So, my art acc got permanently banned on insta for literally no reason (I haven't even logged in in months). Feeling absolutely devastated rn, mainly bc of all the lost comments, stories n stuff which my stupid ass didn't think to back up. I know there's practically no hope at this point but maybe just maayybe someone reading this has dealt with this bs and managed to get their acc back?? (yes I know it says the decision can't be reversed but WHAT IF)

Currently in love with the mental image of a Sauron covered in blood. Absolutely drenched. The soggiest man you can imagine. Head to toe red.

And then he just takes out a little handkerchief and starts calmly cleaning his hands.

My riff on Bernini’s Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. Shoutout to @VenenumTea for the crossover idea with Laurence as Mairon & Ludwig as Melkor, and rekindling my deep love for baroque art - thank you.

Since we’ve also been deprived of Celebrian/Elrond during the Second Age, here they are :)

For Sauron took to himself the name of Annatar, the Lord of Gifts, and they had at first much profit from his friendship…

—The Silmarillion, “Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age”

And Zigûr coming looked upon Anadûnê and the city of Arminalêth in the days of its glory, and he was indeed astounded; but his heart within was filled the more with envy and with hate.

—The History of Middle-earth: Volume IX: Sauron Defeated, “The Drowning of Anadûnê”

But Sauron was not of mortal flesh, and though he was robbed now of that shape in which he had wrought so great an evil, so that he could never again appear fair to the eyes of Men, yet his spirit arose out of the deep and passed as a shadow and a black wind over the sea, and came back to Middle-earth and to Mordor that was his home. There he took up again his great Ring in Barad-dûr, and dwelt there, dark and silent, until he wrought himself a new guise, an image of malice and hatred made visible; and the Eye of Sauron the Terrible few could endure.

—The Silmarillion, “Akallabêth: The Downfall of Númenor”
