SFW: New Zealand Weather in Elvish
I'm no linguist or super Tolkien authority but that sounded like a real good read for a short local news bit. I do wonder if those graphics were special for the segment or if that's just what they always use for the weather map.
I do think he should have worn a dark brown or black wig. Seeing as how he's probably a native Maori New Zealander it would have blended bettter.

SFW: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey...? by oirbmeamu

No, Benedict Cumberbatch isn't playing an elf, or Bard the Bowman, or even Gollum;
He's the Dragon. Let's hope he turns out to be a great voice actor.

SFW: up finals - Heart catch dwarf ☆ 5th MMD!
`And what gift would a Dwarf ask of the Elves? ' said Galadriel turning to Gimli.
`None, Lady,' answered Gimli. `It is enough for me to have seen the Lady of the Galadhrim, and to have heard her gentle words.'
`Hear all ye Elves! ' she cried to those about her. `Let none say again that Dwarves are grasping and ungracious! Yet surely, Gimli son of Glóin, you desire something that I could give? Name it, I bid you! You shall not be the only guest without a gift.'
`There is nothing, Lady Galadriel,' said Gimli, bowing low and stammering. `Nothing, unless it might be – unless it is permitted to ask, nay, to name a single strand of your hair, which surpasses the gold of the earth as the stars surpass the gems of the mine. I do not ask for such a gift. But you commanded me to name my desire.'
The Elves stirred and murmured with astonishment, and Celeborn gazed at the Dwarf in wonder, but the Lady smiled. 'It is said that the skill of the Dwarves is in their hands rather than in their tongues ' she said; `yet that is not true of Gimli. For none have ever made to me a request so bold and yet so courteous. And how shall I refuse, since I commanded him to speak? But tell me, what would you do with such a gift? '
`Treasure it, Lady,' he answered, `in memory of your words to me at our first meeting. And if ever I return to the smithies of my home, it shall be set in imperishable crystal to be an heirloom of my house, and a pledge of good will between the Mountain and the Wood until the end of days.'
Then the Lady unbraided one of her long tresses, and cut off three golden hairs, and laid them in Gimli's hand. `These words shall go with the gift,' she said. `I do not foretell, for all foretelling is now vain: on the one hand lies darkness, and on the other only hope. But if hope should not fail, then I say to you, Gimli son of Glóin, that your hands shall flow with gold, and yet over you gold shall have no dominion.
`None, Lady,' answered Gimli. `It is enough for me to have seen the Lady of the Galadhrim, and to have heard her gentle words.'
`Hear all ye Elves! ' she cried to those about her. `Let none say again that Dwarves are grasping and ungracious! Yet surely, Gimli son of Glóin, you desire something that I could give? Name it, I bid you! You shall not be the only guest without a gift.'

SFW: "Comradery" by Bri-Chan
The discord between dwarves and elves in J.R.R. Talkien's work isn't just the usual stock racial grudge that most fantasy writers use for these 2 cultures, or maybe it's the original root of it? Either way it's way more complex and intricate than just simply "we have a difference philosophy and land disputes".
So Gimli's friendship with Legolas and enchantment by Galadriel has a lot more weight to it.
It's kinda amazing how a bunch of the highlights are drawn in crayola markers.

SFW: Tree of Silver - Lady of Light by dark-persian
Aww that's just so sweet.
I wonder if during the 3 wave assault on Lothlorien Galadriel was a back of the line army commander or an on the grounds fight with the infantry leader? She had one of the elven rings so she must have done something.
