Ilimbë

TheChasm

Fëanor said, “Why do you think the Elf who made Ilimbë loved her?” Nerdanel did not castigate him for the absurdity of the question. “Because she was beautiful, I suppose,” she said; “and all the Eldar love beautiful things.” “But better to make a beautiful thing than to be one,” said Fëanor; “you cannot convince me otherwise.” “Nor do I wish to try!” said Nerdanel. “But why do you think Ilimbë loved her maker, then?” Fëanor had never thought of that question before. “Because,” he said, more hesitantly than was his wont, “well — how could she not? She was made for loving him.” - Fëanor, newly apprenticed in Mahtan’s halls, does not care that Nerdanel does not like him. Her statues are nice enough, but he has far more important things to concern himself with than her approval. And he doesn't think she’s pretty. A story about art, mythology, and learning what exactly you were made for.

Here are my paintings for this year’s @tolkienrsb! The first one is my initial submission; the rest were extra paintings for my lovely author, TheChasm <333

I’ll be adding the promo post for the fic sometime soon, so I won’t mention what these paintings are about quite yet. I think y’all will be able to guess, in any case! XDD

Rec a favorite writer please!

(fic writer appreciation bingo!)

hi hi hi! this is a delightful one. do I have to stick to one? I'm not sticking to one.

some of my all time favorite fanfics are from arriviste. gorgeous writing, amazing story craft, one of the forces that got me into this fandom in the first place.

@melestasflight (Melesta on ao3). do you want heart-wrenching angst? do you want detailed battle strategy? do you want something delightfully funny? they've got it all covered!

@polutrope (ao3) writes porn so good. so so so good. aaa

@thelordofgifs (TheChasm on ao3). incredibly fun longer plottier stories & all the brother feelings!

@searchingforserendipity25. love their style oh my god. the intensity of it all

[thelordofgifs]

Hello and welcome to my Silmarillion/Tolkien sideblog!

The basics:

she/her and an adult

find me at TheChasm on AO3

follows and replies from my main @theghostinthemargins

icon is by the wonderfully talented @biginvisiblespider

And a little about what you can expect from me:

a Maglor enjoyer

"the Eldacar mutual"

co-inventor of the Aerin/Tilion (yes, you read that right) crackship

More seriously, you can find all my writing, including the stuff that wasn't consequential enough to end up on AO3, under the #my fic tag, and my silm musings and ramblings under #my meta.

My fanworks permission statement for transformative works based on my fics can be found here.

Currently my main writing project is the fairest stars, a bullet point AU wherein Beren and Lúthien steal two Silmarils instead of one, and everything goes completely off the rails. You can find the latest instalment, plus regular memes, dvd commentary, and some INCREDIBLE fanart from even more incredible readers, under the tag #the fairest stars – or for easier navigation on tumblr, here's a masterpost with all the important links.

[ymfingsteadilyon]

The good news: Luthien and Beren managed to grab an extra Silmaril and seem open to the idea that strictly speaking they only need one to pay off Thingol with.

The bad news: The aftermath of their adventure got Celegorm killed and Curufin is in full "neither law nor love nor, frankly, basic planning" mode.

Maedhros tries to balance politics, friendship, Oath, Doom, love, trauma, warfare and deeply dysfunctional family dynamics; Maglor tries to find a way to keep him from shattering under the stress. Around them, Luthien tries to find her place in the world, Fingon tries to keep the Eldar from disintegrating, Morgoth tries to get the Silmarils back, and Finrod tries to get Celegorm to pull his head even halfway out of his ass. Some of them might succeed.

About Me

Hello! I've been on Tumblr for all of 15 minutes, so you're probably here because I've just followed you and you're checking I'm not a bot. Things to know about me:

call me ghosti

I read and write a lot of fic - find me on AO3 at TheChasm

I'm currently getting increasingly obsessed with the Silmarillion fandom and Tolkien in general, which is most likely why I followed you

as soon as I have this all figured out, I will make a silm sideblog, and then I will NEVER SHUT UP about elves

I have strong feelings about personal pronouns

Sundering

by TheChasm

At last someone – he did not later recall who – informed him that Maglor would not be returning from Mandos. Maglor had never died; and, as far as anyone knew, he wandered Middle-earth yet, although the Grey Havens were long since abandoned and no ship had sailed the Straight Road for many Ages of the Sun.

Returned to life, Maedhros tries to come to terms with Maglor's absence.
