“kassie there’s no evidence in the text to suggest mairon was meant to be a sparkly cloud of eyes” leave me, leave me in my ignorance, for this weird shit is my jam and within it i shall remain
Lol, I need to reinforce my ears, but this is my cosplay so far, I’m done with my beard, I keep finding beads and stuff to deck out my hair with and I refuse to them Haha!
My big cuffs are curtain rings that I got from Anna’s linens. And I glued on my beard with double sided tape because I didn’t buy my sprit gum yet
Lol
I’ll take a picture of my jacket and tunic soon. I have pictures of one of my dwarf costumes, but I don’t like the angles and how I look lol. But maybe you all aren’t as critical as me lol. I might post them later.
Look at this amazing lady dwarf cosplay! Seriously, if I can get the wig and beard for my Baris costume looking HALF this good, I shall be well satisfied.
so based on this post I guess this means in my AU verse, when Ossë is playing double agent, he’ll go by Esso? I mean that’s subtle right? If nothing else we know Sauron won’t riddle it out.
Nonsense, Cousin; I would know you by your smell leagues away. And if that did not give you away, your complete ineptitude with double entendres surely would.
I feel like I have to apologize to JRRT every time I post one of these things but guys, guys, you know the bit in the Lay of Leithian where Sauron is trying to figure out the names and quests of his captives — look, I will let Chris Tolkien say it,
The name Dungalef (2121), though it sounds Orcish enough, was an oddly transparent device, since Felagund had just been mentioned; but it succeeded (2217). No doubt [Sauron]’s ponderings on the matter were too subtle.
Please note that Beren is giving his name as Nereb right now.
I don’t know who I’m more disappointed in – Beren and Finrod for being that bad at disguises, or Sauron for not figuring it out
Sauron got the last laugh on this one, though. When he showed up in Eregion, Celebrimbor was like “this dude seems a little sketchy, but I can’t think of any evil people named “Ratanna,” so I guess he checks out.”
“Dungalef? Nereb? No no no, too easy– must be a bluff. MORE TORTURE, JUST TO BE SURE.”
