Legolas : I learned some very valuable lessons from this.

Aragorn: I’m guessing they are all horrible distortions on the lessons you actually should’ve taken away.

Legolas: Death isn’t real, and I’m basically God.

In other news, definitely wondering who Celebrimbor’s ill-advised bff is going to be played by. Can’t wait for Galadriel to be like, “look, your boyfriend is evil, I can smell it” and Celebrimbor will be like, “bUt hE heLpS maKe CoOl RiNgS, plz bE rEaSonabLe…”

Also, Celeborn, where is that lad?

Me: So, while men are not blessed with immortality like elves, it’s said that their ability to die and go beyond the physical world  is its own kind of gift. The stuff about Beren and Luthien kinda throws a wrench into this, since she could apparently stop being immortal as a full-blooded elf anyway, which makes it seem like the elves just get a better deal period, but regardless, most of the elves ultimately go to the blessed land of Valinor, which is in the far west, but removed from the circles of the world.

The Pure Land Buddhist in my head: The place in the far west is not quite the final escape, but as good as it gets while still being a sentient being. Right…

Me: Valinor is also the home of the Maiar and Valar, godlike beings. A renegade Vala, Melkor, is the overarching villain, but the main villain of the books is a renegade Maia loyal to Melkor (at least originally), Sauron. Anyway, Sauron put a lot of his power into a single artifact, a ring. This ring falls into the possession of the protagonists of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and possession of the ring causes an obsessive attachment in whoever has it, and apparently allows them to live indefinitely, but it doesn’t bring them any real happiness or contentment.

The Pure Land Buddhist in my head: Okay, the circle/ring/wheel-shaped object keeps you miserably tethered to life and itself. The symbolism is a touch heavy-handed, but I can live with it.

Me: The author, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, was a devout Catholic, and while not overtly allegorical in the fashion of his friend Clive Staples Lewis’s Narnia books, many see a great deal of Catholic influence in the Lord of the Rings mythos.

The Pure Land Buddhist in my head: (spitting out the tea he had coincidentally just started drinking) Catholic?

#lotr #buddhism #catholicism #my knowledge of both the LotR mythos and Pure Land Buddhism is limited so I hope this isn't too offensively inaccurate about either

Some portraits of some fancy elves from Gondolin

Ecthelion and Glorfindel deserved some more elaborate designs than my usual, and how can I draw one without the other?

#Ecthelion of the Fountain #Ecthelion #Glorfindel of the Golden Flower #Glorfindel #Silmarillion #Silm #Silm art #the silmarillion #Lord of the Rings #lotr #Tolkien #I just wanted to draw elaborate outfits #Well actually this all started because I own the big flower patterned earrings that Glorfindel is wearing and stared at them for too long #and THEN I wanted to draw elaborate outfits for Glorfindel and Ecthelion ended up there too #And of course I made it fancier with the backgrounds so now my main and art blogs have matching icons #Please excuse the tengwar though if it's inaccurate #It's written in English with tengwar from a particular set of instructions I found in a book a while back! #It should say Lord of the Fountain and Lord of the Golden Flower respectively #What does it say about me that I got bored and learned to write English with tengwar though? #Radj Draws

Hello,

would you ever be in the mood to draw Aragorn and Arwen as king and queen of Gondor and Arnor?

You rock!

they got a happy ending and it was so deserved

thank you so much!

local bird lady thrilled by valinor biodiversity after spending most of her life in one town

(the short hair is either a fashion choice or a deliberate nod to lúthiens hair cutting shenanigans. your pick)

#elwing #silmarillion #silmart #tolkien #lotr #i am very particular about the tolkien men having long hair but when it comes to the girlies i'm like short hair cute though <3 #will not be taking criticism on the wildly inaccurate bird sizes. maybe valinor just has giant hummingbirds

[galadrielspeaks]

legolas is such an important character to me because of how at a surface level when you first watch the movies you see him as this aloof mystical tactical elf-prince but then when you really start getting into his lore you realise he’s essentially just some homeschooled kid from the middle of nowhere who applied to a huge university in the big city to get away from home and is genuinely baffled at everything he sees and people assume his confusion is him being mysterious when in reality half the time he’s just trying to process what the hell is going on

#*​crying tears* he’s just like me fr….. #legolas #lord of the rings #lotr #legolas greenleaf #legolas thranduilion #i’m doing research for a fic i’m writing bc i really want to get his characterisation right #and i am just so pleased at everything i discover #also this might be inaccurate bc i’m still learning about him but from what i’m seeing so far… yeah *holding back tears* he’s so real #ashrambles

Blocking annoying tags is self care, especially if you have an idea of who is a Trusted Mutual who would not be reblogging something from Annoying Tag and therefore it's likely just OP overtagging and it's safe to Click Button.

#hopeful rambling #on a Completely Totally Definitely unrelated note #STOP TAGGING EXCLUSIVELY SILM STUFF AS THE AMAZON POWER RINGS SHOW #this is also annoying the other way around! and when people tag hobbit movies stuff as lotr or vice versa and the like! #but show tags are especially irritating to me #they are not the same canon! #they are nothing close to the canon! maedhros has nothing to do with the show?? why are you tagging it???? #yeah yeah exposure related fandom blah blah its *inaccurate* #and like im not confident that its unrelated enough to count as spam via tumblr tos but its unrelated enough to make me seethe #i dont go to lotr tags except incidentally for the most part but im sure yall have it worse and im so sorry #i will not spill all my salt in the tags. i will contain it and let my heart continue pickling as it has for the past year. but its there #anyway. tag rant over.

legolas: the moon controls the tides and the human psyche. wolves know that, that's why they howl at her. it's a tribute

therapist: let’s talk about your father

legolas: no

Fili: Is stabbing someone immoral?

Kili: Not if they consent to it.

Thorin: Depends who you’re stabbing.

Announcer at Grand Ball in Eregion: elf lords & ladies, I present Annatar, Lord of Gifts!

Celebrimbor: *happy to see best pal, his ring forging partner-*

Announcer continues: …he is the Fair Of Face, the Forger of Rings. Also named Zigûr the Wizard of Númenor, the King of Kings. Resplendent Mairon the Admirable. Oh, indeed he is Gorthaur, Lord of Werewolves, The Great Shapeshifter himself! Cruel Lieutenant of Morgoth, the Master of Tortures! The Deceiver. It is he, Sauron, the Dark Lord of Shadow and Flame. Look upon him and despair-

Celebrimbor: wait, I’m confused

so the feanorians?? i can fix them

for context, i finally finished the silm on friday and it's been occupying 98% of my brain power for the last week. feanor + his sons really hit my feminine urge to F I X. i'm in no way, shape, or form qualified to pass judgment on this, but as a fellow mentally ill person and also a self-proclaimed genius with an English degree, i'm gonna anyway. also this came to me in the shower 💀

they just need a little...

feanor: therapy for anger management...and maybe kleptomania

maedhros: a life purpose besides The Oath™️ and his hand back suhfieuhi

maglor: art therapy cause he's a crybaby (affectionate)

celegorm: to keep it in his pants

caranthir: someone, anyone, to tell him he's a pretty boy (i volunteer)

curufin: literally just to NOT be feanor jr??? maybe if one of his two parents gave him his own name he wouldn't be feanor 2.0 with an identity crisis

amrod & amras: uh...a shred of page time and personalities? literally anything more than just their names 💀
