we’ve all seen arranged marriage russingon aus but how about a “both of them desperately try to talk their fathers into arranging that specific marriage while their fathers insist that of course they’d never trade their children’s ability to make a lovematch for the sake of politics” au

(bonus points if the conflict is mended by feanor and fingolfin separately deciding that it’s gone too far if their eldest sons feel the need to sacrifice themselves over it while our main couple remains tragically and selfishly blueballed)

#Maglor is writing a very sarcastic opera about it 8n the background

When the opera comes out everyone is very sure it's slandering someone but no one is quite sure who. They play it at the wedding.

More art of Aragorn from the upcoming Lord of the Rings set for Magic the Gathering. Lots of spoilers dropped today for the set.

LORD OF THE RINGS SET FOR MAGIC THE GATHERING??????

Establish dominance by declaring an Elf a “Man-friend” before they declare you an “Elf-friend”

Make sure they know you are not just any kind of Lord but a Man-Lord

I’ve realized something

Everyone who is in any way aspec and into Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, and/or the Silmarillion reblog this. Those who aren’t comment.

A majority of the people I’ve seen who are into it are aroace so just need to check.

I just saw a piece of art of Finduilas as Gil-galad, and now I’m wondering, was Aeglos originally the spear that pinned her to the tree, only she (somehow) survived, pulled it out, then decided to soup it up and make it her own weapon? Because that would be cool as fuck. :D

@princess-faelivrin have you seen this yet?

me when i see white fingon: why are you white

Having lots of Turin and Tuor feels these days…

icon commission for @electroniccollectiondonut!! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to draw Orodreth again :D

id: a square portrait of orodreth, an elf with fair skin, silver eyes, and off-white hair cut in a fluffy bob. he looks dissatisfied or perhaps mildly judgmental. 

Finduilas Faelivrin, princess of Nargothrond

I like Finduilas a lot. I wish we knew more about her. Her death is one of the more disturbing to me in the Narn. The sheer pointless hopelessness of it all…

The model for both the center and bottom middle is Tindi Mar! 

guess the hidden symbolism in a few of the squares!

also obligatory tag of @princess-faelivrin who has the best Finduilas content ever and also introduced me (and I think everyone else) to the Fin Galad concept which is beautiful! I know this isn’t your design but your art was definitely in my mind when I made this!

Rant

There needs to be art of Orodreth and Finduilas being father & daughter-y together!

happy Gates of Summer to @loothientinooviel!! I hope you enjoy your gift!!!

id: a drawing of modern Luthien, Dior, and Beren having a day at the beach. Luthien is smiling and eating a slice of watermelon as she watches Dior (a small child) bury Beren in the sand. 

Here's my @gatesofsummerexchange gift for @esmeblaze! Happy Solstice!

I GOT TO DRAW FIN-GALAD!!! In fancy hanfu!!! I was so excited when I got you as my giftee, I hope you like it!

All right Silm fandom, I want to hear who your favorite character is. And by “favorite character,” I mean “I have carefully constructed their complex personality and elaborate backstory from 2 lines of canon text”

perfect ship dynamic is two people whose mutual understanding only just barely outweighs their mutual resentment. like not in a "foe yay" or "hate ship" way, in a really awful messy intimate fond way. an "i see too much of myself in you and this makes me feel simultaneously less alone and really awful" way. a "you know me too well and the vulnerability scares me" way. a "loving you may as well be an act of self acceptance therefore i can't let myself wholly love you" way.
