Subject: Frodo
Title: Going Home
Notes: After "Praise Them With Great Praise," in which Frodo reflected on his life and the quest while recovering in Minas Tirith, it felt right to continue on with Frodo into the West and to the peace that he finds there. This mix is for antane , whose friendship, hobbity kindness, and wonderful recommendations are so greatly appreciated (and honestly led to the birth of this fanmix here =3). This mix is a thoughtful retrospection, and I feel that anyone looking for peace or uplifting might be happy to look further here. Happy listening, friends and fellow travelers!

Title: Praise Them With Great Praise
Notes: I meant to have this posted on March 25th, the anniversary of Sauron's downfall and the return of the King, however, I was unable to do so until today. But somehow, this Easter time seems a worthy substitute, as it is a time of remembrance in itself. This mix begins immediately following the destruction of the Ring and traverses Frodo's many memories - happy, sad, and frightening. Easter is also the anniversary of my father's passing away, and it is with him, too, that my thoughts lie in posting this. It is to him that I am indebted for sharing Tolkien's wonderful world with me, which Frodo saved for the people that he loved and I feel, somehow, for me as well. In a time where there is so much bad in the world and so many people are suffering, it may seem pointless to extend praise towards a fictional character. However, I believe these fictional characters can help us to see the good that is in all of us, and that, my friends, is never pointless. It is as Paul the Apostle said so many years ago: "If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." And so we should. Praise them with great praise!

Title: Brother of My Heart
Notes: For the lovely antane  who requested more spoiling by yours truly. Hopefully this is to your liking, dear! This is dedicated to the dearly imagined first meeting and growing friendship between Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee, the greatest pair of friends in literary history. Working on this put a smile on my face, and I hope that it gives you all a smile as well. =)

Title: Birds & Ships
Notes: For my dear Frodo on his birthday. May you have a happy one full of starlight, friend. Also for the lovely as ever antane , whose kindness and heart always inspire and uplift me, and whose sweet story "Birthday Memories" led to this fanmix. I hope that you like this, dear!

Subject: Sam & Rosie
Title: Underneath the Stars
Notes: Dedicated to Sam and Rosie Gamgee, the lovely hobbit couple who rarely gets the attention that they deserve. Tolkien placed a special emphasis on Sam's "rustic love" for Rosie,  "a union that serves to establish a family in which allusions to Elvish wonders (embodied in Sam's daughter Elanor) are combined with the best qualities of traditional Shire-life." I wanted to explore this "rustic love" from its humble beginnings, and I only hope that I can do some justice to it here.

Title: Kindle My Heart
Notes: Dedicated to the lovely antane who requested an "extended edition" to my latest fanmix, The Last Journey. Hopefully this is to your liking, dear! I was trying to think of how best to continue journeying with Frodo past death before I finally decided to return to jodancingtree's stories, both "Beyond the Havens" and "Long Home of Mortals," which tell it just how I've always somehow imagined it. It is fitting considering that it was the former that led to the title choice of The Last Journey. There will be some quotes below from these stories, and if you have the time, please read the full versions, which are linked below. They are a balm to the soul.

Hello! I have finally made the decision to change my pen-name from "Tsukasa-Magic" to "Miss Melilot." I have been under the guise of "Tsukasa-Magic" for almost eight years now, and frankly, it is no longer who I am, from meaning to identity.

I feel a little silly explaining a name change, but considering how long I have been "Tsukasa-Magic," maybe it is justified. =) All of my signatures and work have been modified accordingly.
