Se hace raro dar buenas noticias pero el sindicato acaba de anunciar que consiguieron pagar las fianzas de los trabajadores con las ayudas económicas🤩

✨

I'm not used to good news these days but the union just announced they could reach the amount of money to prevent the workers from entering jail🤩

Metal workers from Cadiz, Spain, have been protesting and striking against really poor working conditions, as it's their right. Having to work 170 hours/month for 1000 euros is MISERY.

Now they need to pay 45.000€ tomorrow before 14:00 to avoid some of them going to jail for just protesting.

He aportado unos eurillos a la Caja de Resistencia de la Huelga del Metal. Si puedes permitirte aportar un granito de arena, hazlo!🖤 La represión de la Ley Mordaza contra trabajadores que se manifiestan con sindicatos no mayoritarios es brutal. Nos afecta a todes.

To me, Adar is a queer icon (in many senses)🌈 And after he wore Nenya, I think he finally embraced all what he is (and what he wants to be)🖤

So here he is enjoying himself 😊 Happy Pride all, now and always, everywhere 🖤❤️💙💛💚💜🤎🤍

(Naughtier versions below 👇💕)

#Adar #TheRingsOfPower #PrideMonth
Colour illustration of Adar in a three-quarter headshot, seen from his side profile. He is extending his gauntleted hand and caressing his arm with the other hand, his head slightly backwards with a smile in his face. He is wearing a blue-pink shadow eyeliner, two stars under his eye and tiny white flowers adorning his hair. Adar's dark silhouette is contrasting with the bright coloful background, resembling multicolour flames as if Adar was dancing before a bonfire. There are three big white stars adorning the picture around Adar.

Celebrimbor chilling out🍵

I'm a little late for #CelebrimborWeek but there is always a good excuse to draw him, anyway⚒️

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs (hard mode, no SW, ST, or LOTR)

Here's one I've watched more than 6 times *this year* xD

(it's one of my current 'Cat has insomnia and needs a sleepytime movie' rotation.)

t’s always a good time for Sauron & Adar’s cursed love and Pride month is not exception🌈😎

A combination of the prompts “Coronation” + “Red” + “Morgoth” + “Children” for the #TROPbloodmoon week we celebrated in March (it took a little longer than expected, ahem)🌚🩸
Colour illustration of Adar and Sauron in a dancing position; Sauron is holding Adar by his waist and leaning towards him. Adar pose is limp except for the Morgoth crown he is holding up, over Sauron's head, upside down so that the longer spikes threateningly point down at Sauron's head, who seems to be unaware of the menace. The crown is surrounded by a halo of light with four rays spreading into different directions. They are both gazing into each other's eyes lovingly. Behind and surrounding them can be spotted a crowd of Uruks with bright red eyes, some of them with surprised faces and some others with wide menacing smiles. The colours used are bright reds, pinks and oranges against the coldness of blues and purples.

Adar as a merman for delayed #MerMay🧜🌊
Black and white illustration of Adar as a merman, wearing his gauntlet, his tail adorned with the decorations we usually see on his armour. He is leaning both hands on an underwater rock, gazing gloomily at Morgoth crown, which is placed on top of the rock. The background os an underwater scene with underwater rocks, sand, bubbles and sun beams coming from above.

I went for a walk the other day and took pics of many flowers. Sharing some in case the diversity of shapes & colors brings inspiration 💐

(Sadly I don't know the names of many of them, but I'll share those I know in the Alt text 😊)
Yellow flowers on grass. In Spanish is know as "botón de oro" (ranunculus acris) Pic of grass with many daisies, "margaritas" in Spanish (bellis perennis) and dandelions, "dientes de león" in Spanish (taraxacum platycarpum) Purple bundles of flowers on grass Pic of a blue flower with a star shapes, known in Spanish as "azulejo" (centaurea cyanus)

My piece for today's #tolkienartchallenge: "Day 28: Adar"🖤
I'm sorry I didn't take part in more prompts🥺 But at least this one I had to do it 🦾

P.S: I would have liked to post earlier but we were having the last historical dystopian episode of the season AKA nacional blackout in Spain & Portugal🙃)

Comic strips for some of #TROPbloodmoon🩸🌑 prompts: "Morgoth", "Names", "Children".

Giving glimpses of Sauron's name at the time they met and the origin of Adar's name; of the origin and "purpose" of the Uruk children, and also the way Sauron and Adar related to Morgoth.

#TheRingsOfPower
Comic strip in dark blue and bright red colours: -FIRST PANEL: Sauron is kneeling under the shadow of Morgoth, which seems to come from the next panel. -SECOND PANEL: Morgoth appears sitting on his throne in menacing majesty. He is talking through two speech bubbles: The first one, which is overlapping with the previous panel, says: "I HEARD YOU SAVED THE LIFE OF THAT MORIONDO, AGAIN, AFTER A RIOT IN WHICH HE GOT IN THE WAY OF THE WHIP DESTINED TO ONE OF THE URUK SLAVES?" The second speech bubble, beneath the previous one and overlapping with the next panel, says: "WHY DO YOU KEEP SAVING HIM?" - THIRD PANEL: Sauron appears again kneeling, now his head raised and bright eyes open, talking through two speech bubbles interconnected. He says: "MY LORD, ADAR STILL PRODUCES THE STRONGEST URUKS IN YOUR LEGIONS. HE IS ALSO VERY RESPECTED AMONG THE URUKS, HE HAS MITIGATED MANY CONFLICTS IN YOUR MINES AND FORGES" Comic strip in dark blue colours (except for the warm halo around the Silmarills on Morgoth's crown), both depicting Morgoth's side profile talking: FIRST PANEL(SMALLER): Morgoth says: "HAHA, YES. YOU STILL CALL HIM "ADAR", DON'T YOU, MAIRON? SECOND PANEL (UNDERNEATH AND BIGGER): Morgoth says, through two speech bubbles interconnected: "WE ARE NOT IN NEED OF MORIONDOR TO PRODUCE URUKS ANYMORE... BUT I WILL LET YOU KEEP YOUR BROKEN TOY. IF HE IS SO RESPECTED AS YOU SAY, THEN SEND HIM TO BATTLE AS A COMMANDER" Single comic panel making a close-up to Sauron's bright gaze as Morgoth adds some more words through a bubble speech that floats in the air. He says: "... WE WILL SEE HOW USEFUL HE IS" A darker blue panel framing both the panel of Sauron's gaze and Morgoth's speech bubble. Single panel of Adar, almost unrecognizable with his long hair down to the ground and the rags and bandages covering his body. He is sitting down in a curled up position, in a dark background with faint beams of light surrounding him, his legs bent, his hair covering most of his face and holding an Uruk baby to his chest. One of his ankles is covered in chains. The baby is grabbing some of Adar's very long hair in their little fist. The previous speech bubble repeats here Morgoth's words: "... WE WILL SEE HOW USEFUL HE IS"

Black and white illustration of five female Uruks sitting on the grass under the moon and a shooting star. One of them, wearing helmet and armour, is standing holding an urukish weapon (@WetaWorkshop's design). Next to her another one wearing armour, a quiver of arrows and adorned with branches, is sitting down with her hands linked, smiling at the spectator. Under her two others are lying down lazily, both also looking at the spectator; one of them is wearing a long sun-cloak that covers all her body and a skull on her head; the other wears armour and furs. A little apart, another one is kneeling on the grass, covered in furs and adorned with a horned animal skull. This is the only one whose eyes are closed with a serene smile.

Close-ups✨
Close up to Uruk standing, wearing a stolen helm, hand-made arnour and carrying a glaive. Close up to sitting Uruk with long hair, slightly braided, wearing a light armour and a quiver with arrows at her back. In front of her there is another Uruk laying down, her hair very long and wearing a skull as a helm on her head. Close up to Uruk with large sharp teeth and wearing handmade armour laying down in a relaxing way, resting her head on the one behind her. Close up to Uruk kneeling on the floor in a meditative way with her hands on her lap, long hair down, covered in furs and wearing a couple of skulls, an animal one on top of her head and another one covering her right shoulder.

A little apart, another one is kneeling on the grass, covered in furs and adorned with a horned animal skull. This is the only one whose eyes are closed with a serene smile. Black and white illustration of Adar relaxingly sitting on his "throne" in Mordor, holding on his gauntleted hand an open book where you can read "Ainulindalë" and below the word "Rúmil". He is looking away from the book to look at someone else with a smile. His sword is resting on the seat frame a little behind him. Black and white illustration of Adar crouching down by a wooden table where two Uruk kids are sitting down and playfully enjoying a pot of honey. All of them are wearing fur cloaks and their eyes gleam in the faint gloom of the environment. In the lower right corner there is a boiling kettle placed on a pile of burning firewood. The steam that it emanates rises in spirals to the top of the illustration. Dark black and white illustration. It depicts a young dark haired Elf cladded in rich black clothes (Maeglin) standing in front of a sitting prisoner wearing rags and his dark hair very long, who still has Elven features despite the many scars covering his body (Adar). They look at each other silently, probably seeing a little of themselves in the other. The scene is set in a dark dungeon cell where the brighter light comes from the bars (probably a torch), located just behind Maeglin at the left and gleaming on his back. Another door with bars can be seen at the bottom of the cell, as well as some bones and skulls scattered on the ground.

They aimed Hubble at the darkest area of the sky, and looked back to nearly the beginning of time.
An image you might think are stars but they're not, each speck of light is a galaxy, some, the deepest red ones, are the oldest objects ever observed.
