“The Lovers” (Major Arcana): Attraction, love, beauty, trials overcome. Reversed: Failure, foolish designs. (Mairon and Artanis, art by @nunchifox on IG)

“Caught between Melkor’s shadow and Sauron’s relentless design, Galadriel must face a terrible choice: surrender her light, or let it burn brighter than ever. Even if it consumes her.” - Here’s a small tribute to Chains of Light and Shadow by @iconicament3.bsky.social 🤍

I couldn’t let Chains go without a parting doodle. I can’t color at all lately but I had to get something down. Thank you @iconicament3.bsky.social for a staple in my life. I’m so sad to see it go and I’m so freaking proud of you for finishing the behemoth 😘🥺💕

“𝑴𝒂𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅.” - Going to post my art here too so here’s a little Martanis treat from @iconicament3.bsky.social’s fic, Chains of Light and Shadow.

My latest poem "My Monster" is ready for @hellghoulweek.bsky.social archiveofourown.org/works/73391671 "Can you be my monster, As I am yours?" Huge thanks to @softzindagi.bsky.social helping to create the narrated version!

kinktober—threesome & double penetration 😌 as always melkor being there is @iconicament3.bsky.social’s fault.

It's my birthday so, to celebrate, here are some vampires and elves, for which age is irrelevant.

I feel so grateful (and a little overwhelmed) to have inspired these beautiful sketches by PolloniumWhy - of Mairon, Artanis, and Melkor. You can also find their wonderful work on Tumblr: polloniumwhy.tumblr.com 🖤

make her ten miles tall make her arms cleave mountains let her tempters fall make her tears weep fountains by {the daughter of swans // artanis in alqualondë}

“It was no mere kiss. It was a collision of essences […]” From Chains of Light and Shadow by @iconicament3.bsky.social. This drawing has been lurking in my brain for like two weeks 🥲

sketch of one of the scenes from the wonderful fanfic of @iconicament3.bsky.social 🥰 I still have to finish it, but this moment of the fic destroyed me. #Morgoth #sauron #mairon #haladriel #artanis #martanis #saurondriel #trop #lotr

Israel murdered five al-Jazeera journalists, including Anas Al-Sharif. They did so because they're now liquidating Gaza City, and want to silence the remaining witnesses. To Western journalists silent about the slaughter of your colleagues: Their blood is on your hands, too.

“Mairon & Artanis” by @caraxesluvr on X I’ve had the pleasure of commissioning Caraxes to draw a scene from my fic “Chains of Light and Shadow”. They chose to portray one of the forge scenes, and I absolutely adore the end result ❤️

@geographygem.bsky.social someone’s gonna get snatched 🥲

@halbrandscurls.bsky.social started using an old portrait I did of Galadriel and i said “no that is old and bad” and so I did this one for her to use. Also for you to look at. With your eyes.

I commissioned my dear @thatsouthernanthem.bsky.social to draw a scene from chapter 38 of “Chains of Light and Shadow” and - as always - she did an incredible job! 🤩⭐️😍 Thank you so much Kyle ❤️

I needed some fluff. 😌

I’m so happy to share that I now have an Etsy shop 💖 You can now get The Rings of Power themed stickers, bookmarks (and soon keychains) and magnets ✨ #trop #theringsofpower #merch

I commissioned this gorgeous Halbrand & Galadriel as knight and princess art from @thatsouthernanthem.bsky.social and I couldn’t be more in love 🥹🥰✨ It’s going to live in my art studio and inspire me every day now

an official post ._. (Why can’t I pin two posts 😫) dm me if interested, ever! ❤️

I commissioned the amazing @thatsouthernanthem.bsky.social to draw me one of Annatar's visions for the future from 'you were my crown' (I'm so sorry for having it be Annatar, Kyle 🥰, but its amazzzzzzzzing)

One again, @eisforeverything.bsky.social hits it OUT OF THE PARK with the update to Across the Sea!!

The most glorious and perfect haladriel artwork commissioned from @thatsouthernanthem.bsky.social 😭 it’s exactly what I’ve always envisioned for my college au and I’m crying right now. Cannot recommend this process and this artist enough. The skill! The craft!

"For nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so." #theringsofpower #sauron

A quickie for Star Wars Day ❤️

For @femininefearless.bsky.social and @halbrandscurls.bsky.social, who have been waiting for this 🤣 Mairon/Artanis/Thuringwethil ignore the uneven brown bc idk what was going on there. SHUT UP!!

🥺

Sauron/Galadriel The Good Samaritan #haladriel #saurondriel #ringsofpower

This began as a moment for coastal haladriel au (hence the hydrangea blue) but tbh it can be any haladriel. The world is your oyster.

A lil’ Artanis/Thuringwethil for your early afternoon.

🥵🥵🥵

SHE LOOKS LIKE A GODDESS HELLO??

This came out way more angsty than fluffy, but I think it will still do for #haladrielfluffweek2025 Day 3 Prompt "You're a hard soul to save with an ocean in my way but I'll get round to it." Galadriel gets bad news, and Halbrand knows instantly that he needs to be there with her.

Not to be an extremist but if you are rude to waitstaff, to cleaning staff, to just generally any other workers in the service industry, you’re evil 🤷🏻 and you’re going to hell 🤷🏻 🤷🏻

She could shoot me and I would thank her 😩

Good morning in Eregion #Haladriel

“I was born in the wrong era” not me I get to read The Lord of the Rings books and watch The Lord of the Rings movies and stream The Rings of Power and play Tales of the Shire this summer

look, maybe this femme fatale killed her uncle—but are you, lindon’s worst cop, going to arrest her? honestly, the man deserved it. #kmjart

A really easy way to check yourself is to ask “is this something Morgoth would do?” and if the answer is yes, don’t do it!

there’s not a cloud in the sky, just a blinding sun and the scream of cicadas drowned out by the crash of waves. #haladriel #kmjart

Nothing says romance like your boyfriend gifting you a T-shirt with your husband on it. 💖 Graphic by the amazing @teawithtolkien.bsky.social 🌟

A lil self promotion for the first fic I wrote for haladriel—also the biggest project I’ve done to date for a silly story. The main point is—go look at my freaking postcards. archiveofourown.org/works/60699298

C’est finis. Why is Galadriel in full gown while Halbrand is down to his shirt?? Don’t bring it up, you’ll ruin her! #kmjart #haladriel

Manwë: “After ages long captivity in Halls of Mandos, you are brought before us once more, Melkor. Do you repent for: Raising discord in Ainulindalë, attempting to seize Flame Imperishable, waging war on your kin, destroying the Great Lamps, enslav - sorry, one moment, yes, Nienna?”

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately but even though there’s been some mini dramas (cos unfortunately there always is) I can’t stress enough that the key to getting included in a fandom is just talk to people as though you walked into a pub and you liked the conversation…
