Colors: The autumnal forest is awash with life. Galadriel feels keenly every note of it, Nenya humming along with every breath. In the ground she plants a tree, a gift from the waves. Green and silver leaves wreath the sapling, but many shift into gold. They are bright the colors, filled with hope.

Relic: There are more relics in Galadriel’s life than she would wish for. In her hands, the phantom of her brother’s blade. In a chest, locked away, a pouch bearing the seal of a dead man she never, in the end, met at all. And somewhere, in a room for two abandoned, a different ring gathers dust.

I'm now halfway through reposting all my Tolkientober ficlets on AO3. They're all TRoP-compliant, mostly 200-600-word glimpses into the life of Galadriel from her arrival in Middle Earth through the aftermath of the One Ring's destruction.

All my Tolkientober ficlets in one place on AO3! I'll be (hopefully) posting one of them per day.

I've definitely gotten more likes on my Tolkientober fics since I hit the one with Haladriel in

12. Brotherhood. Survival forged a brotherhood amongst survivors. The elves that live now in Rivendell, the that fled a sinking city, and, though she could never have envisioned it not so long ago, the Uruk who seek peace. Evil does not sleep, it waits. But good sleeps not either, it swells.

🧙‍♂️🧵 2/ Let’s begin! This week’s theme (Week 142) is “The Great War”. Please use the following tags when you join in: #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien and #Tolkientober. You can tweet art, quotes, thoughts, blogs, academic work, reading recommendations, etc. 🗨️
Trewsday is the Hobbit name for Tuesday! Tolkien Trewsday is a community event across several online spaces: Twitter, BlueSky and now the Tolkien Society Discord server. Each week we form a fellowship to collectively post about a pre-selected theme about Tolkien (his works and his life) as well as adaptions, academic writing and creative stuff such as fanfic, fanart and cosplay. Themes are selected by myself (the organiser) and also via polls or guest hosts/curators. Together we will build a collective outpouring of creativity, knowledge and love for J.R.R. Tolkien. The inspiration for this comes from the highly successful #FolkloreThursday which engaged lovers of Folklore, academics, artists and more to share their love of folklore. We only ask that if you are joining in, please do so with courtesy and kindness in your posts/tweets. This is a positive-action community event, open to all and supportive of fan diversity. Intolerance, racism, bigotry have no place here. Thank you! A new year means a new design! In 2025 the Two Trees remain symbolic but now Telperion (Silver Tree) has a sword trunk and Laurelin (Gold Tree) has a staff trunk.

Mais nan!
J'ai suivi le #Tolkientober sans même remarquer le #Tolktober avec des thèmes différents !
How could I be such a fool of Took?
Je reposte les magnifiques illustrations qui en sont nées...

I'm really proud of this finale piece, and proud that I managed to complete all 31 #Tolkientober prompts. Thanks to anyone who engaged with my writing over the past month!

Life kept me from completing #Tolkientober yesterday, but here it is today: my 31st and last piece for #tolkientober2025: Destruction
"They said Lúthien tore down the fortress of Tol-in-Gaurhoth with mind and magic alone."
Enjoy the Fall of Dol Guldur!

#Tolkientober Day 31: Destruction

Frodo and Sam watch as Gollum falls into the fires of Mount Doom, the One Ring still in hand.

With the destruction of the Ring, Sauron is at last defeated. And so ends Tolkientober (even though I’m quite late for this)!
A black and white illustration of the destruction of the One Ring. Frodo and Sam are on a rocky platform. They are scratched and injured, and their clothes are torn and dirty. Frodo is on his knees and he is clutching his bloodied right hand. Sam stands behind Frodo and has one hand on his shoulder. They are both looking at Gollum, who is falling into the fires of Mount Doom with the One Ring still in his hand.

day 31 of #tolkientober "Destruction" Maglor moments after tossing in the last symbol of the oath that led to crumbling and severing of so many things. A history and an act that would also wither him as well.

#Tolkientober day 31: destruction

Then Feanor laughed as one fey, and he cried: "Let those that cursed my name, curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar! Let the ships burn!” Then Maedhros alone stood aside, but Feanor caused fire to be set to the white ships of the Teleri

Thème: DESTRUCTION

"Les cloches sonnaient dans le Val
Les hommes guettaient, le teint pâle
Et le Dragon, sur leurs maisons
Abattit son ire brutale.

Le Mont fumait au clair de lune:
Adieu trésor! Adieu Fortune!
Dehors les Nains, cruel destin,
Sont tombés dans le clair de lune..."
Le Hobbit : Par monts brumeux (chanson des Nains)
