Tolkien South Asian Week Day 1 ✧ Love | insp ↳ Everyone in Middle-Earth is Brown [104/?]: Celebrían & Elrond

Galadriel, committed Lórinand to Amroth, and passing again through Moria with Celebrian she came to Imladris, seeking Celeborn. There (it seems) she found him and there they dwelt together for a long time; and it was then that Elrond first saw Celebrian, and loved her though he said nothing of it.

"I did a test at different atmospheric variables and, fun fact, every time I introduced nitrogen, it died. And I know what you're thinking, 'Well, that's terrible because that's a problem 'cause we need it to survive in the conditions of Venus.' Obviously, I had to figure out how to breed a new strain of nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba. And guess what I used? The breeder tanks that we made with your xenonite. And you know what? Now we're just a couple of very cool dudes with their very own strain of nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba."

"Even from that region comes now Egalmoth. He had had charge of the engines on the wall; but long since deeming matters to call rather for handstrokes about the streets than shooting upon the battlements he gathered some of the Arch and of the Swallow about him, and cast away his bow. Then did they fare about the city dealing good blows whenever they fell in with bands of the enemy. Thereby he rescued many bands of captives and gathered no few wandering and driven men, and so got to the King's Square with hard fighting; and men were fain to greet him for they had feared him dead." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Book of Lost Tales Part II, "The Fall of Gondolin"

@gondolinweek » EGALMOTH

[ID: an edit comprised of four posters in shades of off-white and dark brown, with some accents of very pale blue and orange.

1: Thiam M, a senegalese model with dark brown skin and hair. He leans his head on one hand, looking thoughtfully into the distance against a white wall. He is wearing a silver bracelet. White cursive text in the center of the image reads "Egalmoth," with thin sans serif text above it reading "lord of the" in all caps / 2: A rainbow amid clouds, framed on the top and left side by white lines. Sans serif text in the upper left corner reads "But they of the Heavenly Arch being a folk of uncounted wealth were arrayed in a glory of colours, and their arms were set with jewels that flamed in the light now over the sky." The phrase "uncounted wealth" is in cursive / 3: Colorful gas clouds in space, with stars shining through. Same format as Image 2, but with reversed orientation. Text reads "Egalmoth was their chieftain, and wore a blue mantle upon which the stars were broidered in crystal, and his sword was bent," with "chieftain" in cursive / 4: A close-up of a dark-skinned person's face. A cluster of shiny gold stars are stuck beneath their eye. Same text as Image 1, except that the sans serif text is on the bottom and reads "heavenly arch." //End ID]

One year ago today I posted this practically shot Iron Giant photo I created using real figures, lighting, miniature sets & my trusty old tin foil for water technique & cotton wool for the splashes.
