Reblog to come play this stupid homemade board game we're all making.
The reason none of us are normal about the Silmarillion after reading it is because it’s about so many things. Even disregarding the Histories and the Unfinished Tales, the Silmarillion is about doom and brutal defeats and generational curses and fatal flaws and the breaking of cycles. It’s about flawed gods and family feuds and love that defies fate and the inevitable loss of all things beautiful. It’s about looking back thousands of years at the men and women of myth and legend. It’s about the wrenching tragedies and the glimmers of hope, it’s Feanor putting the first torch to the swan ships and Turin falling on his own sword, Fingolfin despondent summoning Morgoth to come out and face him and Beren and Luthien stealing a silmaril from his crown, Elwing saved against all odds and hope and Earendil climbing to the peak of the gods to plead for mercy - and winning it. And it’s also about getting naked and death battling a werewolf with your teeth.
HAVE SOME ANBANG BECAUSE WHY NOT
Choose your fighter!
Túrin Pros: Highly effective at destruction of all he comes in contact with. You don't even need to get him to agree to any plans. Destruction will just happen around him. Everyone involved will love him anyway. Cons: Tends to wander, resulting in non-specific area of effect. Also, you've now come in contact with him...
Maeglin Pros: No one will notice he's up to anything. Cons: Requires inprisonment, torture and bribing. Single use.
Sauron Pros: Elaborate schemes. Lot's of fun if you have a somewhat dark idea of fun. Doesn't matter if some notice that he's up to no good, the job will get done regardless. Cons: Requires the destruction to benefit himself. Also, I hope you're not in a rush. How long is your lifspan?

where i come from this is called karmawhoring
Where you come from people piss in the streets
man, the way some of the reddit refugees talk about moving to tumblr is kinda depressing; they're saying stuff like "No one has belittled me on tumblr yet" and "people actually talk to me here."
We've got to rehabilitate these users so that they can see what it's like to have a non-hostile internet experience.
reddit’s pvp experience was unmatched. i didn’t realize how naturally defensive and ready to fight on the internet i was until i didn’t have to any more
how dare you hide this in the tags
I join the Discord server
I mute the Discord server
I'm never seen again in the Discord server
Having your own personal blog is honestly quite a nice change of pace compared to Reddit. I could put a funny GIF of George Bush getting hit by a shoe on here and the worse case scenario is that no one even notices.
You put that on a big subreddit and you get your eyes gouged out and a heap of political discourse underneath your post.
YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE??? I’M A LIL GECKO BOY
Obscure Tolkien Blorbo: Round 3
Thuringwethil vs Rog
Thuringwethil:
The vampire servant of Sauron whose cloak Lúthien uses as a disguise.
- Her name means “Woman of Secret Shadow”, she's Sauron's herald, she takes the form of a vampire, it's implied she can shape-shift. Peak aesthetic!
Rog:
A lord of Gondolin in an early draft of the legendarium. He led the folk of the Hammer of Wrath, who all perished during the Fall of Gondolin.
- The etymology of his name opens up a lot of HC/backstory possibilities + Tolkien's blacksmiths are always interesting characters + the miscellaneous Gondolin lords in general are pretty obscure I think + I just think he's dreamy <3
Guys, guys, we can't let our beloved vampire lady down! She's come so far!
She's so cool guys I promise. She has so much potential that never got explored.
- We're told she takes the form of a vampire, but the wording implies that she can shift shape. Is she another Umaia? Is she a skin changer? If the former, why has she chosen the form of a vampire to be her customary form (apart from the obvious reason of vampires are sexy)? Where else in the legendarium do we get a vampire except for Sauron himself taking that form? Did she just decide to be a giant bat thing that drinks blood? Like for the fun of it?? I for one respect that. More women should make messed up decisions like that.
- Also, if she's an Umaia, who did she serve before turning to Morgoth? Or did she follow him from the beginning?
- She can fly! Who doesn't want that??!
- And her name?? 'Woman of Secret Shadow'. Is she the one sent to pass on extra sensitive messages, because she's so good at travelling undetected? Or maybe you won't see her coming when you're unfortunately on the dinner menu?
*Slaps Thuringwethil over the head* This lady can fit so many head canons!
