I scribbled this in class haha

Maedhros (& banner, blue and silver)

for @feanorianweek, day 1: Maedhros, Union of Maedhros

feanorians ranked during the exams season

maedhros: made a spreedsheat to plan his studying and actually managed to stick to it. is prepared for all the classes. passes everything with flying colours and annoys the shit out of you. knows how to turn his stress into something productive. 10/10

maglor: made a spreedsheat to plan his studying and did NOT stick to it. has accepted that he will be failing at least one class and named it his nemesis. spends more time procrastinating than actually studying, but manages to bullshit his way through the questions. you KNOW he didn’t study enough but the teacher doesn’t. 7/10

celegorm: never said he would study and has not. no, actually, that’s a lie; he studied for that one or two classes that he really likes and let maedhros bully him into a quiz for the rest of them and called it ‘studying’. can’t remember the answers to said quiz. doesn’t really care. 5/10

caranthir: said he would study and then procrastinated. crass-coursed entire classes the day before they were due, and managed to pass with a moderately good grade. has like, three classes he excels in because he likes them better. would try to help you study but then you’d both fail. 6/10

curufin: like maedhros but he overachieves. the spreedsheet is colour-coded. the hours he spends studying each class are calculated based on difficulty, on the material, on how much the teacher likes him, on the velocity of the wind during the weekends. aces everything through a coffee and sleep-deprivation induced haze. 11/10

amrod: you’d think he needs to be bullied into studying but he doesn’t. takes turns quizzing himself on the material with each of his family members. sits next to someone and says the whole lesson aloud. he prefers to do it to maglor because maglor barely even notices he’s there. 8/10

amras: does need to be bullied into studying. amrod threatens to quiz him on everything and follows through, leaving amras no choice but to study. complains the whole way through to anyone that will listen. barely passes his classes but he says it’s okay because he won’t need them when he grows up. 3/10

“Nobody will ever know what it is like for them. The Valar tell nobody of it. But Elwing and Maedhros fall into this strange, unnatural rhythm. Sometimes it feels like they are laying down and longing to die. Other times, it is all that keeps them alive. Each night, the moon climbs the trees, an aloof observer. The two of them begin uncurling out from themselves and into each other like pressed-together seeds in the cold earth. An unasked-for hybridisation.”

thought today’s sickbed sketch was cute enough to share, so enjoy desert island frenemies-with-benefits Elwing and Maedhros, as seen in my fic The Island Dwellers where they explore each other’s bodies for the sole purpose of fucking with the Valar 😇

Hide-and-seek.

My hc is that Maedhros is kinda traumatized by never finding Elured and Elurin in the forest.

Also that’s a random laiquendi oc I needed for comic lol. No name.

this is a small comic idea i had about maedhros and fingon as kids and i rly wanted to draw it out! i think that is fingon the oldest of fingolfin/finarfin’s kids and thus the only one of the bunch for a while, so it was interesting to think that fingolfin would initially tell him to stay away from uncle feanor’s boys before loosening up in later years

but srsly tho i love the relationships that finwe’s grandkids have with each other so i wanna do more exploring of that! i didnt know if i should post the comic one panel at a time and decided to do it all at once, so i hope it doesn’t look too convoluted now that it’s posted 😬 

BONUS: returning to fingolfin + a pretty chill anaire

i’ve started planning some similar comics about maglor and elrond, or maedhros in thangorodrim, so if there’s any you think i should do first feel free to suggest! 

Caranthir

for @feanorianweek day 4: Caranthir

Generally I’m a terrible reviewer of fic. When I like something very much, I always want to write a review that would make the writer feel at least half as great as their fic has made me feel, and always end up talking about MY feels instead. 

But seriously, emilyenrose’s The Starless Road is one of the best fics I’ve read. It’s a unique case for me, while reading it I had this distinct feeling, sad and bittersweetly hopeful, like I had reading the LOTR itself, closer to its end. It has the same atmosphere, fairy-tale-ish and profound, and something just shines inside it. I loved it and if you haven’t read it yet, go, go.  Just wanted to make a little watercolor or Sam and Fingon doing hobbit things together. And now I’m off to cry over them some more. 

Bonus:

Crablor giving autographs for @thescrapwitch, inspired by the concluding scene of her amazing fic Little Crab on the Big Stage. If you haven't already, go read it, it's one of my favourites!
