Maedhros And Maglor, Enjoying The Music And Being Cute ✨

Prince Turukáno, already dreaming about hidden cities ✨

Like an old little leaf in its hopeless dream Can't forget its bygone beauty, dance on the wind I can wait all my life to be taken away with flow Autumn shrouded by rain turns to cold winter snow When the birds fly away I'm still left here alone I still search for my own land where flowers grow

~ Land Where Flowers Grow, Lind Erebros

The leaf is from Liriodendron tulipifera, a beautiful tree whose flowers strongly resemble tulips. It doesn't usually grow near the sea, but it's my favourite tree, and I liked the parallel between Maglor and the leaf—both alone and far from home.

@endeavoringdaydreamer, here you go! 🦀

Crablor giving autographs for @thescrapwitch, inspired by the concluding scene of her amazing fic Little Crab on the Big Stage. If you haven't already, go read it, it's one of my favourites!

Maglor the Minstrel.

the second son of Fëanor, "was mighty among the singers of old, named only after Daeron of Doriath. " Yet tided to the Oath, from Alqualondë to the War of Wrath, he is the one chosen by fate to witness every loss of his siblings.

IDEA: The Silmarils were, in fact, crystal containers with either:

- fluorescent proteins, or (even more likely)

- luciferases (proteins that catalyze chemical reactions producing light, e.g. in fireflies or jellyfish)

because that's probably how the Trees could shine in the first place.

Generally I’m a terrible reviewer of fic. When I like something very much, I always want to write a review that would make the writer feel at least half as great as their fic has made me feel, and always end up talking about MY feels instead. 

But seriously, emilyenrose’s The Starless Road is one of the best fics I’ve read. It’s a unique case for me, while reading it I had this distinct feeling, sad and bittersweetly hopeful, like I had reading the LOTR itself, closer to its end. It has the same atmosphere, fairy-tale-ish and profound, and something just shines inside it. I loved it and if you haven’t read it yet, go, go.  Just wanted to make a little watercolor or Sam and Fingon doing hobbit things together. And now I’m off to cry over them some more. 

My little gay elves I hope nothing bad ever happens to them.
