Selected excerpts from botanical notes kept by Finrod Felagund on his journeys throughout Beleriand:

"The leaves of the [Woodland Star] are dark in color, and folded into ridges very much as a ballroom fan. For such a shape it is much favored by ants and other insects, which nestle close to the stems and drink of its sap. With such an impulse I myself can sympathize; were I the size of an ant certainly I would like the comfort and shade within that dark emerald green, and feel quite secure below the heavy leaf. The sap, however, is entirely not to elven tastes (or at least not to mine!) for it is horribly bitter, and stays long upon the tongue."
"This berry is quite sweet, and may be consumed, if one does not mind spending some hours afterwards miserably ill."
"In Doriath, venomous snakes have come to nest in the tree's shaded crown, and though local settlements warned me to avoid them I found that (after only one bite!) I was able to make fast friends with these creatures. Their deep jewel colors and little spear-like heads pleased me, though the nerve pain in my left hand was notable."
"After eating the petals of the flower for the dozenth time, I discovered the unpleasant waxiness might be removed with the application of heat."
"It has been hard to find a plant which might flourish in the darkness of the caves I so favor... but the newts, dear reader, the newts!"

"According to an Edain saying, a bird in the hand is worth two in the hand. What is the worth, then, of the sweet sensation of a fledgeling nestled against one's breast, perfectly calm, feathers soft against skin? Certainly it cannot be put into words."
"The leaves are delicious, and apparently harmless. Consumption of the roots, however, causes a most severe upset in the equilibrium of the elven composition. During my first and only encounter with the phenomenon (I did not wish to repeat it!) my travel companions quickly wearied of my sickness and left me with only Edrahil for company. He busied himself with fretting and holding back my hair as the plant found its way back out of my body; as such, the notes I instructed him to keep were less than meticulous, though in the interest of thoroughness and completeness I do include them here."

different ways foresight/prescience can manifest for characters (I thought of elves, but works for anyone):

detailed visions (helpful)
detailed visions (you see your twin brother doing something really, really embarrassing so you use it to tease him when he hasn't even done it yet)
dreams (either of the above)
strange voice telling you things. possibly in riddles and/or poems
nagging feeling that you really should turn left
confusing visions with memories. you spend six days fuming at someone for spilling wine on your favourite shirt even though they haven't done it yet
sudden, intense vibe checks when meeting any stranger

#the bearer gets his sudden intense vibe checks #murdoc and dé both get dreams (annoyingly decipherable mostly in hindsight)#dé also gets voices (ghosts) and murdoc gets dreams (forcibly poking at the visions until they Become detailed)#sorry this is a mirkwood campaign post now #mirkwood campaign #silm

The Oath of Feanor/the silmarils as metaphors for grief/loss and the inability to process and move forward is this anything because I'm having thoughts.....obviously they are very much their own things in the narrative but as I was thinking just now I was struck by this thought.

Anonymous asked:

doom of the noldor automatic failure powers??? i’m fascinated please elaborate 👀

— anon who is way too invested in your mirkwood & gondolin campaigns

jaz-the-bard answered:

Asdfghjkl so. when i first ran a silmarillion campaign back in college, i decided that anybody playing a noldo could get ridiculous stat bonuses and abilities, but at a price. The Doom of the Noldor is represented in-game by the gm, me, being allowed and encouraged to arbitrarily impose disadvantage, automatic failures, and automatic nat 1s, particularly when the consequences of failing are really really bad. Since I'm using the same silm campaign homebrew rules for gondolin campaign, it makes another appearance!

Also it's really fun to tell people to roll a save and then inform them they actually rolled a 1

#and then the WHOLE gondolin campaign party decided to play noldor SO #i’m so excited for jaz to make me fuck things up in whatever way they think will #will be most entertaining <33 uwu #gondolin campaign #friends!! <3

I LOVE MY TERRIBLE BOY he's such a brat. today in mëohen making everyone else's life miserable:

1. when another pc tried to hide in the bushes from her parents he loudly, despite a different pc trying to stop him, said "hey niquessë, why are you hiding in the bushes?" very much on purpose

2. forced his npc rival to shop with him for hours for a a fiddle and then after wasting his time trying every single fiddle, didn't even buy one

2 (b). when finally letting the npc shop for a bow like he wanted he proceeded to sabotage the shopping so it would take even longer. (another pc tried to intervene but mëohen won that battle)(when it comes to rolls against other pc's trying to stop him from doing something annoying he's currently 2 for 2 in winning that battle)

3. noticed a sore spot that a pc was lying about and despite his needling not being particularly successful yet, he IS keeping that in his back pocket

in conclusion:

nelyoslegalteam

also i would like to add that we, collectively, spent possibly upwards of an hour out of our two hour session failing EVERY Single Roll ex-fucking-cept for mëohen causing problems on purpose

jaz-the-bard

Also to be very clear i didn't even use my "doom of the noldor" automatic failure powers on ANYBODY. They did this to themselves

nelyoslegalteam

i would LIKE to clarify for posterity that

1.) tumblr user @potatoobsessed999 was given a CHOICE between rolling dex to not take damage from the thornbush OR rolling performance to Look Dignified while getting out of the thornbush

2.) CHOSE Looking Dignified OVER Not losing 1/10th of her entire health

3.) didn’t even manage to Look Dignified anyway <3

So those dice have the Doom of the Noldor on them.

Once again thinking about the “Tolkien elves are physically superior to humans in every way” thing as a disability parallel

disabled-tolkien

Tolkien really said: a group of people are born with bodies that are weaker, slower, less dexterous, more breakable. They can't do many things that others take for granted. Their bodies are vulnerable and fall to wounds and illnesses that the other group is baffled by. They are physically less able and there are barriers that they will never be able to overcome. They have no magic powers to make up for this difference; they just live with it. Their lives are shorter and they will die earlier.

Still they are heroes, lovers, craftsmen, villains, musicians, warriors, poets, adventurers. Still their existences matter. They are essential parts of the universe. Their lives are meaningful and worthy of honour, however brief they may be.

The Lord of Himring felt a strange sense of kinship with this creature. Maybe it was the missing part of its right arm, or maybe the scar-like mark over it's eyes

Yes, I know deinocheirus is big. But so is Maedhros. Finally, a creature he can pet without having to crouch!

Silmarillion and Sleep and Dream Thoughts Part One (revised and updated edition)

So I have my post on complex trauma and sleep in general but I wanted to share more thoughts with example ideas as well as cultural concepts of nightmares

I also have a follow up here which I’m in the process of rewriting

This could not encompass every culture obviously and I want to make another one with more specific character headcanons so please feel free to request!

#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#VERY good thoughts as always #obviously i certainly am interested :3 #silm #friends!! <3

dragonridersofficer-fiammag asked:

Ok, since you are one of the people that play LOTR RPG's, would you be amendable to please ask your DM for the character sheet/stats for Maedhros? I think you mentioned him possesing Rios, and I need something to base Mae off on, because tomorrow I have an emergency session with my friends.

Kindly, a desperate DM.

absolutely!!!

@potatoobsessed999 my beloved gm and @jaz-the-bard beloved player of maedhros/ríros, i believe this one's for you <33
