Trin Would Buy Them For $500 Dollars If You Asked For That Much

Túrin would buy them for $500 dollars if you asked for that much

I was going through my old sketchbook the other day and I found a drawing of this COMPLETELY on crack Silmarillion dream I had a few years ago and I had to share it.

So I was part of a pyramid scheme (bear with me) and I had to sell (discounted) 300$ headphones at the airport for no discernible reason. Obviously, I wasn’t having much luck going up to people and giving my sales pitch to them to buy 300$ headphones at the airport (most likely the price scared them away).

And then from afar I caught the gleam of a helmet going through security. And who should stand there but none other than Túrin Turambar, picking up the dragon-helm on the other side of TSA?

So I started yelling his name across the airport and ran over to him, started giving my sales pitch for my 300$ headphones, going- “well, today is your lucky day! For the low price of-“

And the man just stood there. Gave me the blankest most haunted stare of mistrust I’ve ever seen. And then promptly walked away as fast as he could go.

I just read it rn 😂

"Oh, what are you doing, And where are you going? Your ponies need shoeing, The river is flowing! Oh, tra-la-la-lally Here down in the valley, ha! ha!" – Elves of Rivendell, The Hobbit

“You are more worthy to wear the armour of elf-princes than many that have looked more comely in it.” – Thranduil, The Hobbit

“May your shadow never grow less (or stealing would be too easy)!” – Thranduil, The Hobbit

"A Elbereth Gilthoniel, silivren penna miriel. 0 menel aglar elenath!" – Elves of Rivendell, The Fellowship of the Ring

"Such is of the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." – Elrond Halfelven, The Fellowship of the Ring

"Farewell, and may the blessing of Elves and Men and all Free Folk go with you. May the stars shine upon your faces!" – Elrond Halfelven, The Fellowship of the Ring

"Yes, they are elves, and they say that you breathe so loud they could shoot you in the dark." – Legolas Greenleaf, The Fellowship of the Ring

"And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! 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. All shall love me and despair!" – Galadriel, The Fellowship of the Ring

"In this phial is caught the light of Eärendil’s star, set amid the waters of my fountain. It will shine still brighter when night is about you. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out." – Galadriel, The Fellowship of the Ring

"Get thee gone from my gate, thou jail-crow of Mandos!" – Fëanor, The Silmarillion

"...neither law, nor love, nor league of swords, dread nor danger, not Doom itself, shall defend him from Fëanor, and Fëanor's kin, whoso hideth or hoardeth, or in hand taketh, finding keepeth or afar casteth a Silmaril." – Fëanor and His Sons, Morgoth's Ring

Something I noticed.

There are two characters in The Silmarillion that I'm aware of who are described as having a darkness in them before they actually even did anything.

There's Fëanáro, and Galadriel said it.

And there's Maeglin, and Itarillë said it.

... The thing is, both of them were also motherless - Fëanáro having never really known his, and Maeglin having lost his (and his father) through an incredibly tragic event.

I wonder if that "darkness" that Galadriel and Itarillë saw was simply trauma and not a darkness of character, but they were simply to inexperienced to tell the difference. (Itarillë might've also had the same thing, considering what happened to Elenwë.)

Getting my life together :p

First of all, I need to address the fact that I am a minor. I like to be able to follow people back, and I still plan on doing that, but I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. If you have issues with this, you can always message me, and we'll sort things out.

I'm starting @playdohisscrumdiddlyyumscious (cute name, right?) as a new blog for other fandoms and crap that interest me. I'm not planning on being as active on there, but that way I can reserve this blog for just silm content (with some occasional lotr and hobbit stuff.)

That's pretty much it. For all I know, I'll edit this post way more later 😅. Thank you all for supporting me and this blog :)

My Pfp is 0.5 of baby Finrod that I drew 😝

My header is this drawing of Eluréd and Elurín as the Princes in the Tower that I made 😶

Ahhh! Thank you again!!! 😁

Old-ish drawing of baby Finrod! I drew Nelyo and Finno too but they’re not quite chibi enough…

[ID: A pen drawing of baby Finrod. He’s got short, wavy hair, and he’s smiling. /end ID]

Tulkas is so funny to me. His greatest joy in life is fighting Melkor. In theory he basically fills the role of "God of War" but in practice it's really just "God of Kicking Melkor's Ass".

I imagine Nessa saw this on Tulkas' dating profile:

Likes: Breaking Morgoth's stupid face.

Dislikes: Morgoth's stupid face.

Hobbies: Rearranging the features of Morgoth's stupid face; painting landscapes with Morgoth's blood; learning new knots to tie Morgoth's limbs in.

Favorite Music: Morgoth's bitchy scream; Morgoth's bones snapping; Morgoth begging for mercy.
