I've been thinking for a long time about what would happen if the Ring started corrupting Legolas. He is a killing machine and the son of a king easily manipulated by a thirst for power. I think it would be fatal for the whole fellowship.

And when this new star was seen at evening, Maedhros spoke to Maglor his brother, and he said: 'Surely that is a Silmaril that shines now in the West?'

And Maglor answered: 'If it be truly the Silmaril which we saw cast into the sea that rises again by the power of the Valar, then let us be glad; for its glory is seen now by many, and is yet secure from all evil.

- The Silmarillion, "Of the Voyage of Eärendil"

Alternate version:

I'm usually not a fan of busy backgrounds, even if they do the bulk of the narrative lifting. This one's more my thing, though it says less.

My fav random elf headcanon is that, since the first thing the first elves saw upon waking up were the stars, it's super important to them that their babies see the stars early on too.

I imagine in Tirion they paint the ceiling of their bedroom to look like the nightsky in anticipation, so that this will be the first thing the child can see.

In Menegroth it has become customary to celebrate the child's birth a few days after it has been born by inviting everyone to go above ground together, to a clearing at night to witness the first time the baby is underneath the nightsky.

Writing what you think other people want to read over what you want to write will slowly kill your creativity.

Write those self indulgent fics! Write those self-inserts. Write what you find joy in creating—not what you think is an objectively “good” story. If you have fun writing it, it is good. I promise there’s someone out there who will enjoy reading your stories as much as you enjoy writing them.
