Not me trying to redo all the LOTR elf lore to make it so Elro.nd and Galadr.iel can be a thing
It's hobbit day! Like or reply for a starter from my Halflings and Harfoots!
It's hobbit day! Like or reply for a starter from my Halflings and Harfoots!
The campfire popped and crackled, embers and smoke swirling into the vastness of midnight.
A hushed, dulcet baritone accompanied the symphony of crickets and the wind whispering through the trees.
“Et Eärello
Endorenna utúlien
Sinomë maruvan
Ar Hildinyar
Tenn' Ambar-metta...”
Noticing @vicit-vim-virtus stirring, Nenya still in his grasp, the stranger by the Elvish garrison’s fireside raised a hand to remove his hood. Striking yet somehow familiar features, framed by dark curls, were illuminated by ethereal moonlight. The Ranger studied Elrond’s features with keen, yet tender, blue-grey eyes.
“Would that you were ever so,” the Man murmured, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Rest. Morning and its troubles will come soon enough.”

CELEBRIMBOR HE’S PLAYING YOU LIKE A FIDDLE
Release the Harfoot Cut.
The more despair I endure in life, the more I love Frodo. I'm just. I'm so glad that Tolkien wrote him like that. He was a hero and it broke him. He was given too much to carry. The circumstances were dire, everyone was doing the best they could, and Frodo tried so hard, for such a good cause, and he...broke. And the narrative has pity for him, the characters show him kindness. Even after victory, his hurts did not heal, and it isn't considered his fault. He must go to the undying lands, to seek out peace there. In universe, he is forgiven for being human - don't be pedantic - and his great torment is recognized. He fell. He could not have done it alone. He is still a hero.
And, I think that's important.

MODERN AU IDEAS.
For anybody who would like to write with everyone here, but doesn't want to have a high fantasy verse!
IDEA ONE.
Frodo (who would probably have to be renamed... Finn, maybe?) is the nephew and adopted son of eccentric antique shop and cafe owner, Bilbo (...um... Benjamin? Bob? If I do this I'm gonna have to do a poll for these names help), whose most prized heirloom is an old gold ring. However, one day, Bilbo vanishes, leaving the ring and other mysterious artifacts in his stead, and Frodo discovers, with the help of family friend Gandalf (who is absolutely a wizard and would also have to be renamed) that all is not as it seems, and that the shop holds the key to a doorway into the magical land of Middle-Earth.
TL;DR: all the hobbits are modern humans, Gandalf is an urban fantasy / magical realism-esque wizard; Aragorn, Legolas, Faramir, and Éowyn, as well as the rest of the characters, exist in the realm of Middle-Earth.
IDEA TWO.
A more straightforward (and admittedly not very well thought out) au where all the characters exist in the modern day. It could be a magical realism / urban fantasy verse where Elves and wizards exist, or it could be a verse where everyone is human and the war of the Ring and the return of the King have some other significance. This would definitely need some fleshing out and plotting, but I'd be more than happy to do something like it!
ROTK REWRITTEN.
TL;DR: I may or may not have changed the Shelob scene, rewritten the Mount Doom scene, and changed the whole Grey Havens thing as wish fulfillment and out of spite in order to make more sense with my own headcanons / characterization, particularly of Frodo.
CWS FOR: manipulation, spider mention, blood mention, injury, broken bones, death, and suicidal ideation. Please stay safe!
CONCERNING HOBBITS.
TL;DR: I’ve done a whole bunch of math and simplified things so that all of you don’t have to and so that I don’t tear my hair out trying to figure things out!
CW FOR: drowning, parental death. Please stay safe!
"The wilds are not kind. They take what they will.”
The soft intonation precedes the sound of footfall and the approach of a hooded figure. A hand reaches up, tugging the hood back and revealing a gentle face in the moonlight, grey-green eyes studying @winterheiress intently.
“At this hour, two are safer than one,” he continues after a long moment. “If you wish it, I would be glad to accompany you and see you safely to your destination.”
“Never have I seen an Elf such as you.”
The voice comes from seemingly nowhere, and keen brown eyes peer out between tree trunks and thicket. His bow is held in his hand, but not yet does he reach an arm back to his quiver, and his footsteps in the plush moss are silent, tentative as he moves his way through the forest, closer to @vulcnlogic . Long, golden hair is tucked behind pointed ears, and head tilts as he studies the brunet in front of him.
“Never have I seen any being such as you,” he continues. “Tell me, how came you here? What is your business in these woods? I passed no horses, no convoy.”
