Day six of Terrifying Tolkien Week with “Specter” as the prompt. Rather than go the obvious ghost route, I went with the more abstract meaning of the word: a hideous presence or threat. And in doing so went with the already-done-numerous-times Celebrimbor War Banner, oops. 

I have no creativity. RIP Tyelpe

thought:

1: I imagine a substantial number of Green-Elves would have refused the summons of Mandos. The woods are their home, they’re not going to leave! If they’d wanted to go to Aman, they’d have gone while living! Also given the sorts of things that haunt Beleriand, they have plenty of good reason not to trust voices in the darkness. Which means:

2: There must have been many houseless spirits haunting the woods and the wild places of Beleriand when it was broken and sunk, which means:

3: They are now in the ocean? which means:

4 and most important: I really want a story of a Numenorean mariner on a night of storm encountering one of the spirits of the Laiquendi of Beleriand, twice-grieved and twice-enraged, having lost their life and their land and now haunting empty waters.

Black Orchid – Fredclarkeara Black Lace ‘Baker’s Dark Angel’ 

In nature, black flowers are rare. The reality is that there is almost no plant in the world that is truly black in color. Most are shades of deep blue or reds or purples. This is also true about orchid flowers. Growers and hybridizers have tried many different orchid plants and hybrid orchid varieties to try to get to a truly black flower.

Among the most notable hybrids (since 2010) with truly black flowers (currently commercially available from Sunset Valley Orchids) you can find Fredclarkeara (Asparagales – Orchidaceae), an intergeneric hybrid between the orchid genera Catasetum, Clowesia and Mormodes. (Ctsm. x Cl. x Morm.).

The Fredclarkeara breeding produces flowers that are fragrant, have lots of color and are long lasting. As you can see on this one in the photo, the Fredclarkeara Black Lace ‘Baker’s Dark Angel’ is indeed black.

An anon asked for my take on Sauron in his big suit of armor and I can’t deny I’ve been waiting literally forever to finally tackle that design, and now…Yeah there he is.

Also to the anon who asked, I know you asked for my take on the Nazgul as well, and don’t worry they’re coming. -finger guns-

Eru, thinking the Valar into existence: and one of them will be a nature goddess, and one will be god of the oceans…

Eru’s intrusive thoughts: and one will be the almighty lord of chaos and darkness because that would be METAL!!!!!

Eru: No! Stop it! I didn’t actually mean…to think that! Aaargh!
