idk but tbh i do REALLY like the RMS Britannia as Ar-Pharazon’s Aman-going ship Alcarondas/Aglarrâma. I really like industrial end-stage Numenor but only within fudgeable appearance parameters

oh, I know, it’s like she’s crowned with mallorn leaves and napping in a puddle of them. I myself would also flop onto the golden leafstrewn ground :0 (daily reminder that your blog is still the best)
YES EXACTLY. Also <33333

do you think they make him pose for new elros memorials like a thousand years down the line
yes
also i bet the poses they preferred slowly changed over time according to them projecting numenor’s changing values…
thearrogantemu replied to your photoset: WAIT THIS ONE IS ALSO AWESOME and also just…
OMG
Also, this is …sort of the plot of Return. Celebrimbor’s familial
unwillingness to let things go (even when ‘things’ turn out to be
Sauron) does eventually end up with his beloved in his arms…
ggggggg I love terrible tumblr cross-responding.…but only if i guess well….

….those arent actual beleg heirlooms brought
out of doriath to sirion to be, I don’t know, picked up by cirdan when
they came to survey the ruins, and returned again to elrond, right
YEAH. SURE. FINE. given tolkien’s heirloom-hot-potato boner that doesn’t sound as bats as it ought to. like…elrond IS turin’s first cousin twice-removed hmmm!!! Pengolodh thinks that boots were too uncool to mention as heirlooms. …..sorry. pls know that whenever i make comments assuming pengolodh is a bore, i actually mean the tolkiens and ggk

DUUUDE THEIR DESIGNS ARE SO COOL???
omg thank u i’m glad you think so!!! i haven’t decided what their ears look like yet

Elrond, turning up occasionally with more evidence of his
adventuring: “this could be us but you had to go and do BORING THINGS”
like live in “paradise” under a “blessing” or whatever
vinyatari replied to your photo: YO WHAT UP I haven’t drawn a person in like 6…
elrond looks v smug. also i want a cape with a large pocket
large pocket capes to store your nerd junk in are very useful
thelioninmybed replied to your photo: YO WHAT UP I haven’t drawn a person in like 6…
i want all their clothes every last pocketcape
even the terrible crown….

thanks i love the requisition forms
the 2 MOST important purposes of this doodle tbh
skeletontemple replied to your photo: YO WHAT UP I haven’t drawn a person in like 6…
My heart of hearts would like to believe that Elrond was barefoot
whenever at all possible and ignored all advice to for the love of g-d
get some foot protection on those wild archeology escapades, but also,
gosh, Those Boots
no i lied the most important is
BOOTS™
skeletontemple replied to your photo: YO WHAT UP I haven’t drawn a person in like 6…
Maybe he stepped on an ancient sword and learned his lesson. Or
maybe he stepped on a sword and didn’t learn anything or ever mention it
and then later for unrelated reasons Elros made a law about his
brother, in Numenor, barefoot, and how it had to stop,
dfjkghkdjgkdjfkd
omfg wait now i’m wondering if….elrond is too much human to walk on
top of snow like legolas…or if he didn’t learn how for decades/centuries after choosing….
skeletontemple replied to your photo: YO WHAT UP I haven’t drawn a person in like 6…
Why have I chosen the replies on this post of yours, of all places,
to ramble about barefoot wild child Elrond speculation
bc we love him <33333 🙂
bamboocounting replied to your photo: YO WHAT UP I haven’t drawn a person in like 6…
books vs scrolls omg… (and YES that was a blindingly clear expression) 😛
i’m glad! it was v small and smudgy so i wasn’t sure if other people could decipher 😛

the stylized beam of light is SO important, thanks for being excited about lighthouses with me
everything you say here is so right, correct, and good. except the
tattoo part. I drew it myself, with a knife, because tattoos are very
expensive.
A bad idea! But hopefully with a good outcome!? also i once saw a lighthouse drawing where the beam of light was full of words
bamboocounting replied to your post: garden-ghoul replied to your post:

how do u feel abt the cool giant sparklers in the top, in a silmly context – the fresnel lenses?
more specifically, i enjoy the idea of all the various seafaring populations having slightly different lighthouse approaches and exchanging ideas over time via cultural drift. the showy sparkler ones are for falmari. fresnel lenses were obv gifts from noldor to numenor. the falathrim go “elves don’t ‘need’ ‘lighthouses’“
bamboocounting replied to your post: I was just talking about lighthouses to…
2) which nightmare fuel and 3)wiki talks about lighthouses so tall
that they get covered by cloudbanks, and it would be cute for those to
be nicknamed earendil guides (although this overlaps the
flight-enabled/ballooning elves that I think gogol mentioned?)
this bit of mindfuckery because tolkien is apparently like a horrible person????? but i assume it’s non-canon because…you know…frodo/bilbo/sam’s….. ‘reward’… ‘granted healing’ ‘found peace’….etc
I wonder how much sense my blog makes to people who don’t realize i steal half my ideas from my mutuals for use as scaffolding and stepping stones. YES IT DEFINITELY OUGHT TO OVERLAP……..what IS the ocean, really, truly.
bamboocounting replied to your post: For lines in the legendarium that confuse or stump…
this is really good….but my (wrong) impression was that they…might
have…just gotten lost? despite the mushroom clouds marking where the
action was, presumably… or that the vanyar and noldor continued to not
get on to such a degree that they never spoke communicated.
lmao no no tbh i could totally see that being the case at the beginning! it’s only how the war was so LONG that makes me think that when it comes to the whole stretch of time, it was a case of ongoing choices and not just happenstance
actualmermaid replied to your post “Is it a headcanon that Numenoreans invented smoking, by any chance? I…”
Lol my fic is always like “have I mentioned that cannabis is a medicine”
TBH the fun flipside of ‘historical’ availability of practices and things. like, oh hey if ur talking ‘accuracy’….

actualmermaid replied to your post: my sister wanted to watch spirited away again…
You guys need to watch Castle in the Sky!! It’s so underappreciated tbh
I looked it up and it sounds EXCELLENT so also on my list!
thelioninmybed replied to your post: bamboocounting replied to your post:
definitely woodmeat, maybe maggots
garden-ghoul replied to your post: bamboocounting replied to your post:
DEFINITELY maggots. some like, raw meat covered in gunpowder. and
weird black sludge. and the protagonists arm is like Bursting With Juice
at all times
tbh animated maggots do not gross me out much but Bursting Anime Juices are the worst :$
starspray replied to your post: Fic meme: 16 + Elrond & Elros
ahhhh this is WONDERFUL <33
Yayyyyy i’m very glad you liked it! ❤
thelioninmybed replied to your post: Fic meme: 16 + Elrond & Elros
it’s great how much pleasure Elros takes in being old and crotchety, he’s such an inspiration
my favorite thing! i figure he would be committed to appreciating all the aspects of mortality, including the part about complaining that getting old sucks and getting his brother/friends/grandkids/great-grandkids to coddle him about it
bamboocounting replied to your post: Fic meme: 16 + Elrond & Elros
that means elwing saw numenor from vingilot or that she only ever
flew out at night, when elros was sleeping, to see his new shell city
right. right
DOES it….could it…we only have vague carve-outs of which things definitely didn’t happen to guide us! plz give me sequel ideas that i prob won’t write about all the varied peredhil family machination possibilities >_> …..i love the shell city.
bamboocounting replied to your post: my sister wanted to watch spirited away again…
:0 it look rly good. do you drizzle the lemon on it?
i usually put the lemon on the cucumbers before i mix it in so it stays crispy! it is really good.
crocordile replied to your post: my sister wanted to watch spirited away again…
Floaty is a gr8 adjective to describe it!
it’s a floating movie!
garden-ghoul replied to your post: my sister wanted to watch spirited away again…
for appetite-killing nothing beats princess mononoke. but I’m glad you had a good time!!
omg what a totally useful recommendation. but is it the gross fried greasiness of spirited away or as i have been led to understood, like, raw meat in the woods
bamboocounting replied to your photoset: bamboocounting: I promised nice mushrooms I saw…
I wanted to use the word tussocks for those pillowy moss clumps but
it turns out that it’s only for grass 😦 but certainly good places for
hobbit picnics!
bamboo i googled around to try to find a moss word-equivalent, and i thought for a minute “sward” might work, but i think that’s also not the right usage
ANYWAY YESSSS IT IS THE MOST HOBBIT THING
