ANAIRË PROPAGANDA (art by Marya Filatova):

I’m just gonna use this bullet point to express my jealousy that I’m not the wife of Fingolfin

“Close friends with Ëarwen, Finarfin’s wife” hmmm… 🩷💜💙❓

Passed on her sexy genes to Aredhel

“The name Anairë means "Holiest" in Quenya: an- (superlative prefix) + airë ("holy").” Cute

I keep confusing her with Amarië

MELIAN PROPAGANDA (art by Elena Kukanova):

“In Valinor, she dwelt in the Gardens of Lórien tending its trees, and she was the most beautiful, wise and skilled in songs of enchantment of all the people of Irmo.” Everyone is hot and sexy ok jirt

Taught nightingales to sing <3

And she was soo good at singing even the bells and fountains of Valimar stopped to listen to her sing. Whatever the hell that implies

Stared at Thingol for 200 years

Do you think maybe she got Thingol pregnant or.

Had the most beautiful child who ever lived yeah yeah whatever tolkien

Extremely wise. And probably foresighted. Which Thingol ignored

Repelled Ungoliant with her Maia spider spray

GIRDLE

May have fucked Galadriel?

MORWEN PROPAGANDA (art by Kimberly):

The most beautiful mortal woman of her time!

Milf.

“She was called Eledhwen, the elven-fair, by Men, because of the light of her glance and the beauty of her face” so sexy that she’s compared to elves

Lady of Dor-Lómin

So sexy that the Easterlings thought she was a witch

There should be here more but my brain is so empty. Sorry

RÍAN PROPAGANDA (art by ForeverMedhok):

She is a singer and maker of songs. Apparently. Aka a minstrel

Tuor’s mom

“She had a gentle heart and had no liking for war or hunting because she gave her love to trees and wild flowers” 🥺🥺

Literally a child of war damn

Lamented to baby Tuor about the treachery of men?? LOL

Unfortunately died after learning of Huor’s death RIP queen

YAVANNA PROPAGANDA (art by Jenny Dolfen):

Giver of FRUITS 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

“She is the lover of all things that grow in the earth, and all their countless forms she holds in her mind, from the trees like towers in forests long ago to the moss upon stones or the small and secret things in the mould” she makes me want to be a tree

As revered as Varda herself!

“Some there are who have seen her standing like a tree under heaven, crowned with the Sun; and from all its branches there spilled a golden dew upon the barren earth, and it grew green with corn; but the roots of the tree were in the waters of Ulmo, and the winds of Manwë spoke in its leaves.“ CORN

Yvanna made Ohio. It’s my new headcanon now.

I love corn

Also formed the two trees!

And ents and probably other things too

“when the Valar decided to send emissaries to the mortal lands, Yavanna begged the Maia Curumo to take her servant, Aiwendil, with him” oh wow

If you hug a tree you could be hugging Yavanna. Hug trees today

EÄRWEN PROPAGANDA (art by Elena Kukanova):

Finarfin’s wife <33333

Once again I would like to express jealousy that I cannot be the wife of Finarfin

I think she pegs the shit out of Finarfin

Also the Queen of the Noldor which is so cute. Mwah

Swan maiden of Alqualondë. Come on. That’s hot as fuck

Probably had a nasty divorce with finarfin for maybe 300 years and then got together again I see it in my heart

IDRIL PROPAGANDA (art by Anna Lee):

I choose to believe she made it to Valinor with Tuor and that Tuor gets to be immortal. You will not convince me otherwise.

“fairer than all the wonders of Gondolin was Idril, Turgon's daughter, she that was called Celebrindal, the Silver-foot, whose hair was as the gold of Laurelin before the coming of Melkor” canon evidence of sexiness! Undeniable proof!

Unfortunately attracted the attention of a certain strange cousin.

Apparently was the original owner of the Elessad???

Had foresight!!

Built a secret way out of Gondolin that saved countless (because idk how many people were in Gondolin lol) lives

They were also the OG leaders of the Havens of Sirion. Very cool

Onlyfeet

UINEN PROPAGANDA (art by Elena Kukanova):

Lady of the seas, lover of fish, probably sings baby shark all day

Her power was so strong she wrenched Ossë away from the Morgussy. Good job Uinen.

Loved by Olwë’s people <3

Ok for some reason Ossë couldn’t do anything about the Noldor stealing the ships but… she could? Why??

The guild of adventurers in Númenor was named after her, called the Uinendili

I think she’s probably fucked Círdan before I can feel it. And Olwë. I just feel it

Gil-galad Variations, featuring all the gil galad theories i've encountered.

I just dipped into Appendix F for an unrelated reason, and I think it’s funny that out of everything Sauron ever did — a master craftsman and teacher, a commander and conqueror, a deceiver and seducer, who achieved so much and, even in defeat, usually came verrrry close and tended just to reappear later all the stronger — one thing he utterly failed at was making Black Speech the common language of all his servants. He made grammar and vocab and syntax, and then the orcs could never figure out how to use his system. They ended up with such a hodge podge of fragmented, bastardized versions of the language that they were often incomprehensible to each other and had to fall back on Westron, the language of their enemies, to be understood even within Mordor.

It feels extremely JRR to me that he would let his Big Bad Villain kill and maim and enslave and despoil the environment, but he simply couldn’t allow Sauron to succeed at…linguistics.

got thrown back into the silmarillion fixation due to a convergence of factors. immediately made this worst thing

It's me, boy, I'm Ulmo, speaking to you inside your brain. Listen to me, boy: tell Turgon to leave Gondolin. We don’t need the city! Come to the sea, I’ll keep you all safe. [wave sounds], yeah. They need to leave, boy, their security is an illusio—

I know that the nitpicking over why the Fellowship didn’t just ride the eagles to fly directly to Mordor has been talked to death, there’s more than enough answers. The Doylist answer is that would stop the whole book from existing, or replace it with a wholly different book all about eagles. The Watsonian answer is that a) the eagles are a noble independent people not a taxi service, b) the quest is a stealth mission and huge massive giant eagles are not stealthy, c) Mordor has air supremacy and the eagles could only fly to Mount Doom after Sauron was defeated and the Nazguls all gone.

But just now, option d) occurred to me: do we really trust the eagles to withstand the ring? If it tempts Gandalf and Galadriel, surely it tempts Gwaihir the Windlord. Do we want to create the Dread Lord of the Skies? He would wear the Ring on his lovely sharp claw! He would fly higher and swifter than the winds of the world! He would build a magnificent nest from the broken timbers of Edoras! He would eat so many people! All elves and men would be forced underground!

Today I found out about mother of pearl carvings and I can't help but think that the Falmari & Falathrim and the Númenoreans definitely have such a craft...
