@lotrladiessource's LotR Ladies Week day 3: motifs

“But wear this now in memory of Elfstone and Evenstar with whom your life has been woven!” And she took a white gem like a star that lay upon her breast hanging upon a silver chain, and she set the chain around Frodo's neck. “When the memory of the fear and the darkness troubles you,” she said, “this will bring you aid.”

"Next came the Noldor, a name of wisdom, the people of Finwë. They are the Deep Elves, the friends of Aulë and they are renowned in song, for they fought and laboured long and grievously in the northern lands of old."

-JRR Tolkien, The Silmarillion, “Of the Coming of the Elves and the Captivity of Melkor”

Clarke Griffin Appreciation Week 2022!

After a wonderful first year of Daily Clarke Griffin, we’d like to invite you all to celebrate Clarke once again as we kick off our second Clarke Griffin Appreciation Week! Last year you all did an amazing job at creating content and spreading positivity and support throughout the community and we wanted to give you the opportunity to do it again!

The dates for this year’s event will be the same as last year’s, October 24th to October 30th. While we know October can be a busy month with lots of events and holidays, we hope you get the chance to participate and give Clarke some love during her birth month. Below will be another list of prompts for those who want to participate, some old and some new! We hope they’ll offer you a little inspiration! And remember, all creators are welcome and encouraged to join, the only requirement is being a Clarke fan! 💖

Prompts:

Day 1: Favorite Storyline — Last year we did Favorite Season, but this year we want to see your favorite storyline. Was it Clarke’s Mount Weather journey in season two? Her experience during Praimfaya in four and five? Her fight to survive the mind drives and the Primes during season six? Whatever you enjoy, we want to know!

Day 2: Happiest Moment — It’s no secret Clarke went through a lot of pain and loss as the show’s lead, but since our goal is to spread positivity, we want to see how you associate happiness with Clarke. You could highlight her reunion with the delinquents in season two, or the simple moments she shared with Madi during Praimfaya, whatever comes to your mind when you hear happiness.

Day 3: Friendship — We did something similar last year where you showed us your favorite dynamic, but this year we want something more specific. What’s your favorite friendship? Who did you love seeing Clarke interact with? What friendship would you have liked to see more of?

Day 4: Association & Symbolism — Okay, this is definitely a new one, but there’s lots of things you can do with this! Color association, colors that make you think of Clarke. Flower symbolism, what blooms symbolize Clarke’s personality best? Elemental association, make something that connects Clarke to one, or all, of the elements: fire, water, earth, air. What about mythology? Which God or Goddess do you connect Clarke with? It’s almost Halloween, what creature makes you think of Clarke: a witch, a siren, a phoenix (resurrection and rebirth, anyone?), even a griffin (for obvious reasons). This day is all about creativity!

Day 5: Music & Lyrics — This one is a staple. Find some inspiration in music! Make a gifset with lyrics, create a video set to a song that makes you think of Clarke, write a fic around lyrics or a concept of a song, whatever gives you inspiration to create something! And if you’re having trouble with music, you can also use the day to draw inspiration from a quote you like, too, if that’s more your style.

Day 6: Bi Pride — You didn’t think we’d change this one, did you? Of course not! We could always use more bi pride! Give us all the pink, purple and blue your heart desires! Colorful gifs, moodboards that scream bi pride, doodles of kisses, fics about her experience, anything! As long as there’s Clarke and bi positivity you can’t go wrong, right?

Day 7: Free Day — And of course, we’re going to end on Free Day, which means you can do whatever the hell you want! Make some memes! Post that AU that’s been in your head for months! Make something Halloween-inspired! Anything goes, really. Let your creativity go wild!

And there you go! Once again, this event is open to anyone who wants to join! When the week starts please tag your creations with #cgaw22 so we can reblog whatever you make and share it with our community! If anyone has any questions we are happy to answer or give you some more ideas to help your creative process! And whether or not you can participate, we’d love if you would spread the word by reblogging this post! See you soon, Clarke Kru! 💗💜💙

peoples of middle-earth ❖ the vanyar

“The smallest host and the first to set forth was led by Ingwë, the most high lord of all the Elvish race. He entered into Valinor and sits at the feet of the Powers, and all Elves revere his name; but he came never back, nor looked again upon Middle-earth. The Vanyar were his people; they are the Fair Elves, the beloved of Manwë and Varda, and few among Men have spoken with them."

-JRR Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of the Coming of the Elves and the Captivity of Melkor"

But most of all Finduilas the daughter of Orodreth found her heart moved whenever he came near, or was in hall. She was golden-haired after the manner of the house of Finarfin, and Túrin began to take pleasure in the sight of her and in her company; for she reminded him of his kindred and the women of Dor-lómin in his father's house.
