Tolkien Meta Week Starts December 8!
Join us December 8-14, here and on Tumblr, as we share our thoughts, musings, rants, and headcanons about all aspects of Tolkien's world.
This is my new poetical attempt to add my own interpretation to Tolkien's Cosmology as to Eru's Creation and the Valar's minds and behind-the-scene providence reasons and mechanisms.. I often review Eä as part of our own world, just in another dimension, this is why I have always seriously thought on the matter who the Ainur are, who Eru is, how he matches our own religious pantheon, and this has been conducted after serious research of many esoteric teachings of our own planet's heritage.
A small drabble collection for the 2024 Matryoshka Meet & Greet Challenge.
Ainur-centric, canonverse, various pairings.
Drabbles Content:
When the Valar descended from the Timeless Halls into Eä, they found all in darkness, with nothing there of the world they had seen and sung.
At the End of the World, reconciliation and renewal.
The music of Middle-earth across the ages.
Varda experiments with undoing just a wee bit of history...
Varda experiments with undoing just a wee bit of history...
Earendil comes home to Elwing's Tower in Aewellond (the Bird-haven) to rest from his labors, and finds her just beginning hers. She's been...nesting in his absence.
He hadn't counted on Elwing's bird-skinchanging affecting her like this...
The story of Ilmarë and Thuringwethil, from the beginning to the beginning, again.
I would like to share my revelations of Tolkien's Universe in the form of narrative and emotional poems.
All of my stories about the Valar and the Maiar. Most of them derived from Chasing Mirages.
Ratings and warning for individual stories vary, please check.
Drabbles inspired by natural history prompts, from the Years of the Trees to the Fourth Age, from Valinor to Far Harad.
Featuring Indis and Miriel, Ilmare and Varda, Earendil and his mariners, Aragorn and the past, and Beruthiel and her white cat.
From the Discord server session on 10 May 2020.
The story of the Quorin, the Silent People, and their home on Tol Úpahtëa.
The Valier go on their annual camp-out, and Manwë's curiosity gets the best of him.
Young and in love, Nerdanel and Fëanor investigate the reality behind the Ainulindalë.
The Valar present an interesting case study of sexism in Tolkien's legendarium because they occupy a prototypical role, representing Iluvatar's intentions on how the universe should operate. My research shows that the female Valar not only appear far less frequently in The Silmarillion than the male Valar but are less involved, less assertive, and speak less.
A collection of ficlets and drabbles all revolving around the Ainur!
Most of these are Ainu POV ;)
Valar play a chess game which has consequences in the real lives of the folk below them.
