In light of the recent announcement about content purging, I’m letting you guys know that I’m not going anywhere! I hardly ever reblog/post nsfw content, and I love the community and friends I have here. I’ve had this blog since january 2014—I’m in college now, but I have a history here that goes back to my early high school days—and I’m going to stick with it. Mutuals, DM me for my instagram or my discord if you want it, though!
He caught the glint of clear grey eyes; and then he shivered, for it came suddenly to him that it was the face of one without hope who goes in search of death.
And behold! there Luthien walked before his eyes in Rivendell, clad in a mantle of silver and blue, fair as the twilight in Elven-home; her dark hair strayed in a sudden wind, and her brows were bound with gems like stars.

prompts
still feeling lost and in need of a map? you can use these prompts to help you feel inspired:
- week one (dec 1-9): the shire
- the small residents of the shire are a merry and cheerful folk, and like to celebrate. how about portraying the hobbits in a modern day christmas au? or something about the surely wild parties during the midsummer celebration, lithe?
- week two (dec 10-16): rivendell and lothlorien
- how do you think immortal elves like to celebrate the changing of the year (mettarë & yestarë)? or imagine elves celebrating valentine’s day? or what about the feast of starlight, mereth nuin giliath, that was mentioned in the hobbit films?
- week three (dec 17-23): moria and erebor
- how do you think baby gimli would celebrate durin’s day? what other holidays could the dwarves have? what do you think dwarven birthday or wedding feasts would look like?
- week four (dec 24-31): gondor and rohan
- cormarë (ringday) is a gondorian celebration started by aragorn in the first age on frodo’s birthday, how do you think the men of gondor honour the ring-bearer on this day? or what kind of traditions do you think the rohirrim have?
