Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why.

It would have been so easy for Halt to have just. Never found Will. Ever.

Halt and Daniel didn't know each other. All Halt got from him was a) his name and b) the fact he had a wife and child back home who needed looking after. Halt learned this while he himself was concussed btw.

It would have been so easy for him to have woken up in the medical tent and just have. Forgotten. Or remembered, but gone "eh, my head hurts. That's a problem for another day" or even think "Daniel's dead now anyway, not like he can find out if I break my promise" BUT HE DIDN'T!!! Bro literally just got off the battlefield, went on a wild goose-chase trying to find out where this Sargent who saved his life came from, battle a group of bandits, and tried to save Will's mother's life. And when he couldn't do that, he thought long and hard about what to do with Will so he would be happiest.

Speaking of, I want to point out that Halt chose to hand him over to the ward not because he didn't want the responsibility of raising a child, but because he knew Will would forever be isolated if he was known as the ranger's kid. He just wanted Will to be happy from day one and it's all because of one promise he made to one man I am going insane sdfdjhasidufhiia

'Oath of Elendil' ~ Watercolor.

Started out as a mindless concept piece, but I listened to the Clamavi de Profundis cover on repeat so long I ended up fleshing it out to a finished painting. Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinomë maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta ...

Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A Sword Day… a Red Day… ere the sun rises!

things about middle-earth that sound fake to people who haven't read the silmarillion

the earth was flat until some people pissed off god enough that he punched it round

the sun and moon used to be trees, but a big spider ate them

elves even being in middle-earth can be traced back to one (1) dude hating that people mispronounced his mom's name

sauron is a werewolf

elrond's biological parents are a star and a bird now

there's a sexy vampire lady

fighting a balrog barehanded is so cool it'll get you reincarnated right away even if there isn't a current big crisis going on (sorry gandalf, glorfindel just did it better)

satan got banned from heaven for playing his own music too loud

if you were intense enough in life, when you die, you might literally explode

Posting this a day late 😔

Day 4 - Runes

It has been a long held headcanon of mine that Halt carves love messages into Crowley's bow. Here's the first one he wrote, "I love you"

So Technically these are not runes, but a message in the ogham alphabet! The ogham alphabet is, in my experience, often misidentified as a language. It is not! Most of the time, it was still written using Irish words. Ogham was actually the first writing system in Ireland, and there's two theories as to when it showed up. Either during a period where Rome and ancient Ireland were in close contact, or some time in the early 5th century when early Christians came to Ireland. Either way, it would have existed during the time period of the books. Ogham was also likely written on wood, not stone, but because wood decays, our main records of it are burial mounds made in stone! The writing is often on the corners of the stone, using the physical edge of it as the center line. What I've drawn here is likely Not how ogham would have been used on wood, but it was the best way for me to get the message across

Again, please don't pay attention to me posting this a day late, I had a busy day yesterday 😅

I put all my effort into the first frames and gave up for the rest 😩 I also couldn't get the little yellow light you see on portals to properly show without breaking the frames/layers either

Lazy gif of my poor hobbit staring at an open door until it closed bc lotro was super laggy
