Gil Galad's chief councilors and source of headaches.

i'm a big sucker for a diegetic piece of art/literature serving as a mirror to the story's characters, so naturally the illustration of the poem about a silverleaf tree falling in love with a star from chapter 47 of WHA *had* to be redrawn as Qifrey and Oru ✨🍃

tip jar!

aaand a rotated version under the cut for easier Oru appreciation!

MELKOR!!!

Or, as he appears in A Fistfight With Fire.

Bilbo takes the Arkenstone, knowing it's a theft against his friend, but then he takes it to the Elvenking and gives it to him for peace. And then Thranduil follows his example to trade it back to Thorin, for peace. Mirrors of Feanor and the Nauglamir and I don't even know what else because I'm not that well up on the First Age - but brought into being by one little hobbit standing at the brink of other people's wars.

And then it builds a path toward the fate of the Third Age. Because if Bilbo hadn't been able to renounce the Arkenstone then, I don't see how he would have escaped the Ring sixty years later.

Maybe I'll call it "...the world ahead" but I'm not sure yet. I just realised the other day that I've carved 18 small linocuts so far, which I think is quite a lot!

Not really a smug Maglor, but I felt like doing a sexy one 👀

Details about the items below:

A silver pen: An old-fashioned quill made entirely of silver, etched with strange markings all over. There is no ink, but as soon as you press the nib to paper, your ideas flow across the page. They are exactly as you envision them, without any flaw.

A mysterious watch: A gold pocket watch whose face bears many hands and no numbers. Pressing the fob causes time to instantly stop. Pressing the fob a second time causes time to return to normal. You can only use it once every 24 hours, but there is no limit to how long the pause is.

An antique key: It looks like the kind of key that would open a treasure chest or a castle door. You can use it anywhere to open a door to a pocket dimension. The dimension changes every visit , but you always find what you need—rest, inspiration, materials, etc.

A USB drive: It looks and operates like a normal thumb drive. But you soon realize that it has infinite storage capacity. You also realize that it is indestructible and impossible to loose.

A ring: It appears to be made of some sort of stone or metal, black and polished to a mirror finish. Once on your finger (any finger, for it fits all of them perfectly), you find that all attempt to steal your work fail, and everyone that uses an AI algorithm within your immediate vicinity finds their data has become corrupted.
