One of my favorite historical deepdive topics is the friendship between CS Lewis (the author for The Chronicles of Narnia) and JRR Tolkien (the author for The Lord of the Rings).
There’s so much good stuff to talk about like how Tolkien nearly broke off his friendship with Lewis because he wanted to put Santa Claus in his books, or how Tolkien got pissed about CS Lewis being called an “ascetic writer” in an interview because he watched him sling back 4 beers at lunch the day before. Plus the fact that Tolkien famously hated his work being taken as an allegory or metaphor, meanwhile Lewis was like “if one person doesn’t understand that the lion is Jesus I’ll shoot myself”

We’re a non-profit that’s in our tenth year of existence. (10 years! That’s a not-insignificant amount of time!) You can listen to us on major streaming platforms like Spotify. Here’s a track from our first album:
As of the typing if this, we’re heading into the homestretch of our crowdfunding campaign to fund the recording of our second studio album, Crystals in Time. It’s our love letter to the Final Fantasy games featuring some pretty fantastic tracks including at least one song you’ve probably heard before. This is a huge deal and we’ve got a ways to go.
So I’m turning to you, Hellsite of my heart. Donate if you’re able, spread the word around if that’s more your speed. We all do what we can when we can.
There are some fantastic perks in our Indiegogo campaign including a chance to give these cozy critters a home:
