moving accounts

hi!! after much consideration i decided i'm officially moving on from here and starting over at @glorfindels from scratch as a multifandom account. i'll still be posting tons of tolkien content since it will always be my main fandom along with star wars and i'll continue creating content for it, and other than that same me, same url, same tag i'm tracking etc you're just going to have to put up with all of my other interests as well :]

i'm only going to tag a couple of mutuals but signal boosts are very appreciated from anyone and thanks so much for this past year or so on here hopefully see you all on the other side!! 💖💕

Tolkien Gen Week: July 5-11, 2021

Hello and welcome to Tolkien Gen Week!

This is a week to appreciate all of the incredible characters and relationships within Tolkien’s legendarium that fall under the broad category of “gen”. Gen content is often less visible because of the shipping-focused nature of fandom, but Tolkien’s works are full of other kinds of stories, and this week is an effort to give them the appreciation they deserve.

The first Tolkien Gen Week ran from January 14-20, 2018 and was rebooted in 2020 in the week of July 6-12. We are back again for a third time from July 5-11, 2021!

Any content and creations are welcome as long as it is non-romantic and non-sexual! You can create edits, gifs, fanart, fanfic, fanmixes, and more! Please tag your posts with #tolkiengenweek AND @ mention this blog @tolkiengenweek so they can be easily found. If your submission turns into a long post, please put what you can beneath a “Keep reading” divider.

Below are some prompts for each day of the week. They are not mandatory, but they are here to inspire you. This page will lead to an explanation for each one.

DAY ONE: Family DAY TWO: Friendship DAY THREE: Gray Spaces DAY FOUR: Solo DAY FIVE: Culture DAY SIX: Environment DAY SEVEN: Freefrom

This event is being organized by @arofili. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to message this blog or my main.

For further clarification, check out our about, FAQ, code of conduct, and prompts pages! Happy creating!!

Mobile links are accessible here.

The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with weary feet, Until it joins some larger way, Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.

I’m sorry that you must have to carry this burden.
