Seriously though I imagine that Hobbits are like masters of the polite fiction. They clearly love to gossip and tell tales, but they also really love the idea of nothing actually disrupting their leisurely, quiet lives, so you figure when they decide that not talking about something is required to do that, nobody talks about it. They pick themselves a nice little delusion and by god they stick to it.

Like this other thought I had once was that there’s this Dwarf that used to come by and visit Bilbo, probably one of the many cousins and relations of Thorin’s Company. And he kind of falls in love with the Shire and is like “That’s it, I’m retiring here.”

A Dwarf. Living in the Shire.

People don’t emigrate to the Shire. It’s not done! Hobbits can move from one part of the Shire to another, but you don’t have something else entirely move to it from outside of it!

Except it would be abominably, beastly rude to actually tell him that. “No, you can’t live here”, what, are we animals? Beasts? Orcs? Plus, uh, he’s kind of fucking rich. Like, really rich. Like he just plunked down a good three times what a hill is actually worth because he says it has “good bones”.

So everyone decides, for the sake of the peace, for the sake of their own minds…

… he is a Hobbit.

Hairiest Hobbit you ever saw. With a weirdly deep hole. Yeah people have been in that sucker and it just keeps. Going. Down. A weird distance down. Lot of stonework. But that there is Mr. Talbin Ironnails the Hobbit. Mm-hmm. Oh, the beard’s just a bit of an eccentricity, don’t mind him.

Need some metalwork done? Why, you want ol’ Talbin! Best Hobbit you’ve ever seen with a hammer and tongs. Dwarf? No, no, who ever heard of a Dwarf living in the Shire! That’s just old Talbin! Bit on the tall side, but don’t be intimidated at all.

Oh dear, wolves you say? Well, let’s go ask ol’ Talbin if he can take care of it. Once took a wolf’s head clean off with what we’re very sure was a very fancy woodsman’s axe, what with the long metal haft and two heads. Must have a bit of Took in him, does ol’ Talbin. Explains why he’s so odd, eh? Eh?

Beer? Drink you under the table, ol’ Talbin will! Why, some say he has the constitution of a Dwarf, ha ha ha! HE’S NOT THOUGH.

Between this and the “half goblin, half hobbit” post going around, I have to wonder how odd the Took ancestor’s “fairy” wife must have been that people actually remarked on her.

Tolkiens world building is great in the two towers eomer’s like “yeah we don’t trade horses with sauron but he does raid us and he only takes the black horses” like what a commitment to the aesthetic. He’s so evil that he can’t have horses of other colours. How common are black horses? This has to be inconvenient for all of the servants of Sauron

Another doodle of these 2 because my energy to make full pieces of them is nonexistent (ignore Thorin's arm I didn't feel like making it look better)

THE CAT MEME

Some Rivendell elf content!

These are very rushed concept sketches/doodles so dont mind that!

Rivendell elves have bird like features, including mainly feathered arms and ears! They also, as you can see with the hand, have talons!

Ive got more details for them but for now Im just gonna drop this

#op im obsessed with ur elf designs

stardayzzing

Some doodles that relate to my version of Mirkwood elves!!

If anybody is interested I can make some points etc about them and the deer!

stardayzzing

These are a bit more sloppy than usual but baby Leggy trying on his Father's kingly attire. Im quite sure those ears are the only thing keeping the crown from slipping right off

stardayzzing

So Ive been thinking about this for a while and decided eventually that I was just gonna do it, but I wanted to redesign Legolas to how I feel fits a forest elf properly. Because honestly him and Thranduil look like snow elves or smth in the movies, and the palette I used now looks infinitely more like a wood elf's.

In also changing some of the deer lore around him, so he no longer has his mother's deer.

But uhhh fir now this somewhat sloppy piece of my redesigned Legolas !!

stardayzzing

It's been too long (it has been like 2 days) since I posted anything with Legolas and Thranduil so have Thran and his silly little son again hehe >:)

stardayzzing

A mixture of low quality sketches/doodles of Frodo and Legolas, but Frodo is a snow hobbit and Legolas is my own version as well

Also I think Frodo deserves to be coddled and held and reassured because oh my GOD

stardayzzing

A few sloppy doodles of a middle-earth persona. In the event of them joining the company, they would likely be the designated scavanger, and local flirt with people they shouldn't flirt with *cough*thranduil*cough*

My friend also has a dwarven persona and it and its characters mother have given Ronan(their name) the braids you see.

Also, it's hard to tell on these, but they're about 36

(Side note, Fili looks badly doodled bc Ive only drawn him like once and this was a rushed doodled too </3)

you: boromir succumbed to the ring because he was faithless, selfish and the weakest member of the fellowship

me, an intellectual: boromir held such belief in the power of good over evil and the strength of the people of middle earth that he literally believed with enough willpower they could turn sauron's work against him. he was absolutely convinced that with enough goodness and love and solidarity they could overcome the most fundamental evil. the ring used those beliefs and used them to isolate boromir from the fellowship because that's what it does - it takes people's good attributes and uses them to twist them into something serving its own purposes. the ring literally could only corrupt boromir because he was a fundamentally good and faithful person at heart. in this essay i will

the fact that at the council of elrond glorfindel is like “just throw the ring into the ocean” is so funny to me after reading the silmarillion just because it feels like the subtext is him being like “yeah let’s try maglor’s patented and tested method: Just Yeet The Accursed Fucking Thing Into The Water”

#in fairness they do do literally the other fëanorion approved method of magical item disposal #glorfindel: we could do like maglor and throw it in the ocean? #elrond: no we’re doing like maedhros and jumping into a volcano via @lesbianlanval

*at the council of Elrond*

Elrond: Alright, everyone listen up. We elves have 4 methods of dealing with Accursed Fucking Objects™, as demonstrated by my four parents.

Number 1, the Elwing Method or Mom Method. This is to hide the accursed fucking thing away and keep it safe and close. This is highly not reccommended if the object can take over its user like the ring can, and Sauron will be searching for it, so this method is out of the question.

Number 2, the Earendil Method or the Dad #1 Method. This is, send the accursed fucking thing across the sea or to some higher power. According to Mithrandir, the Valar will not take it and Tom Bombadil wants nothing to do with it, so this is also out of the question.

Number 3 is the Maglor Method, or Dad #2 Method. This is to yeet the accursed fucking thing into the ocean. In this case, it is not a good idea as Ulmo will be very upset and we will still have to contend with Sauron.

The last method is the Maedhros Method or the Dad #3 Method. This method is to yeet yourself into a volcano while holding the accursed fucking thing, and also the method we will be using. You will not have to yeet yourself into the volcano, only the ring, don’t worry, Frodo.
