me: *frantically writing diploma* *crushed beneath the unbearable weight of the looming deadline*

brain: *poops out ✨brilliant✨ drawing ideas in relentless staccato*

me @ brain: why are you like this. Nobody likes you.

What a beautiful thing to feel this young again.

Maedhros closes his eyes as a wave of warmth rises through their shared bond. Doubts wash away, leaving him marvelling at the sensation. To see his memories, hear his thoughts, feel his emotions.

It casts the world in kaleidoscopic perspective. Gods, how he missed him. Missed this.

How effortlessly Fingon tears down his defences – the walls Maedhros built so carefully to shield his mind and cage his shadows. But to whom, if not Fingon, could he lay bare his scarred heart?

No constraints. No illusions. Just them. Just this, once again.

IM GONNA DRAW

[mauvearts]

Well hello, Mr hair commander 😌

[mauvearts]

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to participate in this year’s Feanorian Week

but I do have a little snippet of a Celegorm WIP for you!

[mauvearts]

So, I went skiing the other day and what can I say

my messed-up brain forced me to prove that Tyelco + ugly '90s ski gear is a match made in heaven.

Young Arafinwë and his brother let the day come to a peaceful close outdoors for @morweneledhwen

Well, it's been a hot minute since I last drew Finarfin! And I don't think he ever left the WIP stage, so this is a first. What a shame! Thank god Morwen reminded me to give him some love again. Also, I've really grown to love Finarfin ever since I read Morwen's take on him. "All his sons" is basically canon to me at this point.

Thinking about these two spending a day or two out and about together really sparked my inspiration. Now that I think about it, I love imagining Nolofinwë as a closet adrenaline junkie. Climbing is such a mental game, of course Nolo would love it! And it just so happens to align perfectly with his brother's request to go searching for rare herbs and flowers.

The requested trope for this was transferring qi, so I imagined Arafinwë having the ability to channel light to some extent, using it to form a connection with another person for healing or relaxation like easing his brother's fatigue after an exhausting climb.

Do you know that feeling when you just can’t seem to make any progress on your own? I’ve reached a point where I just have to hope I get lucky for a piece to turn out well. Something always feels off—anatomy, perspective, composition. How did I even do this back then?!

...since it's Valentines Day

here is nothing but a really rough scribble of everybody's favorite incestuous cousins sharing a tender moment... 💕

[mauvearts]

What has become of you ...?

[mauvearts]

I'm feeling a bit unmotivated with some of my other projects, so if you have a prompt or idea, send it my way maybe? ♥
