almost a year ago i got an old sewing frame and some cool tools when a bookbinder's workshop closed down – and now I finally found the time and energy to give it a try!

instead of sewing hooks I got a few turnbuckles at a fraction of the price and they work just as well. and after years of struggling with straightedge&knife I also found a better way of cutting the block: using a putty knife!

all things considered i'm quite happy with the result

#book binding #i got two ploughs from the workshop too #but i can't FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out how they were used #these are NOT normal book ploughs #i even asked the guy there about them and he didn't know either #i guess they served some other arcane purpose?#alas the leather isn't real iirc it's a paper&natural rubber mix

like mother like daughter

Indeed this strangeness [the Naugrim] have that no Man nor Elf has ever seen a beardless Dwarf […]. For the Naugrim have beards from the beginning of their lives, male and female alike; nor indeed can their womenkind be discerned by those of other race, be it in feature or in gait or in voice

What game do you associate most strongly with a specific time in your life?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

i'm not much of a gamer so i can't answer most of mysterious cat's asks BUT for this one: nothing screams year 2000 like L'Album secret de l'oncle Ernest.

it's an adventure puzzle game. you start on some pages in a notebook that contain different minigames or tasks (like taking a photo of a mouse that only comes out in the dark) that unlock more pages

i loved it as a child! it's available as abandonware now, so maybe i'll play it again some time

#tumblr snek asks

that was fun! blast from the past 🥲

#tumblr snek #playing tumblr snek on company time 👍

[Huor was] a swift runner; but if the race were long and hard Húrin would be the first home […]. There was great love between the brothers, and they were seldom apart in their youth.

a nargothrond gold stater was an ancient coin minted in the city state of nargothrond and used in various regions of beleriand

helyannis

… I'm so sorry I made something cursed

but when I hear bactrian gold stater i next think of Demetrios in that elephant hat. And since one version of the meaning of Felagund is 'badger' …

#finrod #tolkien

sometimes when there's nothing to do at work for 10+min, I'm making little clay creatures from the clay I find here :3

#sorry for the image quality #my phone is from 2018

I added a border to this thing from 5 years ago, so it's truly and officially Finished

#needle lace #good or not it's DONE

Brodda and his men break down the door to Aerin's house

#tolkien #the narn #brodda #a rather rough drawing #and a rather dark moment #but something like it must have happened #they may have to get a battering ram ...

i started sculpting miniatures (~35mm)!

i love it! everything is so tiny!

since i'm new to it and only home on weekends AND scared of squishing what i made if i work on more than one tiny section at a time, it takes aaaaaageeeesss … in 1-2 decades i may have something to show XD

canto vi of the lay of leithian says Fuck your attempts to figure out a chronology of composition. ok. yay

catilinas

ignore so much of what i said yesterday. the lay of the children of hurin has a character references the existence of the lay of leithian:

and the lay of leithian includes prolepses of: maglor’s eventual fate, the nirnaeth arnoediad, and turin:

so our options are like. a) the manuscript transmission of either or both lays is fucked. one morbillion later interpolations. b) the time implosion

helyannis

I love these discussions of in-universe tradition!

My personal assumtion is that the Lay of Leithian, probably in contrast with the Narn (for which we have a named poet!), is not from the beginning one static work. I think this is a case of "many songs are sung".

One version is inserted into the Narn, and it is related to but not the same as the version Strider sings to the Hobbits. He says only Elrond remembers the Tale "aright as it was told of old", so by then there exists some notion of a "correct" version, but we don't know it that means form or content. Crucially, nobody knows it!

The Lay we have is probably (a translation of) of one version of the story in a manuscript extant at the end of the Third Age, thousands of turbulent years after the events, because that's the usual framework. When it was first written down *in this form* cannot be determined.

BUT we know that the Elves of Doriath weren't using Daeron's runes very much, so the first songs come from a purely oral tradition. Many poets/singers may have interpreted what's known about the events, and improved upon each others works and interpolated them. The tradition probably lived on independently from any written versions at any time. Elvish memory is good but not perfect, but more importantly they are intentionally creative!
