Nay, time does not tarry ever, but change and growth is not in all things and places alike. For the Elves the world moves, and it moves both very swift and very slow.

Sauron

Cruelty that was born from rejection. Cruelty that was driven by perfectionism. The fear. The need. The love.

Here's a Mairon fanart because I just love him so much! 💖

Due to Tevildo's existence in early texts I headcanon that Mairon is beloved by cats. Eregion was home to many of them, and all of them longed to be his companion. So Annatar had some serious trouble avoiding the constant feline attention.

This is postcanon, TEAlegendAU. Should be the 4th Age but since Dagorrath happened early it’s actually Arda Healed. Mairon has gone through a 5-thousand-years-long redemption arc, and has been forgiven. Eregion is rebuilt. Things are good now.

Elrond Peredhel (dead wife montage edition)

1/2 of my offerings for @celrondweek is this fanwork-of-a-fanwork, a portrait of elrond as i picture him in the years start coming and they don't stop coming by @i-am-a-lonely-visitor ie the celrond of all celronds, which had the exact same foundational and formative impact on mid-twenties me as realising my favourite barbie was but a pumice stone session away from fitting into my favourite ken's clothes (i named them ben) was on 6-year-old me. anyway you know when you read a fic and you see someone write a character so remarkably and you're just like YOU GET IT. YOU GET THIS FUCKER. that is visitor's series for me. both elrond and celebhîr, but this one is elrond's moment. my little princess man, the dead wife in his husband's dead wife montage (yes i know elrond is technically alive but does elrond-in-late-third-age really count as alive the man would flap off the terrace in his slutty grief corset if even 0.005 more teaspoons of sorrow entered him), as imagined by celebhîr in aman.
