A man condescendingly thinks a raven is smart. But man does not know what assessment crows will give to the human mind.

Many good people are generous, they do a lot of good things. Bad guys are also generous, they do much evil throughout their lives: «The one who hurt me once, will receive one hundred times more…”

Does that mean the best villain is a greedy villain?

Gatekeepers can be good or bad, but without them our house is definitely not safe.

Over the past year, I’ve read about 200 fantasy novels, but I’m still not satisfied 😂

We know Elrond couldn’t find Radagast at the right time, and Tolkien didn’t explain why. I think an unknown fortune teller told Radagast how he would look like in Peter Jackson’s movie. So Radagast shaved and cleaned himself up, but no one recognized him. So the Brown Wizard became invisible and forgotten. 😂

I thought that maybe Edith Tolkien or another woman had postpartum depression, as Tolkien described it in his book. I feel sorry for Miriel, but I feel more sorry for Indis.

Your art is so unique and absolutely gorgeous! You manage to make these elves both beautiful and eerie at the same time, which I feel is completely accurate for how they would be.

Thanks for sharing!

At first I want to apologize for the long silence, I don’t often check Tumblr mailbox. But I was damn pleased to see your message. Thanks for your support and kind words. Also I hope that my characters are not to eerie 😂. And I agree that elves should be slightly different from humans. Creatures that have lived for thousands of years can not be the same as low-living moths.

Anyway thank you ❤️❤️❤️

While I try to understand Amras, I draw other members of Feanor family.

I am crazy about ice cream. It’s junk food, but gives me happiness and satisfaction. Summer is coming soon, yay! ❤️❤️❤️ I lost my job, and was sick for a long time. But thoughts about summer give me hope for goodness 😁✨✨.

I’m still trying to understand fan universal love for Féanor’s sons

[tabukomi]

I’ve always loved reading, more than watching movies. Now I am on a “reading” binge again 😂. (It all started with the original fanfic "No Escape" by Katerina Petrova.)

The word "black" is attractive, mysterious and sexy. I don’t think "Black Forest" cake is the best, but how can I say «no» if someone offers me a piece of "Schwartzwald". Or rather I like the title more than the cake taste.🍷

Or if I’m reading a book. Any black-haired character has to be sarcastic, smart, sexy, hard. And he certainly has a tragic past. Like Lucifer, professor Snape and others. I know it’s a little childish, but it’s me and my thoughts. 😂

At first I thought Celegorm was a loser and bad guy. Then my thoughts turned to Huan. Many fans think he was a dog. But he was a wolf without any doubt. A dog would not betray his master. And I felt pain for Celegorm.

But maybe it is not so sad story. Celegorm couldn’t confess his love for Luthien by beautiful words. And that’s why he sent Huan to protect his love.

“And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
