Rough sketch of a battle between an elves and orcs. Totally inspired by the events of the first age when Morgoth took over Beleriand.

Tolkien’s subtle connections between LOTR and The Silmarillion are just glorious to discover. Like the reason Gollum hates sunlight and moonlight is the same reason the Nazgûl get scared off when Frodo calls out to Varda! Sauron, and thus his servants and his Ring that has completely corrupted Gollum’s soul, shares the absolute darkness of Melkor, who always hated and feared Varda because she is absolute light and thereby she created the Sun and Moon in defiance of that darkness… and she created them out of the last remaining light of the Two Trees which Melkor destroyed, so every time a piece of Melkor’s darkness comes into contact with the light of the Sun and Moon, it is reminded that Melkor did not destroy that light completely, that it lives on. Gollum can feel Varda’s creations forever clashing with what is indirectly Melkor’s creation.

So what if the Valar foresaw that a balrog would be reawakened, and sent Glorfindel back as a precaution against this?

Then when Elrond is picking the company that it is Glorfindel’s life’s purpose to be in he gets upped by some silvan weirdo.

#Olorin coming back to the valar like ‘I fought a fucking balrog’ and the valar being like #‘Where was glorfindel?’ And learning that he was just chilling in rivendell #Looking at each other like shit that wasn’t supposed to happen #Guess we gotta send this bad boy back then and apologise to glorfindel for all the inconvenience #Also glorfindel sending letters (?) to ecthelion like ‘miss you but there’s another moody dark-haired one called erestor #He reminds me of you’ #silm #the silmarillion #silmarillion #silm fandom #the silm #the silm fandom #tolkien #lotr #Glorfindel #gandalf #the valar #balrog #tolkien legendarium #middle earth

Ok I know we all like to joke about how the Battle of the Five Armies is only a page long in The Hobbit but like. Sometimes I think about how what if Tolkien wrote it that way because he didn’t want his kids to hear about war.

#like the hobbit was supposed to be a bedtime story for his kids #and Tolkien fought in an actual war like he was on the front lines #and obviously it impacted him heavily enough to write a whole trilogy of anti-war books #but this was a story originally meant for his children to hear #so what if he left out the battle of the five armies because he didn’t want his kids to hear about it #but still left in the sad aftermath because he at the very least wanted them to know how destructive war is #I dunno I could be wrong #but sometimes I think about that #the hobbit #lord of the rings #jrr tolkien #j r r tolkien #the silmarillion #tolkien legendarium #tolkien

Insane how Bilbo Baggins embodies each of the Free-Peoples of Middle-Earth.

He is The Hobbit.

He is an honorary Dwarf.

He is an Elf-friend and VIP in their restricted realm.

And he is the instigator of the ultimate salvation of Men.

Bilbo Baggins is the Free-Peoples, rolled up in one.
