the other elves welcoming Legolas in Valinor

[gamergirl-lumine]

Frodo: *speaks Elvish*

Legolas: The heck was that?

Aragorn: He said good morning.

Legolas: He did?

Frodo: I thought you would… understand that?

Legolas: I’ve never heard someone speak like that before…it was strange, and stilted, and you used full words the whole time.

Aragorn: Elves may sound fancy to us, Frodo, but they speak slang, and almost exclusively in metaphors.

Frodo: Oh.

Legolas: Aragorn has described it as ‘a monstrosity of a language’.

Gimli: Dwarves have a better language.

Legolas: You do.

Gimli: Ha! You admit- wait, you admit it?

Legolas: Elves curse by using the names of trees. Tree names! You have actually cusses. Do you know what I would give to cuss, just once in my life, Gimli? Do you know what I would give to tell someone to f- f- f- I can’t even say it.

Gimli: You can’t say fuck?

Legolas: …I have an idea.

-

Legolas: The-

Gimli: Fuck.

Legolas: -are you talking about?

Boromir: Why did we let the dwarf start swearing for the elf?

Aragorn: Because I can’t wait to see Thranduil’s face when he finds out.

Rían & Huor and their “eyes of death”

some rambling about them below the cut

I think a lot about Rían and Huor and how briefly and brightly their lives burnt after the Sudden Flame caught—Rían who fled her home at 5 and Huor who was a soldier by 13. They both intimately knew both miracles and tragedies from a very early age. And they’re both foresighted at points of their story; did some part of them expect their lives would be short? Rían who loved ephemeral flowers, Huor the sprinter—with a name meaning impetuous, fiery spirit to boot—standing beside Morwen and Húrin, the firm and enduring. But they were also Rían maker of songs that endured, and Huor who held the rearguard—steadfast and stubbornly kind.

They were married for only 2 months before the Nirnaeth, and in some versions their time together was briefer still. They were around 22 and 28 years old, respectively, when they died; and the Bragollach and its aftermath had informed so many of those years. Perhaps they always felt some pull towards the earth, or a wick burning low; they certainly knew fear and pain quite well. But it never made them cruel or craven, and it didn’t stop them from making sacrifices that rippled all the way through to the fourth age.

Anyway, they are very special to me!

Very cropped sneak peek of a full-body commission I’m working on right now… can you guess which Silmarillion elf this is?

(if you can’t tell, I got permission to go Full DILF for this one…)

oops i disappeared for 2 weeks. here’s an upsetting samfro edit #happypride

Firstly I love your art and you are one of my all time favourite Tolkien artists. Secondly, a crumb of Elros if you’re still doing requests? 🥹🙏🏽

Your Elros is finally finished ✨✨✨ young king Elros was probably a hot mess, he had to be with descendants like his. The design is half though out and pretty much just the first idea I went with. I like royal purples for him using a lot of influence from Byzantine/ancient Egypt and Rome.

Couldn’t find it so I made another because you’re right that it’s a crime and it’s definitely my duty to remedy it

The board is set, the pieces are moving. We come to it at last... The great battle of our time.

some messy celebrimbor sketches (ft. flower crowns with baby celebrían)

[hacash]

Much is made in LOTR of the Tooks being absolute madlads, but I would like to point out that the maddest lad of them all, arguably, was Big Bandobras 'Grow Taller Than Everyone Else & Beat The Shit Out Of Some Goblins And Invent The Game Of Golf Simultaneously' 'Bullroarer' Took: who took off to Long Cleeve and became the forefather of the North-Took branch. Given their illustrious ancestor, it's not an unfair assumption that however ridiculous the rest of the Shire find the Tooks, the Tooks themselves consider the North-Tooks to be the irresponsible madlads of the clan. I would also like to point out that Pippin's eventual wife, Diamond, comes from the North-Took offshoot.

I therefore present to you this possibility: a marriage in which Pippin is the sensible and restrained one.

writing tip #4031:

readers LOVE it when you shoehorn extra events into a character's backstory in the sequels. ESPECIALLY if it contradicts everything they already know. TRUST ME
