Númenorean Hobbit Lass at your service

Thank you so much for the tag, @camille-lachenille. 💖

last song: The birdsong outside my living room window. 🥺

currently watching: The Other Bennet Sister (rewatching now that I've also read the book).

currently reading: The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery. Also The Tower and the Ruin, to get caught up with my Tolkien scholarship TBR.

current obsession: I'd say I don't really have one at the moment, but the question below probably says otherwise...

currently working on: A few Quenya translations (including the Akallabêth); formatting my list of every plant/tree mentioned in each location in the legendarium (which is taking a while even though @ofermod regularly reminds me to work on it); and sorting through many, many photos on my harddrive to try to figure out how to post more here about our Middle-earth-inspired garden (without annoying the mutuals, ideally).

last ecosia search: Ceramic plant pots.

favourite flowers: Snowdrops, daffodils (especially fancy white ones with pink or yellow cups), roses, peonies, and hollyhocks.

Thank you so much for the tag, @elrenniel (long story but it actually really means a lot 😭💙)

Last Song: Mizayaki by Paris Paloma!!

Currently Watching: The Clone Wars, animated! It's a great chill watch.

Currently Reading: Unfinished Tales, The Secret Commonwealth (Pullman), and A Court of Mist and Fury (Maas).

Current Obsession: I mean, my Tolkien usual 😅 plus the last two movies I watched sorta living rent free in my head (Project Hail Mary and The Sheep Detectives).

Currently Working On: In between WIPs at the moment, but next for writing is a two-parter: teenaged Éomer and teenaged Éowyn, into the same of Faramir and Boromir. Next art will be TSwift-themed! Oh I did also start a little dancey something with "This Wandering Day".

Last Ecosia Search: ...wait why am I just learning about this search engine?! Glad I know now, man!!

Favourite Flowers: I think hydrangeas. Got a soft spot for petunias and hyacinths too 🌸🌼

“He has dwelt in the West since the days of dawn, and I have dwelt with him years uncounted; for ere the fall of Nargothrond or Gondolin I passed over the mountains, and together through ages of the world we have fought the long defeat.”

Today’s progress on The Rings of Power banner in San Diego.

so chapter 75 is up. I am slightly frightened by the way my brain is able to come up with new chapters to insert MOAR obscure lore apart from complicating the plot.

When Aldarion arrived in Armenelos, he gave Tar-Meneldur a letter, which Gil-galad sent all the way from Lindon. In the letter, the elven king began by thanking Meneldur for letting his son sail and stay in his service for long periods of time. It was here revealed that Aldarion had been of great use to him. Gil-galad further tells the king of Númenor of the great evil threat once again stirring in Middle-earth, pleading for Númenor to send men to his aid. He also instructs the king to let Aldarion fill him in on all the details of this need.

Gil-galad pleaded for the King of Númenor to give Aldarion the resources he needed, implying that then there may yet be hope again. Urging him not to let the friendship between the Elves and Edain wane, he recalled the distant memory of the First Age and their former alliance. Lastly, he warned him that the darkness would not be contained to Middle-earth, but spread across The Great Sea, too.

After finishing the letter, the King pondered what was to be done if indeed a new darkness was brewing. He judged that the Valar must know if it was true, yet they had sent him no sign. When they first rewarded the island to his ancestors, they were to put aside war and hatred. But if they were yet again to prepare for war, how could he be sure that was the right choice?
