[ox24g]

I made this a couple weeks ago and now I can finally post it! Yippee!

@ainurweek , day 2: Curumo and Aiwendil (feat. Olorin lol)

I probably won't do much more, unfortunately 😅 Work gave me too many hours this week 👁_👁

But yeah, the guy lives in spitting distance of horse town, he's 100% on ket.

@ainurweek day 1

Eonwe / Relations with men

Eonwe bows before Elros on the island of Numenor which has newly risen from the sea.

As the herald of Manwe he stayed with the Edain to help them establish their new realm close to Valinor. At the dawn of the second age a Maia of Manwe saw the rise of the line of Elros. And at its end Eonwe mourned the land and people brought to ruin by Sauron, who had escaped him during the war of wrath.

"[Tulkas'] spouse is Nessa, the sister of Oromë, and she also is lithe and fleetfooted. Deer she loves, and they follow her train whenever she goes in the wild; but she can outrun them, swift as an arrow with the wind in her hair. In dancing she delights, and she dances in Valimar on lawns of never-fading green." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Valaquenta"

@ainurweek day 7 ⇢ NESSA

[ID: an edit comprised of six posters in shades of red, black, and brown, with some white and gold accents.

1: Sheerah Ravindren, a tamil model with brown skin and long black hair, some of which is braided. They are looking over their shoulder at the viewer with a neutral expression, surrounded by gold foliage on a red background. The image is framed by a white rectangle which cuts off in the upper left corner, where white cursive text reads "Nessa." White serif text in the bottom right corner reads "the dancer" in all caps / 2: A red-handled knife with a dangling tassel beside its matching red sheath on a black background. White text, some in cursive and some in the serif font, reads "And it is sung that in that feast of the Spring of Arda / 3: A deer's face emerging from dark shadows. Text in the same format as Image 2 reads "Tulkas espoused Nessa the sister of Oromë, and she danced" / 4: Sheerah Ravindren, this time facing the viewer with their hands resting on either side of their head. They wear no shirt, and their hair hangs over their chest, as well as several gold necklaces. Same text as Image 1, but the text has switched to the bottom left and top right corners / 5: Sheerah Ravindren facing the viewer and crossing their arms above their head as if dancing. Same text and format as Image 1 / 6: An indian classical dancer. The image shows multiple exposures, making the figure look like they are in several poses at once. Text in the same format as Images 2 and 3 reads "before the Valar upon the green grass of Almaren." //End ID]

Melkor and Mairon / The Void, The Flame Imperishable

Not many in middle earth noticed the strangeness of the glow in Annatars eyes that could be so easily mistaken for the light of the trees. But those who were wise enough noticed the absence of Valinors light and knew it as the flame of creation itself, that within him it had twisted into a burning inferno.

In the beginning Melkor had searched the void far and wide for the flame imperishable. As he realized that a part of that flame resided within him he desperately tried to reach it. Tearing himself apart in the process.

Get pumped for another fun week dedicated to the Valar and Maiar! This year’s prompts are coming soon. Feel free to send an ask or message with any prompts you’d like to see!

Your Mod, @glorf1ndel 💜

"Mightier than Estë is Nienna, sister of the Fëanturi; she dwells alone. She is acquainted with grief, and mourns for every wound that Arda has suffered in the marring of Melkor. So great was her sorrow, as the Music unfolded, that her song turned to lamentation long before its end, and the sound of mourning was woven into the themes of the World before it began. But she does not weep for herself; and those who hearken to her learn pity, and endurance in hope." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Valaquenta"

@ainurweek day 8 ⇢ NIENNA

[ID: an edit comprised of two posters mainly in desaturated shades of dark blue and brown.

1: Aweng Ade-Chuol, a young south sudanese-australian model with dark skin and short hair. She wears a white and blue dress over a tightly fitted black shirt and gloves. The dress extends into a scarf that drapes over her head, and her gaze is faraway. Her hands are folded in her lap, and she wears several jewelled rings and a large bangle. White text in the center of the image reads "nienna" in all caps, and underneath, in cursive "lady of mercy" / 2: An extremely ornate arched ceiling decorated with different patterns, statues of winged figures, and many cutouts and rows of columns, as well as a large cylindrical chandelier. Same text as Image 1 //End ID]

@ainurweek Day 1 ⇢ Eönwë

Chief among the Maiar of Valinor whose names are remembered in the histories of the Elder Days are Ilmarë, the handmaid of Varda, and Eönwë, the banner-bearer and herald of Manwë, whose might in arms is surpassed by none in Arda.
