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. ♥

Caranthir -sketch by EKukanova

Caranthir the Dark, fourth son of Fëanor, was known for his temper, but he was called ‘the Dark’ for the color of his hair, not his mood.

He died in 506 F.A. during the Second Kinslaying attacking King Dior of Doriath, the son of Beren and Lúthien, in an attempt to reclaim a silmaril and keep his oath.

You know you’ve read The Silmarillion a little too often when...

you see Melkor (Morgoth) literally Arising in Might from the hills of California...

ヾ( •́д•̀ ;)ﾉ

My state is 🔥 ON FIRE 🔥

It’s very smokey and dangerous outside, but I have to stop and fangirl squee at this image because that looks like how I imagine Morgoth, from his early Vala days...

“Thrice was Fingolfin with great blows to his knees beaten, thrice he rose still leaping up beneath the cloud aloft to hold star-shining, proud, his stricken shield, his sundered helm, that dark nor might could overwhelm.”

J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lays of Beleriand

Gil-galad, the last High King of the Noldor. He fell at the end of the Second Age in the Siege of Barad-dûr. Though Sauron was defeated, he perished in the act along with Elendil.

“‘I was herald of Gil-galad and marched with this host. I was at the Battle of Dagorlad before the Black Gate of Mordor, where we had the mastery: for the Spear of Gil-galad and the Sword of Elendil, Aiglos and Narsil, none could withstand. I beheld the last combat on the slopes of Orodruin, where Gil-galad died, and Elendil fell, and Narsil broke beneath him; but Sauron himself was overthrown...’“

Well, hello there.

Really, a fine depiction of his sad beauty.  I definitely see this as Finrod in the First Age of Middle-earth.
