Mostly a ref for me because I can never remember how I draw gramps Madara.

My go-to is floofy hair, immaculate manicure, Uchiha pride, and eye connoisseur.

"'The words are in the elven-tongue of the West of Middle-earth in the Elder Days,' answered Gandalf. 'But they do not say anything of importance to us. They say only: The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter. And underneath small and faint is written: I, Narvi, made them. Celebrimbor of Hollin drew these signs.'" - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring, "A Journey in the Dark"

“You will hear thunder and remember me”

by Anna Akhmatova

You will hear thunder and remember me, And think: she wanted storms. The rim Of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson, And your heart, as it was then, will be on fire. That day in Moscow, it will all come true, when, for the last time, I take my leave, And hasten to the heights that I have longed for, Leaving my shadow still to be with you.
