Some portraits of some fancy elves from Gondolin
Ecthelion and Glorfindel deserved some more elaborate designs than my usual, and how can I draw one without the other?
#Ecthelion of the Fountain#Ecthelion#Glorfindel of the Golden Flower#Glorfindel#Silmarillion#Silm#Silm art#the silmarillion#Lord of the Rings#lotr#Tolkien#I just wanted to draw elaborate outfits#Well actually this all started because I own the big flower patterned earrings that Glorfindel is wearing and stared at them for too long#and THEN I wanted to draw elaborate outfits for Glorfindel and Ecthelion ended up there too#And of course I made it fancier with the backgrounds so now my main and art blogs have matching icons#Please excuse the tengwar though if it's inaccurate#It's written in English with tengwar from a particular set of instructions I found in a book a while back!#It should say Lord of the Fountain and Lord of the Golden Flower respectively#What does it say about me that I got bored and learned to write English with tengwar though?#Radj Draws

I think Thorin should be glad he died, because if he survived you know Bilbo is gonna drag is ass all around middle earth to make him apologize to basically everyone they met on that journey for a variety of different things, and I don’t think his pride could have handled that

Ecthelion concept art that I did for CGMA's Character Design for Films and Games with Julio Bencid. I made up a brief that calls for Ecthelion to be a playable character in a game. I slipped some call backs to Weta's elven designs from Lord of the Rings especially in terms of his helmet, which is an iconic part of his character. I tried to emulate a gilded fountain with Ecthelion's armour decoration and using blue fabric to break up the details. Hope you all like it!

Sometimes your mind wanders while drawing characters hugging and you wonder: "What if Glorfindel ended up back in Valinor again, talked his way into going back to Middle Earth a second time, and then he decided to smuggle Ecthelion back with him?"
This was followed up with: "It would be funny if they were really bad at it."
Close-ups of the doodles and what I like to call them:
"The Hug that Started it All"
2. "A Brainstorming Session"
3. "Cloak Attempt #1 - In Which Glorfindel Realizes He Needs More Cloak"
4. "Cloak Attempt #2 - Sure, Ecthelion Can Crouch-Walk Out of Valinor"

Thranduil Can’t Get Drunk
No seriously, neither Thranduil, nor those of his line (oropher, legolas, etc) can get drunk. At least not off of the liquor commonly served.
The only way they can get more than slightly tipsy is with a highly specialized alcohol that they invented that takes 10 years to make.
It’s a result of how much they drink.
The thing is, they’re happy and functional drunks, so unlike others, who start behaving badly or incoherently after to many drinks, they don’t feel the need to stop drinking just because of a personality shift, so they drink almost all the time.
At this point legolas can drink non-stop while on guard duty and still be able to perform just as well as when he was sober.
So yeah, Thranduil might act drunk after too many drinks, but he isn’t at all and only does it to get away from people he doesn’t like.
Legolas has a habit of challenging anyone outside of his realm to a drinking competition bc they either don’t know (Elladan and elrohir) or don’t believe that he physically cannot get drunk unless it’s his own special brew (glorfindel).
They always regret it.
The fellowship: *at the wedding reception to Arwen and Aragorn*
The fellowship, minus Aragorn bc he knows better, plus faramir, eomir and eowyn: *enters drinking competition*
Arwen: *taking bets bc she absolutely will take advantage of the situation to make extra money*
The twins: *egging on the competition bc they remember their own bet that they lost and now want everyone else to suffer*
Aragorn: *tired dad sigh*
Gandalf: *inside cackles*
The results:
The hobbits: *merry is out for the count, with pippin giggling up a storm unable to stand straight, sam is giving a lecture on gardening, and Frodo is cackling insanely*
Gimli: *slurring words* -and that’s how my father helped win the battle-
Faramir: *hyperactive squirrel for 30 minutes before immediately crashing where he stands*
Eowyn: *challenging everyone to a fight*
Eomir: *thinks he can beat legolas now since he’s witnessed this competition before after helms deep* *is wrong*
Legolas: *on his third barrel with no difference between now and when he was sober, being cheered on by a crowd*
Arwen: *cackling like a money grubbing gremlin on crack*
Aragorn: *tired dad sign 2.0*
Elrond: *so happy that at least his children were smart enough not to challeng legolas in a drinking competition this time*
#thranduil#legolas#lotr#lord of the rings#thranduil physically cannot get drunk and he hates it#don’t get him wrong#it’s useful at times#but gods does he wish to drunk at times when his kid is being a reckless heathen#legolas similarly cannot get drunk ever and takes amusement out of swindling people#Arwen is his partner in crime and they split the profits#Aragorn challenged legolas to a drinking competition one time#and once was enough#unlike the twins#who continue to challenge legolas#only to loose and end up in the fountain in their underwear#the Silvana in general have a higher alcohol tolerance than any other elves#silvans*#glorfindel didn’t believe it and challenged thranduil himself#and Elrond had to hide his face in shame while celebrian egged him on

hii! I saw your post about your husband forging a nail and making it into an iron ring for you and i wondered if there's lore behind it? I know terry pratchett references something similar in one of his Tiffany Aching books and i was kinda obsessed with it, but I didn't know if it was a reference to some folkloric tale.
(also, if you want to share, I'd love to see a photo of it!)
Of course! There is not one particular tale, but it has very firm roots in folklore.
(Cold) iron shows up in various European folklore as a protection against fae, spirits and malevolent forces of all sorts. Unless it’s used to protect a home, it often needs to be carried with you to lend its protection, naturally making simple, common iron objects the most popular amulets. For instance horseshoes, knives, keys, coins, and also nails! Particularly horseshoe nails, for obvious reasons, or coffin nails. These iron nails also show up in magic rituals quite a bit (for instance in witch bottles, or in binding rituals that involve hammering the nail into a footprint).
The tradition of making rings out of these nails as a good luck or protection charm is also very old. I’m no historian, but I’ve seen mentions of it referring to late Medieval England and France. It seems like in some cases the nails were just (occasionally) the most convenient thing to hand (like for the ‘cramp rings’ to ward off illness), and when the actual protection of iron was desired, it was a relatively easy way to make a charm. Horseshoe nails were typically forged by a blacksmith, who could just as easily make them into a ring. They were not always worn around the finger, but also as an amulet on a cord round the neck. (I’ve seen a few mentions online of iron nail rings being traditional love tokens, but I haven’t been able to find anything more about that.)
But my ring was one hundred percent inspired by Tiffany Aching’s “iron enough to make a nail” ring in Wintersmith. My partner forged it for me as a replacement for the silver engagement ring I tragically broke. This one has proven more dependable <3
