Reading the Valaquenta again for the tolkienreadalong, this line jumped out at me which I’d never really noticed before:

“He has little heed for either the past or the future, and is of no avail as a counsellor, but is a hardy friend.”

Immediately scenarios of Tulkas’ advice column leapt into my head. Thanks for trying, Tulkas.

I’m sure Melkor is feeling very grateful to Tulkas…

I love your Fingolfin household in winter wonderland ficlet! May I request Idril and Turgon designing an igloo and Aredhel and Fingon trying to be helpful?

thelioninmybed:

For a given value of ‘trying’, certainly!

“What happened to our tent?” Turgon said, holding it up to display the great rents clawed into the canvas.

“Someone,” said Aredhel, “and I name no names, might have tried to net an ice bear with it.”

“You little sneak!” said Fingon, snatching up a ball of slush and grit and preparing to hurl it. “I gave you half a dried herring not to tell.”

Aredhel shrieked and ducked behind Turgon for protection. “Father said no more snowball fights!”

“This is more ice than snow. Come face your fate.”

“This,” said Turgon, ignoring them both, “is the perfect opportunity to test a design I’ve been working on.

“That I’ve been working on,” said Idril.

This a Moonmelon, scientifically knows as asidus. This fruit grows in some parts of Japan, and is known for its vibrant blue color. What you probably don’t know about this fruit is that it can switch flavors after you eat it. Everything sour will taste sweet, everything salty will taste bitter, and it gives water a strong orange-like taste. It’s also very expensive…costing about ¥16000 JPY (which is about 200 dollars).

or you know this could be photoshopped

This is the Peppermeloni. (seriously gosh just look at that sexy mother fucker) Its scientific name is Tumblrous Pepperonus.

The only known specimen is in a pot in David Karps treasure dungeon. It is a tradition that a single slice is given to every tumblr blog that reaches 500,000 followers.

It has the remarkable property of being as healthy as watermelon but tasting like cheesy pepperoni pizza.

This planet is really just so amazing guys wow.

The taste of this melon will always surprise you.

This is the evermelon.

If you cut this watermelon a certain way you will find that it has seemingly regenerated. You can do this an infinite number of times and will have a neverending supply of melon.

OH GOD I haven’t seen this post in YEARS and THAT is the fucking additon to it!?

ALRIGHT THATS IT ITS TIME TO STOP

Hi my name is Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Ravenmelon and I’m ebony black  (that’s how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips, and a lot of people tell me I look like watermelons (AN: if u don’t know what dat is get da hell out of here!).

At that moment Elrond came out with Gandalf, and he called the Company to him. ‘This is my last word,’ he said in a low voice. ‘The Ring-bearer is setting out on the Quest of Mount Doom. On him alone is any charge laid; neither to cast away the Ring, nor to deliver it to any servant of the Enemy nor indeed to let any handle it, save members of the Company and the Council, and only then in gravest need. The others go with him as free companions, to help him on his way. You may tarry, or come back, or turn aside into other paths, as chance allows. The further you go, the less easy it will be to withdraw; yet no oath or bond is laid on you to go further than you will. For you do not yet know the strength of your hearts, and you cannot foresee what each may meet upon the road.’

‘Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens,’ said Gimli.

‘Maybe,’ said Elrond, ‘but let him not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall.’

‘Yet sworn words may strengthen the quaking heart,’ said Gimli.

‘Or break it,’ said Elrond.
