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. ♥

Twelve Houses of the Gondolindrim - Gondolin by Aglargon

Ah Gondolin, there was so much right there, and there was so much wrong there. And obvious house is obvious -- Maeglin led the House of the Mole. Pfft, yeah he did!

Let’s explore Maeglin’s BIG PLAN for winning his cousin Idril.
