“I have always walked in the dark,” Elrond says at last.
“Of course,” Fingon says, his Quenya very old, his eyes very deep. “Where else do people have need of the stars?”

writing problems vs drawing problems
#not silm#my stuff#writing#drawing#creative struggles#brought to you by my union of elrond project#which is currently at the 'what was i thinking' stage of writing#and the 'how do hands work' stage of drawing#seventeen horses later i should be starting to get the hang of it at least but somehow theyve started looking even worse#also most of my writing is midnight scribbles in a notebook and i have absolutely no idea what the middle part of the plot even is#i barely understand the outline for the fun parts#but how the entire thing works? no clue#aaaaah

The end-of-year school trip is an event eagerly anticipated by the children of St. Tilion's School. Of course, nothing ever goes smoothly...
#or: the chapter in which I shamelessly project my memories of school trips onto my favourite characters#sorry this chapter is so late#i have been very busy and also it just kept getting longer#i thought editing was supposed to reduce your word count? not here!#we will make this place our home#elrond#elros#silm fic#silmarillion fic#silmarillion au

First Meetings~
At last, Lord Elrond let go and stepped away. He repeated his original question: “Are you lost?”
Miserably, Beetle shook her head, tucking her hands behind her back. She wasn’t. She still remembered the way back to their rooms. “I was looking for water, my lord. I’m sure I can find it. I thought maybe-- the fountain--”
“To drink?”
She nodded, still staring at her feet. “For my friend.”
He put a hand on her shoulder and turned back toward the main path. “Come, then. We’ll find Lindir. It’s still a little while before they’ll serve the next meal. We expected your company to sleep a long time.”
-- And the Stars Shine the Same, Chapter 1 - Beetle
I am once again drawing this scene. I did it again because first of all I love them and second of all I wanted to do a proper illustration for it, rather than just a doodle here and there. So here it is, with flower symbolism because I can't help myself.
Beetle's Side
Baby's Breath - innocence, purity of heart
Starflower - courage
Cinquefoil - beloved daughter
Elrond's Side
Queen Anne's Lace - safe haven
Anthurium - hospitality
Middle
Daffodil - rebirth, new beginnings
I'll probably do more of these but for now, here's chapter one :)
#this was a PROJECT#i hate doing sets/backgrounds#but i wanted to do a full page so badly#anyway them :)#elrond#beetle | elrian#and the stars shine the same#beneath a boundless sky#trying to jog my own writing block loose by doing fanart of my own fanfic lol#ughhghgh#I Miss Them#she looks tiny and she IS tiny but also i feel the need to remind everyone that Elrond is seven feet tall#tall ass neck ass motherfucker#my art

I've been working on another story for The Wives Don't Die au, and thanks to @nighttimepatrons it's spawned it's own au where
Arwen and Maeglin decide that the best way to do research for their high school middle earth history class presentation is to tour the country, so they run away together and hitchhike around and get all kinds of first hand account from the little people that nobody cares to talk to when making history books.
Elrond and Eöl team up for a bit to find their kids until Elrond realizes Eöl is a piece of hot garbage, then he's racing to find the kids before Eöl does.
#celebrian could be the one chasing down the kids but there's also something about it being the dads against each other#but realistically celebrian's the one who could just leave work and do that#or else while eol's gone she can be helping aredhel escape too#twdd au#the history project au#arwen#maeglin#elrond#eol#celebrian#aredhel#the silmarillion

"So what are you writing about currently?"
Well I'm trying my hand at high(ish) fantasy - yes, elves and shit! Epic quest, swords and sorcery but a little more modern magi-techy. But, well, really I'm writing about characters I originally created for d&d games that either ended prematurely or I felt have more potential than I can really explore in that medium. Self-indulgent passion project. But, well, I guess I'm trying to do the Star Wars prequel trilogy better, what if the temptation of Christ had worked, what is it to be a chosen one and have your personhood stolen, but really the character I'm exploring that through originally came from a place of using gods and powers beyond comprehension to explore the loss of personhood in a toxic relationship and how a person can reclaim that. But, well, it's me, so really it's all about complex interlinking yet contradictory Irish identities (even though there is no Ireland in this setting, I'm working that kink out), both the political elements of that and the personal, generational trauma aspects. But really it's about my own family's generational trauma, it's about squaring a loving marriage with an abusive one, it's about forgiving, it's about grief, grief, grief, it's about watching my grandmother die as I fall down this new rabbit hole, it's about the last conversation with my nan being about why I'm not my cousin, it's about knowing someone loves you but also that you're just the walking embodiment of their failings, it's about loving someone I barely knew and working to love people I knew too well, it's about family, family, family. But really it's about necromancy.
"Elves and shit."
"Nice!"
#writing#rowan rants#project greenroom#it is eating holes in my brain#I woke up yesterday morning specifically to make a voice note then fell back to sleep#'elves and shit' was provided by my very excited father#“I love elves and shit”- man who has read the Silmarillion but still refers to Galadriel as “that elf woman” and Elrond as “Elf Ron”

okay i finished watching nocturnal animals (2016) like an hour ago and. jesus-
it was one of rob's first roles (with an otherwise pretty great cast, too) so i don't think he was even in a position to choose which roles he did and didn't want to do yet.
after i finished the the film, i texted a friend "phew, i think i need a break from his emotionally heavy charactes" because he played this horrible person so so well. and he plays all the bad/dark/heavy guys so well. i've watched the empty man and galveston and antebellum and the exit plan and behind her eyes and each time he was incredibly convincing.
and then i saw a saved tiktok of rob - being his usual sweet nd shy self - and it struck me (once again) how talented he truly is and how most of you are sleeping on him.
#i should rewatch rop since elrond seems to be his only (kind of) happy role#seriously#you can tell an actor is great when you hate the character he plays#i just really hope he'll have more cheerful projects in the future too#robert aramayo

thinking about swapping the fates of elrond and elros… lord elrond of the house of hador, diplomat and de facto ruler of the edain in eriador & elros eluchil, king of the sindar
#obviously based on my hcs bc i don’t think elrond would be interested in leading the numenor project#i think he’d want to stay in middle earth#and i see elros as a good bit more personally ambitious than elrond—he’d want the title#this does also mean bc they’re both in eriador#elros has to watch elrond grow old and die#(i don’t think elros relocates to the greenwood#so we get two kingdoms of elves in eriador during the second age)#also i’d still give elrond long hair and elros short hair. it’s just their vibes <3#look i made something#tolkien

LEGENDS OF THE QUENDI
Private commission, from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Pen and ink, watercolor, 24 K gold.
Gandalf/Olorin, Cirdan, Celembribor, Gil Galad, Melian, Galadriel, Elrond, Arwen, The Elven Rings, The Elessar, and a symbolic Belt of Melian.
No, I'm not playing hooky on Good Omens, I get about 20 minutes a day to work on other stuff.
I was getting a half hour a day, but even that's too much at this point.
And yes, at roughly 25 minutes a day, a piece like this takes a really long time. Months.
I'm a big believer in making sure you pick at something else even while working on a big project, even if you only use that time for warm ups. Keeps you from crumbling under the weight of the main project.

I was watching LOTR with friends the other day and someone pointed out that a major reason film!Elrond is upset about Arwen being in love with Aragorn is because of Elrond's own broken relationship with Isildur.
In the films Isildur and Elrond are kind of set up as....a broken failed parallel to Aragorn and Arwen?
Arwen reassures Aragorn that "he is Isildur's heir, not Isildur himself," and "is not bound to his fate"-- but Elrond disagrees, confident that Aragorn will be just like Isildur.
Film!Elrond is so certain that trusting in mankind is a mistake that will only lead Arwen to misery because he once trusted in mankind, and the man he trusted ended up failing him. His ally from the line of Elendil ended up falling to the power of the Ring and dying; he believes Aragorn may do the same thing. He doesn't just want to save Arwen's life and keep his daughter by his side; he wants to prevent Arwen from experiencing the same betrayal/heartbreak he experienced.
Film!Elrond is very stoic and unsentimental, but there are all these hints at Elrond and Isildur's past relationship throughout the series. Everyone likes to make the joke "why didn't Elrond just toss Isildur into the fire?" but to me the answer is, partially, because he cared about Isildur. They were allies who fought side-by-side. After describing what happened in Mount Doom all those years ago, Elrond tells Gandalf that "It should've ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure." And I think it's interesting that he goes into passive voice for a moment, instead of saying that Isildur specifically allowed to evil to endure--because he's also blaming himself for allowing evil to endure, blaming his own failure to be harsh with Isildur and take the Ring from him by force. He's regretting that he was merciful and didn't "just toss Isildur into the fire."
youtube
His complicated emotions about Isildur also appear again in the Two Towers. After insisting that Arwen needs to give up Aragorn as a lost cause and travel into the West, Elrond has a conversation with Galadriel where she guilt-trips him for abandoning Middle Earth/mankind. When she asks him "do we let them stand alone?" Elrond walks into the study, and spends a long moment looking at his mural of Isildur.
He then, in the film's canon, agrees to send military support to one of Isildur's descendants."I don't care about Isildur anymore, men are weak," Elrond says, standing in front of his elaborate mural of Isildur and his shrine dedicated to Isildur's sword.
And yes this is all, again, a drastic departure from his characterization in the book-- most of the Aragorn-Arwen-Elrond stuff in the films is a drastic departure from the book. The films radically alter their dynamics, including eliminating stuff like Elrond being Aragorn's adopted father and all the "their bloodlines are related" stuff and etc etc etc etc etc.
But honestly, now that I see it, this interpretation makes the film!Elrond-Arwen dynamic engaging in a way I hadn't recognized before?
In some ways it puts Isildur into the role that Elrond's mortal brother Elros played for him in the books, because Elros is cut from the films entirely. Isildur is the reason film!Elrond knows what it's like to have some kind of close relationship with a mortal and then watch them die. When Elrond angrily speaks about the folly of trusting men, or insists to Arwen that Aragorn "is not coming back" so she should just get over him, he's speaking from experience--he's projecting his own weird failed broken betrayal-ridden Thing with Isildur onto Arwen and Aragorn.
And in this context, his hopeless monologue about how Arwen will regret staying by Aragorn's side also feels like it's partially from his own experience. "If Sauron is defeated, and Aragorn is made king, and all that you hope for comes true, you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality." When he fought three thousand years ago Sauron was defeated, and Isildur did become King, and yet...
TL;DR : Film!Elrond had a nasty kind-of breakup with a mortal man 3000 years ago and instead of dealing with it he decided "Men Are trash Weak" and began projecting all of his drama onto Arwen
#overthinkinglotr#lotr#XD#I like book!Elrond better in theory#but to understand elrond better id have to reread the s*lmarillion#sorry#no#X#also Im so glad the films cut all stuff about Aragorn/Arwen/Elrond being related#and all the Elrond being Aragorn's foster father stuff#I don't like it#hot take unpopular opinoin#alskdjfsdf#there are some things i wish the films hadn't cut but those aren't them#Youtube

Social Media headcanons
Aragorn
Has an official Instagram and Facebook accounts as a head of state. He also has a private account that his friends follow him on: strideranger alternatively strangerranger or rangerdanger on tiktok. His insta consists solely of pictures of his horse, Arwen and occasionally videos of cool plants or wildlife. He captions thing like an old man. His Tiktok is tracking tutorials and again nature videos. He hates twitter and isn’t on it.
Legolas
All the social medias his names include princeofmirkwood, andmybow, and legolocks. Has over a million followers in insta, tiktok and twitter. He posts lots of glammy photos of himself in the woods and tutorials of how to keep your hair and makeup intact in the battlefield. He also edits slow mows of himself shooting orcs. Doesn’t have Facebook because he claims its “for old people” despite being the second oldest member of the fellowship Posts his random thoughts in twitter and gets like thousands of retweets every time
Gimli
anmyaxe, lordofglitteringcaves, gimlet, are some of his names. Posts angry rants on twitter and faceboo. Regularly gets into internet fights with trolls. Posts videos on tiktok of his various stone projects and his workout routine (the latter gets a lot of views) Everyone loses it when he and Legolas team up for a “elf braid vs dwarf braid” youtube video. Oh yes he also has a very popular youtube channel where he explains how to of various craft trades.
Pippin
Has made foolofatook his name for everything and also a hashtag. Huge on twitter and twitch, he also has insta and tiktok and a youtube channel with Merry. Said Youtube is very popular and involves pranks, media reviews, and him and Merry doing stupid shit
Merry
Does a lot of work on the channel with Pippin. Also has a twitch and twitter. Insta king people think he’s really cool. He is the kind of person who shares his progress on candy crush and duolingo. Tried to make merrychristmas his username but it was taken and so went with theweedprofessor. His tiktok is more popular than Pippin’s but Pippin’s twitter is more popular
Sam
Not huge on social media mostly got it because his friends peer pressured him into it. Has facebook and always says happy birthday to people on it but gets annoyed by all the politics. His instagram is samnotsowise alternatively gardeningamgee. Its super wholesome, lots of pictures of his plants and pets and him and Frodo. Sometimes he’ll post a poem
Frodo
Frodo would be on tumblr tho. Username is bagginit on insta and frodoninefingers on twitter which he never uses. His tumblr is ringringhello. He also has insta but rarely posts anything except occasionally a picture of Sam. He has a linguistics Youtube channel where he talks about elvish history and language. Actually the most political on social media this is because Frodo has a very strong moral compass and wants to get the word out about important issues.
Boromir
He’s a twitch streamer I’m sorry. He also has twitter at hornofgondor. Likes everyone of Merry and Pippin’s videos and posts and reposts them with captions like “love these guys!!!” Mostly shares memes on twitter and facebook very much dad vibes

me, to myself: I've been ranting for over 20 years about my gripes with the Peter Jackson LOTR movies and especially their tremendously influential (mis)handling of Gondor, Aragorn, the legacy of Númenor, Elrond, etc, and been consistently annoyed by how much their fans insist on uncritical glorification while also trying to present themselves as fandom underdogs who must defend these inescapable behemoths from the smallest slight. Maybe I should try to focus on other things and put them behind me.
[news: Jackson is making a new LOTR project involving Aragorn and Gollum]
me: alternately, maybe I will never be free
#on some level hating the film treatment of númenórean [everything] is enjoyable for me#i mean it would be much more enjoyable if the films' handling of númenórean legacy was ... actually good. but i'm a natural hater it's okay#but the fandom's hair trigger defensiveness of them as exemplars of fidelity to which all other adaptations must be unfavorably compared?#not enjoyable! and now it's like hmm i wonder which of my faves will get sacrificed to the glorification of aragorn or legolas this time!#given that my favorite tolkien characters of all time are faramir and denethor the track record is not great!#though maybe they'll be less racist this time around (though again. the track record...)#anghraine rants#pj critical#anghraine babbles#legendarium blogging#legendarium fanwank

Elrond X Reader (gender neutral)
After seeing a stunning floppy haired, battle midst Elrond in the new Rings of Power teaser trailer, I got inspired to respond to an ancient request in my inbox which has since myseriously disppeared?!
Anyway, the prompt was Tell Me What You Want from this list
Summary & Warnings: Elrond returns from the battle haunted and desperate to tell you how he feels about you… (closed door spice)
Word Count: 900+
Tell Me What You Want
Elrond and the others returned to camp in the dead of night. You weren't asleep of course. It was impossible when not only did the fate of your kind hang in the balance, but the fate of your greatest love did too.
Elrond didn't know how you feel about him. You'd kept the desires of your heart hidden for years, holding it close as you watched him ready for a battle he may not return from.
Except he had returned.
You peer through the gap in your tent as the warriors are celebrated in their triumphant homecoming. Their smiles are bright and gleaming against their filthy armour. You scour the crowd in the dim firelight until you see him standing off to the side with his helmet tucked under his arm. His hair has grown longer over the many months, dark curls falling into eyes both familiar and haunted by something you don't recognise.
Elrond smiles at every well wisher who passes him. Shaking hands, embracing and gripping the steel shoulders plates of his comrades until they crunched. You want to go to him, but you're somehow locked in place. Even as his eyes dart around the camp as though looking for something, for someone.
Looking for you.
You chide yourself for thinking such ridiculous thoughts. He's not looking for you at all. Why would he? You're barely acquaintances, nevermind friends. You’d certainly collaborated on projects for the king in the past and often sat together during formal dinners and gatherings. Even sharing a bed once when travelling back to Lindon after completing a quest for the king. You’d stopped at an inn that only had one bed, yet Elrond was ever the gentleman, ensuring you were comfortable with him there and never giving you more than a friendly glance.
Except for the night he left for battle.
As the soldiers prepared to leave, he’d sought you out and then wordlessly lifted your hand to his lips, pressing them to your knuckles. You’d been too surprised to speak as he held you there, suspended in a moment you thought would never come. Perhaps it was his way of saying goodbye, yet you watch him now, with a flicker of hope igniting in your chest that it had meant so much more.
***
The fires are banked and the once loud cheers and cajoling have quietened to a murmur as you finally emerge from your tent. The scent of burning cedar and honey mead lingers in the air as you meander through the thinning crowd of elves squeezing as much out of the festivities as possible before the sun rose on a new day, bringing with it new challenges, as is the nature of war.
As a Scribe to King Gil-galad, you're free to move anywhere within the camp. You feel a strange mix of peace and anticipation when you reach the row of tents reserved for the king's most revered soldiers, but it occurs to you that you have no idea which is Elrond's. Then suddenly he’s there, standing in front of you with an expression of such pure relief on his face that your eyes start to sting.
“You are well, my lord?” you ask, cringing at how formal you sound.
“As well as can be.” Elrond smiles weakly in return. “And you?”
He sounds different. As though the usually reassuring tone of his voice has been stripped away, leaving behind a weariness you find almost overwhelming to witness. He takes a step towards you and you reach for him, wrapping your arms tightly around his neck as his own wind firmly around you, holding you close. You feel his lips press to the exposed skin of your shoulder where your robe has slipped down. You hear the words he whispers into your skin like a litany…
I missed you. I missed you. I missed you…Meleth nîn…
My love.
You pull back to look at him. He’s removed his armour and bathed, his wavy hair still damp and mussed.
“I missed you too,” you say, taking his hand in your own. “Which tent is yours?”
***
As soon as the flaps close on Elrond’s private tent, you come together as though magnetised. The kisses are hotter than the flames of the campfires. They burn deliciously, branding your skin so that they feel permanent. Like invisible tattoos.
You fall together onto the low bed and you release a giggle when you find yourself straddling Elrond, but then you stop when you see the way he’s looking at you. Has he always looked at you this way, you wonder. It’s everything you've ever wanted, but what of him? He’s always been so sweet and polite.
And alone.
Has he wanted you all this time, like you’ve wanted him?
“Tell me what you want,” you say, breathless and willing. “I’ll give you anything.”
Elrond’s eyes glitter as he slowly tugs on the tie holding your robe closed. The fabric pools around your waist and you feel your skin warm at the exposure. At the vulnerability of being like this in front of him.
“I want you just like this,” he says. Tilting his hips so that you feel him beneath you, hard and wanting.
“I want us to join and then never be parted–” the words become caught in a net of emotion and he looks away.
Tears begin to well as you bring your hand to Elrond’s cheek in a caress. You do not speak again, but an understanding passes between you as you give the revered soldier everything he wants.
You like this.
