What is your blorbo's...

1. Favourite season?

Spring.

2. Favourite food?

Rice pudding.

3. Favourite plant or herb?

Snowdrops, Forget-me-nots.

4. Favourite person/being?

Endimion's parents. The fact that they are deceased might be a factor.

5. Favourite place?

Home.

6. Favourite animal?

Endimion likes cute and cuddly animals. If he absolutely had to pick on type, then cats.

7. Favourite drink?

Rose petal tea.

8. Favourite hobby/activity?

Dancing. Although Endimion has many artistic skills, such as singing, playing various instruments, drawing and painting, woodworking, pottery etc., out of everything he enjoys dancing the most.

9. Do they like to read? If so, favourite genre?

Since youth Endimion has not had many chances to read at all. Now that he is free, if he can find books, his preferences varry from geography and cultural studies, to manuals regarding farm activities, myths and legends, and adventure romance novels. He is known to cry while reading especially romantic scenes, and those are the books he would revisit the most often.

10. Do they like to dance?

Extremely. Dancing is not just a way to relax and express his emotions in private, but also his favourite way to connect with people in a group setting.

11. What is their favourite room in the house?

If Endimion ever lives in a house with more than one rooms, then probably the living room. That is the room that bears the most signs of the resident's personality and interests, the most decorated, and the most suitable for just about any other activity.

12. Favourite place to travel to?

Endimion has not returned to the same place twice. But he wouldn't mind revisiting the lands to the East again.

13. Who is their best friend?

The Moon.

14. Favourite bioregion?

Forests. He was born in a forest, and forests will always feel like home to him, no matter what dangers lurk within.

15. Choose one for them: wine, beer, cider, hard liquor, or none.

None, or hot water.

roots: Is your OC's look inspired by any specific style of clothing or fashion trend? What are the roots and/or inspiration for their look?

The Lady Rivorneth Rosdiriel was originally inspired by those breathless fashion influencers of mid-2010's YouTube, though more so in vibe than anything else. I often imagine her as a living pre-Raphaelite painting, particularly in her younger, greener days.

Hello everyone!

This year we are back with Tolkien Family Week, an event dedicated to showing appreciation for familiar relationships in Tolkien's work - be it The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion or beyond.

Below is a list of non-mandatory prompts to take some inspiration from:

Day One Parent-child relationship - From Lúthien and Dior to Samwise and Elanor, on this day we encourage you to explore the relationships between mothers and fathers and sons and daughters!

Day Two Siblings - Tolkien presents us with many pairs of siblings throughout all the ages of Arda. This day is devoted to relationships between brothers and sisters, such as Fili and Kili or Galadriel and Finrod.

Day three Extended Family - Cousins, uncles, nieces, grandparents. Family trees goes beyond the traditional household members. Finwë with his numerous grandchildren, Théoden with Éomer and Éowyn - this day is dedicated to them.

Day Four Cut Ties - Families can break apart. Disagreements, rivalries, separation, death - their presence is a never-leaving shadow in Arda. One only has to look at the likes of Fëanor and Fingolfin.

Day Five Found Family - Families can break apart, yes, but at other times, they can also be in found in unlikely places. From kidnap fam to adopted distant cousins, this day is for exploring them.

Day Six Ancestors and their Legacy - Every family has its roots somewhere. On this day we look back to where the great families in Tolkien's works came from and what those ancestors left behind for their descendants.

Day Seven Freeform - Did we forget about something or is there a prompt you want to revisit? Feel free to use this day for any family related content!

The week will run during the last seven days of November 2023 - 20th to 26th - and will be hosted by @tilions and @armenelols. We will operate in a mixture of queued posts and direct reblogs.

Some minor clarifications:

Please tag @tolkienfamilyweek and put #tolkienfamilyweek in the first five tags of your post so that we can find it

Feel free to send us an ask should your post not be reblogged

OCs are welcome

All kind of content is appreciated - edits, art, writing, headcanons, analysis, let your imagination run wild

The ask box is open for any remaining questions!

We are looking forward to your creations!

bling: What jewelry does your OC wear? Does it have any meaning?

Erestor wears a lot of jewelry on different occasions.

He likes to wear circlets bc they make him feel pretty, and he wears bangles and things for festivals bc he likes the clinking sound they make, and sometimes he wears little bells in his hair or earrings for the same reason.

He would like to wear necklaces, but the scar around his neck is the one that bothers him the most, and it is often tender rather quickly, especially as the back of the neck (this is why he often wears things with large necklines), so wearing a necklace for a long period of time is irritating and painful for him. Rings he wears all the time, and he has a special one that he wears every day that belonged to his grandfather.

[melpomaen]

Follow up question: Does he give Figwit any jewelry at different points?

[oracleofimladris]

He would probably give him that ring before sailing west, right after finally telling him that the reason he kept it close and clean and preciously for so long is that inside it was a strand of hair from each of his family members, dating all the way back to his grandparents.

🎨 If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

Honestly, my favourite thing about Glorestor is just how absolutely in love with each other they are, so anything that shows how much they love and long for each other constantly is my fave. With regards to my works in particular, I think I would love to see the moment Glorfindel sees Erestor for the first time in Rivendell, because he doesn't necessarily know it's him just yet, but he does? And I think that moment really shows all the things I previously mentioned.

[oracleofimladris]

👻 What is your wildest headcanon?

That twins share one soul in two bodies, and that they are not considered fully individual beings.

💍 RING — does your oc have any piercings? do they want any (more) piercings?

🖊️ BALLPOINT PEN — does your oc have any tattoos? do they want any (more) tattoos?

💍 RING — does your oc have any piercings? do they want any (more) piercings?

As far as anyone knows, he has his ears pierced. He may have others that most people aren't privy to.

🖊️ BALLPOINT PEN — does your oc have any tattoos? do they want any (more) tattoos?

Until the third age, I don't think he would have any - the scars on his wrists and neck would still be too fresh for him. Later, I'm not sure.
