Eight Things You Should Know About Tolkien's Thranduil

Okay, you’ve seen the Hobbit movies but you just can’t get into the book.  Or, you read the book years ago and you don’t remember every detail.  I’m here to help.

1. Thranduil did not refuse to help the Dwarves when Smaug attacked.  We don’t know what he did - Tolkien never wrote anything about it.  Jackson’s preamble is complete fabrication.

2. Thranduil did not consider the Silvan Elves to be ‘lesser’ Elves:

Oropher [his father] had come among them with only a handful of Sindar, and they were soon merged with the Silvan Elves, adopting their language and taking names of Silvan form and style… . They wished indeed to become Silvan folk and to return, as they said, to the simple life natural to the Elves before the invitation of the Valar had disturbed it. (Unfinished Tales, 'The History of Galadriel and Celeborn’ p 249)

3. Thranduil did not aid the Men of Esgaroth out of self-interest:

But the king, when he received the prayers of Bard, had pity, for he was the lord of a good and kindly people; so turning his march, which had at first been direct towards the Mountain, he hastened now down the river to the Long Lake. (The Hobbit, 'Fire and Water’ p 255)

THANK YOU!!

Little Celegorm was disappointed that some elves thinks he is son of Finarfin (because he is a blonde). Good father Feanor compares Turkafinwe’s hair with his uncle’s hair and hair of Miriel in medallion. Old art ☺

Forget me not.

勿忘我。

于是乎视频制作的进度一拖再拖

Took me two months to draw all the artworks.

Let’s just pretend that it’s freaking cold right now. [I’m melting]

“Tell ya what. I like you, kid. I could easily give you a helping hand. I only ask for a small - FAVOR - in return.”

Dark Lords-Lynch Aesthetics(Greek Mythology Style)

@cloudstreff Now I dare you to write something about this one~

(Melkor ) I saw how many forms he can take … I remember his words ‘you will be warm if you stay ’… But that was in an old unforgotten rainy day .. When the red and blue were mixed with grey … (Mairon ) Now i’m the second dark lord … With the oath of my lover i will hold … For our true story i yelled and told … Can you show me what’s right from wrong ? You know that i yearn for your deadly cold … It’s hard for me to wait this long … (Melkor ) These empty halls are pissing me off … I will destroy it if you give a tinny knife … Maybe i will beg and make myself low … My foolish brother shall trust me and leave me go … (Finally in angband ) From the dark void i came to hold your hand … Oh, my admirable i’m here you can stand … This eye was our oath you say ?… Let us then cherish it the most i daresay … We are together now and in the same way … Shall we rule Arda ,and let the valar pay !! (It took me way too long . But there you go :) ) @cinemairon

Birthday present for my dear friend and excellent poet @cloudstreff

in my drawing style as she asked

(I must remember remember the 5th of November now for next year’s present)

Oh , my mairon what have you done !!.

Your eyes have become my moon and sun…

My sweet, I can give you the whole world

but its no fun…

how I command you but you refuse to come …

when all I want is to own your flame ;

and call you by your beautiful name …

oh fairest of all, do you feel the same ? ..

does your blood run fast through your vein ?

does the sight of me wash away your pain ?

like the bitterness in the wintery rain .

oh mai , we have meant to be together …

as the wings covered in feather …

you have meant to be for me …

so you shall not flee;

but with me I’ll set you free .

Why am I in these lands … Help me and pull my burning hand … Am sinking in the invisible sand .. Through my tears I try but I can't stand … Second after another ,am starting to lose my mind ... Under the shades of night I seek a place to hide … Sky covered in thunder and light … And am too afraid to start a fight … The rope around my hand is getting tight… Please Mellon where are you ? Come now and save me from the coldness bite . @cinemairon
