“Oh Elrond, you and I have lived long enough to know that ordinary people arrive at extraordinary cruelty by forgetting the past in perfectly reasonable increments as they plan for the future. I fear that the descendants of two children found sobbing beneath a bed amidst the ruins of their birthplace may one day come to lay waste to the cradles of another’s civilisation.”

THE AMBUSH OF A NEW PAST: In Fourth Age Gondor, King Elessar is set to unite the ‘swarthy men’ of the Harad city-states under the banner of the White Tree, whilst Arwen struggles with her father’s legacy and her own mortality. But as the date for the surrender and subsequent transfer of power draws nearer, a Haradrim campaign of resistance and subterfuge ramps up in Minas Tirith, and with Maglor Fëanorian’s unexpected appearance in the city, the descendants of Elrond and Elros Peredhel find they can no longer ignore the reopening wounds of First Age Beleriand.

A story of Harad and the West, from the Union of Maedhros to the King’s Peace of Gondor.

“Elsewhere was not a single face monolingual in its grief. Harad and Rhûn and Khand share a designation on the map, a single, dismissive flick of the wrist, and perhaps the experience of being named by another, and this was a commonality, though it was a commonality of the healing-house ward rather than of the family, the commonality of scattered seeds flung far from the forest blaze, the commonality of a tidal wave pushing too many bodies aside.”

This I drew thinking about @erendur who still uses my old grumpy Feanor as profile pic who looked great in Rosa and poofy sleeves. Thanks for loving him for so long my dear <3

So I drew a new one. ✨️

I gave him frills and lace plus lots of bold big patterns.

The White Lady

“Very fair was her face, and her long hair was like a river of gold. Slender and tall she was in her white robe girt with silver; but strong she seemed and stern as steel, a daughter of kings.”

— J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

Bird #80 - Arctic tern (LC) Requested by @theviridianbeyond

Arctic terns are famous for the longest migration in animals, flying all the way from the Arctic circle to Antarctica and back. Since they don't fly in a straight path, the distance some of them fly every year is more than 2x the circumference of the globe!

Prints (YES I have an INPRNT store now!!! Feel free to request birds to go on there)

Alternate colour versions under the cut :0

Kinda sad I can only pick one, I really liked the beige...

a talking point i often see when defending the consumption of dark content is that it’s a coping mechanism for those with trauma which is very valid and true but i also want to make this abundantly clear: you can like dark content for no reason. you can enjoy fucked up shit in fiction because it’s enjoyable and entertaining. trauma is not required as a ticket for entry. enjoy your dark content bc it’s fun and sexy and don’t let anyone take that away from you
