hey so i went to Cares About You So So Much Island and built a little house and lived there forever and ever until all the stars burned out and the universe went dark (and still i remained)

I’m like Daine + Wolf. (Except he can also keep changing shape). Immortals might vary depending? (Like I don’t know that the gods do (or maybe they do! Little mini version of the black god but for daemons!) Just had an image of a Dragon With A Daemon.

I did Circle of Magic with daemons but hmmm Tortall with daemons is A Thought (listen TROP daemons is a whole different thing) - because I’ve been seeing @eidetictelekinetic Daemon AU(s)

(Also I picked up the Alanna Graphic Novel and was having feels)

I made the Celebrimbor quote my bullet journal quote (writing by me, stickers and brown text paper by papermonogatari).

I feel like crap so - some Saurons Victory Dream Headcanons! All the content notes

@kenobiwaned @plotdesigner @themalhambird

Kids do have three names I just didn’t get to the second two - also they are designed to be (from Saurons POV and if it was any other situation) sweet and thoughtful and combining of their parents while also being very much about Mairons Feelings On The Matter.

Permitted to raise them only in so far as it didn’t interfere with Saurons time with ‘his consorts’ which is definitely what you’d expect.

Sailatar is Finrods (“because you were once a king my dearest and because I see he will be”). Laurealassie is Galadriels (listen ‘golden joy woman’) and Norrin (Fire Queen) is Celeborns and yes they were born at the same time so no, Celeborn and Galadriel were limited in how much they could have supported each other.

The reality version of the twins Celebrimbor has is almost the most internal screaming of all of them but I’ll get to that.

Elmiriel being Elronds AAAAGH. (Also being Elronds image is DOUBLE AAAGH).

Because the reality would have been like (assuming they don’t all manage to, bluntly take poison and make it look like the clan priest did it and send Freyja, Bjorn and Sven away (those three can leave - the others cannot) or you know otherwise).

It only didn’t kill Celebrimbor by like A Very Tiny Margin. (He had the worst case of HG plus eating disorder and really it was via magic). Also Hell Labour. Also ask him about having children who have a Giant Horrible Ancestral Legacy AAAGH.

Ask Finrod about how much worse it somehow is when Saurons being attentive to you in an affectionate loving gentle way rather than torture and also seeing how every bit of his resistance and so much of those he loves gets erased away (also that his sons father name is something to do with what was his carrying fathers symbol of defiance)

Galadriel watching this daughter and knowing that Sauron is going to just flatten her into a palatable to him shape and knowing he’s doing that with her (Gold Cages Mairon adores Galadriels fierceness but only in the way He Likes (eg she’s not actually objecting to him really) or at least the way it was when they had fully bonded when he was Halbrand and like Leaving Out The Rest Of It).

Celeborn watching this (other other) daughter have to do the same (I think of all the kids Norrin might be the one who picks up on everything first) and wondering if he even can protect her (I mean they all do but in my head Norrin I think is the Quietly Scheming Behind Her Embroidery one).

Elrond and Elmiriel AAAAGH (Elronds daughters taking after their father Elrond is real). That’s all I’ve got there. Just AAAGH.

Because I saw a thing that @valar-did-me-wrong reblogged have some Judeo-Persian Elrond/Luthien Vibes In Music.

My as a biracial person thing is that the way Gil-Galad treats Elrond with the peredhel and the ‘above your privilege’ and ‘elf lords only’ is fucking horrendous and made me feel sick and listen to be clear I adore Gil-Galad. He loves his son Elrond. I think he’s horrified once he realises but…one thing re (I’m going to use biracial here but obviously true for others) biracial thing is that so often you are…it’s like you are X identity until you Are Not or you can’t be Y until you are but you aren’t either anyway.

(So Elrond is ‘just an elf’ until he isn’t. He’s not a human but he is. And then the maia thing. And people picking out parts of him (which OH I FEEL THAT) or trying to work out like, ‘how much do you look X/Where Do You Really Come From’ or Pick One)*

*Elrond and Elros do and they don’t. Because we get to Aragorn and in the books he says “Elrond is the oldest of our race” and the twins identified as ‘sons of Elrond’ and Elrond Half-Elven and how he specifically names himself as the line of Luthien.

So really I would love to read things about that reckoning with. (Also Elrond and the loss of his birth culture is !!!!! (Sirion. His mother and the maia heritage. All that love. I think about how Elrond and Elros were the only ones like each other for so long and AAAGH).

I just want y'all to know I check my tumblr in the morning and someone's discussing ecology restoration and someone is posting photos of medieval manuscripts and someone is gushing about a blorbo I've never heard of but it clearly just makes them so happy and someone has tagged me in a quiz and someone is speculating about an aspect of Middle-Earth or Greek mythology that I honestly have never considered and maybe making art about it and everyone is making their little corner of existence better and more loving in some way and I just love y'all so much

I'm hardly ever on here except once in a blue moon, but I hope you're doing well and that you know there are people in the world who believe in Israel's right to exist and the Iranian people's right to live free of the IRGC.

Also, I read Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner recently and thought of you 💖

I so so put that on my want to read list. Also as a Persian Jew especially this means so so so much. Thank you lovely human 🫶🏼

I was staring in delight at @kenobiwaned tags because YES. That was what I was going for (I actually described it in the replies as ‘I wanted it be so loving and tender - gentle loving banter, a family day except the Uncanny Fucking Valley Horror’) - that Sauron is taking everything from them out of a desire to ‘keep them/keep them safe’ and it really is like - a golden cage is still a cage quote because no matter how Sauron moulds it to himself he’s still chaining them and who they are away.

(Also the things that happened to the people they loved here are AAAGH),

[malkaleh]

@verecunda got me thinking about Uncorrupted Mairon version of ‘Eonwe finds him on Morgoths knee’ Morgoth is doing exactly the same thing, except Mairon is absolutely chained up and Morgoth does in fact say “but who will look after my precious”
