CHRISTOPHER ECCTHELION is this anything
Mirrormere (in khuzdul Kheled-zâram) was a dark lake in Dimrill Dale on the east side of the Misty Mountains. In First Age Durin came upon Kheled-zâram and looking upon mysterious stars set like a crown reflected in its surface...

Of the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.
—— Nolofinwëan week, Day 2
Everyone says that the eagles should have just carried the ring to Mordor but people who really know their lore know that they were actually stuck in some sort of hotel
So the Eagles of Manwë called upon their kindred of Calë Fornyassë who dwelled there; mighty were their wingspans, and spears broke upon their claws. Lonely were they, the last of a race that had looked upon the Trees, and long-lived, beyond the span of Men and birds; but they were dwindling. They were great and proud, but they heeded not the call to Mordor, and said they were critically endangered, and ought not to risk themselves. And the Eagles did drink pink champagne on ice, and consumed the liver of a man who had been placed there and whose narrative is not relevant; and no matter how much they stabbed him with their steely knives, they just couldn’t kill the beast. And in time this grew stale, and the Eagles spoke to their captain and chieftain, and said, “This does not seem a priority.”
So Gwaihir Windlord, chieftain of the Eagles of Manwë, did call upon his kinfolk personally from the fastness of the Hotel; and the Bird-Kindred of Calë Fornyassë were not well pleased, for he called collect.
And he bade them rally in his name, and bring the ring to Mordor; and he bade them do this in his name, for Gwaihir was Lord of Birds.
But the Cale Fornyassë said only, “Condor has no king.”

Flesh?? Sauron is out there giving X-rays, MRIs, and CAT scans. He's more affordable than your primary care referral and more benevolent than your insurance company. Come to the Mordor health clinic today and be Perceived by the Eye.
i feel like vanyarin culture wouldn’t get what’s so great about the use of glass in architecture. or just art in general. Put a water wall there. Just leave a hole in the wall you frivolous cowards. Break the light with intricate pattern shutters. Crystal prism? Maybe, but NOT during lent. STAINED GLASS??! Slippery fucking slope! Next thing you know you’ll be marrying a noldo and die in their next k*nsl*ying,
Finrod.
"Thunder rumbles, the fires burn"
So Finrod and Balan(Bëor). I haven’t seen them as a romantic ship before but now I’m a bit obsessed. Like, this has so many layers and just beautiful
The painter’s honey moon by Frederic Leighton as reference because it’s just them.
I think I should tag @eilinelsghost you writing is so beautiful and inspiring
