the prison opening, the chain that snaps @arafinweanappreciation - Tumblr Blog

BEHOLD:

The Silmarillion According to me. Illustrated and heavily abridged

If you love the art, please be sure to show your appreciation to the artists! There are art credits at the end where I linked to all of the tumblrs, deviantart pages, websites, etc., that I could find.

I'm also turning off the reblogs for this post because I never expected this to go beyond my living room, and I know most artists don't appreciate their art being reposted or used for edits and such without express permission, so I feel like I'm on thin ice with this.

If you are an artist whose work was included here, and you'd like me to remove it, please let me know! I'll take care of that asap

which of the silm characters were at the club:

- finwë was delighted by the club. unfortunately the concept of the club only began to form after finwë hit the elven equivalent of having to go to bed strictly at 9 pm with a set of your comfiest jammies on. probably clapped his hands and said "how quaint!" when he was invited to the club's opening.

- miriel was too busy being dead to go clubbing.

- fëanor was NOT at the club. are you kidding me? that man had gems to smith. the forge was his club.

- fingolfin was NOT at the club. he was born in an age where the eldar began to develop classism and decided that clubbing is not for the blue-blooded aristocracy. we cannot blame him for being a product of his time.

- you better believe lalwen was clubbing. whispers are still told about her unparralleled moves at the dance floor and somewhat concerning taste for elven tequilla.

- findis did not go to the club, she was too busy making her resume look perfect for ingwë's court.

- finarfin had his first child by the elven equivalent of 20 yo. he was not clubbing.

- finrod was clubbing for the joy of it. he made many a friend at the club. once nargothrond opened its own club, he want disguised as a commonner and as he reminisced of the careless time of his youth he saw visions of death and ruin and floors covered in blood. he did not go clubbing again.

- maglor was HITTING it at the club scene. the best parties were thrown when maglor was around. unfortunately the constant threat of morgoth's destruction kinda stood in the way of establishing a club at Maglor's Gap. you might say it really killed the vibe.

- galadriel did not go to the club because she was too good for the club. she also didn't drink (valid) and had a meticulously plotted out diet tracking her daily protein intake (the most athletic of noldor hitting the gym? unbelievable.) she was really into cottagge cheese for a while. thankfully she grew out of that phase but still didn't go to the club because 1) she was god's favourite princess and 2) as we established earlier, blue-blooded aristocracy did not go to the club.

- beren was too busy being haunted by horrors beyond comprehension to have a chance to explore the local club scene

It was in forgotten years long ago that Eorl the Young brought them out of the North, and their kinship is rather with the Bardings of Dale, and with the Beornings of the Wood, among whom may still be seen many men tall and fair, as are the Riders of Rohan.

corollary to my "between having a north sindarin mother and being raised in the falas, gil-galad probably defaults to a fairly low-prestige dialect of sindarin" and "gil-galad would not have spoken quenya natively, and maybe even not at all prior to the war of wrath" headcanons, I think if/when he finally DOES start speaking quenya, it should sound like the elvish equivalent of peggy hill speaking spanish

#not for lack of ability #it's just that it's the end of the world and he's been king since he was a teenager and he's a little bitter and simply Does Not Care

if I have one singular fandom ambition, it's for people to think of me as the person who has cool ideas about orodreth's unnamed wife/finduilas and gil-galad's mother.

i recognize that this would require actually posting about her, which I have done VERY little of. but I promise this will change dramatically once i've actually started posting btmats

#if I was known for that and for finduilas & gil-galad sibling posting (which I need to get back to) then my dreams would all be fulfilled #still working on btmats btw. it keeps getting longer. and more complex. and ambitious.#currently estimating that the first draft will sit around 100k words. we'll see how much I end up editing it down. or if I add! who knows

As a Boromir lover what is you thoughts on Faramir? The lesser brother.

I thought Denethor died, but here he is sending me asks

httpshayley

I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king.

aroacebaggins-art

Hi! Could I request aro, ace, or aroace Nellas for the pride month drawings? Thanks!!

Ooh good one

I had fun with this one she has garden fairy vibes.

I think I have as many pride reqs as I can get done this month, but if I do finish them all I'll open it up again. Thank you to everyone who has sent one!

Pfp version below

Tolkien basically invented the DnD party of elves and dwarves and wizards, but in his greed he made every single one of them a bard as well.

galadriel getting back to aman and insisting to her entire family that she should now be counted as the oldest sibling because the amount of time finrod spent in the halls was exactly one (1) year greater than their age difference, and therefore, technically speaking, she's been alive for longer

#does she really believe this? no #does she enjoy being able to troll finrod again? yes. immeasurably

i know arvernien is supposed to be covered in reeds, and is in all probability a salt marsh, in which river cane would not do well, but I'm sorely tempted to alter some of my worldbuilding for The Fic and base the havens on a canebrake

#but. it is ultimately a fantasy world. maybe there's an estuarial species in beleriand #might not even have to alter all that much tbh??? need to do more research but i suspect river cane has many of the same uses as reeds #and is honestly probably better for them considering how ridiculously strong and dense it apparently is

some sketches I made for this Finrod comic that didn't make the cut! the parallels still get me though :')

valacirya

When Elladan and Elrohir are born, seabirds flock to Imladris, leaving colorful crystals and pearls outside the nursery. Gil-estel shines brighter than ever before and stays fixed in the sky above the hidden valley until dawn.

Celebrian hangs her law-mother's gifts over the twins' crib and Elrond takes them outside, wrapped cozily in the softest Numenorean wool, to look at his father's star.

thelien-art

Your pride requests every year are such a gift to the fandom! Your art is a MVP in keeping posts rolling on @aspecardaweek year round. 🥰 I know you've done aroace Gil-galad before with the sunset flag, would you be willing to do him again with the purple and green flags color scheme? Thank you!

I always change his hair from straight to curly XD

Celebrate Pride with me

I am doing a stupid presentation and need a picture of every staircase in the lord of the rings films, I will happily send the finished presentation to anyone who helps

In order: Bag End, Orthanc, Moria

Lothlorien, Lothlorien

Lothlorien, Lothlorien, Amon Hen

Meduseld, Helms Deep

raointean

Minas Tirith, Cirith Ungol

Watchtower of Cirith Ungol, Minas Tirith

@raointean @tehcherrya

Here is the promised slideshow! Your images were instrumental for figuring out the height of various things. I didn’t do all the staircases, but I did a lot of them! Presentation is best viewed (and really only legible) in presentation mode :)

LORD OF THE RINGS We all know it, we all love it. We all see the staircases those characters climb and wonder…

whosthatsilmcharacter

Some more Tolkien fandom nerdery for anyone who still has their notifications on

earendil-was-a-mariner

Peter Jackson: Hey, I need you to play Cirdan the Shipwright. He’s the oldest and one of the wisest elves in Middle Earth. He has one of the great rings of power.

Some actor: Hey, that’s awesome. He’s clearly a main character rig-

PJ: He’s in the movie for 10 seconds with no lines

#vs. mark ferguson who initially was at least going to get gil-galad's death scene before it was scrapped for being too gruesome lol
