from dark beginnings to uncertain goals

A huge Tolkien nerd and known Celebrimbor enjoyer. I mostly reblog, but sometimes I write and say things.

Sauron

Cruelty that was born from rejection. Cruelty that was driven by perfectionism. The fear. The need. The love.

Here's a Mairon fanart because I just love him so much! 💖

"I will pick your bones before the ravens have mine. And your folks with remember what I was, and what I did to them, when there is no one left in your vile, pitiful anthill who remembers your name. So I have won."

Beleg heard their cries and came to them, and when he had given them food and drink he learned their names and whence they came, and he was filled with wonder and pity. And he looked with liking upon Túrin, for he had the beauty of his mother and the eyes of his father, and he was sturdy and strong.

'What boon would you have of King Thingol?' said Beleg to the boy.

'I would be one of his knights, to ride against Morgoth, and avenge my father,' said Túrin.

'That may well be, when the years have increased you,' said Beleg. 'For though you are yet small you have the makings of a valiant man, worthy to be a son of Húrin the Steadfast, if that were possible.'

Hey man why’s everyone in Ost-in-Edhil swooning

For the anon who requested Fingolfin months ago , I’m really sorry it took so long 😭 It didn’t turn out the way I originally planned .I wanted to do a full illustration, but ended up making a simple black and white drawing instead. I hope you like it 💙💙

Babe, listen

Your fic isn’t a flop, it’s a cult classic. Only the coolest freaks like it, don’t worry about it, it’s great.

6 Days To Go!

Celrond Week starts on the 8th, and as promised, here are a couple of bingo boards you can use to your heart's content! There are no rules beyond an attempt made to make adjacent squares touch (diagonals count!), and if you manage a funny shape, like in Board 2, we'll send you an ugly (not joking) digital sticker at the end of the week.

These are generally meant for ficlets, drabbles, doodles, moodboards, edits, incorrect quotes, meta crumbs, whatever tiny brainworms you’ve got lying around, or you can write a magnum opus, idc. And of course, your attempt should be over the course of the week, unless you want to do it all in one fic, in which case congratulations I guess. Look at you.

Anyway, please tag this blog and use the hashtag: #CelrondWeek and #CelrondBingo so your 'entries' count!

RE NSFW BOARD: please refer to FAQ for rules of engagement, ie smut and let smut, scroll if you dislike, you don't have to play either board and can block 'celrond nsfw bingo' if you don't want to see 18+ content or if you find these choices icky. Or you can make your own and tag us to have it reblogged! If you're participating, please follow Tumblr's guidelines with art/photos and ideally use content warnings (this blog will tag accordingly as well). Also, thank you to schlocktober from which 'cock and ball therapy' was stolen! <3

Breech baby got me hanging out upside down on an ironing board and having herbs burned near my little toes. If I had even the slightest urge to write, the sequel to Family Pulled From a Flood would write itself.

[aipilosse]

She flipped! Was it the ironing board or the burning herbs, or just the fact that I am tall with a long torso and this bebe is very very small? (not in a worrisome way, in a unborn baby way). We'll never know.

The next quest is 'vigorous walking' so the baby drops into the pelvis. This is slightly hampered by the fact that it's 20F and everything is covered in ice, but we persevere.

The reason Earendil is a paradigm-shifting character who succeeds in lifting the Doom of the Noldor is because unlike the rest of the Finweans he's a) gainfully employed (sailor) and b) his wife loves him send tweet
