prompts

  • 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?
 ARWEN UNDOMIEL

Queenly she looked, and thought and knowledge were in her glance, as of one who has known many things that the years bring. Above her brow her head was covered with a cap of silver lace netted with small gems, glittering white; but her soft grey raiment had no ornament save a girdle of leaves wrought in silver.

1.2k celebration – nienor niniel for karina @00317 ❤ ❤ ❤

But Nienor ran on into the woods until she was spent, and then fell, and slept, and awoke; and it was a sunlit morning, and she rejoiced in light as it were a new thing, and all things else that she saw seemed new and strange, for she had no names for them. Nothing did she remember save a darkness that lay behind her, and a shadow of fear; therefore she went warily as a hunted beast, and became famished, for she had no food and knew not how to seek it.

LOTR GIFS 2/? - THE GREY HAVENS

Then Frodo kissed Merry and Pippin, and last of all Sam, and went aboard; and the sails were drawn up, and the wind blew, and slowly the ship slipped away down the long grey firth; and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost. And the ship went out into the High Sea and passed on into the West, until at last on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise.
