The tintinnabulation of bangles alerted Laindawar to the presence of her. That foreigner who sought out those in charge with a dogged passion.

The fact was Laindawar had been doing his best to avoid her for about a week and it vexed him to no end that she found him. It was as if she could sense where he was! Why wouldn’t this <i>Hisildi</i> take the hint? She was not wanted.

OH THIS IS LOVELYYYYYYYYYYYYY

You know, Tolkien just said elves have leaf-shaped ears. He didn’t see what kind of leaf.

I need a Fëanor with one of these

or any elf actually

you rang

please let this post be a giant pile-on with like 20 different artists

Did someone say leaf eared elves

@snartha, @tolkien-in-beleriand and @earlgraytay an addition to the collection :3 Iris and poison ivy leaf-eared elves.

I kind of want to see a story about an elf; tall, beautiful, clumsy as fuck, and an industrial worker who can’t do archery to save themselves and swears all the time.

And I kind of want to see a story about a dwarf; short, robust, hairy, elegant, sweet, very refined and a lover of poetry who’s never said a rude word in their life.

I just think it would be an interesting change of pace.

they’re girlfriends

they’re super fucking cute and i need more of this.

Hi! So I know that in your stories the Dwarves are marvellously accepting of differences in gender/sexuality but what about the elves? I know Mellrin (?) is trans and Legolas treats her just the same, but is this a universal elven concept? <3

Yes, but for different reasons… I reasoned it out this way: Dwarves believe that you are first and foremost a Dwarf, and the differences in sexuality or gender simply do not affect their perceptions of each other – because Dwarves of ALL genders and sexualities are strong, clever, broad and stocky, created by and beloved of Mahal.

When it comes to Elves, particularly Elves of the Third Age (as opposed to the hotheads of the Age of Trees/First Age etc), I had these ideas, idk if they’re well put-together, but here we go!

Elves are, as a race, old. They will live forever. FOREVER, barring accidents or war. The greatest natural threat to their life is from growing so old that they literally fade from existence.

so, if you’re going to live forever, what the hell use is it to deny who you are and whom you love? And if that person there is ALSO going to live forever, then what the heck is the point of imposing your beliefs upon their love and life? Elves have seen wars before – HAVE THEY EVER – and they’ve seen inter-Elf violence and civil war, they’ve got very, very, VERY LONG MEMORIES. They’re a dwindling people, too. And Big Stuff is coming, and they know the signs. They’ve seen them before. They have learned.

So, let’s say you are a different gender to the one everybody initially thought you were? Congratulations, we shall have a marvellous garden party, I’ll bring the Dorwinion, you bring the lembas. And nobody will fight, and everyone will be pleased. We’ve got to stick out the next eight millennia together: I’m with you all the way.

A proposal: instead of Glorfindel’s hair falling like a normal person’s, instead it goes up. Or more or less so. Pretty much just in all directions besides what direction hair is meant to go. Even if you headcanon Glorfindel’s hair to be very long, he is literally the sun as in it is impossible to not see him anywhere. Plus, his height only adds to the effect.

…what

oh my god. Now I am imagining a kind of giant golden dandelion-clock

(the one shaking him is totally Elrond)

@determamfidd I honestly couldn’t resist. Bob Ross wishes his hair was this fluffy.

oh my god squid, that is ADORABLE AND ALSO GORGEOUS AHHHHH

I’m really curious – how old is Legolas, exactly? (at least, how old did you “make” him in your fic, I know there isn’t really much to go on canon-wise.) I always have it in my head that he’s around 2000 years old, but I can’t really remember where I got that from — was it your headcanon? Did someone else estimate that?

I’ve seen 2000 years before somewhere as well! I think that came from the LOTR movies, actually, though I’d have to look it up to be certain.

I’ve got him a little older than that, actually – closer to 2.8K. I’m deliberately vague about it, though, because I dislike nailing down that figure: I like the mystery!

Also Gimli joking about how impossibly ancient Legolas is tickles my funny bone. “One million, wasn’t it laddie?” “STOP.”
