#Arda

[queensabriel]

What a bittersweet, heart wrenching moment it must have been when Galadriel first met Aragorn and saw he wore the ring that Finrod had given to Barahir so many thousands of years ago. That her brother's love was still being carried as such a treasured symbol of hope.

I think about this a lot.

we don't talk about it ────── you don't have the time — arda tries convincing you to come to his game.

♡ ────── pairing : arda güler x reader ♡ ────── tags : reader's gender, ethnicity, nationality, and appearance is not specified. situationship!arda guler. reader speaks turkish n is speaking turkish with arda in this. angsty i guess??? i keep asking myself why i keep on giving him these stressful situationship scenarios omfg ♡ ────── wordcount : 715 ♡ ────── notes : more situationship arda i literally dc. also sorry for not posting in a while im tiiiired with work and my intern!! >:(( title is from august by flipturn!! ♡ masterlist.

“So you can’t come?”

Arda breathes into the mic, his eyes immediately fluttering close as he hears shrugging on your end, his phone trapped between his shoulders and his ears.

“Yeah.”

Arda tries imagining you right now. He tries imagining the expression on your face, he tries imagining what you are doing—swaying around, sitting down, biting your nails, rolling your eyes—and he lets his fantasies feed more into his imminent heartbreak.

He is in the changing room. Practice was rough that day, though he thinks that maybe it’s just him. Brahim seems to be having the time of his life, and Federico is somewhere talking to Antonio about the shenanigans that his kids, plural now that the youngest have turned one, have been up to lately.

And the room is far from quiet.

It’s alive—full of Eduardo chanting a Spanish song that Vinícius just taught him, full of Jude giggling as he texts his family group chat, and it’s full of Arda’s ailing heart beating against his ribs.

“Sorry,” you mumble to his speaker. Normally, Arda would find a way to voice his disappointment; he would click his tongue, he would thump his head against the wall, he would hang the call and scream into his mouth. But not right now.

“It’s in a week,” he tries negotiating, “not a week, even. 10 days. It’s in 10 days.”

The background noise increases—maybe he’s hallucinating—and Arda decides that he wouldn’t let anyone notice his distress.

No.

A part of him is embarrassed that he’s mulling so much over someone who he has been pining for for ages. He wonders if his older teammates, like Toni or Luka, know what a situationship is. His mother certainly does not. He asked her.

And sure there’s nuances and context in every relationship, but it somehow feels humiliating to explain to his teammates that he’s sad over someone who he is crushing on, but is technically going out with, but also not dating, yet is in a relationship with.

“I know, Arda,” he hears something shifting on your end. “It’s just that I promised my friend that we would go hang out.”

“You can hang out at the Bernabeu,” he encourages, still, his voice light despite the disappointment anchoring his chest. “I’ll get you the tickets.”

Arda opens one eye and watches the changing room, making sure that nobody is giving him their time of day.

“I asked you a few days ago,” he mutters quietly, rubbing the back of his neck rather harshly at the pent up frustration he’s developed every time he speaks to you. “I mean, I asked you first. It’s not fair.”

“Not fair?”

You echo him, and Arda lets out a rather long, extravagant sigh.

“Sorry.”

“We’re not—” you sigh. “Not fair? And whose fault do you think that is?”

Arda bites his lips, thinking over his words.

“Sorry.” He sighs again. “My fault. It’s my fault.”

“Right,” you huff into the speaker.

“Right,” he repeats, before uttering out a weak, “I miss you.”

You didn’t answer him for a moment, and Arda fears that he might have lost his hearing, but he eventually hears a breath.

“I miss you too.”

“I miss you more.”

A stupid smile etched on his lips—an idiotic, hopeful smile.

“Whatever.” He can basically see you roll your eyes. “I’m still not coming. I’m not coming to any of your games, you hear me?”

Until you make it official. He can basically hear you say.

He’s had this conversation a million times, and for some reason, it’s not enough push for him to commit to a relationship. He feels like if it were anyone else, he would not have much of an issue in putting a label on your relationship.

But it’s you.

And he has spent so long wanting you. What if you become his, and then you leave? You break up with him, leave him shattered? There is no breakup if there is no relationship in the first place—the senseless voice in his head keeps on whispering—there is no being left alone if he never decided to stay.

“Tell me if you change your mind.”

You huff to the phone again. “See you, Arda.”

He holds back an I love you, and laughs softly.

“I’ll see you around.”

I firmly believe that Tolkien had a secret soft spot for Sauron. Why? Hear me out...

If there was something more special and important - even sacred - to Tolkien other than writing, it was definitely con langs (constructed languages). Tolkien talks fairly extensively about the religious and sacred implications of con langs for him as part of Sub-Creation, and it's also obvious that it was his most special personal hobby. The entire world of Arda was born from Tolkien's con langs, rather than the other way around. Middle-earth would not exist without con langs.

That beings the case, you'd think that we'd see lots of examples of con langs within the Legendarium. But we don't. In fact, we only see one con lang within the Legendarium, and only one being who, like Tolkien, is a con-langer.

And that, of course, is Sauron with the Black Speech.

Not Feanor. Not Beren. Not Bilbo or Aragorn. Not any of the other characters who were Tolkien's "favorites" to whom you might expect Tolkien to give his beloved hobby.

No, it's Sauron.

Tolkien gave to his villain his most beloved and sacred hobby. (He also made Sauron a poet, which is another very personal and special hobby of Tolkien's.) That would be like me creating a villain and then making her a Children's Librarian who writes redemption fanfiction on the side. There is no way that was not a deliberate choice on Tolkien's part.

There's also the way Tolkien writes about Sauron (particularly in "Morgoth's Ring") but that's a post for another day. But I think Tolkien's choice to make Sauron a con-langer (and the ONLY known true con-langer in Arda) speaks to some fondness or love Tolkien had for that character.

Elrond takes command of the company ᴛʜᴇ ʀɪɴɢs ᴏғ ᴘᴏᴡᴇʀ ᴇᴘ ɪɪ.ɪᴠ ᴇʟᴅᴇsᴛ

At the high king's urging I agreed to appoint you as first lieutenant. But if you deem that duty beneath you I will choose another

[velvet4510]

Headcanon that all that juicy stuff such as the hug, the acorn moment, “to me he was…” etc. all happened in book canon too because who says it didn’t, Bilbo just wanted to keep and treasure those moments to himself and leave them out of his memoir.

SO when Thorin went to Aulë’s corner in the Halls of Mandos, he watched Bilbo and Balin’s “to me he was” talk via Vairë’s tapestries. And he wondered what the rest of that sentence was, especially as the rest of the company insisted Bilbo’s use of “friend” to the house thieves was an oversimplification and not the real truth.

When Bilbo finally arrived in the Halls, though the Gift of Men could not be taken from him, he was allowed a few hours in Aulë’s corner to reconnect with the Dwarves one last time before leaving Arda. Once everyone had caught up on Bilbo’s life, and he’d said his last farewells to most of them, he and Thorin went to Aulë’s gates alone.

What followed was akin to the WandaVision finale. Though they knew they could not stay like this, Thorin’s last request was to know the rest of that one unfinished sentence he once overheard. “…What am I to you?” Bilbo’s answer was a parallel to, if not word for word, “You are my sadness and my hope, but mostly you’re my love.” One last hug and kiss, a promise to reunite when the world is remade, and Bilbo departed from Arda.

NIENNA'S TEARS

Nienna of the Valar climbed atop the hill of Ezellohar, threw back her grey hood and wept. Her tears washed away the filth of Ungoliant. She sang in mourning for the bitterness of the world and the Marring of Arda.

Yo I've got another for my by now mixed Tolkien survey series:

(yes, I over-simplified stuff, and had to exclude Tulkas, Melkor & Mandos for lack of answer-options, just comment if you'd have picked them)

“I thought you loved me?”

Arda grins the moment he separates from his teammates, approaching you with a smile you know he’s worked hard for. His arms are sprawled wide open, one hand holding a sports towel, and the moment he’s got a hold of you, he picks you up and spins you around, a loud laugh roaring in his chest.

“I love you most,” he retorts, setting you down after your happy shrieks, lightly hitting the base of his neck to be put down. Without wasting time, he hugs your neck, pulling you close to him while rocking your body back and forth.

“Shut up,” you whine, while wrapping your arm around his body. “You betrayed me, Güler. How could you?”

“Georgia put up a fight, you know,” he mumbles against your hair. Your nose scrunches at the sweat dripping from the strands of his hand, but you decide to rest your head against his chest.

“First time in Euros, and you embarrass us like this,” you mutter with a pout, “I can’t believe you.”

“First time in Euros with a banging debut goal!” He tries cheering you up, still burying his face against the scent of your hair.

“You’re just saying that to make me feel better,” you roll your eyes, and shift away only to be greeted with his grin, widening.

“Of course I am,” he gushes before shaking his head. “Sorry.”

Seeing his excitement, the way his eyes glisten with pride, you felt a pang of warmth beginning to spread in your chest.

“You’re so repulsive,” you mumble, gripping the collar of his neck so that he’d be closer to you. Arda purses his lips, though the smile never leaves his eyes. You lean up to press your lips against his. “I’m so proud of you.”

Arda pulls away, putting the towel he holds on his shoulder before placing both hands on your waist. “Told the journalists that I have more dreams to realise,” he muses with a beam, “do you think they’d find me annoying?”

“After a goal like that?” You smile, kissing his cheek. “There’s nowhere for you to go but up.”

The glint in his gaze, for some reason, lights up even more. “You think so?”

You roll your eyes. “I know so.”

He pulls you closer, “I love you.”

You press in a smile, acting disgusted at his sweaty jersey touching more of your skin.

“I love you—” You shriek as he attempts to engulf you in a hug, “Wait— get away from me!”

[ravnarieldurin]

So...let me get this straight...J.R.R. Tolkien:

Created an entire other world/pre-Earth universe from the ground up

Wrote new languages from said fantasy world

Dictated Cultures & Customs for all species in his world (of which most don't actually exist)

Eluded to the Christian God of our world as the God of Arda (Eru Ilúvatar)

Eluded to satan/the devil of our world as the Dark Lord of Middle-Earth (Morgoth/Melkor and then Sauron)

Created Indexes, Timelines and Family Trees for much of his world

Wrote an entire History of Middle-Earth book to partner with his adventure tale

BUT!!!!!!!!

He couldn't come up with better names for the first Elves ever in existence than Elf One (Imin), Elf Two (Tata) and Elf Three (Enel)?!

Really?!?!?!

In case it wasn't obvious, this is 100% a joke...okay, maybe 99% a joke.

Tolkien's work is nothing short of extraordinary and I'm loving diving into the extensive history of Arda. It's no wonder the man had notes upon notes upon notes about Middle-Earth. The scope of his imagination was insane and incredibly inspiring.
