“Gil-galad was an elven king…”

The autumn colors 10 days ago were perfect for my Gil-galad cosplay, especially the cloak.

So I know y'all going to choose Cala – and therefore he is NOT in this poll

Yes yes – am evil

I don't care 😈😈😈

With that being said:

Secret other option : you're mad I didn't put Cala here 😭😂

Once again thinking about the “Tolkien elves are physically superior to humans in every way” thing as a disability parallel

Tolkien describing Elvish woman: The Lady was beautiful and pale with long silver hair and wore some kind of flowing garnment. anyway back to the men

Me: ok cool she sounds pretty can I hear more about her-

Tolkien describing Elvish man: FINDOR SON OF FINLOTH WAS SO FAIR AND GRAVE THAT THE SWANS DID HIS BIDDING. HE WAS TALL AND STRONG AND WIELDED A HUNTING KNIFE. HIS DARK HAIR FLOWING IN THE WIND, HE TOOK A LAST STAND AT THE PEAK OF MORGOTH'S SEX DUNGEON WHERE HIS GOLDEN-HAIRED ELVEN COMPANION HAD LONG FALLEN PREY TO THE DARK LORD'S WILES

Me: ok so you're going through a lot. I get it. It's fine my man

Sauron burning through Middle Earth in the Second Age, inspired by medieval millefleur tapestries and Tolkien's watercolor painting of Sauron

When burning to death in a fiery chasm isn't even the worst thing that's happened to you

Elf names got more complicated as parents strove to create new ones instead of handling the political whiplash of reusing an old one. So if you meet an elf called ‘silver-river-water-voice’ they’re pretty young, but if some guy says ‘hi I’m Tree’ you best believe that bitch is ancient.

Ambarussa with some danger looming above.

J r r Tolkien reading the Bible being like “I gotta write one of these”

[alasse-earfalas]

I don't know half of Tolkien lore half as well as I should like, and I've studied less than half of it half as much as it deserves.
