And so wandered Aredhel, the great huntress, into Nan Elmoth, as yet unaware that she would fall not only for its charms but also for their Lord, Eöl, who dwelt there in its ever twilight ✨🌙

Celebrian and little Arwen✨

“There came a time near dawn on the eve of spring, and Luthien danced upon a green hill; and suddenly she began to sing. Keen, heart-piercing was her song as the song of the lark that rises from the gates of night and pours its voice among the dying stars, seeing the sun behind the walls of the world;”

- “The Tale of Beren and Luthien”, J.R.R. Tolkien

The House of the King - S&D SFW 76

In the battle Nólemë was isolated and slain, and the Orcs cut out his heart; but Turgon rescued his body and his heart, and it became his emblem. - The Book of Lost Tales, Part One

Image description: Chalk on concrete depicting the emblem of the House of the King of Gondolin: a scarlet heart, silver-white moon, and golden sun against a light blue background.  The emblem is in the shape of a shield and framed by a brown outline.

[homunculus-argument]

I don't want to get all "hur hur that's not realistic" to amateur writers, but I want to make sure that everyone knows this: in a medieval or medieval-ish setting, someone who's seen an archer before would definitely be able to tell whether someone's an archer just by looking at them.

Archeologists can't tell for sure whether someone was assigned male or female when alive from bone structure, but they can tell whether someone was an archer. Longbow archer, anyway. The way their arms and shoulders were strongly muscled in a very asymmetrical way is pretty much unmistakable, and they were muscled enough that it's visible in their bones. If someone's seen what archers look like, they can tell whether a stranger they've never seen before can shoot a bow or not.

Finding an unarmed and unconscious, soft-bodied and narrow-shouldered stranger in the woods, the first clue that this mf is not a ranged nor melee fighter is not by whether his fingers are calloused in the right places for a bowstring. A medieval bowman was built like a brick shithouse.

Here's my first submission for this year's @fall-for-tolkien, Maedros gives Elrond a goodnight kiss! I feel like it's been forever since I drew kidnap fam content (though I drew one for TRSB loll), so drawing these two was quite nice <3

early days in the havens

[what-even-is-thiss]

Gets stuck in the past and makes a random village get way smarter and less violent in a generational sense because I keep smacking people over the head with a stick and telling them that it’s the devil’s metal whenever they try to use lead for something in my presence and there develops a very niche regionalized superstition that an angry warlock will jump out of a tree and beat the shit out of you if you touch lead with your bare hands

[what-even-is-thiss]

Gets excommunicated by the Catholic Church for telling people that they can banish the devil from their water if they boil it therefore saving hundreds of people from a cholera outbreak but I don’t care and keep trying to convince the locals to use soap more often

[what-even-is-thiss]

Meets another iseksied person in the far past and beats the shit out of them for participating in the slave trade and eating moldy bread

[what-even-is-thiss]

Gets seen as crazy when I say I’m distilling peppermint oil to banish the miasma but people start asking to have some real quick when the Black Death comes to town and I am unaffected due to my constantly minty fresh house repelling rodents and fleas alike

[finleythecatperson]

You’re not at all worried about being labeled a witch and burned at the stake?

[what-even-is-thiss]

Witch burnings were very specifically a mid 1500s to mid 1600s phenomenon and I went back further than that so I’m fine as long as I don’t try to convince people that the earth revolves around the sun.

[finleythecatperson]

You’ve thought this out thoroughly and I appreciate that

[behindnightmaresanddreams]

one thing I can always respect about Roman's blog is that they put effort into his shit posts. Enough that they probably count as actual posts rather than shit posts.
