“This is not a hunt. Let your hearts be solemn. We do not go to hunt, but to claim our casualties. We go to lay to rest those the Red Ships have stolen from us. Those we put down today are of the Six Duchies – our own”.
With this spellbinding project, insanely talented artist @littlechmura wanted to create a self-contained moment for each of these beloved Harry Potter characters—a single scene that gives a glimpse into their own magical worlds. She’s calling the series “One Breath Each”, and we’re calling it GORGEOUS AF.
Do you ever have a song that doesn’t actually fit your OTP, but you know that one member of your OTP would insist is “our song”?
Fingon is like that with ‘Long Live’ by Taylor Swift
Some of the best quotes:
It was the end of a decade / But the start of an age
“When your father’s exile is over, we’ll have the wedding, and then we can establish our own kingdom in Endore!”
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
“Himring is indeed beautiful in the summer, but you should come to Hithlum this fall.”
the cynics were outraged / Screaming, “this is absurd” / ‘Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world
High King Fingon and his ‘trusted advisor’ Lord Maedhros both fought at Aqualonde, and functionally rule all Beleriand outside of Doriath
Long live all the mountains we moved / I had the time of my life / Fighting dragons with you
Fingon sent Maedhros a letter saying “Babe, I fought a dragon, you should have been here, I looked super hot and together we could have killed it.”
But if God forbid fate should step in / And force us into a goodbye / If you have children someday / When they point to the pictures / Please tell them my name
Insert your own sad Maedhros teaching Elros and Elrond headcanon here
Long live the look on your face / And bring on all the pretenders / One day, we will be remembered
“King Fingon and his consort Prince Maedhros, the brave elves who defeated Morgoth and saved Beleriand. That’s what they’ll say. Not ‘the Kinslayer’, not ‘that half-mad near-orc’, Prince Maedhros the tactical genius who defeated a Vala.”
In 1974, four years after publishing his first children’s book about the close friendship between Frog and Toad, the author and illustratorArnold Lobeltold his family he was gay. “I think ‘Frog and Toad’ really was the beginning of him coming out,” says his daughter, Adrianne.
OMG! My son and my daughter (ten years apart) both adored those books! My son wandered over when I was reading it to his little sister (he was about 12 or 13) and said. “Oh, I loved that book. It was awesome. Only kid’s book I ever read about two gay guys.” And I said, “Oh, I can see that! But I thought it was about friendship.” My son says, “Well, one does not exclude the other. Right?” Getting all sentimental. My kids were awesome when they were young.
