BTW please do not forget your daily clicks! Any myth of this NOT going to Palestine has been debunked, and it doesn't take any time to simply click one button.

You click the button and the ad money goes directly to Palestinian relief funds!!! It's safe, and if you haven't done it before I'd highly encourage you to start now!

tumblr just deleted a huge swathe of palestinians who were on here trying to fundraise. if you've been helping any of these fundraisers please take this time to 1) check in with palestinians you're in contact with 2) help them submit support requests if needed 3) keep these campaigns circulating while the beneficiaries are being silenced. these campaigns are life or death, this isn't just social networking. do not let these fundraisers languish.

What I’m getting from the Silmarillion is the plot is “Almost everyone dies. Everyone who lives, every victory, contributed somehow to the birth of Elrond.” 

Elrond is the end goal. I am convinced Elrond is the most important character in Tolkien’s entire universe.

>looking for a new retelling of ancient myth

>ask the reviewers if the book is classical reception or modern tropification

>they don't understand

>i pull out a diagram explaining the difference between what engages with ancient sources and depictions of the story and what relies on reduction of the story to its most marketable aspects

>they laugh and say "it's a good retelling"

I'm sorry like genuinely what the fuck I need to bleach my eyes

WHAT IN THE FUCKING FUCK DID I JUST WITNESS

I have this hc that Sauron’s obsession with vanity led him to spend years studying Maedhros’ features and trying to emulate them. When he couldn’t get it right, the proportions always a little off, red hair never deep enough, he took his anger out on Mae and when that option was gone, tried to pull from others also renown for their beauty instead.

Fast forward a few centuries and turns out all that work wasn’t entirely useless. And Sauron knows exactly what to do with the features he was able to recreate. Weaving them into his new face, the line of Maitimo’s smile, the set of his eyebrows, the crease of his eyes, he puts just enough to be familiar, but not enough to set off any alarms.

Celebrimbor doesn’t know *why* he trusts Annatar so easily, just that he’s got a good feeling about him. The Maia reminds him of someone he can’t quite put a finger on, but it’s a good association and he doesn’t think on it too deeply. Grows to call him a brother in all but blood.

Of course we all know how that ends. And the last thing Celebrimbor sees is his eldest Uncle’s smile, a mockery of the warmth it should hold as Sauron finally ends his torture.

(Elrond, on the other hand, never saw Maitimo who used to laugh easily and play silly games with children. Only grim Maedhros. The gentle features Sauron steals are alien to him. A stranger with too many familiar features he can’t quite place, twisted the wrong way, leaving him deeply unsettled. It’s why he immediately tells Gil Galad to send Annatar away, hiding trembling hands in his sleeves.)

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

We are in the final hours to support our Kickstarter! 💜

Did you know all backers will receive a Digital Game Guide with an exclusive written episode narrating the events before the demo, with special illustrations like the one above!? Now you do!

Only 5 backers left to reach 800! 🎉

⭐ ALSO, A SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT UPDATE! THE "LATE PLEDGE" OPTION WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL OCTOBER 20TH!

Late Pledges will be available after our campaign is over and until October 20th! That means new backers will be able to grab a hold of our Kickstarter goodies (minus early access) albeit at a higher price. Note that current backers won't be able to change their pledge with this feature. This is for those of you who can't pledge this month!

⭐IN REGARDS TO LÁZARO, CÉCILE & VOIDBOUND MERCH

(Because yes, people have been begging for merch of the voidbound)

After this Friday and as we calculate the total amount of merch that has been ordered by our backers, it may be possible for us to produce Lázaro and Cécile's charms, and a voidbound sticker. If this ends up being possible, we'll notify everyone with plenty of time, and you'll be able to add them as an add-on via your Backerkit Survey. Sadly they won't be able to be included in any bundles, but they will retail as the rest of our charms; 6EUR.

As always, feel free to send us your feedback, questions, or your opinions about these news! 💜

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: Rings of Power — 2.01 / Elven Kings Under the Sky (2024) For Ulmo bore up Elwing out of the Waves — Jenny Dolfen (2018) / @jennydolfen

Elros and Elrond were taken captive, but Elwing with the Silmaril upon her breast had cast herself into the sea. Thus Maedhros and Maglor gained not the jewel; but it was not lost. For Ulmo bore up Elwing out of the waves, and he gave her the likeness of a great white bird, and upon her breast there shone as a star the Silmaril, as she flew over the water to seek Eärendil her beloved.
