Something quick and simple with Feanor and Fingolfin
The arrow is kind of random because I didn't want to give swords to both of them. Don't judge me!
Nah actually nothing bad ever happened in Arda
I love unreasonably long braids đ
(Open it if the quality looks bad)
I don't know if anyone else is interested in silvergifting besides me đ©
the last two standing
I canât remember where I saw it but someone made a headcanon that elves wear mourning veils and I absolutely loved the idea. I canât see maedhros wearing one most of the time since he kind of needs to be recognizable. I also vibe with idea of elves having complex and meaningful hair braiding practices but itâs just so much more fun to paint loose hair
when you just wanna live your life but then accidentally invent ppd, die and somehow it all gets worse from there
For Feanorian week, Miriel Serinde, in whose arms began the burning history of Noldor.

Have fun exploring and requesting!
Merci, Camille
so sweet they give me so much life
Hii! I just wanna say, your blog is life to me! Literally come here to scroll on tough days, and seeing all the character designs and funny comics makes everything better! Really love your art style and designs. I know this has been asked before but I'm wondering if I could use your art as profile pictures? I really appreciate the joy your art brings!
hihi hello!!! first off, thank you so much for your kind words! i'm sorry for how delayed this response has been (im just getting back into tumblr after one of many hiatuses... AGAIN!!!), but it warms my heart on my own tough days to hear you enjoy my designs and comics! it means a lot, so thank you again!! â€ïžâ€ïž
now onto your question about using my art as a pfp: that's absolutely fine! by the time i'm answering this it's likely a bit late already, but i hope this clears things up in the long run. im absolutely ok with anyone using my art as pfps/icons, just so long as you remember to credit me, don't claim as own, dont use for AI training, etc etc.... hope that clears things up, and sorry again for taking so long to see this!
Requests are open!
Since holidays are approaching, I'd like to open requests! In about a week, I'm going to be starting my school holidays, and I'd like to take the time to relax and unwind from school before starting on holiday assignments. Writing does that for me, so requests!!!
Rules
What won't write: NSFW, gore, sensitive topics (you can DM to ask)
How to request
Send me an ask in my inbox, and I'll see to it!
I'll be writing for Silmarillion and Rings of Power elves, Valar and Maiar.
When requesting, please include:
Name of Silm/RoP elf (if it's characters like Elrond, Celebrimbor etc, specify if you want Silm or RoP version)
Nature of relationship: platonic or romantic?
If you want me to write an OC, give me all the details about your OC (race, gender, appearance, backstory, relationships with other characters etc, everything!)
Prompt! (very important, what is the premise of the story? angst, fluff? what exactly)
Note: I won't accept anonymous requests, because I may need to follow up with the user about their character. If you don't want your username to be shown when I post your request, you can tell me in your request. However, when you request, I need you to do so with a username!
I have the right to refuse requests! I'll be going overseas, and with assignments, I may not have time for everything. Especially if requests are inappropriate in nature, I'll have to turn them down and delete from my inbox.
Have fun sending requests, and give me time to process everything, okay?
Namarie! Happy holidays all!
Love, Lady of Lindon
The High King and High Queen of Lindon are trying to have some downtime (they've just woken up from a nice long sleep) and some elf walks in.
Gil-galad is understandably pissed off (but trying not to show it) while the High Queen (Itarille, in my story she's Elrond's sister) is trying not to smile or laugh.
A scene from a book I'm writing, High Queen of the Noldor.
@queenmeriadoc (because I think this would fit well with Lady Merry and High King Gil-galad), please let me know if this is in character for them, but I think in her case Celebrimbor is the one who walked in on them
Hello âšI hope you are doing well)You can request Glorfindel (if you are not writing for him, then Gil Galad/Celebrimbor/Eonwe. For whomever you feel more comfortableđ€)Some light melancholy with the atmosphere of the phrase "In a room full of the best works of art, I would still look at you." The reader says this to the elf and calms his worries and insecurities.Reader Maiar Namo.I want to surround these elves with maximum comfort, support and strong hugsđ„čđ«¶đ»English is not my native language, I apologize in advance for mistakesđ
Work of Art (Glorfindel x female Maia of Mandos)
Glorfindel had a hard time adjusting to the Halls of Mandos. He had been there since the Fall of Gondolin, and he had to come to terms with dying, since he had been raised to believe that the lives of the Eldar were eternal, that they wouldn't end.
Yet, here he was, in the halls of the dead. He had a hard time accepting his new reality, but there was one who made it easier.
Nolwendë, she was called, the lady of wisdom. A Maia of Mandos, an ethereal being. Her alabaster skin shone even in the gloom. Her hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. When he had first laid eyes on her, his only thought was: she's beautiful. As time went by, however, she became so much more than that.
In Glorfindel's view, she saw far beneath the surface of his thoughts. In her presence, he always felt that she understood him better than any other ever had. And so he found himself spilling his thoughts and confiding in her, even more so than to his close friend Ecthelion of the Fountain.
"You're deep in thought, Laurë," Nolwendë noted. "What troubles your mind so?"
"It is nothing," Glorfindel sighed, though he knew it was pointless to hide his thoughts from her. In truth, he had felt this way for a while now, the feeling of not being enough. Especially in the Halls of Mandos, where the souls of elves far greater than he rested.
Why did she keep coming back to him, when there were other souls she could have tended to? He could understand why she stayed away from the sons of FĂ«anor, but what about Fingon the Valiant? What about Finrod Felagund? Why him?
"Your mind wanders far," she spoke softly as she walked, almost like a glide, up to him, her fingers reaching to trace his jaw. "You're tense."
"Why do you stick with me?"
Her grey eyes widened, and Glorfindel stared into their depths, mesmerised by the ethereal colour of her irises. "Why I stick with you?" she murmured.
"Your thoughts are fascinating, for one," she replied. "You've had an interesting life, crossing the Helcaraxë to Middle-earth, living in Nevrast and finally Gondolin."
She reached out and caught one of his long gold locks in her hand, playing with his hair. "You have beautiful hair, and its radiance far outshines that of Fingon or Finrod..."
"But the most beautiful thing, Glorfindel the Golden, is your soul," she finally looked at him, her eyes boring into his. "You're thoughtful, kind, compassionate. To me, those qualities matter far more than anything superficial."
She shifts to lean her forehead against his back, her arms coming to encircle him. "In a room full of the best works of art, I would still look at you. You're beautiful, in every way possible. Your heart is as golden as your hair."
She presses a kiss to his forehead, which elicited a small smile from him. "You're precious to me, Laurë, and that's all that matters. Until the end of time, I will look at you."
"Even if the Valar choose to return you to Middle-earth, I will go with you. I will never leave you, never leave your side."
Her lips curved gently upwards. "Because I love you, Laurë. And you're the most precious to me. Don't you ever forget that."
Bonus: Glorfindel brags to everyone he encounters in the Halls of Mandos, and later when he gets re-embodied, that the Maia of Mandos loves him
"It is not strength that overcomes darkness, but light." - Lord Celebrimbor
I'm sure this has been said a thousand times over, but Charles Edwards has done a phenomenal job playing the Lord of Eregion, and I thought it would be nice to try drawing our beloved elven smith.
Thank you, Sir Charles Edwards, for bringing him to life on the screen.
(Ps: I didn't intend for the first ever drawing I did of Edwards!Celebrimbor to be so bloody...but still)
Tagging the people who may like this: @queenmeriadoc (because I know you'll love anything Celebrimbor) @annahiril (thanks for the support, both on here and on Instagram!)
Additional note: I've got a sweet drawing with Edwards!Brimby planned, so stay tuned!
Overzealous Herald (Elrond Peredhel, Rings of Power)
Author's note: Written with my OC Eleniel but can be a reader insert too
Summary: Elrond is an overzealous herald, and some day, he burns out. His darling wife nurses him back to health.
As the daughter of High King Gil-galad, Eleniel knew the pressure was on for her to maintain a graceful and elegant front as the Princess of Lindon. She knew the pressure of the court, to live up to everyone's expectations, but never in her life had she seen someone so...committed to it as Elrond was.
She knew that he always felt inferior, due to his half-elven heritage. Many a night, she had spent with him in their bed, reassuring him that he was more than enough as she pressed soft kisses to his shoulders. But it seemed that she had failed to actually convince him.
She saw the emotion he hid behind his perpetually lingering smile and his sweet words. Deep down, Eleniel knew one thing.
Elrond wasn't okay.
----
"Elrond," Eleniel spoke as she entered his study, shutting the door gently behind her. He was bent over his desk, scribbling madly, a fire burning in his eyes as his quill scratched the parchment. On the ground, she saw several broken quills, no doubt swept away in anger.
"What?" Gone was the shy, sweet herald she'd fallen in love with. In his place was a tone of vindictiveness, pent up anger. Eleniel was a little taken aback by his tone of voice, but she needed to get around whatever it was Elrond was experiencing this time.
"Elrond," she spoke softly, fiddling with a lock of her long hair. "Are you alright?"
He didn't answer her. Eleniel could hear her heart shattering, but she ignored the pain and continued to linger in his study. She moved closer to his desk, her steps feather-light, and reached out to pick up a particular document to read it.
Almost like lightning, his hand shot out to catch hers. Elrond snatched the document out of her hands and slammed it on the desk so hard the quills rattled in their inkwells.
"Leave it," he growled.
Eleniel's blue eyes widened at his words. What had happened. "Elrond, I-"
Her sweet herald snapped. "If you have nothing to say, leave!" He got out of his chair, grey eyes blazing and a stray strand of brown hair falling in front of his face. Elrond was glaring back at her, his eyes ablaze with a fury she'd never seen.
However, he saw Eleniel's eyes, blue like the boundless sea. They were wide open, perhaps with shock and a little fear. Instantly, Elrond's eyes softened, and he took a step towards his wife. "Melda, I...I apologise," he murmured, his eyes downcast. "I don't know what came over me, I..."
Tears pricked the corner of his eyes, and before he knew it, they started cascading like pearls broken from a chain down his cheeks. Eleniel's heart clenched and she pulled him into her embrace.
"Talk to me, Elrond. What's happening?"
"I...I push myself too hard..." he sniffled, burying his face in her shoulder. "It's my fault...all of it."
"I hear them talk, you know," he continued, "that I'm not worthy of you, not even worthy of being here, because I'm a peredhel. I'm trying to prove them wrong."
Eleniel pressed a kiss to his forehead, and pulled away just enough to look into his eyes. The beautiful grey eyes she so loved. "Elrond," she sighed, "you don't need to prove yourself to anyone. If those...idiots cannot see that you're more than your heritage, the fault lies with them and their poor judgement."
"You think so?"
"I know so, Elrond," Eleniel agreed firmly. "Your kindness and sincerity far surpass any flattery the courtiers utter. You're genuine, you love helping others no matter who they are...need I go on?"
She pulled him to her again. "Okay, I'm officially relieving you of your duties for the rest of the week. You're to take a break, away from your work."
Elrond looked up at her, unintentionally flashing those puppy eyes. "What about the High King?"
Eleniel laughed. "Whatever objections the High King has, he can run them by me, because my lovely herald needs a break!"
She tackled him to the ground, pressing kisses to any inch of him she could reach, namely his face. Elrond laughed as he felt a knot in his chest unravel.
He needed this. To heal, to rest. As he looked down at his wife, still kissing him fervently, he knew something.
Elrond had all he needed right here.

âThe most important truths often are (simple)â - Finrod
Hereâs a simple sketch of Finrod Felagund as seen in Rings of Power! Heâs the eldest son of Finarfin and brother to Galadriel. Honestly, no one talks about him (or sketches him) enough. Great job to Will Fletcher for portraying him.
NoldolantĂ«, âFall of the Noldorâ.
Maglor plays the harp on the shores of Middle-earth, singing laments of regret, until his fingers bleed. Even then, he doesnât stop playing, for all the blood his fingers shed can never compare to that which he had spilled over the ages.
wow
Hello there! I just wanted to say I love your art, I especially love the art and comics about Finwëan wives because EÀrwen's swans destroying Nerdanel's sculpture is peak comedy. I also love your OCs especially Marildë because holy moly a Vanya marrying into Fëanor's family?
*FĂ«anor puts on his 'father-in-law from Utumno' jacket*
Also my heart just breaks at the thought of Maglor never meeting his baby, I was wondering if you could share what happened to Marildë and the child when Maglor left Valinor?
Thank you <3
sjsjHAH HELLOOOO thank you so much ahhhh!!! First off, I'm really really stoked you like my stuff about the wife squad! I love them too ahhh I wish we knew more about them in canon... but oh well, that's why headcanons exist eh!! đ
Onto MarildĂ«! GAAAH i was so tickled to hear you liked her! I honestly wasn't expecting to hear anything on her after that one post, but i am weEPING because you are!! absolutely right!! Maglor marrying a Vanya would have not pleased Feanor I think (brings back his memories of the whole Finwe-Indis spiel), so even though he did accept it I think the apprehension would stay... leading to the whole them living separately thing đ€·ââïž 'Father-in-law from Utumno' thoOOO.... omg you are a GENIUS đ I am getting that printed onto a mug ASAP and no one can stop me!!!
Hehe so I did some thinking per your prompt, and honestly I am a big fan of Marildë moving in to stay with her mother-in-law. Although she does have Vanyar family living on the slopes of Taniquetil, I like to think Nerdanel would be one of the first (after Maglor) that she tells of her pregnancy to, leading to Nerdanel assuming her maternal side and inviting her to stay with her so she take care of her.
I enjoy adding on to the narrative of Maglor's track record with pairs of twins lmao, so what's the irony of him having biological twins of his own without ever knowing? Admittedly, I ended up going on a whole other tangent with the concepts of Maglor's non-canonical kids when I was dong these sketches for stress-relief... so bear with me lololol
I think they'd be raised primarily by their mother and grandmother in Valinor, staying primarily with Nerdanel and Mahtan or their maternal Vanyar relatives interchangeably. I suppose there's not much Marildë would do except try to be a good mother, though her kids would form opinions of their own of their absent father as they grow older (with Lindion growing more disdainful, and Laurelotë more curious). When Arafinwë leads his host to Beleriand for the War of Wrath, they'd both follow along to fight and ultimately return empty-handed to their mother and grandmother without their father... Though what happens if Elrond returns with Maglor in the 4th age is a story for another day!
Thank you for this amazing prompt ahh!! I had so so much fun with it and I'm very flattered that you were interested in my OC hbjdsd đđ Thanks again, you lovely person, and have a wonderful rest of your week! đ

Three Rings for the Elven-kings
Okay, so I've also gotten results from my Insta followers, and I'm gonna do a final poll to let y'all decide!
I want to write a Silmarillion fic. I love romance stories so it will be centered around a Silm elf and an OC! Comment which elf you think I should write about.
Just to be clear, the elves in question include the Fëanorians, Nolofinwëans, Arafinwëans, Lords of Gondolin, Lords of Doriath, and elves from Imladris.
For whichever category you voted for, please comment and specify which elf you would like me to write for. Feel free to elaborate in the comments what kind of story, like the elements youâd like me to include, I should write!
Thanks a lot, everyone!
