…of half of the Universe.
The feeling when you succeed to save third of your people from your own sister but after that came up some purple jerk and kills half of the third of your people and then he makes dust from half of the half of the third of them …and therefore, my dear children, fractions are teached in schools.
When you have shawarma and whiskey on the same day and you feel like Tony Stark.
Why did Eru create Arda? Because he didn’t have Netflix…
Irony of fate is when in Spotify free starts playing ,,You Can’t Always Have What You Want".
I really hate when someone offers for me five hundred camels and tells me I have beautiful eyes, but he just wants to sell me a tea.
I have a feeling this won’t get a lot of notes, as the majority of people only know characters from the movies (which is totally fine) but I just wanted to see.
The end of Infinity War killed all the giant pandas.
Face it: with their luck there is no way they survived.
(The amphibians are probably also dead.)
Maybe it’s weird but I genuinly like spiders. They’re fascinating (especially their webs) - eight legs and all.
And when you look at it from the right perspective, Shelob and Ungoliant are both such a strong female characters.
I actually could be on this “third side”.
Okay, so we’re often led to believe that spiders = the Dark Lords, especially in LOTR, where its like “lol yea spiders just hang around Mordor” and in lore for the Hobbit, too, where its like “lol Necromancer’s land is riddled with em” but… does he even fuckin’ like the spiders??? We never see him use them. They’re just AROUND. In the shadows. Trailing him, picking on his Orcs as much as anyone else. I mean, he seems to like Shelob? But that doesn’t necessarily mean he likes all the others… Or is this just like… Him being all “fuck it I’m tired of existence, I’ll align myself to the spiders, too… cause you knnow what they threw my master in the Void and drowned me” I’ve always assumed that since Ungoliant isn’t a creation of Melkor, her brood aren’t even really allies of the Dark Forces. I’ve always seen them as their own faction.
I want to see how many of us there are and it’s been a few months since one of these last went around. I know some people have joined/started making content in that time, and I’d like to include them in this. So I’ll start:

I don't think I understand dwarves. I get that Khazad-dûm is their main, greatest and most beautiful city, a cultural treasure, but some pretty terrible things did happened there. And yet all they want is to reclaim it again and actually live there. It's like if elves were trying to restore the ruins of Gondolin (were it possible). "Sure, it was our most beautiful stronghold once, but on the other hand thousands of our people died here horribly... which doesn't give me nightmares at all..." I mean, the dwarves deserve our respect.
mutuals try this: reblog for fingolfin. like for finarfin
My heart is broken... These princes were so unique.
Scarlet Heart: Ryeo → Princes
Other fandoms: Everybody dies
Silmarillion fandom: 5 or 6 people doesn’t mean everybody. Everybody means everybody

Well, the yellow stockings are so exciting, I mean:
Can we just talk for a moment about Thorin wearing ‘yellow stockings’?
You know, for all that the elves are beautifully described by Tolkien to have a deep cultural connection to the stars, the only character in Middle Earth that I would really label an astronomer is a mortal man: Tar-Meneldur, the fifth king of Numenor.
Tar-Meneldur was actually born “Irimon”,...
Mix for Aredhel and Eöl.

Beleg before his hair turned silver because of Turin old age.
Don’t worry, I’m still doing modern au requests, I was just hit by inspiration.
For the anon who asked about life drawing, here’s an example of how I do it:
The structuring is the most important part. Try to get the features as accurate as possible. Resist the urge to go into the details. It looks weird right now because of the lack of shading.
Getting the lighting right is also important. You need to figure out where the direct light is coming from.
The rendering is actually the easiest part. Once you’ve got the position of the features and the lighting, all you need to do is fill it in.
Another thing that I’ve had to learn is the importance of contrast. You need darkness to contrast the light parts so don’t be afraid to darken the necessary parts.
Some of you were involved with previous read-alongs, so you know what’s coming, but for the newbies, here’s the deal: For seven weeks, we’re going to read through Tolkien’s The Hobbit together chapter by chapter. It’s a great opportunity for first-timers and old fans alike to enjoy Tolkien’s works with other Tumblr fans like you while also sharing our own fanworks.
And in case that description wasn’t enough to get you excited, here’s a promo trailer I made for the event. If you have any questions, you can find me at tolkienreadalong.tumblr.com - I hope to see you all there!
(Oh, and please reblog this, or make a promo post of your own - the more people find out about the read-along, the more fun it is for everyone, believe me!)
