meme began humbly, with only Ariel, but unlike its red haired founder, this meme has legs.
