Finally figured out how to draw Arwen's profile (kinda).

i would have followed you to the very ends of mordor, my brother, my king 𖣂︎⋆˙⟡

[oldcoyote]

if you ever doubt that your ao3 comments matter or mean something: i have been struggling with my writing for 6 months straight, crying myself to sleep afraid that i will never be able to write again, that the thing i love most in the world has left me, that my writing is just gone

this morning i got this comment:

and after i stopped blubbering over it, i picked up my writing notebook, and re-read all my fic research, and opened up my document again for the first time in weeks without being afraid of it

you have no idea how much writers treasure every single comment we get. you have no idea how big an impact you can have. sometimes, just sometimes, your one "insignificant" comment changes everything

[paperplateprose]

writing challenge!

open up your document and put words in it

[hikarielizabethbloom]

That's his son!

[valar-did-me-wrong]

The way they NEVER show his ears (as someone here pointed out once, genius btw) idk why they don't show his ears if they keep on saying he's not Arondir's son.. like where are his ears then?!?!

Though ngl Bronwyn IS beautiful and capable and everything to catch 2 seperate elves' eyes but... idk @_@

Also I agree with your "It isnt always blood that binds but love too" point OP 😭 sorry for derailing the post 🙈

LEGOLAS & ARAGORN

discovered embroidery brush and, true to character, went overboard with it. a little practice in my illustration style, enjoy a trashy novel cover, either BL or buddy-cop depending on your interpretation, featuring the most annoying duo to ever exist. i know the elves of imladris wanted to lock them in a room and throw away the key, i know it!

Did anyone on here get to meet the Rings of Power cast at either SDCC 2022 or 2024? If so, how? Did they have scheduled times they were at a booth or was it an exclusives thing?

This year is my first year going to San Diego Comic Con. I'm definitely going to the Rings of Power panel on Friday (SO excited), but if there's an opportunity to meet the cast, I really don't want to miss it. I've been making clay rings for the past two weeks (I'm up to 100 of them) to hand out at the con as part of my Sauron cosplay, and I'd love the opportunity to give the cast members rings too. I'd also love to be able to tell Charlie how much his Sauron means to me.

Any advice? I haven't been able to find anything on the SDCC website about the cast doing signings, and I'm wondering if they aren't doing it this year, if it's something that's not announced until closer to the show, or if it's by invitation only or something like that.

The White Tree of Gondor. Hand embroidery

This embroidery is done in A3 size using DMC Satin (viscose) thread on matte black fabric. To create a 3D effect, I used a base of two felt layers. The felt was carefully cut to match the curves of the branches and the trunk, and then covered with a padded satin stitch.

Honestly, working with viscose was a struggle. Viscose thread is a tricky material to work with — it is very slippery and frays easily, making it hard to lay down smooth stitches over a raised base. However, I chose this exact thread against the deep black background, because it gives a smooth, shimmering surface. I wanted the Tree to look as if it were forged from real mithril, silvered by moonlight, shining in the dark.

The seven stars above the branches of the majestic Tree are made using the woven star technique. The overlapping threads naturally build volume and geometric facets, so no felt padding was needed underneath them. The light catches the facets of the stars, and the viscose shines just like real metal.

The thick grey cardboard used for the matting is like the ancient stone of the walls of Minas Tirith, the White City, protecting the White Tree. The inner bevel is hand-painted with silver Finetec, and a thin silver cord echoes the metallic shine of the embroidery, completing the artwork.

Legolas having a bit of an existential crisis over just how fast mortals, particularly Gimli, age. Time for him to build his boat.

Made for this months art challenge for the @whumplovers-collaborate on discord, the prompt was embrace, leaf, left to die.

[malkaleh]

Inspired by @kenobiwaned tags some Feanor Got Grabbed Fic Circa Hobbit Era (should this get folded into Gold Cages Regular?)

@themalhambird @plotdesigner

“Ara, I still do not see how you can eat that.”

“That, my beloved older brother is because neither of my older brother has taste.”

“Says the brother eating blueberry with almond butter and syrup and caramel cream. Celebrian wouldn’t even eat that after the first thousand years of freedom. You don’t even have an excuse.”

”Naro is right. He spent an age or more of the world in Angband and I went to Mandos and we still have a working palate.”

Finarfin mimes throwing something at both his brothers and says they aren’t allowed to use such tragedies to score points in a debate about food, that’s completely unfair.

“I was Morgoths sex slave for that long and I get some positives out of it - stop impeding my healing journey Ara - anyway we all know I’ve gotten another grandchild to enjoy the correct filling - Estel loves lemon.”

Looking out over Imladris in the evening light and Feanor wondered if he should speak to Thorin Oakenshield and if the would be King Under The Mountain would hear anything from him. But then, Elrond had given as much advice as he might and Olorin, Olorin would steer them as well as any.

[kenobiwaned]

@malkaleh An unserious and noncomprehensive list of fruit/fruit filling preferences of the House of Finwë. I'm including fruits that Tolkien probably never heard of because YOLO.

Finwë: Never actually told his kids his favorite because Fëanor turned everything into a competition. But he definitely has one.

Fëanor: Lemon. Versatile and genuinely enhances the flavor of most foods but is so sour that certain people can't stand it.

Fingolfin: Strawberry. Most people *cough*Fëanor*cough* poke fun at it for being a little basic, but damn if a good strawberry doesn't hit the spot sometimes.

Finarfin: Blueberry. Often mentioned but usually not people's favorite. The people who love it REALLY love it.

Maedhros: Tells his father that it's lemon. Secretly agrees with Aratto Nolo that Stawberry is the best.

Celegorm: Doesn't have a preference because he's the Elven equivalent of a garbage disposal. Seriously, Caranthir once snuck a sardine into his pie and Tyelko didn’t even notice.

Fingon: Raspberries. Just the right blend of sweet and tart. The problem is that they have the shortest shelf life. Kind of like his tenure as High King. XD

Aredhel: Lime. Wayy too tart for most people. Sometimes she won't add sweetener just to watch people whimper as their taste buds are eviscerated.

Gil-Galad: Actually agrees with Fëanor and likes Lemon the best. He likes a little tartness with his sweet.

Celebrimbor: Blackberries. After the crossing, Baby Celebrimbor was missing his Ammë but couldn't exactly voice that to his Atto. Auntie Aredhel dragged him into the forests of Beleriand and took him blackberrying. She told him they were his Ammë's favorite.

Celebrían: Mangos. Purely because they are obscenely sweet. She would never insult her friends from Númenor, but she secretly thinks that Mangos were the ONLY thing she liked about the island. After living in the deserts for so long the sheer level of humidity on the island made her miserable.

Please feel free to add to this list!

[eowyn7023]

Sauron: peeled grapes. All of the Gold Cages crew had to peel them for him. The sight of grapes make most of them nauseous.

Adar: Raspberries. He offered them to Galadriel at their ill-fated dinner in Eregion. She refused to eat anything on the table.

Galadriel: used to be grapes, now it's raspberries. She and Adar have secret raspberry food fights, as a silly re-enactment of their mistakes in Eregion. They should have joined forces against Sauron, and will be forever sorry they didn't. They think that no-one has caught them throwing raspberries at each other (they are wrong). Once Adar built a little trebuchet to bombard Galadriel with raspberries. She stomped on it. That was a step too far.

crushed by the wheel and reshaped by the gear [changed by love] - chapter 16 out now!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

It was hours of tossing and turning later that Elrond heard muttering voices outside the tent—low, urgent Black Speech from the mouths of several Uruks. As he came to, his mind filled with fear and foreboding. He did not hear Adar; and if it was early morning like he guessed, then Adar might very well be far away with Édira, foraging while the sun was out and his children rested.

He refused to be caught off guard like this, lying down; so Elrond sat up, gritting his teeth against the soreness in his side, and brushed his dirty hair away from his face. It had been a long, long time since he’d had the chance to clean himself, and the memory of the hot bath in Pelargir was but a wistful dream. Now the best he could hope for was a bit of water to clean his face.

Adar had left a rough-hewn pitcher and a wooden cup by the bench for him. He knelt down and filled the cup, and drank swiftly. His throat welcomed the lukewarm water, and with another half-filled cup he rinsed his hands and scrubbed his face of sweat and dirt as best as he could manage. He drank more, and realized he had strength enough to stand, if only for a little; so holding the bench, he levered himself into a standing position, and appraised the tent.

in which murderbot is a very normal terracotta soldier and ART the dragon spirit of a chinese junk who dwells in the ship's keel. they meet in the ming dynasty perhaps, when ppl are sailing places extra willy-nilly.

*Nüwa is the mother goddess in chinese mythology, known for creating humanity from yellow clay and repairing the sky.

thank you @mutualrapport for hosting the event! original prompt below.

[drawn for the prompt: an AU of ART and MB's first meeting and conversation - e.g. another look at their first meeting from a fantasy, historical, or (non-canon) sci-fi lens! Any perspective is fine. The only constraint is that it cannot be set in the canon universe. Any visibly non-canon AU- fantasy, human, historical, etc. - anything goes!]

An important tweet

[sighinastorm]

This is such a "common sense" way of putting it. Everybody memorize this for spitting it back out whenever needed.

[skin-slave]

Never thought I'd have the opportunity to say this again: Reducing women and girls to their vaginas and then forcing them to show those vaginas to strangers is not a feminist ideal.

What trying to map out realistic timelines of travel in your lotr fic feels like

I know it takes months of travel but I need them there in a week, how are we gonna make that happen
