omggggGGGG HI YOU'RE BACK i love your art!! your designs for the characters are so inspiring and unique!! and your art style is just so well-suited to the silmarillion <3 my question is, do you have any headcanons about edrahil? he's my favorite underrated blorbo!

HIIIII long time no see indeed!!! thank you so much for your kind words 😭 it means a lot to hear that you like my designs and my art style! im always brawling with how much im trying to tone out the anime influences and adopt a more... 'realistic'(?) style that it ends up being a giant game of mental gymnastics on most days haha 😂 im still figuring it out, but your words are a great reassurance so i am very grateful for them!!!! 🙇‍♀️

onto your question-- edrahil!! he's definitely one of the blorbos that doesn't get enough attention 😤 i would be lying if i said that im not guilty of this too, since i think ive only ever read... one? fic with him in it waa.... but as always with the professor's work, great fun comes from the freedom with which one can interpret the minor characters! here's one of the first doodles i did of him when i got your ask:

the bread and butter of my male characters always ends up being slender bishonen-types, but one of my goals going forth is to try and adapt myself to not falling to same face syndrome in the future, so i thought itd be fun to start by making edrahil swoler than usual on a whim 🙈 based on his one (1) line the book, he strikes me as a steadfast i will follow my liege to my death type of fellow.... and then it snowballed from there.... and that's how my take on edrahil eventually evolved from stoic-man-who-is-also-a-peerless-warrior into a no-thoughts-head-empty-his-majesty-only bodyguard

i like to think he's much nicer than he lets on and nowhere near as serious as his RBF may suggest! much like the rest of finrod's personal guard (aka his fanclub), their lord's wellbeing and public image come first above anything else. perhaps their strong loyalty should be concerning, but it's finrod i-befriend-Men-and-swear-eternal-oaths-of-friendship felagund we're talking about.... so maybe theyve got their own reasons too lmao

this is getting a bit rambly (IM SORRY) but one extra comic and final thoughts under the cut!

thank you again for your kind ask AND this fabulous prompt!! im guilty of devoting too much of my obsession onto the feanorians, so i always appreciate side character prompts to get the lil squirrel wheel in my brain spinning 💖 i hope this is a satisfactory answer, and that you have a great rest of your week!!

#silmarillion #rin replies #solmarillion #finrod #edrahil #comic was inspired by a danny gonzalez skit where a rich guy has a friend constantly rag on him to keep him humble #(if you know which vid im referencing: 👀👀)#except it backfires in finrods case cause edrahil would NEVER speak ill of his liege (and sees no reason to)#to finrod's guards his ability to wear nice clothes and look great while doing so is his valar-given right LMAO #the next time i draw edrahil... he will be swoler..... jojo level swole.... this isnt enough....#i should do a serious take one day but its much more tempting to do goofy stuff #the silmarillion #the silmarillion fanart #silm #nargothrond #celegorm #curufin #finrod and his guardsmen #finrod felagund #noldor #elves #lotr elves #silm art #sakasakart #orodreth #headcanons #sketch dump #textual ghosts

16 for the ask game

(choose violence ask game)

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

I suppose in general... making all your faves Perfectly Morally Pure and Good? Their flaws are what make them interesting! The Feanorians are fascinating and complex and also awful awful people ok! Luthien is a heroine and a symbol of hope and also imo deeply selfish! Maeglin might be your poor little meow meow but he was also a creep! Like. stop casting the characters you love as perfect pure heroes (because almost none of them are) and stop blackening the names of the people who oppose your blorbos. Nuance please.

finrod/beor for the ship bingo

I LOVE THEM!!!! I see Finrod as having many lovers throughout his lifetime, and I imagine losing Bëor would've been so devastating to him, not knowing if he'd ever be able to reunite with him. AND HIS DEVOTION TO BËOR'S KIN. It makes me insane. They're so cute, I wish there was more content for them

Y’all I’m not gonna lie… I’m kinda curious about the Rings of Power now and I kinda wanna watch it.

Ik the short haired elves and girlboss Galadriel are things ppl have opinions on but like besides that is it worth it ? I don’t really want to waste my time especially since I won’t be watching it through Amazon so is it any good?

#i do plan on reading/listening to silm at some point #but while I wait to do that should I watch rings of power ?#lotr rop #rings of power #the rings of power #the silm fandom #the silmarillion #tolkien elves #jrr tolkien #tolkien #jirt #lotr #lord of the rings #the hobbit #rings of power is based off the solmarillion right?

@solmarillion requested Edrahil and I also got a few requests for Finrod (@wizardysseus and anon asks) as well, so here's a moment between them! Edrahil, steadfast and caring, while Finrod is reeling after the events of the Dagor Bragollach.

Hope you guys enjoy!! Thank you for the requests and the kind words <3

(+ here's some sketches I did when figuring out how I wanted to draw Edrahil:

)

#edrahil #finrod #finrod felagund #silmarillion #silmarillion fanart #silm art #tolkien fanart #i might draw finrod again just bc i got multiple requests for him but i'll work my way through the others first!#i'm not bothering to properly render these so we're just playing fast and loose here #i'm having fun #candlesart #here down in the valley

Hi there!

I'm a newbie in the tolkien works, I've finished off the hobbit and the lotr books but have no idea where to go next. I've looked at different websites about it but I haven't gotten any clear answers. There's like a million of these books and I feel so lost!

I figured that as a long time fan that you'd know the answers to this question if it's not too much of a bother.

Thanks in advance no pressure!

Augh, anon! This is one of the best things to ask of someone with a lifelong interest in this universe.

I WILL get back to you on this, but.

Was thinking (midnight brain) could we make it a group effort? It feels as though seeing different perspectives from other people in the fandom would be of help here, and since I do want this covered I'm calling on mutuals and followers in the Tolkien fandom.

Please if you deem, I do encourage people to add to this.

Let me try tagging (there are legit so many of us): @arofili @actual-bill-potts @eveningalchemist @goschatewabn @cuarthol @melestasflight @thelordofgifs @outofangband @thegreatstrongbow @potatoobsessed999 @hennethgalad @jamcake-muses @i-did-not-mean-to @glorf1ndel @z-h-i-e @verecunda @naryaflame @mirkwood-hr-department @saurons-pr-department @welcomingdisaster @hirazuki @nuredhel @effervescentdragon @searchingforserendipity25 @cilil @hhimring @chrissystriped @yuzukimist @edensrose @awesome-bluehair-universe @swanmaids @herinke @celebbun @auntieaugury @auroramama @puelhathnofury @kiatheinsomniac @eilinelsghost @asianbutnotjapanese @i-gwarth @batsyforyou @aprilertuileviresse @fishing4stars @elamarth-calmagol @zeladanial @silmarillionwritersguild @silmarillionno @solmarillion @samarqqand @sallysavestheday+ anyone else and ALL the Tolkien visual artists who see this and I forgot to mention (love you all, so many) if you have the inclination to add your journey/experience/recommendations? Anything, we have a good topic here.

#tolkien #the lord of the rings #the hobbit #the silmarillion #silmarillion #i just keep adding people as I remember @_@#apparently there's a limit to how many blogs you can tag on one post #so don't be shy I guess?#tolkien anon

Any special talent? ummmm. I play violin. I used to teach an elementary school orchestra so I guess I'm pretty good at wrangling 2nd graders? I'm also fairly good at wrangling Karens, I used to be a retail manager and it shows haha. oh I'm also very good at getting along with unfriendly cats.

How tall are you? 5' 10.5", or 179 cm

What are your hobbies? Writing fanfic, reading fanfic, running (when I'm less sick), playing chess, playing Mario Party, uhhh does getting boba count as a hobby because i do a lot of it

Favorite subject in school? English/literature by a wide margin. Despite this I am now a chemical engineer

Dream job? Scientist who has the breakthrough that saves the planet and stops global warming. im doing my best ok

No-pressure tagging @eilinelsghost, @curuwen, @arrivisting, @leucisticpuffin, @redbootsindoriath, @mersilisk, @sakasakiii, @skull-bearer, @sesamenom, @aotearoa20, @solmarillion, @welcomingdisaster, @cycas, @idrilsscribe, and @melestasflight! You all are amazing <3

Last Line Game

Tagged by @tragedybunny. Thanks love!🖤

They were each other's temptation just as they were each other's salvation, a spark lit in an unlikely place and between unlikely people who, by all laws and customs, should have never met, nor should have looked at one another with such longing.

This just happens to be the last line of my latest fic in general. Some of you may know where this is from~

No pressure tags: @i-did-not-mean-to @maironite @fraeuleinfriedhof @solmarillion @yletylyf @fantasyinallforms @elentarial @goschatewabn @searchingforserendipity25 @scyllas-revenge @lordoftherazzles @glorf1ndel @cliffdivingsblog @ruiniel @verecunda @a-world-of-whimsy-5 and everyone else who would like to share something🖤

Thank you for opening pride requests, I'm excited to see what you create this year! Could you perhaps do Daeron/Maglor with a trans flag?

For you too @solmarillion

The two only singers⁓

Just ignore every other bard in Tolkien´s legendarium, they're not important when these two are present.

🏳️‍🌈CELEBRATE PRIDE WITH ME🏳️‍🌈 - send in a character or a ship with a pride flag and I´ll draw it

End of Year Fic Recs!

Recommend up to 5 series or multi-chapter fics from 2023 that everyone should read (multi-year WIPs count, if the last update was in 2023).

Recommend up to 5 single chapter fics/one-shots (long or short) from 2023 that everyone should read.

Recommend up to 5 fics NOT from 2023 that everyone should read (oldies but goodies).

Recommend up to 5 of your own fics (completed or WIP) from 2023 that everyone should read.

I wasn't tagged by anyone, but I can't resist the chance to share some faves:

Multi-Chapter Fics/Series

Reconcillation – by @transmairon – T, Sauron/Celebrimbor, ongoing – Fourth Age Sauron facing the consequences of his actions and trying to reintergrate himself with the world. I cannot wait to see Celebrimbor’s reaction to meeting him again.

From Mother to Daughter – by Galenfea – Gen, 5k – The fiber arts passed down through the generations. This is the kind of topic I love; a peek into the everyday lives of elves. I loved the world-building!

companions in shipwreck – by spellworth – T, multiple, ongoing – An exploration of canon of female characters. I love this one, wonderful writing and creatvity – especially when writing about characters where canon gives them a name at most.

Haunted, Hunted - by @imakemywings – T, Elwing & Maedhros, 9.3k - Elwing goes for a walk in the woods… This one is so cool, I loved the fairytale elements and Elwing’s horror was palpable!

dye me, nocturne – by @solmarillion – T, Daeron/Maglor, 12k – Darron finds a stranger on the shore and they get talking. I love how messy Maglor is here, trying to get what he wants out of Daeron, and how raw this fic was in the grief and bitterness in these two exiles at the end of the First Age.

Single Chapter Fics/Oneshots

elvenkings – by @meadowlarkx– Gen, 1.5k – A look through history at Menegroth’s fall. This one had me sobbing, it’s so beautiful and full of tragedy.

Bow and Helm and Hand – by @jouissants – E, Beleg/Mablung/Túrin, 3.5k – Mablung joins Beleg and Túrin on the marches. Very sexy and filled with wonderful characterisation and delicious hints of angst and foreboding.

Echo of the Music – by @starspray– Gen, Thingol/Melian, 471 – A sweet look at Melian and Thingol’s relationship to each other, to art and to music (and the Music)

"…on a place of insecurity." – by @carlandrea – Gen, Thingol/Melian – This is one of my favourite Thingol/Melian fics, it’s so tender and Melian’s foreboding makes me so emotional.

At the Moment of Parting – by @daegred-winsterhand – T, Beleg/Túrin, 1.5k – Sweet and sad, Turin’s grief is so thick and real.

Pre 2023 Fics

The Gleaming Road – by melblue – E, Éomer/Faramir, 28k – Misunderstanding is a favourite trope of mine and it adds to the Drama here, with poor Eomer not knowing what Faramir is expecting from him. I don’t read a lot of LOTR era fics at the moment but this one is an old fave!

The Marchwardens – by roseofthebrightsea – Gen, Beleg, Mablung, Haldir etc, 6k – I love fics that are snippets of characters lives and this has some wonderful writing and sharp characterisation in short words.

A Challenge – by @polutrope – M, Daeron/Maglor, 1.4k – The fic that got me into Daemags! Such a fun and entertaining fic!

Unkinged – by @arofili – E, Finwë/Miriel/Indis, 1k – Looove this, a beautiful moment between the three of them in a happier time.

The Gold Are Venomous – by @aipilosse – E, Sauron/Celebrimbor, 3.1k – I love Fourth Age silvergifting and I love mischievious Annatar is here, still up to no good after all this time… though Celebrimbor isn’t complaining (much) 😉Sexy and amusing.

My Fics

I risk my life to make my name – E, Galadriel/Melian, 10k – Gawain and the Green Knight AU. This was my first attempt at something multi-chaptered and I really like it still; it was fun to write and I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Starlight – M, Mablung, 944 – Mablung falls in Menegroth. This is was fun because I love angst and I liked playing with the structure with flashbacks.

Feast – Gen, Idril & Turgon, 1k – Idril reflects on her time on the Ice and how her father looked out for her. I love thinking about Idril & Turgon.

Reunion – Gen, Andróg & Andvir, 858 – Andvir finds his father in the wilds. I am never not thinking about the Gaurwaith.

Jealous Kiss – Gen, Celebrimbor/Sauron, 370 – Annatar teases Tyelpe. I love it when Annatar causes problems on purpose.

aredhel/luthien for the ship bingo :>

1. The Aredhel that I share this meatsuit with likes to be paired with just about any beautiful woman

2. I think that Lúthien should help kick Eöl's ass with her eldritch Maia powers
