* your father took your name to the stars, your mother to the depths of the sea; there they laid you upon the horizon, bereft in the twilight. then the evening wind said unto you amidst the darkening vault: nay, this sorrow is yours. BY GUINEVERE.

this summer night deep down under the stars was all the things you would ever feel or see or hear in your life, drowning you all at once.

HENYA NÚMEVA LÚME, AR NÓ CALA VE CALA ELENION.

* the bearer of vilya. — private elrond half-elven of j.r.r. tolkien's legendarium, as portrayed by r. aramayo. read on.

private, with my main account being #oakenbranch. while the character belongs to tolkien, everything on this account, including imagery, essays, and concepts belongs to me. i retain the right to hardblock and softblock at my discretion. anonymous is never turned on. no prejudice, sexism, transphobia, or racism will be tolerated. we all have a place in middle-earth.

crossovers are encouraged! though i will never put him in an entirely modern setting, and prefer using magical means, such as being brought from the pages of a book, in order to bring him into a modern earth. themes here will contain dark or otherwise mature content. i will not follow minors. single-ship in terms of character, meaning multiple ships, but with only one of each character. i welcome celebrían blogs!

while mostly book, notes, and letters-based, bits and pieces will be taken from peter jackson’s films. my portrayal will be elaborated on as i explore elrond and the numerous things written on elves and their history. do not assume to know my portrayal, nor should you make assumptions about my interpretation of elrond’s story and elven culture. plots can happen across the entirety of elrond’s timeline. i am more than happy to work with other tolkien accounts’ interpretations.

of amazon's series: i am highly critical of this show and its indifferent approach to the source material. the show will not have any influence story-wise on this blog. i am, however, friendly to any amazon-based blogs. all i ask is that my preference for tolkien's original lore be respected. namárië.
