Куруфин и его жена, мир Толкина

Thorin, Fili and Kili ⚔

you ever spend hours thinking about maglor's wanderings and then eventual death on the shores of Middle-Earth? Farther from home than he's ever been before; what is home anymore?

yeah me too

Melkor and Yavanna. Fic by @eternal-fear

Don’t you leave him, Samwise Gamgee. And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.

—Sam to Frodo, The Lord of the Rings, “The Fellowship of the Ring”

Quick sketch of our Ecthelion just chilling at home because I wanted to try out granulating watercolours and what's a better subject than the primary character you've been drawing for the past 3 years

I feel like my blog is full of his older brothers and their offspring, but I actually love gentle, soft-spoken Finarfin as well 💛

So here he is, having a beach day in Alqualondë with Finrod, long before disaster struck :') For @arafinwean-week day 1 + day 2 (Finarfin, Finrod, pre-Darkening, family)

(And yes, I'm an idiot and forgot that the sky shouldn't be bright blue at this point in time (more like night sky lit with some Laurelin gold or Telperion silver I suppose), but I was already tired of messing with this, so quick questionable golden background swap it is... eeeh maybe I'll redo that at some point)

In the sea the fish have learned to fly

On a moonlit night on wings of silver

As the enchanted stars sail serenely by

downloading a fic when ao3 dies (when you have the link)

looks like ao3 is down again and i was in the middle of a multi chapter fic when it died on me.

and if that happens to you, this is what you can do to download the fic:

copy paste https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/00000000/fic.html in your browser url

replace the pink bit with the number right after /works (that's the work id)

for instance, in https://archiveofourown.org/works/44970790/chapters/113154673 the highlighted bit (44970790) would be the number you swap for the 0s

the download link will look like https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/44970790/fic.html

if you want the fic to be downloaded as an epub instead, use .epub at the end of that link

it should start downloading on your device

i'm sure a bunch of people know this and use it but in case you don't, hope this helps
