Tolkien Elves - Blog Posts

Elves yawn like snakes. Pass it on…

Just finished reading “Tiny Minstrels” on AO3!!! I loved it!!!

Does anyone know other fanfics where elves (or any other race) react to music?

Leave the tittle below if you do- I would love to read them! THANK-YOU IN ADVANCE :)

Writing Prompt

Elronds reaction to the story of Cassandra and Apollo.

Just think of how hard that would hit Elrond.

Bonus points if it’s a child telling him the story. (Don’t know why but I love the whole child telling a profound story to the adult thing).

If anyone uses this please link it in the comments- I would love to read it!!! ❤️

Victorian sensibility

Elrond knew he shouldn’t stare - he shouldn’t be taking advantage of Lindir like this!

Lindir’s new outfit was something else, a perfect blue that hugged his small waist and fell short of covering his ...ankles.

Celegorm: I think I'm forgetting something. Huan: Morals? Celegorm: No, not that. Something that's actually important. Huan:

ooooooh I love this concept

Headcannon:

Tolkien describes many of the elves in LOTR as ‘beautiful and perilous’ or some other combination to the same effect. What if Elves created uncanny valley effects towards the other races of Middle-earth?

The elves keep a little too still.

They blink, but hardly enough to be ‘normal’.

Their skin is a little too perfect.

Elves’ grace feels more predatory.

They can be completely silent.

In conclusion, give me more unsettling Tolkien elves. Please, fanfic writers I beg you.

It seems that my-- apparently controversial-- opinion that incest is bad and gross isn't that widely accepted in the Silmarillion Fandom. The amount of fics I've seen where people are shipping characters that are first cousins is honestly nauseating.

I'm not trying to yuck anybodies yum, but yall nasty.

I understand that there's not that large of a shipping pool, considering many of the characters are related, but goddamn there are like a million elves in Tolkien's works. I don't care if you have to ship characters who have never even interacted in Canon. Please please please, no more incest fics!

Caranthir. Whats he blushing about? Is it a crush? Or maybe his brothers are embarrassing him?

*Gasp* and Feanor thought it was Morgoth who stole his silmarils this whole time- but it was actually his own youngest sons?!?! I present to you the twins, Ambarussa

Elves (Speculative Biology)

If elves were real, what do you think they’d descend from? Personally I find them being a subspecies to be a little bit boring. Please lmk!! I’m considering for my fantasy world
