Look at this family of nerds. What a bunch of loosers!
Will redraw it digitaly later, so please exuse the crappy phonecamera for now. >A>

Updated with a scanned version. Now you can actually see them properly! 8D

Headcanons about the dolls: Once all the stories are told and peace comes, dolls of literally everyone get made: there’s Faramir, Eowyn and Eomer, Theoden (and their horses), Treebeard and the Ents, Each wizard, Radagast and his rabbits and sled, Saruman (2 versions: one with white robes and another tye-died), the 2 Blue Wizards, there’s even one of Gandalf’s Shadowfax. Of elves like Elrond, Celeborn, Galadriel, Arwen, Elladan, Elrohir, Haldir, etc. (Part 1)

(Part 2) Laerophen eventually ends up with dolls of his brothers and father while in Erebor (Gimizh and the kids give them to him; they worry about their loved ones too and the dolls help them so they figure the dolls would help him too). He’s not quite sure what to do with them, but he keeps them anyway safe in his room and they go with him back to the Greenwood. Legolas eventually visits Erebor and gets them too, along with a Gimli, Tauriel, Fellowship set, and dolls of the friends he made.

(Part 3) Gandalf was given a doll of Bilbo by a dwarfling years ago and couldn’t refuse it. He secretly loves the dolls and has collected a doll of everyone he’s ever met since. He keeps them safe in Rivendell and takes them with them when he sails. (It’s a large chest that ends up holding them all.)

This is all SO cute, omfg. I can’t believe that a little detail in the fic has turned into such a lovely world-building thing, and that people are thinking up their own headcanons for it! *boggles and awwws* 

(I AM TOTALLY STUCK ON TIE-DYED SARUMAN HELP HELP HE IS SO TUBULAR AND RAD)

Is it possible that before Dagor Dagorath there was a great need of new Orcs and Goblins so the enemy captured elves and, as in days of old, tortured and twisted them until they became what he needed them to be? Is that even how Orcs are made or did I miss something big? (I’m jut asking out of curiosity and not because I’m planning a mega sad Arda remade fic, nope, not at all *shoves notes under a desk while whistling*)

Hey Nonnie!

I suppose it is possible! However, here’s a thought I had: Dagor Dagorath itself is meant to be the return of Melkor from beyond ‘the door of night’ which frankly makes me think of one of those old lavvy doors with the crescent moon cut into it 

sooooo, because all of his servants/cronies/hangers-on are p much defeated long before Melkor returns, I am not sure who it would be who was nicking Elves and twisting them. It would take a long long time to corrupt an Elf sufficiently enough to call them an Orc, I expect. And I don’t know that the newly-returned Melkor would have leisure, what with the whole Ragnarok business.

There’s also the notion that by Dagor Dagorath, all the Elves would have sailed for Aman (or dwindled and disappeared) and so would be under the Valar’s far more direct protection…? Eh. 

IDK, those are only some ideas, and no doubt there is more to consider that I can’t think of rn and dun wanna research (I am being tired and grumbly tonight, don’t mind me). Still – don’t let anything I have blabbed about stop you! WRITE THAT DAGOR DAGORATH ANGST FIC, ALL THE ELVES-TO-ORCS, ALL THE TEARS, YESSSS, TO HECK WITH IT. 

my kingdom for Morgoth being in the loo all that time, hahahaha

I stumbled across this post the other day, and even though it’s really neat, I noticed a couple errors in the math and the image is way too small to read. So I completely remade it because I’m a giant nerd (and the OP’s blog has been deleted so I have no way of getting in touch with them). I mean, normally I wouldn’t care enough to do something like this, but bloodlines are very important in Tolkienverse which makes me, in turn, very interested in the exact breakdowns.

Also because—ever since I read Silm—I’ve wanted to know exactly how ‘elven’ Elrond actually is because I knew for sure it wasn’t literally half. It turns out Elrond is 56.25% elf, 37.5% human, and 6.25% maiar. The more you know.

BRUH

LotR/Hobbit sketches from today’s stream

-Thranduil and Legolas

– Boromir, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli

– Gimli and Legolas (Gigolas huhuhu UuU)

– Frodo, Pippin, and Merry (I started drawing Sam but I wasn’t satisfied with it so i left it out :’c )

Silm 80s music. Finrod taking his boombox to compete in “songs of mastery” with Sauron. Luthien singing catchy pop songs to lull Sauron to sleep. Also Ulmo as being a patron of music. Just water being the radio of Middle-Earth.

With Maglor as Freddie Mercury? YUP

DJs Osse and Uinen host ME’s version of Countdown/MTV/Top of the Pops. 

also how how how did I forget the neon omfg, fluoro everywhere, everything looking like a packet of highlighters threw up on it

Hi Dets! I’ve been re-reading Sansukh and going through your posts on Legolas’ brothers, and I’ve come to the conclusion that none of Thranduil’s sons were married before the War of the Ring; is this correct? If so, what — if any — impact would this have on Thranduil when Legolas makes his relationship with Gimli known? (does Thranduil even want his sons to get married in the first place?)

Hmm. No, none of them are married, you’re right.

So, I am writing Elves as a slightly different kettle of fish to Dwarves. From Tolkien’s writings, it appears that Elves can all be considered demisexual to varying degrees. Sex can ONLY occur when love is present, and sex itself is the act of marriage.

Laindawar is very, VERY introverted. He has only really ever been close to one person: his brother Laerophen, to be frank. He likes his solitude. He is often mistaken for aloof, because he simply prefers his own company. He has never fallen in love, and doesn’t want or expect to.

Laerophen wouldn’t be averse to falling in love one day, but he is far beyond the age when an Elf customarily finds their love. It’s not unheard of for an older Elf to find love, but Laerophen doesn’t think it likely.

Legolas is also beyond the age when Elves are most likely to settle down. He was quite resigned to it, and was ready to be the Prince his father expected him to be.

WHOOPS 😉

Thranduil would have terribly mixed feelings over his sons’ finding a partner. His own experience has been one of great joy followed by terrible loss, and he would NEVER want that for his sons. In the films he warns Tauriel away from Legolas out of a sense of protectiveness rather than classism against ‘lowly Silvan Elves’, to my mind (though of course the classism is a lovely excuse to use – Thranduil doesn’t easily reveal his true feelings without a LOT of prompting or provocation).

So, a bit rambly, but there’s some of my thoughts, Nonnie!
