#Silmarillion
Melkor teaching the Noldor in Valinor II

thinking about this passage from ‘the tale of aragorn and arwen’ which haunts me…

𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦, 𝘪 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘳𝘸𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩.

“There is the tragedy and despair of all machinery laid bare. Unlike art which is content to create a new secondary world in the mind, it attempts to actualize desire, and so to create power in this World; and that cannot really be done with any real satisfaction…” Tolkien, Letter 75

Sharing a favorite from the 2015 calendar for George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.

happy 48th birthday to our ethereal elven princess liv tyler; thank you for bringing arwen to life in such a meaningful way, and for inspiring so many girls like me to love and cherish the fantasy genre growing up alongside miranda otto and cate blanchett ♡

thank you dear! it’s wonderful to be back; i’m always so thankful for how lovely everyone is here ♡

i’m back! ♡ after yet another hiatus (i promise to try and be active here even though as previously mentioned i’m awful at being present on multiple platforms)

‘for i am the daughter of elrond. i shall not go with him now when he departs to the havens; for mine is the choice of lúthien, and as she so i have chosen, both the sweet and the bitter.’

i’m so very glad that after another lengthy hiatus, i open the app and am immediately met with such a heavenly rendition of one of my favourite pieces from the soundtrack! 🪽 this is absolutely unreal darling ♡

a masterpiece!! this is unbelievably beautiful oh my gosh ♡✨
