Tyelkormo and Maitimo Week 2025

• Please be kind to each participant. Bullying ain't cool kiddos and will not be tolerated.
• Writings, drawings, headcanons, moodboards and any other way you amazingly creative people can find to show your brilliant minds are part of this challenge. Go nuts!
• Due to both @sadtimo and my own values, we will not be reblogging works containing sibling incest. Anyone is welcome to participate, and we both are thankful of you for respecting us as well.
• Please be mindful of the tagging, tw needed, and don't forget to mention us in your posts.(The blog username, but we try to keep up with personal mentions too). And just to make sure it will show up, you can use the tag #tm week. We'll be checking whatever comes up on the feed.
• The week is just a formality, so don't worry about submitting works after the deadline. We will be keeping up with them after the event is finished, and we will be giving shout-outs!
• Prompts and themes are just there to give you ideas. You don't need to follow them if you don't want to. I personally never do because forcing myself to write/draw a certain topic can never come out like my own moments of inspirations.
• Most importantly, just have fun!

Tolkien Native Language Appreciation Fest 2025

This is an event aimed to celebrate the diversity in the Tolkien fandom, which takes inspiration both by Tolkien's profession as a linguist and inventor of all the languages in his opus, and his own characters' prowess in several languages. The event will run on Tumblr from 16-22 June 2025.

The event aims at giving all creators a chance to use their creativity to explore and experiment with all languages. All types of fanworks and all languages (including English and Tolkien's invented languages) are welcome.

Rules

• NO AI GENERATED CONTENT.
• No stealing/plagiarizing of anyone's work.
• Please tag properly your work and use warnings for mature/sensitive content, so people are able to filter it, should they wish to.
• NSFW: please use the "read more" function, or link it through a different website such as AO3 and use tags and warnings accordingly, so people are able to filter the content, should they wish to.
• GOLDEN RULE: COMMON SENSE

• Reblog this post and follow this blog.
• Use #jrrtlanguagefest preferably in the first five tags, so I am able to reblog your creations
• Mention the languages used in the caption of your post - a translation is encouraged so everyone can enjoy your creations
• There is no limit per day, you can post as many creations as you wish.

Prompts

• 16th June: Yellow - Shine - Opposites - Song
• 17th June: Orange - Sunset - Flowers - Dance

Boromir Week 2025

Bring your Boromir fics, art, gifs, moodboards, and headcanons for a week of being absolutely normal about our beloved Captain of Gondor! Boromir Week will run from June 14-20, 2025 on Tumblr.

Rules

• Please tag any ships and/or triggers, and place NSFW/graphic submissions under a "Read More" and tag as such.
• No AI.
• This event is intended to show Boromir in a positive light and show our appreciation for the character, so anything that is blatantly anti-Boromir is strongly discouraged. Submitting an AU where Boromir succeeded in obtaining the One Ring or writing a Dark!Boromir AU is different (and hot, let's be real).
• This also applies to commenting on submissions. Don't like, don't read. Don't yuck on someone else's yum. Ship and let ship. Please keep your comments respectful.
• The main tags I will be using are #Boromir Week and #Boromir Week 2025. However, Tumblr's tag search is pretty much useless, not only showing results that have nothing to do with what you searched for, but also omitting a lot of results. So, the best way for me to know that you've posted is to tag @boromir-week
