Curumo / The music of the Ainur

Since the begining Curumo has contemplated his role in the music. He had sung with Aule but the discord had swept him up in confusion until he could hear nothing else. Then in his desperation he joined in. He keeps this to himself. He tries to make sense of what it means for him to be marred like this and opposes Melkor even more fiercely. As he worries his thoughts take shapes of many colors.

Happy Pride day everyone!

Saruman calls himself Saruman of many colors, yet his coat never flashed any pride flag in particular… Then I decided to dye it of eight different flags for eight different sexualities.

This is rather specific and I only know about gays, trans, pans and bis, so I expect you to spill some hate/complaints on the reblogs or messages.

Hope you like it!

This is a Wander over Yonder post, but I immediately thought of Saruman of Many Colors, as he became known after joining Sauron.

He wasn't a hippy in any sense of the word. But whenever he comes up, I always end up imagining Sir Christopher Lee in a Tie Dye Cloak, playing Hacky Sack with the Palantir.

I am blanking what's the name of that guy? The evil guy who went hippie?

Anyone read Lord of the Rings and remember how Saruman went from Saruman the White to Saruman of the Many Colors because he started to manipulate each individual in specific ways that applied to just that person?

And his downfall was he tried to weave his web of lies and individually manipulate each person in the group from Helm's Deep, but his cunning words to Theoden made Wormtongue realize he was being lied to this whole time and he got so mad he stabbed Saruman in the back and threw him off the tower?

idk it's giving Kaboodle.

In the book Saruman says that with the extra power of Sauron he won't be just Saruman the White, but the Saruman of Many Colors

I imagined him dressing like this, and I couldn't stop chuckling

How & Why Did Aulë’s Students Turn to Evil? (Sauron & Saruman) | Lord of the Rings Lore | The Broken Sword

Today, I look at one of the greatest teachers from the Legendarium of Tolkien's world, Aule, the Smith! Who were Aulë's students? What makes them different? Did he do something wrong? Were there others who were indirectly inspired by him?

for your wip ask gane you know I have to ask abt tangled!

Tangled!! I had SO much fun reading the Rapunzel works for our fairy tale series with the book club recently, because I was constantly thinking either "oh I was thinking it could be *this*" or, "that's a great idea!" 😅 I updated my wip doc on that one a few times that week! I developed the idea to submit as an option in our rather doomed Writing Round Robin project last year, but it was just too vibrant and complete to totally set aside!

Belladonna Baggins craves adventure, so much so she simply must go on one last jaunt before she and Bungo settle down and start their family. Alone in the wilds, she encounters a battle between desperate orcs and fierce dwarrow. One of the orcs drops a glittering stone that Belladonna snatches up without even thinking. When an orc then swings its blade at her chest, it strikes the stone and an explosion of light sends them all flying. When she wakes, all the orc and dwarrow are seemingly dead and she steals away alone, thankful to be done with her last adventure. When her darling Bilbo is born seven months later with full, silvery hair that sparkles like a gem, she knows that he's been chosen for a fate far grander than any Hobbit before, and she despairs. Stolen from his family as a young faunt but raised thinking he was given over to be a ward in "protective custody" to the imposing wizard Saruman, Bilbo lives alone in the tall White Tower of Elostirion with only a sentient stone golem named Pal to care for him. Located deep in the wilds of Westmarch, the White Towers stand on the Tower Hills overlooking the Shire below, where Bilbo longs to go and see the villages that sparkle in the distance, and especially to see the explosions of color and light that occur on a particular day every autumn.

Despite his isolation and the cold nature of the wizard, Bilbo grows to be loving and kind, though desperately starved for affection. He is never allowed to cut his beautiful hair which glows like moonlight, silver and luminous, glinting with all the colors of the rainbow. His hair possesses strange powers which the wizard covets jealously and studies intensively on his regular visits. With only his many books and his faithful stone guardian to keep him company, Bilbo dreams of adventure and the outside world, though he's been raised to believe that the world is dangerous and all races would want to possess his magic hair, to his ruin.

One day a dwarrow Prince scales his tower and Bilbo promptly knocks him out with a frying pan, before making a tentative truce and accepting his aid to escape. Bilbo learns to embrace the world outside his tower and the motley crew of dwarrow who follow Thorin Oakenshield, exiled Prince of the distant kingdom of Erebor, which is under a terrible curse since the loss of the Arkenstone. A prophecy predicted that the curse would be broken when the bearer of the mountain's heart was brought to her gates, and so Thorin has vowed not to return without the stone. Plus, his grandfather has tried to have them all assassinated so really it's better not to go back until things can be settled. Thorin, his widowed sister and her sons, and a loyal following have settled in Ered Luin while Thorin sets out on his quest. His father and brother remained in Erebor in an effort to temper the actions of her mad king. Bonus: Thorin tries to braid Bilbo's ridiculous amount of hair but it's so much that he has to have Fili and Kili help him. He ends up lending Bilbo a sky blue hood with a silver tassel to keep his hair under wraps while they're out and about. The dwarves all lose their mind a little over so much sparkly beautiful hair the color of living mithril, but when it's eventually lost they see it as a battle scar and respect him even more. Erebor Never Fell, No One Ring AU cause we ain't got time for dragons or cursed rings, we have hair to braid!
