Piece inspired by Ralph Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings. The Mike Ploog Nazgûl designs are my fucking favorite

This is what happens when you simp Sauron for too long 😀

(But at least I managed to retrieve the master’s ring from those nasty hobbits!)

(This is my nazgûl costume, not totally finished but oh well.)

The Fellowship When I was a kid, my folks basically told me I was a hobbit. I cherish the memory of them reading all these books to me--and I turned around and read them to my little siblings and eventually to my partner! I've drawn and painted a lot for The Hobbit but never The Lord of the Rings, and this ECCC seemed like the right time to debut one!

Honestly love it when characters are just...really out of it but in a very specific way.

I love scenarios when someone's going through Some Crazy External Shit that's really extreme and traumatizing and draining and they're absolutely exhausted and their brain is just not in the right place & they're kind of seeing things.

Like okay if they're in an intense battle that's been going on for hours and they're bleeding and staggering and are still on their feet with adrenaline alone, but then they're hit badly again and kind of bleeding out and there's gunfire or lasers or magical explosions going on all around them and they're trying to stay conscious while also disassociating completely and when somebody grabs their injured body and starts to drag them from the battlefield they look up and all they can see are the shadowy arms of death before they pass out

Or someone on the run through a forest at night with a storm raging overhead, lightning threading through the sky and thunder booming with alarming volume, they're terrified and cold and certain either the storm will kill them or their pursuers will, and suddenly a lightning bolt strikes a tree near them and lights up the whole world for an instant, now there's fire and water and wind all around them at once and their ears are ringing and they're sure they must have already died somewhere in their chase

Anyway whumpees being in that panicked, adrenaline-ridden, in-bad-shape-in-a-multitude-of-ways state and then something just absolutely bonkers happens and they can't process it (usually followed pretty quickly by them losing consciousness either from exhaustion, cold, their injuries, or sheer panic)...just gets to me

#whump #whump trope #this is. hard to describe. #like the whole 'everything's gone to absolute shit and their poor tired brain just stops working for a minute before they collapse' #like ok example a: frodo in the fellowship of the ring book #when he's at the ford of bruinen and is already Fucked Up by the wraith wound #and then just as his energy is seriously draining and he's Not Really With It anymore there's this insane magical flood #and right before he collapses he *thinks* he sees white horses in the flood (which turn out to actually be real via Gandalf Involvement) #and is like “there's no way that's real” *passes out* #yeah THAT THING

You know what no one talks about enough? The last King of Men to fall to his ring. The last one to become a Ring Wraith. I mean, we know how much Tolkien loved friendship. How much he valued the people he held close. We know how much it broke his heart to watch those people fade, he wrote about it all the time. So why would the men who slowly succumbed to the evil of the nine rings be any different?

The king who stood by and watched helplessly as his 8 friends, allies, kings he had fought with, surely, fell to the darkness. How heartbreaking it must have been to watch men who'd saved his life fall slowly to madness. How crushed must he have been to watch those he'd saved on the battlefield spiral into a darkness so deep that he couldn't reach them.

Do you think he tried? Do you think he ever stopped reaching out to them? A hand in the night, tears staining his voice as he begged "please, please come back, come home, come back to me!"

We know that when the One Ring tempted Sam, it was with promises to turn Mordor into a garden and a place of light and life and peace, the things Sam craved most in the moment. So did the Ring of the Last King Of Men promise to help him save his friends? As the eighth king fell, did it whisper to the ninth that not all was lost.

"Come with me," it promised, "I know where they have gone. Follow me; I can take you there."

The Ninth King would have resisted, of course. He'd watched all eight of the others fall, he'd have to have been a fool not to notice some sort of a pattern to their fate.

"I can help you save them." His ring called with a sing-song voice, "Together we can bring them back!"

The Ninth King tried to ignore the voice, but twirled the ring in his palm.

"Come with me! Come, come, they're waiting for you!"

Memories of feasts of victory, times of peace and joy. And he could hear them calling too. If he strained his ears, he could almost make out each of their voices in the twisted screams that circled his keep at night.

Do you think he cried when he put the ring on? Or as his jaw clenched as he put it on, determined to go into the dark and return not alone, but with his friends?

Fia is a Tarnished called to grace without having first experienced death, which may be something of a rarity. Melina tells us some of Marika's words across 2 different churches, the Third Church and the Church of Pilgrimage:

My Lord, and thy warriors. I divest each of thee of thy grace. With thine eyes dimmed, ye will be driven from the Lands Between. Ye will wage war in a land afar, where ye will live, and die.

Then, after thy death, I will give back what I once claimed. Return to the Lands Between, wage war, and brandish the Elden Ring. Grow strong in the face of death. Warriors of my lord. Lord Godfrey.

That indicates that Tarnished get their Grace back only after dying. The opening cinematic does a little to corroborate this. Hoarah Loux is impaled by arrows, the Dung Eater is being hung, and Gideon Ofnir is in his casket. Goldmask is a little more ambiguous, but given the others are dead, and the way he's sort of splayed out on the ground with his prayer book and other items in disarray around him, it seems like he could have fallen dead abruptly.

Fia is the only one that is unambiguously alive. She is sitting up, actively looking at the sight of Grace, and she tells us she was exiled from home for seeing it. So it's very interesting that she is very devoted to and at peace with death, when she may be one of the few Tarnished to never have died to begin with.

#fia the deathbed companion #elden ring #of course the navy hood item description indicates there are other tarnished who saw grace while alive but perhaps its less common #iirc fia's the only one we know who has done so with any certainty #i feel theres room to argue that the hoslows and lanya were alive bc whatre the chances 3 different related ppl who wouldve likely died at #different times all received grace and came back to tlb independently #but lol stranger things have certainly happened in that world so #maybe d twins too but given they only ever had each other its more reasonable to think they couldve died at the same time #ie to ppl killing them for being cursed or sth #and since they share a soul that might factor into things #wraith meta
