Some unposted Tolkien art I've been collecting over the years 💫

The Constellations of northern Arda - an autumn sky above Thangorodrim

The constellations of Arda - a night sky made up of the constellations of Tolkien's Legendarium (and some added real ones (lyra, swan, dragon) that seemed to fit thematically) overlaid over an autumnal sky of our northern hemisphere. (somewhat expanded to get all of them in one view (e.g. do not @ me about orion or corona borealis ;) )

Also, for the Tolkien astronomy nerds(TM), Anarríma (which we don't have any information on besides the name) is probably meant to be an adaptation of pegasus. So the actual depiction is completely made up by me.

I ultimately landed on the idea of a giant spider (as the name translates to something like the edge/border of light/the sun) The spider not only fits well with the long limbs of the pegasus but Ungoliant's (and her descendants') stories do always play out in that edge of light and the sun, always desiring, craving and devouring it but also shying away from it. /rant over

Escape from nargothrond

Luthien and Huan

With a sigh, you turn away.

With a deepening heart,

No more words to say.

You will find,

That the world has changed,

happy moments should be cherished, not over-thought

people will come and go no matter how long you wait for them or how badly you want them to stay

making new friends opens up whole new worlds

apologies can make all the difference

random acts of kindness can change someone’s day from bad to bearable

the only person you’re stuck with is you so learn to love, forgive, and accept yourself

sometimes the worst people for us are the ones we think are the best

it’s not selfish to be personally hurt by something and anyone who tells you otherwise probably feels guilty themselves

the world can feel ugly at times, but don’t overlook the beautiful things or they may just not be there one day

tell people you love that you love them even if you think it’s implied

don’t betray your friends

being yourself takes time since change happens often, so it’s okay to not know who you are at any given time

never give up on your dreams or you’ll regret all the things you could’ve done

don’t ever lose yourself in the name of love

trust yourself

life has its highs and lows, so be prepared for how low the lows can be

do things spontaneously— just for the fun of it

better to regret than to wonder “what if” forever

always make sure people know you’re there for them

there’s never a perfect time, and if you wait too long, you lose your chance

everyone has shit going on in their lives, so be kind to people

always be thankful for the people who have stuck around

don’t waste time beating yourself up over things you can’t change

if you’re trying to decide between holding on and letting go, it’s probably time to let go
