I Like To Think Of What Bilbo Will See When He Opens His Eyes.

Nightwing fanartpanel of Robbie Rodriguez

Maglor as a La Llorona type figure in Middle Earth during the third age. He's either as faded as he can be without dying or has fades but his ghost roams Middle Earth. Like La Llorona, he can be found by bodies of water, mostly a coast, but it's said that he wails and cries for his children, but Maglor Feanorian never had children right?

He cries mostly for Elrond and Elros, he cries for his twin brothers whom he helped raise, and he cries for family, his desperate need for family and for love and security.

He has been seen approaching both elven and human children, but the Men began to hate him when twin girls disappeared one night and it was said the "Ghost Elf" took them.

Elrond has heard the rumors, but didn't have the time to believe or give much thought to it. That is until he finds a wraith like figure in the nursery of his twin sons. Elrond is frozen but it seems this ghost is too, only quiet crying sounds as shaking hands brushes at the dark hair of the infants. An airy whisper fills the room like a harsh chill:

"Elrond... Elros..."

I made a Sad! Aren't ya proud of me!!?? /j

I had this idea for a while but have finally been able to write it down properly!

What a bittersweet, heart wrenching moment it must have been when Galadriel first met Aragorn and saw he wore the ring that Finrod had given to Barahir so many thousands of years ago. That her brother's love was still being carried as such a treasured symbol of hope.

I think about this a lot.

Something quick and simple with Feanor and Fingolfin

The arrow is kind of random because I didn't want to give swords to both of them. Don't judge me!

Bilbo Baggins, Consort under the mountain lol

I laughed and then I serioused :(

I’m a fucking idiot. I’ve been turning over in my brain why nobody in the Silmarillion seems to get a redemption arc, why nobody seems to be able to make up for the harm they’ve done, etc.

One of the biggest themes in the Silmarillion is “the fall.” The fall from grace, the doomed, the railing against the impossible. Of COURSE nobody gets a redemption arc! It runs counter to the whole point of the book!

Now, Lotr specifically is different. Lotr is about finding hope when all seems lost, and finding allies in unexpected places against the darkness. This allows characters like Boromir to “fall” and yet redeem himself in his final moments, is what allows Sméagol to peek through in Gollum, is what lets Theoden lift his head from Grima’s ear and instead take Gandalf’s counsel.

But the Silmarillion? The Silmarillion is about the fall and doom of the Noldor, the decimation of Beleriand, and the consequences of failing to stop Morgoth. Of course nobody recovers. Of course.

just got here and i'm happy to see so much silmarillion content on tumblr. but everyone's doing ANYTHING to get new content. fighting for crumbs, i've seen morgoth vs fingolfin as giant christmas cookies and crochet elves (cute). at least we found each other. maybe the real silmarillion was the friends we made along the way

wip! need more of boykisser aemond without it being incest PLEASEEEEE
