hmmm... if (1) all types of flora and fauna are present in Valinor, and (2) Beleriand roughly corresponds to Europe in climate -> this leads to one of the things the Noldor miss most about Aman being chocolate??

Hey guys so these are for my AU where Túrin has a gun and accidentally starts Dagor Dagorath for some reason then kills everyone Eru included hope you like it :)

[massivewonderlandtragedy]

Not quite formed an opinion on this, so Silmarillion fandom thoughts please? 😁

Atsushi Sakurai as Namo's aesthetic or as Namo himself?

I wonder when media literacy will be released from the Halls of Mandos

This is the most ridiculously cute clip. I cannot stop watching it. It’s going onto the Dwarf Telenovela Central Pinterest board for the chapter where Honda gives birth to twins.

I keep thinking about Theoden losing his mind watching these gallopy fluff balls tearing around after the tall elegant mearas. Shadowfax looking down on this cute thing rearing up.

I doubt there are many, if any, physical competitions that humans could generally compare fairly with elves at (for human as a whole, there are of course some human outliers). In general elves are faster, stronger, more agile, have greater toughness and endurance and better coordination, and of course are stronger magically. And they can see and hear better.

The closest matchups would probably between pre-Fall Numenoreans and Silvan elves, even there I don't think I'd bet on the men.

So losing to elves seems expected rather than a sign of failure. Though frankly I can't imagine how elves would be persuaded to play a sport as absurd as American football.

Hi :)) for the fics ask - 💌📡🍭🎈🎀🍉🦋

OMG THATS SO MANY???? i love you anon

ask game

putting a readmore because um. so many questions

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

SHAKES AND WHIMPERS finally someone asks me about my wips............. oh dear oh dear oh dear. Trembling wet and pathetic awkwardly holds out 25 pages of handwritten Mairon apologism covered in blood sweat tears . This is one of those ones that I'm terrified I'm going to be dogpiled over in the fandom because. Silmarillion fandom. Intimidating. This is the first time I've read the book and these bitches are veritable scholars in Arda history and languages. Like they have damn phds. doctarates. I'm just like hi I think he did nothing wrong ever except for all the atrocities and the atrocities were fine because it's international womens day and hes like a woman to me.

Anyway I should. Actually explain them i just I have two things going on one of them is just. Six pages of independent ramblings written all at once fueled by "I just woke up with the sickest ass line of dialogue ever conceived and I need to bring it to justice Right Fucking Now" and the other is what will probably end up being a chapter fic with six or seven chapters though I haven't. Decided what point I'll end it at. I'm two chapters deep and I have tons of motivation rn so hopefully. Things will continue that way because god have I been known to abandon works of that length. (looks at the bond fic) (looks at osamu dazai is dead) (looks a-)

The first mentioned one is well. I think it's just such a funny quirky girl trait of his to have not only founded a human sacrifice death cult but to have gotten it sugar daddy funded by batting his eyelashes at the king of Numenor it's just. Truly wonderful situation and I feel it is not spoken of nearly enough. The basic concept of that snippet is "pov ur defeated enemy/prisoner/mistress/royal advisor's bedroom talk involves apocalyptic sermons dooming you to eternal suffering if you don't worship his dead ex".

The other one is pretty self explanatory and has probably been done a million times, just my take on the untold hashtag "Seduction of Sauron". Basically several chapters of Melkor convincing Mairon to seize the means of production this one is very well. It's not very favorable to the methods and ideas of Eru it is decidedly anti-Eru

📡why is writing and sharing your writing important for fandom?

I mean that's like, half of what fandom is. It's sharing words (both fanfic and headcanons/shitposts/analysis/incorrect quotes etc) and images (art/memes/edits/screencaps etc). We wouldn't really fandom without it.

🍭why did you start writing?

It's really just how my brain works? I can communicate so much better written than out loud. I've literally been writing since before I can remember. Both my parents are writers and my parents tell me I narrated stories out loud to myself at night before I knew how to write on paper. I just. I really liked saying things and telling stories and once I started I pretty much never stopped though of course the writing I did as a first grader was not the same kind that I do now.

🎈describe your style as a writer; is it fixed? does it change?

I mean, as a fanfic writer I always try to make my writing fit the mood of its source material, so there is definitely a lot of variation between say, my lotr fics and my owari no seraph fics. But I know that I do have many qualities of my writing that are recognizable throughout pretty much everything I do. I have a rather pretentious style, and I focus significantly on body language, exaggerated emotion, flowery metaphors, and internal dialogue. But my humorous work does sound pretty different, though I mostly don't do that unless it's for a general audience who I feel insecure being flowery and sincere around.

🎀give yourself a compliment about your own writing

Aww, ok. I mean I think the best thing about my writing is that it fits my personal tastes perfectly. I write 99 percent for myself and the other 1 percent for the six people on the internet who will froth at the mouth over it. I write mostly to articulate and cement my Strong Feelings About Concepts And Ideas and writing them helps me literally understand how I feel about things and what it really is I'm trying to get at. It's an added bonus that other people also like it :)

🍉in what ways has writing helped you process trauma and/or navigate through your own life?

I can't really say I'm a super trauma-ridden individual, though I guess I've had my moments. Mainly writing does for me what I said above. I turn to it to have peace of mind and delve into the concepts that thrill and move me. When I feel overwhelmed and empty and unsatisfied and confused I know it's because I haven't written recently. Maybe thats the autism

🦋what are you most insecure about when you post a fic?

There's always just the general anxiety that it will be seen by the general fandom as uncalled for and cringe. I'm always worried I will be seen as a Fake Intellectual for my pretentious style and often limited knowledge on the source material and I'm worried especially when I enter a new fandom that I'll just be completely off and get 80 billion things wrong. The more I interact with, know about and post for a fandom, the less anxious I get because it's been established people like it and aren't gonna kill me.

This is what stepping into the Silmarillion fandom for the first time looks like

[maironsmaid]

Caranthir is Arda's Ea-nasir

[wheel-of-fandoms]

.... what on (middle) earth is "effeminate" at all about Saruman, Wormtongue or Tom Bombadil???

[ainu-blog-official]

uhuh, an one-off thing. fosho.

ye kno, that tale of urs only made me love aiwendil more. i encountered him once, ya see. & he was- there was this aura to him, like a silly goof w a power beyond any comprehension, see? & while this willow was tryin absorb me to death.(don't ask.) came aiwendil ye see, from some hills, dancing & singing to this "boom bap teel" bumble? & my hero, that one!! girlie talked to the tree, & ye just knew it had to be the aiwendil, who else does trees like that? dressed like some forest mushie lover, speakin in rhyme thru the yellow teeth?? anyway tree spat me out & i was threw writhing like a recently chewed worm; bro laughed, said something abt daisies & fucked off. from that day on!! i love him & shit💍 & i hear he was a catch in his youth. still is imo uwu. he did go on a lot about a goldberry though, wonder what kinda fruit that is - or shroom.

question unrelated, but olorin - what name do u choose were u to grow old in middle-earth? just curious🤠

I think you encountered that strange fellow Iarwain or something, not Aiwendil. Aiwendil is a lot more mischievous, and Iarwain is more on the unhinged side. Goldberry… I’ve heard of her. Let’s just say there was some history involved, not pleasant.

I didn’t know Iarwain was still alive. Last I met him he said he intended to take a long nap on the side of a hilltop and become some sort of rock. Never thought he’d still be kicking around here. I don’t know what he is, but he’s definitely not an ainu.

I think Eru shat him out.

As for your other question, honestly depends on where I’d have settled. But I would never be satisfied, honestly, because Middle-earth doesn’t have weed of quality matching that of Valinor. And most importantly, Curumo and Sauron are here, and I need to shit on em.

Melkor appearing to the newly awakened humans in his sparkly outfit and telling them they could look like him if they became his followers (pun intended) may have been Arda's first ever case of influencer marketing

[acornchangeling]

I'm reading the Silmarillion right now, and it's really interesting to know that, if my elementary school wish to go to Middle Earth had been granted, the Valar would have hated me.

Ungoliant and Melkor just killed Yananna's light trees and you know what? I'm glad. Good riddance to those stupid trees.

Reblogging again, because I got myself a painting app (yay!) and I can't draw but consider:

Not tea, but I think it's funnier this way.

Not "who is the worst objectively", but

Please, if you vote "other", put them in the comments!

So like. Was Túrin jrrt’s trauma OC or....?
