SAURON’S HENCHMEN: LAUNDRY DAY
”Someone used my ring. Go find it.” ”We leave immediately, Lord Sauron.” //
”Wait a second…” //
”…What on Middle Earth are you wearing?” ”Our spare gowns.” ”It’s Friday.” ”Laundry day.” //
”…Leave on Monday.” ”Yes, Lord Sauron.”
The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien
HOW DID IT COME TO THIS?
Zoo – fun happening today!
”Kati, could you help me get dressed in this bee costume?” ”Sure.” //
”Heh. It’s like you’re going to the battle of Helm’s Deep and totally losing.” //
”…” //
”I didn’t understand a word of what you just said.” ”…never mind.” //
Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountains, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West, behind the hills, into Shadow…
The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien
Finnish translation by Kersti Juva
Tämänkertainen päivitys on fanitaidetta. Mistä toi on? on Aamuset-kaupunkimedian strippisarjakuva (jota tekevät serkkuni ja hänen vaimonsa), jonka ideana on se, että jokaisessa stripissä esiintyy lainaus jostakin suomalaisesta laulusta. Mistä toi on? löytyy mm. täältä ja täältä.
(This one doesn’t translate very well for cultural reasons. The strip is fan art of a Finnish comic called Mistä toi on? (”Where’s that from?) where in every strip there’s a quote from some Finnish song.)
(18-month-old kid of a camp friend) ”Flower!” //
”That’s not a flower, it’s Kati.” ”He can call me flower if he wants to.”
Tämä ihan oikeasti tapahtui <3
This actually happened <3

A NERD IS A NERD, EVEN ON A BIKE
Miksi minä aina päädyn piirtämään polkupyöriä, vaikka niiden piirtäminen on kamalaa?
Why do I always end up drawing bikes even though I hate drawing them?
Romeo and I biked to Hangö for midsummer. It was a 130 km journey. We were taking about nerdy stuff all the way.
Pisteet niille, jotka tunnistavat kaikki sitaatit!
Points to those who know all these quotes!
CLOCKWORK STRIKE GUARD
”Strange worlds called me again, this time in a game called Clockwork Strike Guard. The story was set in steampunk Siberia in 1799. My character was police chief’s 19-year-old daughter Esfir Timurevich who worked as the assistant police. Esfir likes throwing drunk idiots to jail.” ”What you’re doing is not illegal but it SHOULD BE!” Thanks to my mom, Snowhorse, Julia and Romeo as well as co-players for lending me props.
”Don’t take that bottle of vodka away! You’re gonna need it!” ”We’re going to celebrate!” //
”Hey Bogdan! Come here!” ”Hibs!” ”The police chief’s daughter is here!” //
”Will you – hibs! – marry me? You are – hic! – so beautiful…” //
”…and so sexy with a gun and – hibs! – handcuffs!” ”Yuck!” //
CLONK! //
”Yeah, I’ve been a bad boy…” //
”…you have to – hibs! – have me handcuffed and spank me! Hic!”
Kiitos pelinjärjestäjille ja peliseuralle!
Thanks to game masters and co-players!
YOUR ANIMAL COMPANION IN YOUR NEXT ROLE PLAYING GAME
”You’ll get a cuteness bonus for all your rolls!”
Elikkä random söpö kissa (tai ”en vieläkään osaa piirtää silmiä katsomaan samaan suuntaan”).
Or a random cute cat (or ”I still can’t draw eyes looking at the same direction”).
A MAP
Kaverini pääsi ylioppilaaksi, ja koska hän pitää roolipelaamisesta ja on monta kertaa pyytänyt minua tekemään uuden roolipelin syysleirin pelin jälkeen, tein hänelle lahjaksi oman pelin. Ja koska karttojen piirtäminen on hauskaa, aloitin piirtämällä pelimaailman kartan.
A friend of mine graduated from high school, and since she likes role playing games and has several times asked me to make a new game after the one we played on autumn camp, I made her a game as a present. And bacause drawing maps is fun I started by drawing a map of the game world.

IN THE NAME OF STYX!
”I participated a larp where the theme was Greek gods. I was playing Hermes, the messenger of gods …who is also a thief, gambler and a general trouble-maker.” //
”Now you screwed up, Hermes. As a punishment, I will confiscate your sandals!” ”But Apolloo-oon! I haven’t done anything! It’s so unfaaa-aare!” ”The sandals, Hermes!” ”Oh thank you, these winged sandals are really uncomfortable!”
