Greetings fellow Tolkien queers!
I am open anytime for moodboard, fic and fashion edit requests, as well as headcanon asks!! Of course Gandalf/Olorin is my blorbo and always the character I'll have the most thoughts about, but I really love receiving questions and requests about others too!

thinking something about annatar as a creation of sauron’s, crafted and tested and prototyped like any other work. cyborg annatar, if you will—a piece pulled from here, a piece from there; smile and arms not his own, eyes from an earlier model. his body is perfect and not quite right because being annatar is not quite right. he is every dead dissected thrall and in angband there are neatly numbered files of notes and sketches for his hair, his teeth, how he would walk, the exact cadence of his voice. a thousand calculations and years of blood went into the curve of his cheek; even his imperfections are precise, minute, terrible: at once the machine and the ghost living in it.
the nolofinwean host arriving in beleriand and immediately upending the exilic noldorin fashion ecosystem and at least destabilizing all preceding valinorean apparel trends by getting really into emphasizing the parts of their bodies lost to or harmed by frostbite… silver filigree ear and finger tips, clothing with dramatic slashed openings to show necrotic scarring and blackened or purpled skin, elaborately worked or jeweled nosepieces. then of course the fëanorian host, not to be outdone, starts ritually burning themselves and doing allegiance-specific scarification and piercing. and this is when turgon judiciously decides to leave forever (he saw one of celegorm’s knights roll up in a backless top/assless chaps combo with the entire oath of fëanor burned onto his skin in sarati. sarati!!! which nobody uses for shit!!!)
The Silmarillion fandom is genuinely insane. Like, you hang out on tumblr, read fic on AO3 and you think, yeah. Lots of people have read the Silmarillion. It’s Tolkien. Everyone’s read Tolkien. Barnes and Noble has a whole bunch of the HoME and also a bunch of books by people writing about the legendarium. This is mainstream, surely.
But then you actually touch grass and talk to normal people. Not even that, you talk to people who self diagnose as hard core Tolkien fans. And. None of them have read the Silmarillion. The Silmarillion is famously a book that nobody reads.
And yet. On AO3 The Silmarillion and Other Histories of Middle Earth has more works than The Lord of the Rings. Think about that. That’s baffling. It’s ridiculous. Like I realize that LotR fandom is split a bit by the movie, but still. The Silmarillion has almost four times as many fics as the LotR movies. Everybody has watched the movies!
I need to know what percentage of people who actually read the Silmarillion went on to write fic or draw fanart about it. Because it must be insane, surely. Like, I’m pretty sure the Silmarillion wins some kind of record in this department.
Thinking about the fanfic bell curve where on one end you have “Perfect, needs no improvement or elaboration” (LotR sits here) and on the other you have “So bad it’s no fun to even think about” with the middle being the fanfic zone. But I think there may be a secret fourth Silmarillion option. Which is a book that is perfect* but simultaneously non existent. It’s not even a real story! The language is super pretty and deeply incomprehensible (especially to people who, unlike me, were not raised from early childhood on both the Bible and classic literature). And it’s more of an outline and an abstract painting of cultural and world building vibes (not cultural and world building facts and information) than an actual narrative. There are story hooks galore. There are vivid and fascinating characters, but their lives are glossed over and you only get one or two paragraphs of prose that will reorder your brain chemistry and haunt you forever. There are countless more characters who only exist as names, the implication of whose existence is fascinating. All of this is deeply frustrating, both to casual readers who just want a Normal Enjoyable Book, and super fans who want All the Lore. But it is catnip to anyone who engages in transformative work.
*I am aware that not anyone who is a fan of the silm thinks it’s perfect

sam and frodo having their first kiss on the way to mordor, late into the night when both of them are curled up together because they can't sleep. sam murmuring a promise against frodo's cheek after pressing a kiss to it saying that he'll court him properly when they get back to the shire.

For day one of @tolkienfashionweek , headcanons on the evolution of (elf-friendly) fashion and fana among the Valar :)

7. The moon was shining in a broad silver crescent. He held up the map and the white light shone through it. “What is this?” he said. “There are moonletters here, beside the plain runes which say ‘five feet high the door and three may walk abreast.’”
Occasionally you do need to just let fantasy be fantasy. "Why are the mountains around Mordor in a square, mountain ranges don't work like that" well you see there's an evil god who lives there hope this helps
Find yourself a husband that will argue about who killed more orcs with you

Gandalf was in charge of the fireworks: he not only brought the rockets, but he also made them himself to decorate the sky with fiery patterns
