The depictions of Aragorn as an unwashed, dirt-eating, off-the-grid backpacker become much better when you realize that he was raised by Elrond, by all accounts the most civilized, refined, and genteel person on the known continent.

This is delightful, and if I might take it another step without being a bother, I like to think Elrond has this skill to switch between ruffian and coutier too.

elrond was raised in the woods by a former king and a former prince regent, he absolutely has the range to be both Impeccable Manners and Forest Gremlin

I’m having a really hard time coping, all of our plans are completely non-existent, we had planned to study abroad together and finally meet that way, maybe even share a little cabin in the woods for weekends. But now she plans on getting married instead.

@cultivating-wildflowers​ has been rereading LOTR and mentioned that since Tom Bombadil had been around since forever, he was there before the firstborn elves.  He was basically their introduction to sentient beings.  Which is super funny but also super terrible because imagine being an elf, exploring and trying to learn about this new world you’ve found yourself in, and suddenly this strange, short man comes prancing by, singing nonsense, and you begin to question everything you’ve learned so far.

Hello, my friends! I'm starting a new thread! This time, create your elven oc, or just an elf, from LOTR or the Silmarillion, using this here lovely meiker by @findekane and tag your friends who have ocs! Or tag them if they like LOTR. (Keep in mind the meiker is in progress still, but I believe it deserves some love!)

thank you for the tag, this was so much fun! this is Ríngilith and Ária

Thanks for the tag! I spent more time on this than I should have but it was so fun (and I can say that this will definitely help me better picture outfits and stuff)

Thanks for tagging me Caldar! it’s suuuper fun to play around with!

Tolkien’s universe is full of oddly specific repeating motifs and for some reason Elrond does ALL OF THEM better than his predecessors:

Oh no oh no my research into Khuzdul morphology lead me to a page on that brought up the connections between Khuzdul and Adûnaic, and the specific example it used was talking about how in Adûnaic, “gimlu-nîtir,” which means “kindler of a star,” incorporates the objective form, since “gimlu” is the objective of the word for star, which is “gimli”

Gimli: Bro, wanna go stargazing?

Hello! I’m a mix of Silmarillion and LOTR (and some other random things but this is mostly Tolkien related) I do some oneshots and headcanons and reblog some fanart! Here are some great ppl:
