T.G. Swenson

A Tumblr with no central theme except to share things that amuse or interest me. I am 24 years old and living in Iowa City, IA with my wife and loving every moment of it. Currently at Kirkwood Community College and will be transferring to University of Iowa soon. Love reading books and comics, writing fiction, collecting old books and books with interesting inscriptions in them, watching all sorts of movies, playing video games (PS3 ID: TessionTG, PC - Steam: Swenny), hockey (Buffalso Sabres and St. Louis Blues fan since Kansas City still has no NHL team... *sigh* Hopefully they will someday).

What subjects will you see here: Anime (a lot of One Piece and FLCL lately), manga, comic books, super heroes, video games, rpgs, jrpgs, books, fantasy fiction, science fiction, creative writing, maybe some of my own fiction if I muster up the courage to share, favorite quotes, hockey, Buffalo Sabres, maybe some personal views of mine, art, illustrations (those that I find worth sharing and tend to be fantasy/sci-fi), concept art (for video games, books, comics, etc), things relating to Iowa and/or Iowa City,aaaand some other stuff but that is most of it.

Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!

I love this quote and couldn’t find it on a background I liked, so I made this.

I just found two mods for Skyrim.

  1. Crystal Greatsword
  2. The One Power 

Looks like it’s time to take down the Forsaken and the Dark One in Skyrim.

‘I, Perrin Aybara, do pledge you my love, Faile Bashere, for as long as I live.’ For as long as I live and after. ‘What I possess in this world I give to you.’ A horse, an axe, a bow. A hammer. Not much to gift a bride. I give you life, my love. That’s all I have. ‘I will keep and hold you, succor and tend you, protect and shelter you, for all the days of my life […] I am yours, always and forever.’ By the time he finished, his hands were shaking visibly.
