Maedhros: Worst case scenario, you fall off the mountain.

Elros: No shit.

Maglor: Worst case scenario, I make it to the top and survive.

Elrond: If you get hungry 10 out of 10 experts say you should eat-

Elros: Is it kinslaying if I kill my brother?

Elrond: Technically that fratricide.

Maglor: Kill me now.

Elros: That can be arranged.

Maedhros: I wish I died in Utumno.

*suspicious silence*

Elrond: *Natrows eyes*

Elrond: Don't make me go over there.

What I drew Monday night. I am really proud of this one and want it to be seen.

Fingon, Findekano Nolofinwion.

Digital art.

4000 x 6000px

I did not start drawing with any idea in mind. I didn’t even know the hair or skin color. I knew nothing, but I am happy with how it turned out. I have never drawn dreads before. I have never done colored portraits before. I haven’t drawn a black person in a few months. This was like getting possessed by some spirit in order to draw him. Cheers. I don’t know why I drew him so close, but what’s done is done.

Speed paint beneath break.

There’s actually so much that went into this one. Up at the very top are eyes. They represent the Valar watching it all. There’s ships sailing from the middle point outwards from a tree that represents Valinor. At either end is a Silmaril, yellow and blue. These two represent the gems Maglor and Maedhros take. At the bottom of that flourish is the third gem, black. It hangs above everything happening. It is surrounded by a shield representing the protection of the Valar. Below is a kinslaying, blood flowing downwards towards the empty throne. The throne took hours to do. It has three sockets that the Silmarils would go into, if the king were to ever hold them again. Around the bottom is shadows reaching towards the throne and upwards towards Valinor. At the very bottom middle is a crown symbolizing Morgoth.

If the years that they are dead don't count do you think that Maglor counted the years until he was older than Maedhros? Do you think Elrond was sad when HE passed Maedhros in age?

Galadriel making a note of every time she passed a brother or cousin in age. Would she have been sad when she realized she was now older than all of her cousins that she grew up only knowing them as adults? If Maedhros is older than all of Indis's children then it would be a sad day when she knows she has passed everyone in age(that died, obvious her father, mother, and aunts and such are still older than her) Would she cry when she sees Elrond outliving people?

What about when Elladan and Elrohir start passing people's ages. Would Galadriel look at her little grandchildren that she can barely view as adults and see how young they all were?

Galadriel: Half an hour isn't that long.

Elrond & Celebrimbor: *Share a look.*

Elrond: It's half our sleep cycles.

[braxix]

Elrond: I don't actually understand Quenya. I just accidently responded in Quenya once, from the very little I do know, at a council meeting. Gil-Galad asked if I knew Quenya, I panicked and said yes.

Elrond: I was just thank for bringing a very authentic Noldorin experience to council meetings. I don't speak Quenya, I just panic convincingly.

[braxix]

Galadriel, Saruman, and Gandalf: *Incomprehensible shouting*

Celeborn: So, what's your opinion?

Elrond: That this council is unnecessary.

Celeborn: I meant about Sauron being back.

Elrond: Oh, I've been trying to tell them that for centuries. I don't think you could hear me over them though.

[braxix]

Elrond: I sure hope I colored this right!

Galadriel: Elrond, maybe leave the colors to people who aren't colorblind? You made a wonderful design, but... Um...

Elrond: Dammit!

[braxix]

The squirrels here are so dumb. They chewed off the LED lights off our neighbors hanging light strips and are burying them in our yard.

[braxix]

Elrond: Did someone call for a heal- Celebrimbor?

Celebrimbor: Oh thank the Iluvatar!

Elrond: Why are we back here? Again?

Celebrimbor: You remember when my forge exploded?

Elrond: Yeah, it was two hours ago.

Celebrimbor: Well I decided to restart it...

Elrond: And it exploded again. In your face. Come on. I still have some burn salve left.

[braxix]

Maedhros: We have a little situation here!

Maglor: By "little situation" he means "big explosion."

[braxix]

Maedhros: The kids are going to give me a heart attack.

Maglor: How? Elves can't have heart attacks.

Maedhros: I'll be the first.

[braxix]

Caranthir: I don't care who they send! I'm not paying taxes!

Elrond: Actually I'm only over here so I can dodge taxes.

Caranthir: Get in and don't make a sound.

[braxix]

Lindir: Was he always like this?

Celebrian: Yes.

Elrond: We joke. We laugh. We suppress our trauma.

[braxix]

Finrod: Why is Elrond cuffed?

Galadriel: He bit Celegorm

Finrod: So? Isn't it a little much to cuff him though?

Galadriel: He could get out if he wanted.

Gil-Galad: *Traumatized staring into middle distance* He can get out of anything.

Elrond: It's called being flexible.

Gil-Galad: It's called being a freak of nature. You dislocate your thumbs and then act like it's a regular Tuesday.

Elrond: Want to see?

Finrod: I'm sorry for asking.

[braxix]

Elrond: Ooo spider! Cool!

Literally everyone else: *Cowering in the furthest corner from him.*
