Elf-esteem

I'm just another Tolkien fan girl. All about the Elves.
I have a broad view of Tolkien canon beyond The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit. If it is something Tolkien wrote about Elves, I consider it a reference point. Some people do not agree with this scope of canon. *shrugs* Sorry, not sorry.
I admire Tolkien fan art, fanfic, and anything humorous or beautiful about Tolkien's world, especially involving the Elves. I like to write. If I have any purpose at all with this blog, it will be to help people see what Tolkien really wrote (and also to be silly).
I have a canon-hammer forged from the text of Tolkien's own writing; I named it Grond, which means 'very weighty and ponderous' in Sindarin. I smash things. ♥

The Children of Húrin  - The sadness continues! 

Now we have grown-up Túrin making bad choices in Nargothrond, and poor Gwindor, ugh... Gwindor... a bright Elf-lord savaged in the captivity of Angband’s slave pits.  He returns as a dispirited old man after 14 years of imprisonment.  It really pisses me off that Morgoth did this to Elves who had to live with it forever.  Gwindor would have kicked his ass (if he had not been hiding in his throne room.  He trembled when Gwindor beat upon his gate.)

I love the interior map of Nargothrond though I imagined it more spacious and grand and less, Valley of the King’s like.  Still, neat to look at.

Baby Glaurung though!  Okay, that’s a freaking cute baby dragon (even though he turned out super mean and ultra-evil). 

This is how I imagined Glaurung’s origin in one of my fanfics about him:

He was just a little, innocent lizard that Morgoth stole and made bad.
