Fanart of Weep and Be Burned, ch8

Made this a little while ago, I'll be doing more when I have the spoons for it lol.

The Silmarillion as Vines

I just started the Simmerilion and Melkor is such a cringefail guy.

Dude is like 'haha I ruined your song! I am evil! mwa haha' and Erü is like. 'no you're not I wanted you to do that.' And Melkor is just so disappointed by that news.

Then when all the valar are down on earth and taking physical forms he's like 'damn that's cool' but is still kinda seething cause music mayhem didn't work out. So he gets himself a physical form but cause he's still a bit grumpy it doesn't quite work out and he accidentally makes it kinda big and scary (and I could be wrong but the way it reads is that) the valar take it as a threat and start fighting him.

Dude can't catch a break he's so silly. it seems more like a comedy at this point.

I would pay serious money to watch an epic rap battle between Voldemort and Morgoth.

I made an acrylic standee and put it in 3d-lamp so now they're glowing 😔

Headcanon that because elves aren’t great about time, and tend to have their heads in the literal stars, it is not unheard of for food to rot without them being aware that enough time could possibly have passed since it was harvested for it to no longer be good; it’s only been what like five minutes, maybe five years…? can’t possibly have gone bad yet. And since it’s not like eating food that’s gone bad actually hurts them, they just kind of…do. Not all the time, or anything. But sometimes. Without noticing. And worse (especially in the opinion of Hobbits, but also in the opinion of really anything non-elven that has ever sat at an elvish feast-table, although they’re generally better about food that they serve to guests because they specifically cook stuff to impress then, which makes it a lot more likely that whomever is doing the apple-tart will go “oh hey these apples are all squishy, let’s get some new ones” than they do when they’re just cooking for themselves) without caring.

Headcanon that this is also because ever since the Two Trees fell, everything in the world has tasted a little bit of death and ashes anyway so how can they be expected to notice if that apple has a bit of brown on it, when everything already tastes like the bitterness of fading to their tongue? Everything except the absolute freshest, newest, ripest fruits of a new spring, anyway. So the first harvest-fest of the year is a big deal to elves, and it’s not entirely because they just really like it when the flowers come back. It’s also the only time they can eat anything without tasting the ashes of Morgoth’s treachery against their lips and it’s not something they really talk about or even consciously notice….

But they do.

Doesn’t stop the Hobbits complaining, of course.
