No really, this fandom is wonderful because

One moment you're reading the Silmarillion by the fire with a cup of tea, and next thing you know you're using terms like Crablor and crispy Amrod and kidnap fam and Comrade Maedhros unironically, much to the concern of your relatives. Time passes and it gets worse. Angbang brainrot makes you write an essay on Melkor being a secret sub. You casually start referring to Finrod v. Sauron as a princess rap battle. You write a second essay, and if you're really far gone it might even be a Fëanor apology. You ship every Finwëan under Laurelin with every Finwëan under Laurelin. You hiss Nerdanel was a little freak too at scared passers-by. You mutter justice for Eluréd and Elurín over breakfast. Your friends pat you on the head and sigh. You curse them in flawless Quenya.

Crablor is done! Hooray! 🥳🦀

I hope you people like it, because my tendonitis didn't...

I think it took around 20 hours, i never spent so much time on a drawing!

I’ve created a monstrosity in the name of making a cursed Tolkien presentation about Crablor what have I done

Crablor purse is done! 🦀 🎉

Very very happy with how he turned out (the zipper was much easier to put in than I feared!) I even gave him a little Silmaril charm and a tiny 8-pointed star for the zipper.

For my contribution to @crablorday, I present to you my Magnum Opus:

"Crablor at the Council of Elrond"

✨️🦀✨️🦀✨️🦀✨️

This is my first animation longer than a few seconds. It was very much a learning-by-doing experience.

I worked very hard on this, and even if it's far from perfect, I'm very, very proud of myself.

FAQ:

Why is Crablor not scuttling sideways?

Because the animation was too complicated

Because he used to be an elf and is used to walking forward.

Hide your treasure in the deeps of the sea

(for @crablorday, and an additional homage to my favorite artist @littlestpersimmon, adept of ocean motifs and beautiful patterns, whose special day it is too, and who brings me inspiration no matter the date. happiest of birthdays, Caleb! 🪸🐠🦀)

Elrond arrives in Valinor.

He is expected to join at least one of the courts (man is descended from everyone of importance)

He’s spent the majority of his life in political situations where everyone just wants to survive

He sees the glamour and manipulation in the high courts

Man nopes the fuck out and retires with his wife, sons and suspiciously intelligent crab.
