#Tolkientober - Day 9: Fall

"and [Tuor] cast him far out, and his body as it fell smote the rocky slopes of Amon Gwareth thrice ere it pitched into the flames below."Tolkien, Silmarillion

#Maeglin #FallOfGondolin #Silmarillion

Maeglin is falling his hair and wind swept upwards. His right arm is outstretched upwards. His facial expression is full of fear and terror. Below the flames engulf him

A bit over 500 words for #Tolkientober Day 8: Rings
"'One is for you,' Celebrimbor said. But she knew already."
Perhaps I ship Galadriel/Nenya.

#Tolkientober day 8: rings

“…the jewels green that burned
in Beren's ring. These Noldor had set as eyes of serpents twined that met beneath a golden crown of flowers, that one upholds and one devours.”

A small watercolor painting of the ring of Barahir: two silver snakes with emerald eyes entwined beneath a crown of golden flowers. One has its mouth open to eat the flowers. The background is a gradient wash of indigo blue, pale around the ring and darkening into the corners of the paper

A belated #Tolkientober Day 7: Osanwë
"The first time, she thought she must have been mistaken. Imagining things. She was half delirious, collapsed onto the bottom of the raft, when she felt a presence lingering just outside the bounds of her mind."

In retrospect, there was a big sign that something was wrong at Khazad-dûm #Tolkien #art

Is that even possible 🤯

MGCoco | Tolkientober 🎨 @mgcoco.bsky.social · 23h

I sound like a girl defending her mediocre boyfriend BUT it’s an otome game so he was very sweet otherwise!

Spoilers?? /////

Also you learn during the story that he’s actually a prince from another country, he just really wanted to finish his research before the deadline to go home

MGCoco | Tolkientober 🎨 @mgcoco.bsky.social · 23h

I once played an otome game where the guy I picked to romance turned out to be like a grad student who spent all day in lab, had a tiny apartment with no furniture, and didn’t have time to cook so he just ate frozen pasta all the time. 😭

I’m doing a TRoP villains series on Instagram mainly with the #inktober prompts. ☺️

Andreth has brown, braided hair she is holding with both her hands as she looks wishfully up to her right. She has brown green eyes and a dark tattoo on her lip to her chin and hands. She is wearing a green dress with a blue belt, a redish coat over, and a cape shaped like moth wings with fur on top. Her braid is held with bronze pins shaped like moths as well as pale ribbons. She is wearing a belt, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings in bronze and different coloured pearls, as well as a loose cirlet.
