@arwenindomiel's tolkien south asian week 2025 day 3: more fair than mortal tongue can tell ✦ LÚTHIEN

Her starlight faded and the night closed o'er the snowdrops glimmering white. Thereafter on a hillock green he saw far off the elven-sheen of shining limb and jewel bright often and oft on moonlit night; and Daeron's pipe awoke once more, and soft she sang as once before.

Tolkien South Asian Week Day 6 ✧ A people, the Noldor | insp ↳ Everyone in Middle-Earth is Brown [109/?]: Fëanor

Though long and hard shall be the road! Say farewell to bondage! But say farewell also to ease! Say farewell to the weak! Say farewell to your treasures! More still shall we make. Journey light: but bring with you your swords! For we will go further than Orome, endure longer than Tulkas: we will never turn back from pursuit. After Morgoth to the ends of the Earth! War shall he have and hatred undying. But when we have conquered and have regained the Silmarils, then we and we alone shall be lords of the unsullied Light, and masters of the bliss and beauty of Arda. No other race shall oust us!

"Now King Finrod Felagund had no wife, and Galadriel asked him why this should be; but foresight came upon Felagund as she spoke, and he said: ‘An oath I too shall swear, and must be free to fulfill it, and go into darkness. Nor shall anything of my realm endure that a son should inherit.’" - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of the Noldor in Beleriand"

" I should have been queen. But when my father denied me my royal destiny, I decided to rally the commonfolk. And with their help, I took back what was rightfully mine, in the only way I knew would send an unforgettable message: Blood and Fire. "

Where did we first meet? Seaside. When I was first orphaned. I was alone. A young, half-elven boy, without friend or kin. You gave me water.

With what authority do you speak, Elf? That of your people? Or are you a castaway, grasping for a handhold in a tempest?

But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.

↳ thank you to beloved mutual @kookyburrowing for the prompt!

[ID: an edit comprised of four posters in shades of green with brown accents. All the posters have green backgrounds.

1: Two circular images positioned at the top and bottom of the poster, which is framed by a light green border. The first image shows Kita Updike, a chippewa/african-american model with brown skin and straight dark hair. Her head is turned to the side so we see her in profile. The bottom images shows traditional ojibwe (chippewa) beadwork and embroidery. Both circular images have green frames, and a divider meant to resemble leaves separating them / 2: The bottom part of the poster is taken up by an image of sunlight coming down through trees and hanging vines. Above the picture, hollow green text reads "legolas" in all caps, and below that in smaller text in two shades of green, “He was tall as a young tree, lithe, immensely strong, able swiftly to draw a great war-bow and shoot down a Nazgûl, endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies, so hard and resistant to hurt that he went only in light shoes over rock or through snow, the most tireless of all the Fellowship.” / 3: The left side of the poster shows a quiver of arrows lying on green shrubbery. Hollow text in the upper left corner reads "prince of" in all caps, while bicolored vertical text on the left side reads "eryn galen" in all caps / 4: Same format as Image 1, but the top image shows hide boots decorated with ojibwe beadwork depicting flowering plants, and the bottom image shows Kita Updike, this time facing slightly to the left with a neutral, serious expression //End ID]

"Yet neither bread nor rest would he grant to Celegorm and Curufin within his realm, and he swore that there should be little love between Nargothrond and the sons of Fëanor thereafter. ‘Let it be so!’ said Celegorm, and there was a light of menace in his eyes; but Curufin smiled. Then they took horse and rode away like fire, to find if they might their kindred in the east. But none would go with them, not even those that were of their own people; for all perceived that the curse lay heavily upon the brothers, and that evil followed them." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of Beren and Lúthien"

@cnc-week day 2 ⇢ CURUFIN + FLAMES

[ID: an edit comprised of six posters in shades of brown, black, cool-toned red, and white.

1: A closeup of Saffron Vadher, a british-indian model with brown skin and long black hair. She is shown from just below her eyes to her mid chest, and wears a large silver necklace. Her expression is neutral and her eyes appear closed, one decorated with bold black lines. White text in the center of the image reads "curufinwë" and underneath in a smaller serif italicized font "skilled finwë" / 2: A dark sky full of stars and the red clouds of a nebula. White text at the top of the image reads "stars" and underneath "fire of inspiration." More text at the bottom of the image reads "Curufinwë Feanor's own name; given to this, his favourite son, because he alone showed in some degree the same temper and talents." / 3: Red lightning in a dark sky. One tendril reaches down to strike the dark mass of a hill. Same format as Image 2, but the upper text reads "lightning" and "fire of action" and the lower text reads "And after Celegorm Curufin spoke, more softly but with no less power, conjuring in the minds of the Elves a vision of war and the ruin of Nargothrond." / 4: Saffron Vadher, this time looking straight ahead and leaning her chin on a silver holder. She wears silver earrings and is smiling slightly, possibly in anger. Same format as Image 1, but the text reads "atarinkë" and "little father" / 5: Saffron Vadher's face unevenly reflected in the pieces of a broken mirror that she holds in one hand. She wears a metallic bracelet of interlocking swirls. Same format as Images 1 and 4, but the text reads "fëanárion" and "son of fëanáro" / 6: A billow of red fire in the dark. Same format as Images 2 and 3, but the upper text reads "flame" and "fire of destruction" and the lower text reads "In the night Fëanor, filled with malice, aroused Curufin, and with him . . . he went to the ships and set them all aflame; and the dark sky was red as with a terrible dawn." //End ID]
