And like the dawn you broke the dark

You were the brightest shade of sun I had ever seen

Your skin was gilded with the gold of the richest kings

And like the dawn you woke the world inside of me

You were the brightest shade of sun when I saw you

Fingon content I promised! I swear I got the motivation to do an entire comic to these lyrics but I do not have the TIME so maybe someday!

Song is “Like the dawn” by the Oh Hellos! The pose was vaguely inspired by the Greek statue “Marathon Ephebe”

Does anyone just like. think about Fingon. and then you can’t stop thinking about Fingon and then. you gotta talk about him or draw him or something or like. explode. Just me?

as a Regular Guy who happens to read ~300 books a year i feel the particular responsibility to refuse the bookfluencer industrial complex and remind people that identity as a reader is based solely on whether or not you happen to enjoy pleasure reading, not achieving some numerical goal or having the hottest take

Maedhros wandering

I speed ran this in about an hour after seeing @gizamalblythe‘s amazing post about Maedhros living ! I hope it does the vision justice

writing historical fic set in real places is so scary. what if someone who knows more about Philadelphia's timeline to move from gas to electric streetlamps reads my fanfiction and laughs at me

Redrawing timmmeeee

Literally on a whim wanted to draw this old drawing again

[rainfeather13]

Small doodles I did ages ago from this fic about fae elves that I love (I didn't even have a tumblr account yet so it's kind of a dream coming true eheh)

[rainfeather13]

The only thing funnier to me about the Nereb and Dungalef thing than like. the fact that Beren and Felagund genuinely just used their own names but backwards as fake names in itself. is that it actually worked

like Thû did not figure out their identities from their fake names. the fake names worked, they served their purpose. he couldn't discover who they actually were. (granted that he found out later but that was in a completely different way that had nothing to do with which fake names they'd given him)

like genuinely it's just the funniest thing. fucking Nereb and Dungalef. canonically fool the character-that-will-become-sauron

anyone who says Tolkien isn't funny is dead wrong

Tolkien OC Week

A fandom event for OCs and underdeveloped characters in Tolkien's world!

This event celebrates both characters of Tolkien's world and our own characters that need more love, by creating and reblogging all kind of fanworks, like fanfiction, fanart, fanvideos, fancrafts, headcanons, playlists, edits, moodboards etc.

The event is modded by @yellow-faerie and @elamarth-calmagol, and will take place between 25th August - 31st August 2025 for the fourth year running.

NSFW text entries are allowed and we’ll tag them accordingly when we reblog them, but please put them behind a “read more”.

We'll also be tracking the tag #tolkienocweek during this week!

*******************************************

Event schedule for 2025:

1. Family Members (25th August)

Tolkien may have given us all the family trees of the hobbits, but he definitely didn't finish the ones for elves, dwarves, or rangers. Add an original character to a gap in a family tree, such as a missing wife, or create a whole new family member, like a second child for Galadriel and Celeborn.

2. Diversity (26th August)

It isn't the 1940s anymore! Create an OC whose race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, neurotype, or disability differs from what people usually imagine when they picture Middle Earth. For a world to feel real, its people must be diverse!

3. Forgotten Characters (27th August)

With so many versions of his stories, Tolkien dropped a lot of characters along the way. Choose one of these forgotten characters, such as Finwe's daughter Faniel, and share a fanwork about them.

4. Alternate Universes (28th August)

Share an OC from an alternate universe, such as a modern character isakai-d into Middle Earth, a daughter for Feanor, or a post-canonical love interest for someone who died in the original story. Anything goes!

5. Relationships (29th August)

Today, share an original character who is close to a canon character in some way. The relationship does not have to be romantic or sexual. The characters might be friends, colleagues, neighbors, or even arch enemies. What matters for this prompt is exploring the relationships between the original and canon characters.

6. Off the Map (30th August)

Tolkien's maps only stretch do far into the east and south, and his images of Valinor show even less. Today, give us a character who doesn't live within the bounds of the canonical maps. Maybe they live in Harad or Rhun, or the briefly mentioned continent created to the west of sunken Numenor when the world was made round, or even another planet within Arda.

7. Freeform

Every fandom week has to have a free day! Choose a prompt to do a second time, expand on an OC you already shared, or share an OC that doesn't fit any prompt.

*******************************************

Since we want to celebrate creations about neglected characters all year long, the mods will occasionally reblog posts and fancreations about OCs and underdeveloped characters. If you would like to see your post on our blog, you're very welcome to tag #tolkienocweek. Since tumblr's tagging system is often being faulty, don't hesitate to message us, too!

We are looking forward to see and share all the awesome work you come up with!

My kettle arrived today and it's lovely.

But most importantly, it came in a coveted box of packing paper. War has broken out.

Feanor in his “halls alone” everafter

Can’t say I’d blame him
