Gollum’s 500 year old tattered rags: has pockets where he keeps "fishbones, goblins’ teeth, wet shells, a bit of bat-wing, a sharp stone to sharpen his fangs on, and other nasty things.”
Long time no see… so have some imaginary of the Valar Aule and Yavanna. I’ve my own thoughts and ideas why I drew them the way they’re shown but I’m gonna keep it for later :>
probably one of the most incredible pieces of fanart i’ve ever laid eyes upon
the thing about lotr that the movies don’t convey so fully is how the story is set in an age heavily overshadowed by all the ages before. they’re constantly traveling through ruins, discussing the glory of days gone by, the empires of men are much diminished, the elves (especially galadriel) are described as seeming incongruent, frozen in time….some of the imagery is even near-apocalyptic, like the ruins of moria and of course the landscape surrounding mordor
this is a strange thought to me, somehow: that the archetypal “high fantasy” story is set at the point where the…fantasy…used to be much higher? this is not the golden age; this is a remnant
LotR is Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome of the elves.
i want to emphasize that people have added excerpts of their theses in reply to this post but this is still my favorite reblog
Hello everyone! Thanks to everyone who’s following me! It means a lot, even though I’m barely active here anymore…
Anyways, I’ve reached 2k followers and I thought that’d be a good time to giveaway! I’ve been clutching onto this for a while, but I have 3 copies of the YoI Tarot deck and, contrary to my beliefs, the Ice Silver deck is the one I decided to giveaway!
(1) winner will receive a full deck, the box it came in, the pouch included, as well as 3 pins and 1 arcylic charm.
All you have to do is reblog this post! You can only enter once. Meaning if you reblog it multiple times, I’ll still only count it as one entry.
- NO GIVEAWAY BLOGS.
