my favorite minor fact in the tolkien universe is that there's a mountain range named for how loud the greatest enemy of the valar screamed his fucking lungs out while running away as fast as he physically can from the giant eldritch void spider who he tried to pspspsps out of her cave and into his faction

I was reminded recently of this map I made when I first read the Silm, showing the general outlines of each realm in Beleriand after the Noldor arrived, so here it is in case it helps anyone. Granted, since this was my first read-through when I made it, there could be inaccuracies.

Key:

red - Sons of Feanor (specific territories for each son are outlined with dashed lines and labelled; dashed lines extending beyond the territory shows areas they are mentioned wandering/being in, but are not specifically said to have been their realms)

orange - Sons of Finarfin (specific territories for each son are labelled)

green - Thingol

jade - Green elves

light blue - Cirdan

dark blue - Fingolfin & his sons (specific territories for each person are outlined with dashed lines and labelled; dashed lines extending beyond the territory shows areas they are mentioned wandering/being in, but are not specifically said to have been their realms)

black wording - Dark elves (not outlined because it says they wander here, implying it isn't a specific realm of theirs)

magenta - Ungoliant and her offspring

Ang-gang!!!

For angbang week instead of reading "angbang" I read "angang" and started doing it XDD so I'm posting it now.

Manwe is here because he wants free drinks or because he is actually an essential part of Angband. Whatever you prefer.

Is this one of the wonkiest things I have ever made? Yes.

Is it also one of the silliest things I have ever made? Also yes.

Still, BE MORE UNGOLIANT - the baddest of all badasses in Arda.

[whiteladyofithilien]

I truly think that the greatest of all of Samwise Gamgee's great deeds is the mortal blows to Shelob. Shelob the spawn of Ungoliant. Ungoliant who destroyed the trees in Valinor at Morgoth's bidding. This deed ranks above even Gandalf's slaying of the Balrog as far as sheer badassery goes.

Here is this little Hobbit who's spent his life gardening and just admiring elves as a thing in songs and far above him doing a deed so great that any elf lord in all the history of Arda would bow to him for it. The orcs thought there was a mighty elf warrior in the passage and they weren't too far off. Any ancient hero of elven lore would have ranked slaying the spawn of Ungoliant as one if not the greatest of his achievements.

There may be no more amazing deed of heroism in all the trilogy than this. Shelob the last descendant of the most foul of all creatures brought down by Samwise Gamgee. It's even more epic than Eowyn and Merry slaying the Witch-King for this is a remnant of a far more ancient evil. An evil that never was anything but evil. No tragic seduction by the Dark Lord here. Just the spawn of the light eating wholly evil giant spider who terrified even Morgoth.

I believe the core differences between the two dark lords of Arda can be summed up with two facts:

One Dark Lord almost got himself eaten by the resident giant demon spider.

The other Dark Lord referred to the resident giant demon spider as "his cat" and occasionally sent her his servants to eat to keep her happy and to amuse himself.

MORGOTH VS UNGOLIANT

“And in that very hour Melkor and Ungoliant came hastening over the fields of Valinor, as the shadow of a black cloud upon the wind fleets over the sunlit earth; and they came before the green mound Ezellohar.” - the Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien

Melkor doesn't like shibari

Darkening of Valinor

“The Elder knew not when she came; but some have said that in ages long before she descended from the darkness that lies about Arda, when Melkor first looked down in envy of the Kingdom of Manwë, and that in the beginning she was one of those that he corrupted to his service. But she had disowned her Master, desiring to be mistress of her own lust, taking all things to herself to feed her emptiness; and she fled to the south, escaping the assaults of the Valar and the hunters of Oromë, for their vigilance had ever been to the north, and the south was long unheeded. Thence she had crept towards the light of the Blessed Realm; for she hungered for light and hated it.

In ravine she lived, and took the shape as a spider of monstrous form, weaving her black webs in a cleft of the mountains. There she sucked up all the light that she could find, and spun it forth again in dark nets of strangling gloom, until no light more could come to her abode; and she was famished.” -J. R. R. Tolkien

“So I offer you something much better.” “Why wouldn’t you devour it yourself? Why share?” “I don’t need it, I just need it gone.” “That is hard to believe. Does the Hunger not bother you?” “My hunger is different from yours.” (a fragment of an illustration for the fanfic by @eternal-fear)

[daily-smol-silm]

If you are taking requests / suggestions / whatever to call it: smol Ungolianth biting into a dandelion (which is comperatively big)

But if you don't feel like it, no pressure!

Day #67 - Accomplice

Two problems for the price of one :0

Bonus extra big dandelion:

i do think in pre-darkening aman kids were largely free-roamed. like it's a land where there's nothing to really worry about outside of accidents. even if they fall into the ocean or something i bet you a friendly maia spirit is going to be fishing them out.

elven parents are not particularly worried if their kids go missing for a few days here and there. probably eating dinner at a friend's or going one some kinda forest adventure.
