hello everyone, i have written a fic. as you might have surmised from the last bout of posting, it features nonconsensual cannibalism kink, or perhaps vore, but most likely schrodingers or perhaps ship of theseus cannibalism (is an elf still an elf if he's a crab: important questions, not answered by wise scholars). it also includes a very broad hansel & gretel retelling and one (1) rewrite of an alice in wonderland rewrite of victorian moral poetry. also, maglor at his most annoying is there and elrond, at slightly less annoying. enjoy!!!!

Just in case you thought I was kidding - here’s the heraldry for the Mordor Special Mission Flying Corps, drawn by Tolkien himself.

“It apparently was a badge that applied to Sauron’s air-borne troops, probably including the later incarnations of the Nazgûl and, perhaps, any remaining dragons under Sauron’s command. The “wings” at the side of the emblem are given a feather-like texture, which might indicate that they were originally real wings. A mystifying scribble, saying “Seen from below”, actually hints that the emblem portrays one of Sauron’s flying creatures, and the small “horns” indicated between the wings and the body of the creature could then be the feet of someone riding the beast. But it is clear that if so, the portrait must be extremely stylized. On the wings can be seen the image of Sauron’s eye, multiplied like the eyes on peacock’s wings.” [x]

This is so undeniably cool.  All I can imagine now is this Nazgul Flying Corps in WW2 outfit.

the source for this is j.r.r. tolkien: artist and illustrator by wayne g. hammond and christina scull btw. they also have a bit more commentary on it:

‘Another doodle related to his fiction [185], from August 1967, may have begun as a stylized flower drawn in the previous month. But its resemblance to an aviator’s badge suggested another meaning to Tolkien, at once sinister and amusing, within the context of his stories: the ‘Mordor Special Mission Flying Corps Emblem’. The MSMFC - Tolkien wrote the initials on the sheet both in ordinary capitals and in tengwar — are undoubtedly the Nazgûl, Sauron’s most powerful and terrible servants in The Lord of the Rings. Towards the end of the War of the Ring they were mounted on giant winged creatures of a fantastic kind. The caption at the centre of the sheet, ‘seen from below’, suggests that the drawing represents an actual view from the ground of one of the winged beasts — though it is more likely that Tolkien was just being playful. At lower right is the Eye of Sauron, much as it appeared on the dust-jackets of The Lord of the Rings [177]. It is labelled ‘Sauron’ twice, in tengwar (below) and in the New English Alphabet, another lettering system Tolkien devised.’

although i like sauron’s mutilation better as a parallel to frodo’s because that second time he is basically doing it to himself (sorry gollum, you matter, but it is what it is).

[nyenyerle]

like okay obviously maedhros is here, the moment of his mutilation and suicide overlapping completely. it’s like his remaining left hand is actually the right hand of his gollumself
