Inside Mount Doom

Inside Mount Doom

If you want a source of creepy inspiration for your art I suggest listening to The Magnus Archives. It’s a horror podcast set in London. Also your art is AMAZING especially your gothic au.

I am listening to TMA! I’m only on like, the second season, but tumblr is very much Not Spoiler Free so I’m about 90% sure about what happens. Michael is my favourite character because he gives off slight Mairon vibes I think?? for some reason??? But yes, I like it Very Much!

And thank you so much! I actually think I might redesign my Gothic au though- the lack of set historical period just...bugs me. So there might be a character redesign in future!

Recollections of Turgon regarding the Helcarxe

Companion to this

He doesn’t like to remember the ice. The freezing claustrophobia, the cold that sank deep into his bones until it felt it would never leave him. It had already frozen his brother’s heart. He would talk, he would scream, but it never mattered because Fingon might be crying but only truly expressed nothing but absolute apathy.

They starved there, in the dark and the cold. Food became a matter of life and death, and suddenly any reservations had to be cast aside as seals and polar bears were suddenly large warm food sources, no matter what part you got. 

They couldn’t bury the dead on the Helcaraxe. Nothing went to waste.

The eternal darkness was perhaps the worst of it though. Shadows danced around them and even when they set up camp they howled and cackled as they tapped on their tents.

His wife was known for her caution, and his daughter for her light footing. They did not fall. His wife was one of the most competent swimmers of the eldar, she did not drown.

He carried his daughter for most of the journey. Her feet were lost, but not to frostbite, and he couldn’t leave her behind.

And still Fingon tried to hide his apathy behind false expressions.

He gathers his own support. Glorfindel, who lost most fingers on his left hand to a blizzard, Ecthelion, who sung fish out of the water so they could be eaten raw, and others who, like him, just want to knock Feanor’s teeth out.

When they reach Beleriand, it’s like a fog had lifted from their minds. It’s too late to fix anything though. Fingon ran after their dammed cousin like he always had and doesn’t talk to them with anything other than clipped sentences. Curufin crafts his daughter feet of mithril as reparations, and others slowly adapt to their new life.

There is no section of Gondolin’s library regarding the Helcaraxe. If they act like it never happened, then maybe nothing they did was real anyway.

The fall of Numenor

I like the idea that Elrond felt what happened as Numenor was sunk because even though Numenor had gone off the rails, they were still his brother’s people and descendants and so they shared his blood

Also the stress of it gives him a grey streak 

14 and 17 for the art asks-ooa

for 14, Mairon! (then Elrond and Maglor)

for 17, eye gore. I just...no. It’s just too much.
