www.tumblr.com/alnilamen/76... this amazing artist just shared art based off one of my Maedhros & Maglor fics. kind of dumbstruck honestly, by how haunting & oneiric & soft & terrifying it manages to be. feel so lucky, thanking this artist for ever, i must say

It all began in a hole in the ground… Use code BSKY10 for 10% off 💚 The Hobbit earrings now available at: lilyenarda.etsy.com

in the wind by lord huron is absolutely an immortal/mortal ship song but i’m bleach brained at the moment and it is very shunuki as well

there is a video essay to be made about the rings of power, nihilism, late stage capitalism, and the end of representation politics media which of fucking course circles back to disney, the star wars sequel trilogy, and the MCU-ification of nostalgia

i will 100% say in my surgical residency interview that my manual dexterity skills with pliers in my jewellery making hobby are transferrable skills i can and will apply to the OR

Just to clarify my opinions: -Tolkien’s letters are not the final arbiter of meaning for his texts -Different people can like different things (or the same things for different reasons) -If your fanship of a book/tv/movie makes you act like a jerk to other people, you are doing it wrong

booo we need a poll function on this website - anyways i’m gonna do a non-tolkien drop next week probs do u guys wanna see bracelets or earrings?

grrrr should have snatched up the username elwing when i had the chance

After the comments I got on this, I want to publicly say that you are all correct, when I painted this I was all about sad Maedhros BUT WHAT IF (swipe please <; ) (I considered writing "did you say Silmaril?" but it seemed too mean 😝) #Maedhros #Nelyo #Silmarillion #Tolkien

While I was in Aotearoa/NZ and observing the scenery, it was not lost on me how the crowd that co-ops Tolkien for white supremacy and praises the movies for adhering to that narrative, are obsessed with visuals that aren’t even in Europe. Not even the same hemisphere. And on colonized land at that.

For no particular reason reposting this excellent older piece by my friend @understatesmen.bsky.social Aotearoa/NZ is not middle earth, and it's not a Maaori-themed holiday park either.

whenever i see the term xtter i pronounce the x the mandarin way so it ends up sounding a bit like shitter which is pretty apt

Gondolin earrings incoming - here’s a sneak peak 🏰💝✨

only posted this on my priv but i’ve been cooking up the first namarië at cuiviénen featuring miriel staring straight at the camera

when i first started this account during the first twitter migration i was still in uni and i log in now after having the most fantastic nap after my penultimate night shift of this week

Bluesky's open, quote one art to promote yourself

I'm just another elf enjoyer who's here to share the occasional piece of Tolkien art, writing, or headcanons/opinions! Mostly Silmarillion. Be kind and I look forward to interacting with friendly exiles old and new ✌️

I wish glaze worked better on my laptop and CSP wasn’t so weird when my laptop is undocked because I don’t have my docking station with me at uni

incorporating 5 mins of “just in case i come across a neighbourhood cat and i feel the urge to pet” into my daily routine has done more for my mental wellbeing than any compulsory mental health lecture

had a skin through already and it’s looking incredibly promising particularly the points about “reparative reading” 👀

hiiiiiiiiii guys, here’s turukáno and anairë 💙

Hi! I'm natt, a freelance artist who loves to draw elves and other suspicious looking entities☀ 🌱 anattmar.carrd.co 💌 [email protected]

i must say my upstairs neighbour playing once upon a december on piano for the past few days while i slog through the most dull mandatory e-learning has been a help

must remember to call gulls 'seamews' every chance i'm able

u know those prescription drugs or elf name quizzes got me thinking if a star can be named eärendil a brand name drug can be named after an obscure elf

I’m about 75% unpacked in my new apartment and I feel very much like the medieval wisewoman in her cottage at the edge of town

hehe look what came in the mail today

i’m the most spider tolerant person i know and a spider still bit me 😔 jirt was right to hate them

the greatest pain at a conference is when there refreshment station with coffee hasn’t been set up yet (admittedly i did arrive about 15 mins early)

I’ve been the family’s designated GP since I was 12 and now I actually do med and am close to qualifying and people are Aware I get medical questions left right and centre even from my driving instructor lmao. It’s just funny and I actually don’t mind it.

I have a new blog post up! I finally transferred my tweet thread from 2021 about the Meletheldi/Melotorni footnote onto my blog (with more details, fluffed up now that there's no character limit). Enjoy!

invite codes to this app are so funny to me because it feels like a slowly growing vampire community. like yes this is my sire and this is my fledgling and i love them thank you very much

grrrrr i hate packing for yet another house move it’s exhausting when you’re a student and have to move every academic year

Ooooh new media tab on profiles this’ll make posting art easier I might just post here first and crop +/- edit if Twitter doesn’t completely implode over the next few months

If twitter’s removing the block feature then they should make public the government IDs of the fascists, racists and transphobes that infest the site.

"All the traditions of the world lay near to hand for JRR Tolkien, and he used them to tell his stories, weaving together their magic. And he found the traditions of Pawneeland useful, just as he found the traditions of Europe useful." Tolkien in Pawneeland, Roger Echo-Hawk

I shake my fist at the fact that post threads do not work the same way, and that the invite system makes sense but is very painstakingly long to implement into practice!

having both bluesky and twitter simultaneously feels odd because i would like to use bluesky more but reposting tweets feels odd because unfortunately my brain is hardwired into using twitter

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently. I'm writing these tips below from my non-techy perspective, techies please weigh in if I get things wrong:
