The Disposessed

Hey there! I'm Ryan! I write fanfic and fangirl over elves. Most of the stuff on this blog will be Tolkien related, along with a little bit of whatever else happens to catch my fancy at the time :)

A few years ago, I posted a headcanon of mine about Curufin being the kind of guy who would (purposely) make puns that he’s the only one to understand. 

But now I’am thinking of this one time, when he made a pun which he expected to be followed by a long, embarrassing silence, but quite unexpectedly, he heard a clear laughter behind him: It was Celebrimbor, who then gave his father a knowing look.

Afterward, Curvo was careful to always make his puns when his son was around.

Curufin lookin’ crafty.

The Crown of Nargothrond by Elena Kukanova

(Found them on Vk)

Finrod, King of Nargothrond.

I did this one with even less care and than usual… *tries very hard not to mentally list all the things wrong with this drawing*

I’ve always thought that Nargothrond’s architecture would be more traditionally Dwarvish than Elvish, with lots of geometric patterns and such. It would be some sort of combination between Menegroth and the Dwarven cities of the first age, architecture-wise. Which is why I drew Finrod’s throne as I did.

‘Bell,’ he said, 'do not wear black. Do not be a widow. Be happy. That is how I wish to think of you.’ 'I promise. And how shall I think of you?’ He considered a moment and then laughed. 'Think of me with my nose in a book!’ They kissed once. Then he turned upon his heel and disappeared into the Darkness.

“Even the Raven King - who was not a fairy, but an Englishman - had a somewhat regrettable habit of abducting men and women and taking them to live with him in his castle in the Other Lands.”

The Raven King, with bird and book. Illustration by Soni Alcorn-Hender. Inspired by the character John Uskglass from the book Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke.

Prints and pillows and pretty things here.

No, I’m not proud of you. You got the guy who successfully kept us all from murdering one another locked in a dungeon on Werewolf Demon Island, you almost started a civil war, and my favorite nephew is now calling me ‘Imperialist Bastard’ in all of his letters home.

“..and he fell into an enchantment; for L ú t h i e n was the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar. Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her eyes were grey as the starlit evening; her mantle was sewn with golden flowers, but her hair was dark as the shadows of twilight. As the light upon the leaves of trees, as the voice of clear waters, as the stars above the mists of the world, such was her glory and her loveliness; and in her face was a shining light.”

Friend: Who’s that character you really like from that Tolkien book? Me: Which one? Friend: He’s an elf… Me: And? Friend: Apparently he’s really attractive… Me: And? Friend: He’s dead… Me: Friend: Me: Friend: Me: Could you Me: be more specific

Even statues like to curl up with a good book every now and then.
