"This is the work of Sauron."

"Galadriel" ... is an invention of my own. It is in Sindarin form ... and means ‘Maiden crowned with gleaming hair’ ... She was then of Amazon disposition and bound up her hair as a crown when taking part in athletic feats. [Letter 348]

Pushing the Galadriel crown braid agenda as much as possible this month, gotta start 2026 off strong

My Galadriel crown braid wig is finished!! Yeee! Like with her hair down look, I started with a base platinum wig and did a ton of alcohol marker work to add lowlights and roots and toning. I’m gonna be doing a video on that process so keep an eye out! #cosplay #ringsofpower #galadriel

Sauron passed over the sea and looked upon the land of Númenor, and on the city of Armenelos in the days of its glory, and he was astounded... [The Silmarillion]

Now is a good time to share this iconic piece by @taliesart.bsky.social Letter 348, the cultural impact that you have...

In this house we ❤️ Letter 348

Against Elrond Half-elven's advice, Círdan, Gil-galad and Galadriel decide to use the Rings of Power. The question of Sauron's influence looms large over Celebrimbor's rings. [The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power S02 E01: Elven Kings Under the Sky]

Out of these 4 scenes from season 1, which is your favourite? • Celebrimbor forges the Three, Elrond suspects deception (Alloyed) • Halbrand and Galadriel in the forge (Partings) • The White Tree summons the Faithful (The Great Wave) • Galadriel rejects the summons (A Shadow of the Past)

Will be posting more "scene breakdown" threads like these in future, let me know if there's anything you'd like to see.

Finish the Nine, and I will spare your city.

Decided to put the ring emoji in my name cause holy moly it looks so cool there

Happy birthday JRR Tolkien! On this day, January 3 of 1892, the author of The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit was born! I am so thankful for his lifelong devotion to storytelling and world-building, and I am inspired everyday to pursue beauty, goodness, and truth because of him.

In the last years of his life, Tolkien repeatedly revised aspects of Galadriel's history. Throughout Letter 353 he repeatedly defends Galadriel's choices, arguing she was "legitimate" in her hasty journey to Middle-earth, though the exact nature of her quest remains somewhat unclear... (Continued)

"I am [a] person of small importance even in my profession, except for the fact that my two books about the imaginary history of the Third Age ... have had, and still increasingly have, an enormous success, to my delight, but still more to my great amazement." Happy birthday, Professor. 🎂

"Seek victory, light conquers darkness, banish evil into darkness." "The call to battle. Seek bravery, seek glory, Seek victory eternal. Light shines endless. The call to battle, sacrifice."

"In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth."

Gurth 'ni chudath vín!

My account these last few months:

“I remember well the splendour of their banners ... It recalled to me the glory of the Elder Days ... so many great princes and captains were assembled. And yet not so many, nor so fair, as when Thangorodrim was broken, and the Elves deemed that evil was ended for ever, and it was not so."

Gil-galad son of Fingon was their king, and with him was Elrond Half-elven, son of Eärendil the Mariner and brother of Elros first king of Númenor. [The Silmarillion]

When Sauron learned of the repentance and revolt of Celebrimbor his disguise fell and his wrath was revealed; and gathering a great force he moved over Calenardhon to the invasion of Eriador ... When news of this reached Gil-galad he sent out a force under Elrond Half-elven... [Unfinished Tales]

"What will you do with them?" "Create a perfect, and lasting... peace."

Finish the Nine, and I will spare your city.
