This is exactly how elves in Mirkwood would shit talk the Galadhrim 🤣

the tightrope "bridge" across the Celebrant is so fucking funny to me. Like I get the whole "times are dangerous and so we do not build bridges anymore" thing but like, have you guys not heard of a drawbridge? a gated drawbridge, even?

"Yes, but do you know?" Maenod pushed. "They watch, and the bluebirds won't tell, but the jays will. They cheat. The crows too, but they like me."

A small peredhel elfling is on his doorstep, some of his dark hair coming loose from a long braid. He has to crane his head to meet Aicarmo's gaze, even standing a few paces back.

"Naryanta, may I hide with you inside, please?" Maenod implored. "–Only for a little while. I promise I will not be a bother."

//reverse ⏳️

"You will be a bother," The blond had no doubts about that. Yet he could relate to a child trying to hide from adults, "Tell me who you are hiding from and I will make sure they do not find you. But in exchange you have to do some work for me,"

Glorfindel Week | Day 1

Quick drawing today for @glorfindelweek! Took a crack at a golden mantle. I don't have my Valinor headcanons for him sorted out yet, but I've been playing with the idea of what his personal device looks like before and after rebirth.

Sketches with haphazard notes below cut:

At the Council of Elrond

Elrond: Here, my friends is the hobbit, Frodo son of Drogo. Few have ever come hither through greater peril or on an errand more urgent.

Frodo: Name two of those people right now.

If sometimes the graves of heroes in Middle-Earth seem to have something, some fate, some enchantment, laid over them, like in any good legend -- that flowers or grass will ever grow over them, or they shall never be violated -- what happens if it's the resting place of an elf and the elf is reborn? Does it last? That grave is not really theirs anymore, cannot be; one can't have two bodies. There cannot be a corpse there anymore, but even as a symbol it falls apart -- there is no need for a grave for the living.

If Gondolin had not drowned, what would have happened with Glorfindel's cairn once he was returned? What about Finrod's?

Was it the earth itself showing its love? Do the flowers that grew where Glorfindel was buried now grow beneath his window in Rivendell?

not to out anon but im pretty sure that's Legolas, Prince of the Woodland Realm, posting live from Caradhras

When is the best moment to chase and catch the sun? I keep starting to run but it just goes up further in the sky and I have to keep waiting again, there must be some good moment to get it

from where do you hail strange anon. and for what do you ask this

anyways I'd say 6am on the west coast. or 7:30 in the winter.

It's @glorfindelweek eve! :D 💛

« Ai! Put up your hair! » His parents didn't often speak Quenya to him. In fact, it seemed to be mostly reserved for conversations that did not involve him, but he knew this phrase well. « It is up! » Maenod said hastily, dashing for the door. "No, not back," Glorfindel stressed. "Up!"

Happy Sunday, Fellowship! 💜

"Minstrels probably shouldn't age like Dorwinion. I think that would mean that you are putting everyone to sleep." He was silent for a moment as he thought it over, then shrugged. "I don't know. You've aged as well as miruvor, I'd say."

"Come now, it's aged at least as well as you have. As well as the Dorwinion, even."
