Let me explain why the Silmarillion hurts so much: Tolkien’s elves are immortal as long as they don’t die from heartache or war. The 1st age has enough elves for multiple large cities, who are amazing poets, architects, artists, and leaders. 

By the 3rd age, there’s like 5 left, maybe.

Spongey moss beneath my knees, damp from recent rain, soaking through clothing to the skin; worth it to capture the tiny world sprawled at my feet.

December; the 14th

Caranthir & Erestor

It´s my birthday so I felt I had a right to treat myself to some happy family - and as always Erestor as Haleth and Caranthir´s child

Caranthir is wearing fewer layers than I usually give him, which means he´s not dressed "fancy" in his own eyes (everyone else thinks he´s always fancy/overdressed but that doesn't matter)

Flowers in the elven language of Quenya! The etymologies for bluebell and pansies are actually fascinating but I will make a separate post for that!

Day 2: Traveling to Middle Earth & The Helcaraxë

At night Glorfindel climbes an icy hill, hoping to see the shore of middle earth. The stars are bright that night and the ice seems to glow. Maybe the Valar have not forsaken them after all.
