Jour 8: ANNEAUX

Dans cette version des énigmes de Bilbo et Gollum, l'ANNEAU est représenté par deux arpèges suspendues qu'on entend au tout début et à la fin: j'y trouve à la fois fascination et corruption (la base descend d'un demi-ton).

Ósanwë: The door is shut. She has slammed it, latched the lock, dropped the key into the depths. But, now and again, drifting in the outer corners of her awareness, the light slipping through the cracks distorts, shadow moving on the other side. She reaches out a hand, draws it back.

Day 5 of #tolkientober "Hope"
"Estel" the name given to Aragorn by his foster father means hope...and I feel like this moment really captured that feeling for my beloved Pelargir,the war,and for the cursed as well to finally having the chance to fulfill their oath.

#Tolkientober day 6: seafarers

“Then Legolas built a grey ship in Ithilien, and sailed down Andiun and so over Sea; and with him, it is said, went Gimli the Dwarf. And when that ship had passed an end was come in Middle-earth of the Fellowship of the Ring.”

“The sea is always right.”

Elendil the Tall, a mariner and seafarer like most Númenóreans but also the man who would lead the Faithful to the shores of Middle Earth.

Sticks of Power gets a bit meta with yesterday’s #Tolkientober prompt #3 Hope, and nothing gave me hope like Arondir and Bronwyn’s ill-fated love. Miss you, love you original otp 😭

Stick figure Arondir holding hands beneath a tree with stick figure Bronwyn. Hearts surround them. A stick figure artist watches them on the tv screen box crying while an arrow points to the artist that says “Myrs w/ her feels”

Fresh-from-the-oven ficlet for #Tolkientober Day 6: Seafarers
I thought, "Okay, this could be about Galadriel and Halbrand on the raft or it could be about Numenor," and then I thought, "fuck it, it's both."

Seafarers: The song of the sea whispers in her heart, a never-ending call. They are not seafarers, the elves, but the foam of the tides whispers of home. Once she lived across the ocean. And yet in this land she has been born anew, once, twice, again. The ocean calls, but roots sink into the earth.

Car il ne bougeaient pas, non plus qu’ils ne parlaient avec la bouche, regardant d’esprit à esprit ; et seuls leurs yeux lumineux étincelaient et s’animaient au va et vient de leurs pensées."

Puissé-je moi aussi vous transmettre de bonnes pensées par l’Ósanwe!

Bonsoir! 🧙
