I've been going through the archives of Mundane Nirvana, a pretty awesome webcomic, and came across this strip. I wanted to share the awesomeness (and downright squee-worthiness) of this comic with you.

Agreeing on the cute, but also... by Cassie Cameron-Young on 2011-01-05 15:31:00 UTC Reply

if you want a mini-Balrog, you could always adopt one. :D

I run the Mini-Balrog Adoptions Agency and you're more than welcome to come and look around, and adopt one if you like them. ^_^

Ahhh, too many to choose!!!! by Vilstrup on 2011-01-06 09:53:00 UTC Reply

Simply too many!!!
Okay, relax... breathe, that's the key, breathe, let's have a look...

"looking, looking, looking"

You happen to have any female mini-balrogs?

Oh, yes! by Cassie Cameron-Young on 2011-01-06 18:48:00 UTC Reply

I'll list them here for you.

The place-name minis are generally considered male unless the names sound feminine. One of the Moria ones - Moira - is considered female, but she was adopted by an Agent a while ago.

how come by Vilstrup on 2011-01-07 09:45:00 UTC Reply

the names seem SSSOOOOO familiar.... did the creators not have any imagination when it came to names, or did they just take a shortcut about that part??

Actually... by Cassie Cameron-Young on 2011-01-07 22:01:00 UTC Reply

the concept of mini-Balrogs was created by Miss Cam, who wrote the Official Fanfiction University of Middle-earth. The idea actually is that mini-Balrogs are created by misspelling a Lord of the Rings canon character's name, or the name of a known location.

So the poor little minis are actually created by typos.

It's the same for other fandoms the PPC knows, these days. We have a list of types of minis here, all mini-versions of monsters native to the continuum being mangled. Hope this helps.

of personality does Eaowayn have?

Felegund is up for adoption? by galenfea on 2011-01-05 15:41:00 UTC Reply

Could I maybe give him a home in Jackson and Felaben's RC? I kind of feel I owe it to the poor little guy, since I must have summoned him into my various writings a hundred times in the early days.

Of course! by Cassie Cameron-Young on 2011-01-05 19:49:00 UTC Reply

I'm sending him over now. Hope he has fun! Remember to feed him bacon and eggs, and set him on any nosy Sues.

Iei! by galenfea on 2011-01-05 21:03:00 UTC Reply

*Cuddles him with oven mitts* Thank you!

HAH! Didn't expect that! by Sedri on 2011-01-05 08:58:00 UTC Reply

I'm assuming it's not a particularly ofu sort of fandom-ish comic strip? Either way, that sketch of the mini is just adorable.

No, it's not... by Pretzel on 2011-01-05 09:11:00 UTC Reply

though the webcomic itself is awesomely geeky.
