Hey, remember when Celebrimbor crafted the Three Rings that saved his people and restored the great tree of Lindon to its former glory, and even Círdan the wise admitted that, "Perfection does not only exist in Valinor [...] Celebrimbor has brought it to Middle-earth." Love that for him. 🍃🥰

I do and always will 🥰🍃

And love that him wholeheartedly 🥰🍃

Hello! Could I possibly request a smol Celebrimbor and Narvi?

Day #104 - Excitement

OUCH I'm so sorry this took so long to properly answer! Here's Brimbor and Narvi in the block game to compensate, hope that's ok 😅

For the Silm asks: 6 (👀), 13, 20, please!

6. Best m/f ship?

You already know the answer to this one, but I feel like I'm cheating if I say Andreth/Aegnor, since they aren't even on the published silm, and THAT'S A TRAVESTY. I have so many thoughts and feelings on this pairing that it would require its own post (or blog lmao).

If we don't count them I'm not very emotionally invested in the canon ships of the Silmarillion, to be quite honest. I do like the interracial pairings though: Beren/Lúthien, Idril/Tuor. I am also quite intrigued by the dynamics of Finarfin/Eärwen.

A non canon m/f ship I quite enjoy is Elendil/Tar-Míriel, both as one-sided when they were young, or in an AU where Míriel survives. I also enjoy the dramatics of Tar-Míriel/Sauron, as in both pretend to like each other to further their political goals, but in truth absolutely detest each other.

13. Where in Middle-Earth would you most like to live?

Is it cheating if I say Númenor? Since it's not technically Middle Earth but... it is supposed to be paradise, a variety of climates and ecosystems, always near the sea, and at least until they started getting weird with the human sacrifices, a peaceful and prosperous place to live. Early Númenor would be my first choice.

The second option would obviously be the Shire, for similar reasons: peaceful and prosperous, apparently quite nice weather. Points deducted for being far from the sea.

Other places I'm curious about and would visit, but probably not live: Gondor (too close to Mordor), Arnor (while it existed), Lindon (Gil-Galad seemed like a pretty chill guy who would allow other races into his realm), Laketown (the Venice of Middle Earth!), Gondolin (if it were possible to get an exit visa lmao), and Nargothrond (what? I'm curious).

20. Funniest moment in the Silm?

It has to be the moment Beren tells Thingol he has a Silmaril in his hand, but it just happens that his hand is not here. Gotta love Beren, what a legend.

first lines meme

i was tagged by the wonderful @verecunda (thank you xx) to share the first lines from the last ten fics i’ve posted

some of these are more than one sentence, so i kinda cheated but oh well AND i’ve also included some works in progress bc i haven’t posted many fics in a long time and i didn’t want to scoot too far back for my ten :)

trading in sadness (luther, alice morgan/mark north, M)

Her gesture is crude, her meaning cruel, but her eyes are sad.

ash and fruit (jsamn, childermass/lascelles, T)

Henry Lascelles was now quite convinced that he had heard it all.

creature of daylight (dracula, dracula/jonathan harker, T)

Folk stories spoke of men who were scripted in light.

the second dream (dracula, dracula/jonathan harker, T)

The first time is always horribly messy. Nothing beautiful at all about it; that’s the way it is. A shame, really, for his blue-eyed Johnny could really be so beautiful, at times.

to poison a queen (richard iii, richard/anne, T)

He had ordered the murders of men; that task was easy for him.

untitled wip (middlemarch)

The worst of it, of all of it, was that he knew very relatively quickly, with all certainty, that he was to die. Ignorance was a luxury afforded to those without knowledge, and Tertius Lydgate could not be so lucky.

untitled wip (jsamn)

It began, as most journeys do, with a letter.

untitled wip (hornblower)

He read four pages before realising he hadn’t read a word.

untitled wip (luther)

“You seem well.”

untitled wip (our mutual friend)

It is night. There is a blueish haze in the air. The hollow beating of the Thames can be heard against the shore.

i don’t know who to tag bc i don’t know who writes - but if you do and you see this then go ahead and tag me :)

[ageofsailsuggestions]

Never mind the manoeuvres, go straight at ‘em!
