"But to Elros, who chose to be a king of Men, still a great span of years was allotted, many times that of the Men of Middle-earth; and all his line, the kings and lords of the royal house, had long life even according to the measure of the Númenóreans. But Elros lived five hundred years, and ruled the Númenóreans four hundred years and ten." — The Silmarillion, "Akallabêth: The Downfall of Númenor"

Annatar, allowing himself to be captured by Ar-Pharazôn: [in a Lucy Darling voice] Oh noooo, I've been overpowered by the big, strong men of Númenor, please don't drag me off in chains to your impenetrable kingdom across the sea and allow me to sway you with the honey-sweet flattery of my tongue to influence your politics and shape the future of Middle Earth for centuries to come 🫦🥺

Anyway, here is my reverse mermay oarfish Annatar, thank you to @peasant-player for the inspiration, this idea struck me like a bolt of lightning. He's an oarfish because, you know, oarfish and tsunamis....yeah. yeahhh.

"She had a profound dislike of obligatory marriage, and in marriage of any constraint on her will." - J.R.R. Tolkien, Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, "Aldarion and Erendis" "Ancalimë, like her father, was resolute in pursuing her policies; and like him she was obstinate, taking the opposite course to any that was counselled. She had something of her mother's coldness and sense of personal injury; and deep in her heart, almost but not quite forgotten, was the firmness with which Aldarion had unclasped her hand and set her down when he was in haste to be gone. She loved dearly the downlands of her home, and never (as she said) in her life could she sleep at peace far from the sound of sheep. But she did not refuse the Heirship, and determined that when her day came she would be a powerful Ruling Queen; and when so, to live where and how she pleased." - J.R.R. Tolkien, Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, "Aldarion and Erendis"

@aspecardaweek day 7 ♠︎ TAR-ANCALIMË

[ID: an edit comprised of six posters arranged in three rows. They are mainly in hues of warm green and brown. At the bottom of each image, white text reads "Tar-Ancalimë" in all caps, and beneath it, in a smaller cursive font, "the shepherdess queen." Top to bottom, left to right, the images show:

1: Sheep grazing on the side of a gently sloping hill, with more hills visible around them / 2: A walkway beneath a columned arbor grown over with vines / 3: A person walking away from the viewer in landscape of rolling fields. They wear an embroidered white shirt and similarly embroidered black pants, tucked into high boots / 4: Malika El-Maslouhi, an italian-moroccan model with light brown skin and wavy, dark brown hair. She lies on a white blanket, one arm beneath her head. Her head is tilted towards the viewer, though she looks past them, and her shirt is richly patterned in red, green, and white / 5: A person out of frame sets a crown on the head of another figure, stood in silhouette before a window / 6: High carved columns holding up a similarly carved and inlaid ceiling. The style is that of ancient egypt //End ID]
