knowing how it tends to go with male authors and their wives it was probably marge who wrote the odyssey

[chaos-of-the-abyss]

while it's definitely a loss, in a certain way i also find it incredibly charming that we only know two (2) things for certain about dior as a person, and those two things are:

he's very tenacious and determined, and will go for it even when the odds are against him

he is incredibly incredibly incredibly hot

Elven word of the day, 405/?

Helfileg from early Sindarin

Meaning “frost on panes”

This is such a lovely, cool word! The derivation is hel meaning cold or frost as seen in later words like heleg meaning ice, and is related to Helcaraxë.

Fileg means fern so the translation is literally frost ferns which is so evocative!

I love that the Sindar have a word for this.

See also niquessë, a Quenya word for frost patterns which translates to ice feather ❄️❄️❄️

Fëanor’s color being red is such a popular fanon it’s practically indistinguishable from canon BUT consider

Finwë’s colors are blue and gold (from his heraldry). Fingolfin adopts Finwë’s colors when he’s ruling Tirion during Finwë’s jaunt in Formenos (Fingolfin means it as a show of loyalty, Fëanor thinks it’s presumptuous, because of course. Fingolfin then doubles down on this after Helcaraxë out of spite). Finarfin’s colors are white and gold (also taken from his heraldry) and the natural conclusion is that Fëanor = red because red = fire but i imagine him going for a gorgeous, rich Tyrian purple and gold! Each son uses the same gold with their own twist on it

The lords of Gonfdolin.

Look at me trying to make as many variations of black hair and grey eyes as possible. Gonfdolin would be one of the places where I would consistently give most characters some kind of makeup. I just feel like they were all fairly vain and had enough security to start expressing themselves through makeup/fashion and jewelry more like their kin in Hithlum and Himring for example.

do you think elves domesticated horses in cuiviénen or do you think orome turned up on nahar and they went what the Fuck is that guy doing to that beast

[feldfrog]

If a fantasy world has an ancient tree of wisdom, that means it must also have young trees that are dumb as shit. Just giving terrible advice like, "the evil wizard is kinda hot"'

Celeborn, Beleriand's most ✨pretty✨ eligible bachelor

(he won't be single for long... Galadriel is on a mission 😏)

I've been playing around with starting a prequel comic to Romance in Rivendell that's basically the start of Celeborn and Galadriel's love story. Celeborn is the prettiest most desirable boy on the block and Galadriel is wooing the heck out of him, and unbeknownst to her, he is wooing her, too. But due to ✨circumstances✨ outside of both of their control, their attempts at courting each other keep missing each other and/or misfiring 😅

idk would anyone even like to Read something like that??

[gvalesdraws]

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.”

Gil-galad son of Orodreth is very good to me actually bc the most successful High King of the Noldor having the least actual Noldorin ancestry is funny

“I asked chatgpt” well I journeyed to Rivendell to seek council of Elrond Half-Elven, wise among men and wizards alike, and he invited me to a meeting with representatives of all the free peoples of Middle Earth. It turns out that my trouble is but part of the trouble of all the world, the origins of which lie in earlier, grander ages—but none of us stand alone!

Excision

100 words of Curufin and Celebrimbor for @feanorianweek. Ow.

It hurts, but with the keen relief of a boil’s lancing. The ugliness is broken open, making space for something wholesome to unfold. Curufin bites his tongue against the taste of Don’t forsake me. He does not permit himself to plead. The echoes of Celebrimbor’s childhood self in his furious shoulders, the pinch of his brows, only reinforce the need – to be severed, to keep this one good thing that Curufin has made from further harm. He gasps deep lungfuls of the bitter air, weeping as Nargothrond recedes. Let him be Doomed, damned…if only Tyelpe might thereby be saved.

Also on AO3.
