TRSB 2024 art 2: Lured to be loved

@tolkienrsb Elladan & Elrohir have done everything they stayed in Middle Earth to do, but there's one thing Elrond left behind: his pseudo-father Maglor (now turned kinda crustacean). They are going to fix that.

I am looking forward to some crabnapping /o/ ( Will there be crabnapping? I don't know, but there sure could be. )

Great fic by the author reese -> X

Elladan is the one in the red cloak and Elrohir is the one with a white sash. Maglor + several ages on sitting in sand by the beach = Crablor.

TRSB 2024 art 1: Reluctant Audience

@tolkienrsb I think that 4th Age may not be a cakewalk for anyone (especially not Elrond) after all, but they will just have to deal with it. Specifically, this time there is a meeting with the High King.

The fic by the great author @maglor-my-beloved -> X

Characters (left to right): Finarfin (with the crown), Erestor (short in black), Elrond (feeling under-dressed), Glorfindel (looking good in blue).

Also please notice both the dragonfly motif I have included in the Imladris folks' clothes (this may or may not be an elven political statement), and the wing comparison (Elrond's metaphorical, but somehow very real ones and the set embroidered on Finarfin's robe). Have I included more easter eggs that may or may not deal with elven politics in this piece? Perhaps, but you'll have to look for those all by yourselves.

Are you interested in a commission of a naughtier kind (pinup or even a true n s f w)? Into Tolkien (lotr, silmarillion, etc)? Like my art (feel free to scroll to my previous year's contributions to get an idea of the kind of art I could make)? If yes, I have an idea for some unrestrained late summer fun for you: I am participating as an artist this year for the calendar and I have 2 slots open. All you have to do is sign up as a main commissioner and then hit me up with your idea.

(my prices are very reasonable due to the capped prices of the event)

Tolkien Pinup Calendar 2025!! Signups open

n s f w gallery slide 33 (Last Chance). @fall-for-tolkien I was taking suggestions from the discord chat and someone said time travel. So I thought about it and decided a time loop would be great fun (=terrible) and so the final slide was born. Also enjoy the actual prompt, I am too far gone to explain:

Additional details/requests: Glorfindel has been released to Middle earth for several purposes: one is to make sure certain scenarios play out the intended way (he does not know this beforehand). The first time this happens is when he is supposed to be escorting scholars to Imladris, but due to poor internal management resentments between soldiers and “useless paper pushers” causes a catastrophe when they are ambushed. The chief councillor dies in his arms (along with several others). He is then transported back in time, as he were, before the incident. How many tries does it take for him to save everyone? And what happens if he runs out of tries before that happens? Will Erestor be saved or will he end up haunting Glorfindel’s dreams only in the traditional sense.

THE SECRET SLIDES (they are n s f w ). @fall-for-tolkien Some of you might be good at math and are wondering - but where are the rest of the slides? weren't there 11? stinky liar.

Well you see, tumblr and I do not see eye to eye on what's fun to have here so slides n s f w 3 (Best I’ve ever head), 17 (Unending temptation) and 23 (Well I've never/We like spreadsheets) have been put in a secret place:

slide 3 (glorestor) -> X

slide 17 (one sided gil-galad/elrond) -> X

slide 23 (glorestor modern professor au) + extras -> X

slide 168 (Beyond a window pane/Testing his patience) @fall-for-tolkien I made a modern AU where Elrond has cats (they are Glorfindel & Erestor).

Additional details/requests (I was too lazy to write anything, so enjoy seeing the prompt): Elrond has inherited a very expensive, very pretty golden longhaired pageant cat (he thinks that is a fancy way to call something orange and high maintenance) after an unfortunate house fire (bye estranged great uncle Turgon). The cat has been depressed and quiet until now. That is until CatGlorfindel falls in love with a mean stray that has decided Elrond’s garden is its new home. (The patio furniture is suffering)

Slides 102 (Spirit forged)* and 107(To be or not to be, Fish Filet). I was in my murim phase, I have nothing to defend myself with. I am also continuing my journey of dying on the glorestor hill. @fall-for-tolkien

What's the difference between the two? Glad you asked (no one did) - Erestor is a sword in the first one and Glorfindel got trapped in a sword when he croaked in the second.

Scribbles&Drabbles 2024

Slide 31 (Cravings (Food is sometimes difficult)) + many extras @fall-for-tolkien - I had many thoughts about my favorite 3 of Imladris after seeing the "holding burger like a wounded pigeon" meme. These thoughts include but are not limited to: If Elrond was a pet (as in a domesticated animal) he'd be one of those OHLAWDHECOMING types, one iteration of a half-maia Erestor who will eat raw beef if left unattended (and another that eats raw BEETS because I am illiterate and mistyped on the official slide and had to cry to the mods to save me), food-motivation meter and a secret 4th thing that can be found under the cut (it's glorestor, it's always glorestor).

and the secret nsfw glorestor thing -> X
