Celegorm and Huan – For Curufins-smile Happy super-freaking-belated birthday ❤ (I’m sorry! T_T) I will paint them! I just needed a little time to sit down for once. I hope you enjoy~
*Huan referenced from several dozen pictures of deer hounds lying down. Because wow they are an interesting breed to sketch!

Achavanich Stone Complex, Achavanich, The Highlands, Scotland, 18.8.18.
This unique ‘u shaped’ stone complex has standing stones distinctly positioned so that they fan out on one of their narrow edges. The effect is particularly striking when you are in the centre of the space. The stones have a relationship with the large collapsed cairn nearby.
shitty Tolkien merch idea: “get thee gone from my gate, thou jail-crow of mandos” on a welcome mat
what do you mean “shitty”
do u know how fast i would buy this. look at me. look me in the eye. i’d sell three kidneys for this doormat; two of my own, and someone else’s. i would burn rome to the ground for this doormat.
wesley coming in with that fucken MOOD
*gets down on one knee* let’s start an etsy together
jrrt: And sometimes as a man may cast a dainty to his cat (his cat he calls her, but she owns him not) Sauron would send her prisoners that he had no better uses for: he would have them driven to her hole, and report brought back to him of the play she made.
me, every single time: *delighted chortling*
What I love about this, –aside from the simply delightful image of Sauron petting his cat/spider Shelob–, is that it’s one of the very few things The Lord of the Rings tells us about Sauron’s personality. In most of the trilogy, Sauron’s this dark, mysterious, vast menace hanging in the background yet pressing down upon the heroes, but when Tolkien does decide to mention something about Sauron’s personality, it’s this… The man must really hate cats, mustn’t he?

as much as I appreciate the fact that there are people in the Silmarillion fandom who are willing to see Melian as more culpable and responsible for various ills than the text seems to indicate, I feel like this comes at the expense of an aspect of Elu’s character that I wish more of us would explore
namely, Elwë Singollo, Monster Fucker
this guy comes upon a minor god in the woods, a god that we aren’t even told is in a recognizable human form, and his innate reaction is “I’d tap that”
then once the enchantment lifts (over them both, not just him) and his free will is back in action they immediately get to babymaking and kingdom building
not only that, it’s his descendants that are interested in interspecies romance
he’s the equivalent of a Tumblr blogger crushing on Venom, only he got his wish
you go, Elu
never stop for anything
