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.

Yeah, my real estate agents have been great, but the mortgage side has been terrible and the seller has been difficult.

Just unnecessarily stressful!

Why, when I say, "I don't understand anything you just said," do people think that means they should go into more technical detail, not less? (that is very grad school)

Why so many surprise emergency deadlines??? Why won't people just be decent, considerate human beings??

I'm in the process of trying to buy a condo, and it's bringing back the tension headaches I used to get all the time in grad school.
I had not missed them.

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."

Who do I need to fight?

We don't know for sure, but there are candidates

I'm still in the game! Now I just need to prewrite tomorrow's.

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."

Behind but catching up on Sticks of Power! #Tolkientober - Day #3 Crown with some trouble in not-quite paradise for Halbrand Sauron and Galadriel
Stick figure Halbrand Sauron saying “I alone can see your greatness” while stick figure Galadriel looks down from the raft onto the reflection of them wearing crowns. Her thought bubble reads “Then why is your crown bigger than mine?!”

#Tolkientober Day 5: Hope

For this prompt I could only think of the most truly hopeful scene in all Tolkien adaptations for me🖤🤍

P.S: Inspired by "The Swan" by Hilma af Klint✨

#Adar #Galadriel
Colour illustration (in browns, blacks and blues) of Adar and Galadriel standing in front of each other with a hand extended. Adar has Nenya on the palm of his hand and is offering it to Galadriel, who hesitantly extends her hand to take it.

The scene is split in two halves by the tone of the background, very dark behind Galadriel and very bright behind Adar, so Galadriel's figure is silhouetted against the dark background, and Adar's is silhouetted against the light background.

There is a halo of blue light around Nenya, also enveloping their outstretched hands.

There are forms of trees and roots in both backgrounds, white in Adar's half and black in Galadriel's one.

You are NOT lying and you SHOULD give everyone flower crowns. This is precious

#Tolkientober Day 4: Armor

Life, in defiance of death #art
Adar’s armor on the ground, worn from time. Simbelmynë and other wildflowers grow around it

I love how the way you've put them side by side really shows how the warrior armor and horse armor match

Aww, I love him! So innocent and lonely
