THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING (2001)

[elvensource]

Middle Earth meme | [6/6] friendships ► Galadriel and Melian

↳   “ And at times Melian and Galadriel would speak together of Valinor and the bliss of old; but beyond the dark hour of the death of the Trees Galadriel would not go, but ever fell silent. And on a time Melian said: ‘There is some woe that lies upon you and your kin. That I can see in you, but all else is hidden from me; for by no vision or thought can I perceive anything that passed or passes in the West: a shadow lies over all the land of Aman, and reaches far out over the sea. Why will you not tell me more?’ 'For that woe is past,’ said Galadriel; 'and I would take what joy is here left, untroubled by memory. And maybe there is woe enough yet to come, though still hope may seem bright.’”

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (2003)

[elvensource]

"Aredhel Ar-Feiniel, the White Lady of the Noldor, daughter of Fingolfin, dwelt in Nevrast with Turgon her brother, and she went with him to the Hidden City. But she wearied of the guarded city of Gondolin, desiring ever the longer the more to ride again in the wide lands and to walk in the forests, as had been her wont in Valinor; and when two hundred years had passed since Gondolin was full-wrought, she spoke to Turgon and asked leave to depart." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of Maeglin"

[ID: four posters in soft shades of pale pink, grey, and dark brown or black.

1: A close-up of south sudanese-australian model Adut Akech, showing about half of her face. She faces the viewer, looking at them with a neutral expression. She has dark brown skin and dark hair braided back. She wears several silver earrings and a pink feathery garment that reaches her chin. White lines frame the left and upper side of the image. White text in the upper left corner (where the lines meet) reads "aredhel" in all caps and, below it in cursive, "noble one" / 2: The branches of a cherry blossom tree in bloom. Two white lines run down the right side, and white and brown cursive text aligned to them reads "a gleam of white" / 3: Forested, snowy mountains against a somewhat cloud sky. Same format as Image 2, but the elements are on the other side, and the text reads "in the dim land." / 4: Adut Akech, this time shown from the waist up, with her face out of frame. She is wearing a fringed pink shirt with thin straps, silk skirt, and large gold earrings. One hand is on her hip and her head is turned to the right. Same format as Image 1, but the lines are on the right and bottom sides, and the text reads "írissë" and "desirable" //End ID]

Arwen appreciation week ↳ day one: favorite quote

But the Queen Arwen said: ‘A gift I will give you. For I am the daughter of Elrond. I shall not go with him now when he departs to the Havens; for mine is the choice of Lúthien, and as she so have I chosen, both the sweet and the bitter. But in my stead you shall go, Ring-bearer, when the time comes, and if you then desire it. If your hurts grieve you still and the memory of your burden is heavy, then you may pass into the West, until all your wounds and weariness are healed. But wear this now in memory of Elfstone and Evenstar with whom your life has been woven!’

And she took a white gem like a star that lay upon her breast hanging upon a silver chain, and she set the chain about Frodo’s neck. 'When the memory of the fear and the darkness troubles you,’ she said, 'this will bring you aid.’

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER | 1.01 "A Shadow of the Past"

[elvensource]

"Thence came only a small company, following Gwindor son of Guilin, a very valiant prince; and against the will of Orodreth he went to the northern war, because he grieved for the loss of Gelmir his brother in the Dagor Bragollach. They took the badge of the house of Fingolfin, and marched beneath the banners of Fingon; and they came never back, save one." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of the Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad"

[ID: an edit comprised of four posters in shades of black, white, and grey.

1: An close-up of an ornately crafted suit of armor at the place where the arm connects to the shoulder. White text in the bottom right corner reads "Ever in the forefront of that battle went Gwindor and the Elves of Nargothrond," and a white line with four white dots about 3/4 of the way up frames the image on the same side / 2: A black-and-white image of ugandan model Mukasa Kakonge vertically oriented on a black background. His back is towards the viewer and his face is in profile. He has dark skin, very short curly hair, and looks serious and pensive. A necklace hangs a little between his shoulder blades, and the light is shining on the front of his body. He is framed by white lines and dots. White text set into the horizontal section of the frame reads "Gwindor" / 3: Similar format to Image 2, but the smaller photo, which shows Mukasa Kakonge lying down, is horizontal as is the frame. His head rests on his arms and he wears a bracelet on one wrist. His eyes are closed and he looks peaceful. Vertical text inside the frame reads "Gwindor" / 4: A starry sky streaked with lighter clouds or smoke. Same format as Image 1, but the text and line are in the upper left corner, and the text reads "Morgoth trembled upon his deep throne, hearing them beat upon his doors." //End ID]

Emhyr murdered my child, and I lost my brother, my husband, and hundreds of our people, because of your lie? I can’t undo what I’ve done. He deserves it. He deserves to suffer just as you have.

"A sister they had, Galadriel, most beautiful of all the house of Finwë; her hair was lit with gold as though it had caught in a mesh the radiance of Laurelin." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië" ". . . their sister was Aredhel the White. She was younger in the years of the Eldar than her brothers; and when she was grown to full stature and beauty she was tall and strong, and loved much to ride and hunt in the forests." - J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Silmarillion, "Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië"

[ID: a edit comprised of four posters in cream and shades of brown.

1: A smaller circular image of the african-american/korean actor Tatiana Gabrielle Hobson. She has brown skin and blond hair in many braids, and is wearing white makeup and a gold shawl. The background is cream with a large light brown rectangle, outlined where the circle touches it. Text reads "artanis" in large cursive, followed by "nerwen" in dark brown serif. Below that, small brown text reads "But Galadriel, the only woman of the Noldor to stand that day tall and valiant among the contending princes, was eager to be gone. No oaths she swore, but the words of Fëanor concerning Middle-earth had kindled in her heart, for she yearned to see the wide unguarded lands and to rule there a realm at her own will" / 2: Two lions leaning their faces against each other / 3: A latticed window framed by an arch in a tiled wall / 4: Same format as Image 1, though the position is reversed and the circular image shows south sudanese-australian model Adut Akech. She has dark brown skin and dark hair worn loose. Text in the same format as Image 1 but at the bottom reads "aredhel," "írissë," and "But Aredhel said: ‘I am your sister and not your servant, and beyond your bounds I will go as seems good to me. And if you begrudge me an escort, I will go alone.’ Then Turgon answered: ‘I grudge you nothing that I have. . .and if I trust you, my sister, others I trust less to keep guard on their tongues'" /End ID]
