Tolkien Elves - Blog Posts
Elves yawn like snakes. Pass it on…
Just finished reading “Tiny Minstrels” on AO3!!! I loved it!!!
Does anyone know other fanfics where elves (or any other race) react to music?
Leave the tittle below if you do- I would love to read them! THANK-YOU IN ADVANCE :)
Writing Prompt
Elronds reaction to the story of Cassandra and Apollo.
Just think of how hard that would hit Elrond.
Bonus points if it’s a child telling him the story. (Don’t know why but I love the whole child telling a profound story to the adult thing).
If anyone uses this please link it in the comments- I would love to read it!!! ❤️
Victorian sensibility
Elrond knew he shouldn’t stare - he shouldn’t be taking advantage of Lindir like this!
Lindir’s new outfit was something else, a perfect blue that hugged his small waist and fell short of covering his ...ankles.
Celegorm: I think I'm forgetting something. Huan: Morals? Celegorm: No, not that. Something that's actually important. Huan:
ooooooh I love this concept
Headcannon:
Tolkien describes many of the elves in LOTR as ‘beautiful and perilous’ or some other combination to the same effect. What if Elves created uncanny valley effects towards the other races of Middle-earth?
The elves keep a little too still.
They blink, but hardly enough to be ‘normal’.
Their skin is a little too perfect.
Elves’ grace feels more predatory.
They can be completely silent.
In conclusion, give me more unsettling Tolkien elves. Please, fanfic writers I beg you.
It seems that my-- apparently controversial-- opinion that incest is bad and gross isn't that widely accepted in the Silmarillion Fandom. The amount of fics I've seen where people are shipping characters that are first cousins is honestly nauseating.
I'm not trying to yuck anybodies yum, but yall nasty.
I understand that there's not that large of a shipping pool, considering many of the characters are related, but goddamn there are like a million elves in Tolkien's works. I don't care if you have to ship characters who have never even interacted in Canon. Please please please, no more incest fics!
Caranthir. Whats he blushing about? Is it a crush? Or maybe his brothers are embarrassing him?
*Gasp* and Feanor thought it was Morgoth who stole his silmarils this whole time- but it was actually his own youngest sons?!?! I present to you the twins, Ambarussa
Elves (Speculative Biology)
If elves were real, what do you think they’d descend from? Personally I find them being a subspecies to be a little bit boring. Please lmk!! I’m considering for my fantasy world
I came up with the idea for this sketch ages ago but kept forgetting to draw it
limited palette amrod and amras
I have one light hearted complaint for the silmarillion fandom and that is that we don’t draw characters with hair coverings often enough.
I used to do metal work and if you don’t cover your hair you’ll absolutely set it on fire at least a little at some point. also if you’re doing dusty work with wood or stone or anything like that covering your hair to keep the dust out of it is a win
limited palette caranthir
I’ll probably do the rest of the seven in limited palettes for funsies
Galadriel my beloved
I saw a post where someone essentially said “baby Elrond or Elros with glowing eyes floating ominously in the doorway saying dads I threw up” but I can’t find it anymore so if anyone knows who made the post let me know so I can credit them!
* the OP is @thesummerestsolstice !!!
a very sad little child
I’m back on my elves wearing mourning veils shit
I know opinions on maeglin are mixed which is honestly valid but for me I just see him as more tragic than anything. like dude’s life was so shitty in a way where everything going horribly wrong just kind of seemed inevitable
the last two standing
I can’t remember where I saw it but someone made a headcanon that elves wear mourning veils and I absolutely loved the idea. I can’t see maedhros wearing one most of the time since he kind of needs to be recognizable. I also vibe with idea of elves having complex and meaningful hair braiding practices but it’s just so much more fun to paint loose hair
when you just wanna live your life but then accidentally invent ppd, die and somehow it all gets worse from there
