@aspecardaweek​ day three ✦ boromir + across the a-spectrum

So time drew on to the War of the Ring, and the sons of Denethor grew to manhood. Boromir, five years the elder, beloved by his father, was like him in face and pride, but in little else. Rather he was a man after the sort of King Eärnur of old, taking no wife and delighting chiefly in arms; fearless and strong, but caring little for lore, save the tales of old battles.

-JRR Tolkien, The Return of the King, “Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers: Eriador, Arnor, and the Heirs of Isildur”

[ID: A moodboard headcanoning Boromir as aroace. It is comprised of nine images in shades of blue and gold, meant to echo the colors of the aroace flag.

1: Prabhas, an Indian actor with wavy dark hair, light brown skin, a beard and mustache, and a troubled or surprised expression. He is wearing leather armor with gold detailing, gold earrings, and has a few cuts and streaks of dirt on his body / 2: Pale yellow text on a dark blue background reading “don’t be so hard on yourself / 3: Someone wearing golden armor and carrying a helmet / 4: Blue, gold, and white stone / 5: A hall with an arching blue ceiling coffered in gold and patterned with stars. A few large windows are visible / 6: A cyanotype of wildflowers / 7: Tree branches against against a blurred yellow background / 7: Dark blue fabric with gold braid / Prabhas, this time wearing a leather helmet and looking to the left with a focused, serious expression. There is a red symbol painted between his eyebrows /End ID]

Aredhel x Galadriel for @awesomevictoriau !!

[spinningalbinoturtle]

Been listening to the Queer Lodgings Podcast-a must listen for any Lotr fan. In just one episode I’ve learned that

-Gay sex was very common during WW1

-Tolkien was a big fan of WH Auden’s book in which he talks about glory holes

-Tolkien did in fact write smut and it was never published! #releasethetolkiensmut

-The original ending of Lotr HAD SAM AND FRODO LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER TOGETHER!

-Canon genderfluid Valar

[milesasinmorales]

I adore that queer fans of The Lord Of The Rings have made a space for ourselves in this fandom. It’s beautiful. I have seen so many beautiful queer metas, fanfic, fanart and so. so. much. more. It’s just so amazing I love it. We’ve made a space where we might not otherwise be welcome (jrrt was a very religious Christian) and made it our own. So fuck yea, lotr is gay because we say it is!

GALADRIEL X MELIAN

[ID: An edit consisting of 6 graphics. They are mainly green and silver, alternating between the two. On the three "green" images, text reads "Galadriel & Melian"

1: A forest / 2: Two women, in a pond, with their eyes closed / 3: A person holding a silver orb / 4: Green Gems / 5: A woman standing by a lake, covered by a translucent veil through which only her outline is seen / 6: An artificial flower, with translucent white petals /End ID]

[themysterytrip]

Inspired by @naruthandir here are some of my favorite pairings, made on Picrew!

1. Frodo and Sam

2. Túrin and Beleg

3. Lesbian Aragorn and Arwen

[solmarillion]

"twink sauron isn't canon" so true. i personally think sauron should be chubby and have a squishy face and boopable cheeks while also kissing celebrimbor. so glad we agree

Sapphic Tolkien Creator List

A collection of creators and their Sapphic works for the Tolkien fandom. This list was born out of the frustration of a lack of sapphic and wlw content (trans and non-binary inclusive) preferably created by sapphics and how, when created, it doesn't get any traction.

If you know of any creators that aren't on this list, please tag me at either @elithilanor or @creativity-of-death on their work so I can add them to the list below! If you’re on the list but I missed some of your creations that are sapphic, please tag me on them so I can add them!

Support your queer and fandom communities, so let's start here!

@aspecardaweek​ day two ✦ tar-ancalimë + aromanticism 

“They met thus in the pastures often and often, and he altered the songs of the lovers of old and brought into them the names of Emerwen and Mámandil; and Ancalimë feigned not to understand the drift of the words. But at length he declared his love for her openly, and she drew back, and refused him, saying that her fate lay between them, for she was the Heir of the King.”

-JRR Tolkien, Unfinished Tales, “The Mariner’s Wife”

[ID: A picspam headcanoning Tar-Ancalimë as aromantic, consisting of 16 images in green, grey, black, and white (the colors of the aromantic flag).

1: Malika El Maslouhi, a moroccan-italian model with brown skin, dark and wavy hair, and dark eyes. She is looking up at the viewer with a serious expression and is wearing a black shirt. Green leaves fill the background / 2: A carved stone niche / 3: Lightning in a dark sky / 4: Sheep grazing on a hillside / 5: Marbled green, white, and brown / 6: Black text on a light grey background reading “may god have mercy on my enemies ‘cause i won’t” / 7: Black columns with ornate drawings or carvings in a traditional egyptian style / 8: Malika El Maslouhi looking through a sheer green cloth / 9: Malika El Maslouhi standing in front of translucent sheeting and looking at a stem of red flowers. She is wearing a brown coat with a high collar and her hair is tucked into it / 10: A multi-exposure shot of a crescent moon which appears doubled several times / 11: Foaming waves / 12: A river running through a green valley / 13: Green fabric with sequins / 14: Many candlesticks, some with candles and some without, standing in front of a silvery curtain / 15: Black text on a grey background reading “don’t play games with a girl who can play better” / 16: Malika El Maslouhi, looking intently at some strands of grass in her hands. She is wearing black and white gloves and a black shirt, and is backed by green leaves /End ID]
