@tolkienlatamandcaribbeanweek day two | first age | fingolfin
Now rumour came to the camp in Hithlum of the march of Fingolfin and those that followed him, who had crossed the Grinding Ice; and all the world lay then in wonder at the coming of the Moon. But as the host of Fingolfin marched into Mithrim the Sun rose flaming in the West; and Fingolfin unfurled his blue and silver banners, and blew his horns, and flowers sprang beneath his marching feet, and the ages of the stars were ended. At the uprising of the great light the servants of Morgoth fled into Angband, and Fingolfin passed unopposed through the fastness of Dor Daedeloth while his foes hid beneath the earth. Then the Elves smote upon the gates of Angband, and the challenge of their trumpets shook the towers of Thangorodrim; and Maedhros heard them amid his torment and cried aloud, but his voice was lost in the echoes of the stone.
“Then Yavanna was glad, and she stood up, reaching her arms towards the heavens, and she said: ‘High shall climb the trees of Kementári, that the Eagles of the King may house therein!’”
A boricua!Yavanna for @tolkienlatamandcaribbeanweek :)
Welcoming all Tolkien fans to a brand new fandom event, Tolkien Women’s Week, which will run from January 8th-14th, 2026.
This is a week where we can celebrate all of the wonderful women from Tolkien’s legendarium by creating dedicated original pieces for them.
Rules and event information below, please take a read if you are interested in participating :)
Rules:
Each day will have four prompts (as listed in the graphic above and below), and you may choose any of them to create a work of fiction/art/headcanon list/blurb/collage/etc. with any woman of your choice from JRRT's legendarium.
Tag your works with the hashtag #tolkienwomensweek
NSFW is allowed, it is only asked that you tag it accordingly.
Support other participants! No hate or discouragement on any pieces.
Spread the word :) The more, the merrier.
Please tag this account in your pieces as well! This is not mandatory, but it ensures we do not miss it.
Please give your pieces a title, as there will be a completed masterlist once the event is over, and each piece will be alphabetized. Again, this is not mandatory, but if your work is not titled, it will be given a simple name on the masterlist. (ex: Day Two, Artwork by @ ___ )
You have roughly six months to start and finish your pieces (from the time of this announcement), but late submissions are also welcome. However, no early submissions please. Post your pieces on the designated days unless you have late work/fall behind.
We recommend you follow this blog to stay updated on the event. If not, make sure to check the hashtag “#tww update” for posts from moderators about any new rules/changes/answers/updates.
*No work created by the assistance of generative A.I. will be reblogged on the official Tolkien Women's Week blog, and it will not be supported by the event runners. If work utilizing A.I. is posted in the AO3 collection for the event, it will be removed by the moderators.*
Prompts:
Day 1: Love / Family / Lineage / Companionship
Day 2: Betrayal / Curse / Spells / Enchant
Day 3: Valinor / Journey / Death / Creation
Day 4: Song / Language / Culture / Tradition
Day 5: Fight / Sacrifice / Protest / Battle
Day 6: Heartbreak / Longing / Determination / Reunite
Day 7: Stars / Dream / Prophecy / Visions
Questions? If not answered below, please send an ask:
Can you create a piece for the same woman more than once?
Yes! Do not feel like you have to create a piece for someone different each day, especially if you have ideas for the same woman over multiple days/prompts.
Also, if you wish to create a single piece utilizing more than one character, you are very welcome to do so!
If I can only participate for a few days/one day, is that alright?
Yes! Participate as much or as little as you want. If you’re very inspired, feel free to submit multiple pieces on the same day. If a prompt doesn’t inspire you, don’t waste time on it!
Will there be an AO3 collection for the event?
Yes! Coming closer to the event, keep your eyes peeled . . .
Exactly what Tolkien women are allowed in the event?
All of them! Any character from LOTR, The Silmarillion, etc. We welcome women of all the races of Middle-Earth (human, elf, dwarf, hobbit, ainur, ent, orc, animal; quite literally any of Tolkien’s female characters) regardless of how much or how little screentime/pagetime they have. You want to create 10 works for Arwen? Go for it! You want to create 10 works for someone who was mentioned in one lone sentence in a single book who had no dialogue? Do it!!
We politely ask that OCs remain separate from this event, not because they are not valid, but because this event was created to celebrate the women created and written by Tolkien himself. However, if an OC is created for a Tolkien character we know exists in canon but was not written about, feel free to give her a voice (example may be the wife of Thranduil/mother of Legolas; we know she exists in the canon lore but we are given almost zero information about her).
With this reasoning in mind, we also ask that characters from ROP who are not canon to the world of Tolkien be excluded from this event, but if you would like to utilize the way a canonical JRRT character is depicted in ROP (example may be young Galadriel), you are more than welcome to do so. Though we do love the ladies of ROP, we want this event to be central to Tolkien and his own works! :)
If, however, you feel very very strongly for the women in ROP or other works not created by Tolkien himself (ex, Tauriel from The Hobbit movies), we will not stop you, and will still reblog your piece to the official event blog. At its core, this event is here to celebrate your creativity.
Who is running this event?
@frodosrings and @silme-lorien :) Hi! Any questions about the event may also be sent to either of our personal ask boxes.
What can we submit?
Anything you want, as long as it is created by you. Any creative endeavour is accepted. Fics, Artwork, Headcanons, Blurbs, Crafts, Edits, Gif Sets, Collages, etc. are all welcome.
Go by this rule: if you made it and it follows a daily prompt utilizing a female character from a Tolkien work, then it is more than welcome!
Do our pieces have to be canonical to the lore as it is written by Tolkien?
Not necessarily! You are more than welcome to bring any of these ladies to the modern world or any au you have in mind, create a piece about experiences they may have had which were not directly depicted by JRRT, etc; or stick solely to canon experiences of the female characters as written by JRRT. All we ask is that the daily prompts are followed, and we will not limit your creativity any further than that.
Can the submissions include men from Tolkien’s works as well?
Yes. As long as the focal point of your piece is any of Tolkien’s female characters, you are of course more than welcome to include other characters as part of your work to strengthen your piece and build your story :)
Any comments/concerns/feedback is more than welcome, please feel free to submit any of these questions to our ask box and we will answer. Have fun, and be on the lookout for updates!

🧚 A weeklong celebration of legends, lore, and faërie in Middle-earth
Tag: #TolkienFolkloreWeek2025
Date: December 1st – 7th (for when best to tell old tales than in winter?)
Have you ever imagined Lúthien as the fairest of them all — a hunted daughter with raven hair, echoing Snow White of the Brothers Grimm?
Or seen Yavanna, born of blossoms and divine power, in the image of Blodeuwedd from the Mabinogion?
Have you thought of Gandalf as Odin wandering in disguise? Or Fëanor as a fallen craftsman god, not unlike Prometheus?
If you’ve ever been drawn to the myths behind Middle-earth — the fairytales, epics, legends, and old gods that shaped Tolkien’s world — this is your invitation.
This is Tolkien Fairytale & Folklore Week 2025 — where we return to the stories beneath the stories. Where Middle-earth meets myths, epics, hearth-tales, and the whispering woods of old.
🌿 What is this?
A creative fandom event celebrating Tolkien’s legendarium through the lens of:
🏰 Fairytales (classic, dark, and global)
🐉 Folklore (rural myths, local legends, old wives’ tales)
📜 Mythology (Norse, Arthurian, Greek, Celtic, Hindu, African, and more)
⚔️ Ancient epics (Beowulf, Gilgamesh, Mahabharata, etc.)
Middle-earth was a mythology, after all — and Tolkien loved the tales that came before it. This week is about reimagining and rediscovering those mythic roots, through fanworks of all kinds.
✨ What can I create?
Fanfiction
Fanart
Edits / moodboards / aesthetics
Meta / headcanons
Original poetry / songs
Playlists
Worldbuilding
Cosplay / crafts / anything that tells a story!
No need to follow a daily prompt schedule — use as many or as few as you like!
📌 Follow this blog for reblogs, prompts, and updates!
📖 Check out the FAQ and Rules, this year's prompts and our AO3 Collection [will follow].
