Little Noldo Princess ✨

aka i've finally succumbed to drawing one of my most self indulgent oc's lol 😅, the youngest child and only daughter of Feanor and Nerdanel. Born many years after Amros and Amrod, she was a surprise baby (if elves can even have surprise pregnancies idk) and is considerably younger than her 7 older brothers. She is also not coincidentally the absolute apple of they and her father's eye. She has them all completely wrapped around her little finger (nerdanel being the only one capable of reigning her in lol, which results in Nerd having to be the disciplinary parent here haha)

anyway--i have lots of arts/ideas to draw for her and especially her interacting with her brothers/family and big cousins :)

[hobbityalse]

probably the funniest thing i ever did as a kid was try to convince anyone who'd listen to me infodump about my favorite media that my ocs were actual canon characters in the story and then if they expressed genuine interest in checking it out i'd panic and be like no you Can't and just never speak to them again

The Women Of Oropher's House:

Winduirost:

Wife of Oropher and mother of Thranduil.

Name means “Windy Rain” in Sindarin. She was called this due to her gray eyes.

Daughter of Tauraear (“Vast Ocean”) and Erinmidh (“Morning-Dew”).

Was sister to an elder brother named “Duinlung” (“Riverbend”) and a younger sister called “Loebnen” (“Fresh-Water). Along with their parents, both Duinlung and Loebnen would be killed during an Orc attack in the First Age 585. Winduirost was the sole survivor when Oropher had managed to rescue her.

Married Oropher in the First Age 588 and made the move to Mirkwood with him.

Had the unique trait of having golden-blonde hair. This may be the result of a Vanyar or Noldor ancestor.

Winduirost didn’t think highly of the Silvans of Mirkwood. This was why she was against Thranduil marrying her handmaiden, Lisselote.

When Oropher gave Thranduil and Lisselote his blessing to their engagement, a petty Winduirost gave Lisselote dozens of hard tasks to prove her worth.

When Oropher perished during the War Of The Last Alliance, Winduirost would soften her harsh judgment thanks to Lisslote’s kindness towards the grieving queen.

Sailed to the Undying Lands in the Third Age 87, shortly after the birth of her grandson, Legolas.

Despite (somewhat) softening her cold disposition, it still didn’t stop Winduirost’s initial objection to Legolas’s romance with the Wingildi, Nenselde. Though, in Winduirost’s defense, she had more legit reasons.

Lisselote:

Wife of Thranduil and mother of Legolas.

Name means “Honey-Blossom” due to having honey-blonde hair.

Daughter of Malinurin (“Yellow-Sun”) and Tuilevire (“Spring Rose”).

Had a younger sister named “Incadaisime” (“Small Daisy”).

Was a hand-maiden to Queen Winduirost when Lisselote became acquainted with Thranduil.

Married Thranduil in the Second Age 3500. They were engaged back in 3429 but they were forced to halt the wedding due to the War Of The Last Alliance breaking out.

Was given the White Gems Of Lasgalen as a wedding gift from Winduirost on the late Oropher’s behalf.

During an Orc attack on Mirkwood, Lisselote was kidnapped by the enemy and taken to Angmar where she’d be tortured to death. 

Her untimely demise was sacrificial as the Orcs were trying to find and kill the then-infant Legolas. Little did they know Lisselote had given Legolas to her maid-servants who were already protecting the other Mirkwood Elflings (including little Tauriel).

This Orc siege had also cost the lives of Tuileveire and Incadaisime. As for Malinurin, he had already died during the War Of The Last Alliance.

Nenselde:

Wife of Legolas and mother of Marillalote.

Is the very last of all the Wingildi (“Foam-Maidens”) to have been created. 

Name means “Sea-Child” in Sindarin.

Unlike the Wingildis, she was made with the tear of Nienna. As a result, she was made and grew as an Elf child rather than a grown adult like her sisters. Yet, the other side-effect was that Nenselde was prone to grief and depression.

When Nenselde was a small, Elf child, she was given to Osse and Uinen to raise along with Wingildis.

By the time she turned 200-years-old, the now adult Nenselde would be so overwhelmed with her depression that she left her family for seclusion within the Bay Of Belfalas.

As much as she loved her family, Nenselde forbade herself from returning to them. The likes of Gandalf and Cirdan even tried to talk with her but whenever that arrived at Belfalas, a nervous Nenselde would hide away from them.

For centuries, Nenselde would be all alone at the bay until the Fourth Age arrived. From the Fourth Age 190-220, she would have mysterious visions of Prince Legolas Of Mirkwood. From all of these shared visions, the two would grow romantically close.

Yet, as Nenselde longed to be with Legolas and his friends in the Undying Lands, she was still torn with the Bay Of Belfalas. 

To make matters worse, their shared dreams would be corrupted by an evil force, the Dark Tree Cult that also made both Legolas and Nenselde undergo a deadly coma.

Still, by the Fourth Age 221, Nenselde would finally leave the Bay Of Belfalas and wed Legolas to the joy of Gimli Gloinul, Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Gandalf The White along with Thranduil and Winduirost.

Marillalote, Legolas and Nenselde’s daughter, would be born shortly after the wedding in the Fourth Age 225.

Marillalote:

Name means “Pearl-Blossom” in Quenya.

Was going to be called just "Marilla" but Legolas wanted to pay homage to his late mother.

Born in Tol Eressea, an island of the Undying Lands.

Thanks to having Gimli Gloinul as her godfather, she’s prone to having a Dwarf-like personality; adventurous, strong-willed, along with being able to forge and wield an ax. This is why she’s often called “Dwarf-Kin”.

Also, like a Dwarf, Marillalote is knowledgeable on mining and jewelry-making.

Godmother was Legolas’s childhood friend, Tauriel.

As a Wingildi on her mother’s side, Marillalote inherited the ability to sing wildly.

By the time Marillalote was 20 (seven in Elf years), Gimli, Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee would all pass on peacefully.

Would eventually marry Elenimir (“Star-Jewel"), grandson of Elboron (son of Faramir and Eowyn) and his wife, Alasse (daughter of Aragorn and Arwen) in the Fourth Age 500. 

Elenimir and Marillalote would later have two sons and two daughters.

That's just me deciding things in advance 🤫

But.

Let's say I'm planning a multi chapter fic that will follow the events of the Hobbit trilogy 👀

AND IM LOOKING FOR A TITLE, OKAY??

I won't be dropping any details.

It's a Thorin x fem!reader thing but with a twist. Maybe she'll be an OC.

This is also your chance to message me or leave a comment so that I can tag you in this particular fic (that isn't happening soon)

[growingingreenwood]

In the chap3 of No Other Choice, it begins with Thranduil and Ferdan arguing. Is there a specific reason why they are arguing, and so constantly as a matter of fact? Thank youu :))

There is a specific reason they were fighting ALL OF THE TIME! They were fighting about at what age they should let the Legolas, Farlen, Avaleina, and to a certain extent Eloissa and Tern join Greenwoods Military. They had so many arguments since the elfling's coming of Age Ceremonies were all fast approaching and everybody knew the second they were considered an 'adult' by elvish standards that they'd all want to join the fight for their people and their home.

Thranduil would let them join younger than Ferdan wanted because Thranduil thinks that if they DONT let them join (close) to when they want to, they will channel their energy, skills, and determination to do something to help into less constructive channels. He thinks that if they let them join the military, they'll be able to keep them in the lower ranks and close to home until they're older.

Ferdan's almost positive that if they let the elflings join when they want to, it wont matter WHAT Thranduil and Ferdan want, they wont give them a choice to do anything but move them higher up in the ranks. Maybe at first they could stop it, but not for long. They're too good. They could have already graduated from their training years ago but weren't simply due to their ages. He wants them to join later, when they're older, so that they can be 'kids' longer. He thinks the second they join the miliary they'll be gone. That they'll do everything and anything possible so be anything and everything that the world needs them to be, with little (if any) thought about what they need from themselves.

In hindsight, Ferdan was right.

[polyamarhousgarden]

"Sindri is dead."

"How could you possibly know that?"

"I felt my soul die with her."

It's sad Apharchlalaithon hours qwq

When Sindri died, Apharchlalaithon was just asleep and it felt like he suffocated and was stabbed in the chest the moment he felt her death.

He was warned by Celephiel that that would happen were he to bind himself to a mortal.

Still, he did not expect it to hurt to the point of paralysing him.

“Harfoots of the first age suffered greatly”

Over the past few months, I've been forming a rough idea on hobbits (harfoots) who lived not just in early third age or second age like “Rings Of Power” likes to believe, but actually are much more ancient, descending from the first age. I have built around a culture that they would have, stemming from what I know of Tolkien's already written history of harfoots, and I would like to go even further. On more of the fine details, their culture, how they affected the first age and why they were written out of history. This will be a series of meta posts, and this is part one of five that I have planned. This will be focusing on the rough outline of their history, to get people interested before I go into what their folklore was, how their migrations worked, some of their notable figures, there culture and customs.

Before I continue I would like to mention that this is not about “Rings Of Power “portrayal” of Harfoots, this is completely my worldbuilding and culture creation. also these are only headcanons, not canon.

Anyway, let's get to it!

The Harfoots resided in Beleriand, long before the Noldor returned from Aman, and none knew where they came from. They lived in Thargelion, living in the tall grass that grew there. It was flat, with protruding mounds, so that you could have a clear view of Lake Helvorn and the blue mountains. They lived as the hobbits of the shire did, with the same concept as holes underground, but less sophisticated. These holes were like gainat ground squirrel holes, dug directly in the dirt, straight down and not in the side of hill. Their walls were made of packed grass and soil, building a technique to keep the soft mound from caving in by learning to take great stones and roll them with their wagons all the way from the lake bed of Helvorn. Which became heavily ingrained in their culture to live in holes, a longest ancestral tradition.

 Their society was built on surviving, nothing was audaciously adorned, everything was to be used to hide from morgoth's spies. As they were built on highlands of a plateau, they had access to upperground which allowed them to hide for longer.In fact, none knew they existed until the first rising of the sun and moon, when dwarves discovered them. At first they thought them faeries, and were wary of them, before it gave way to eager friendship between the two peoples, who were both very different and alike.

They were semi nomadic pastoralists, who relied heavily on trade with the dwarves, who raised sheep and gathered food in trade for metal pots, wool, clothing and other things that helped their colony to continue surviving. They had many places to set up throughout Thargelion, all the way to the first river of Ossiriand. They would have seasonal migrations from the plains to the  entrances of great Dwarf-holds to keep their sheep warm for the winter, where they would be sheared and clothing would be made. They would have a main village near the greater gelion, where the early “smials” were created.

When Caranthir took rule of Thargelion, the hobbits did not pay homage to him. It was a large area, and not populated by elven settlements throughout the middle part, and seldom could he find the small smials, or even care to look for them. Only when they were travelling with dwarves on the dwarf road would they have to pay for access.(I’m sure the dwarves had a few ways to cheat the harfoots out of paying the tax, Like hiding them in their wagons.) and Carnthir, though interested in their lore, paid them no mind.

The hobbits too were relatively safe, at the time. Carnthir and his troops patrolled the borders of Thargelion, so it was not often that an orc battalion would slip through. Rarely did they ever find the hobbits, for they were good at hiding, and defences strong from what the dwarves crafted for them. If they were truly attacked, the dwarves and sometimes spare elves would come to their aid if they were near, but it hardly came to that.

With the cross community of Dwarves-Hobbits often mixing with each other, there were many cases of Dwobbits (dwarf-hobbits) being made. Though few since dwarves tend not to find their “one” outside their race. This caused different sects of hobbits, which would later breed back into the harfoot race, but caused slight physical differences which would lead their clan to be called the Stoors, who could grow beards.

In their culture, food was valued highly, for it meant survival. They had many rituals for when the first berry of the spring began to show, and sang songs when winter came to brush it all to frost. Those who heard the singing from the harfoots said it was an enchanting thing, eldritch and unique, but haunting nonetheless. Usually their musical instruments would involve wooden flutes, drums and tiny bells they would put around their ankles to make noise when they danced. Their songs were fast-paced with many interpretations with imitating chirps of birds and crickets that dwelt with them.

 The hobbits suffered gravely, but near the time Carnthir came to Thargelion, they were relatively safe. Carnthir and his troops patrolled the borders, so it was not often that an orc battalion would slip through. Rarely did they ever find the hobbits, for they too  were good at hiding and concealment, their defences strong from the sturdiness of dwarves. If they were truly attacked, the dwarves and sometimes spare elves would come to their aid if they were near, but it hardly came to that.

Harfoots were traditionally skinnier than hobbits of the third age which is why the beauty standard for hobbits was to be chubby or plump. It showed them that being big was comfort and safety, being skinny took them back to the primal fear of starving, and once they didn't have to worry about it, they were able to see being plump as beautiful and meant you were well off.  Their clothing also reflected their surroundings. Though the dwarven style of clothing lended for brighter colours, they found ways to dye it to more natural/neutral colours that they would be able to hide better in the grass. By then they were able to make their own clothing much easier than before, and everyone at least had several pairs. They build nets covered in leaves, so that if they ever needed to hide, they would go under it and blend in to their surroundings.

However, their race would be utterly desecrated. In the Dagor Ballgorach, Galrung and his army came down from Angband and set the harfoots' world on fire. The dwarves did not come in time, and when they did, they were harshly beaten back. Many settlements of the harfoots were turned to ash, most of Thargelion and their ancestral migration roads were destroyed. Only a dozen family groups survived, and taking all they had left, took the dwarf road and crossed along the mountains of Ascar and passed through Sarn Athrad where they only stopped once to replenish supplies with the Dwarves of Nogrod. They did not stay long, for the harfoots were more close with the dwarves of Belegost, and these ones were less generous.Then they left the underground and continued past the blue mountains and into middle earth. The second age begins for them, and lead a hunter-gathering lifestyle until the fallohides  lead them to where the sects of hobbits would separately settle, in the northern regions of Middle-earth in the early first age.

It is said that hobbits only entered the history of men until the third age. It is a common misconception that hobbits didn't exist until the third age. This could be because they were not notable in any way during the last two ages, but I think they were very prominent in ancient dwarves' history, like in the kingdoms of Nogord, Belegost and other ancient dwarven kingdoms. Considering the closely connected cultures, it would be realistic. However I believe that these were written history, and most of the records were destroyed by dragon fire in the kingdom's fall, only to be forgotten orally by dwarves who later did not see the hobbits for centuries after since they moved all over the place in the second age.

Feel free to leave me questions in my ask box, I want to be challenged on creating this society, and I’m always in need of more ideas that can help corporate into a realistic looking culture. 

For my next few posts, I’ll be focusing on their Folkore containing elves and men, and some Ocs that helped with cultivating their society, the most famous being Razo Thorn foot who was eloped to a dwarf lord of Belegost, otherwise known as Azghal.

You should talk about antar from dnd on here due to they are neat

FINE but only if you finally run that gondolin campaign and give me an excuse to PLAY THEM AGAIN (threat (affectionate))

okay!! so antar is one of two (2) tolkien ocs i have, both made for d&d purposes. they’re a character i made for a fall of gondolin one-shot game that jaz ran one time. being a fall of gondolin one-shot, the idea was that we were all going to die horribly, it was really just a matter of how.

something that should probably be known about me: i keep wanting to make d&d characters to have get killed off dramatically, but i literally never can, because i get way too fucking attached to them.

so therefore, this is fun, right! i get to make a fun little doomed character, they get to die horribly, i am not going to have them long-term so it literally doesn’t matter!! blorbo for my torture!!

i rolled antar up like an hour, not even, before this game. i chose everything about them to be about as doomed as possible. i even gave them the oathsworn background!!! and, at jaz’s absolutely evil suggestion, to which i went oh that would be SO bad for them,

i had them swear two oaths.

one, they are oathsworn to turgon, to protect gondolin at all costs.

two, they are oathsworn in complete and absolute loyalty to maeglin.

(over the two hours in question, i would come to frequently and almost exclusively refer to maeglin as “my son, who is also my boss.”)

i spent the entire two hours wondering how, exactly, this was going to play out, which oath they were going to inevitably break, what they would do when confronted with what maeglin had done.

well.

antar sees maeglin on the cliff with earendil.

drops literally everything to try to get to him immediately.

gets there, and realizes that morgoth has done something to his mind.

tries at first to convince him that he’s safe, that they’ll protect him from literal morgoth himself if they must.

and when that fails.

declares that they will prove that he is safe.

and immediately breaks their oath to the entire city to defend maeglin, genuinely believing that they could save him, and save everyone.

understandably, they then immediately took twenty shadow points at once, in a game where straight-up murder makes you take five, and then naturally proceeded to die falling off of said cliff.

also understandably, they then immediately proceeded to make me insane about them forever.

several weeks later, they would still be living in my brain enough for me to decide that, as a member of turgon’s guard, they bore extremely direct witness to eol’s attempted murder of maeglin/successful murder of aredhel, and probably also eol’s subsequent execution. they were extremely affected by watching a child lose both of his parents in one of the most traumatizing ways possible and just. sorta decided that anything this kid needs, they’re there for. truly i do not want to backstory build deeper than that until i get to play them more, because it’s more fun for me if things come up naturally, but they’re an absolute thembo ridden with a deep and unshakable responsibility complex who has just absolutely mentally adopted this poor kid. they’re the house of the mole’s secretary. they’re a polite ball of sunshine. they will kill for you if they love you. and now jaz uses them whenever maeglin needs to have a secretary in fics, which is truly the highest honor.

and @ jaz for asking me this, actually let me play them more i WILL break into your apartment and start getting the dice out myself this is a THREAT <3
