For the Valentine request; there's never enough Galadriel and Celeborn art imho

You know what?? I think you´re right!

Okay, so I have a headcannon about Galadriel being the tallest of Finarfins children. I´m not going to explain more other than she´s mommy and probably always wears something with innerboob showing.

Some sketches from The Silmarillion.

"Then Felagund upon the head Of Orodreth set it: 'Brother mine, till I return this crown is thine.' Then Celegorm no more would stay, and Curufin smiled and turned away."

For the @candcweek prompt "Oaths" -> Fëanorian Oath!

This line from the Lay of Leithian has always really stuck with me for some reason. The C&C brainrot is real.

"Yet neither bread nor rest would he grant to Celegorm and Curufin within his realm, and he swore that there should be little love between Nargothrond and the sons of Fëanor thereafter. ‘Let it be so!’ said Celegorm, and there was a light of menace in his eyes; but Curufin smiled. Then they took horse and rode away like fire, to find if they might their kindred in the east. But none would go with them, not even those that were of their own people; for all perceived that the curse lay heavily upon the brothers, and that evil followed them." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of Beren and Lúthien"

@cnc-week day 2 ⇢ CURUFIN + FLAMES

[ID: an edit comprised of six posters in shades of brown, black, cool-toned red, and white.

1: A closeup of Saffron Vadher, a british-indian model with brown skin and long black hair. She is shown from just below her eyes to her mid chest, and wears a large silver necklace. Her expression is neutral and her eyes appear closed, one decorated with bold black lines. White text in the center of the image reads "curufinwë" and underneath in a smaller serif italicized font "skilled finwë" / 2: A dark sky full of stars and the red clouds of a nebula. White text at the top of the image reads "stars" and underneath "fire of inspiration." More text at the bottom of the image reads "Curufinwë Feanor's own name; given to this, his favourite son, because he alone showed in some degree the same temper and talents." / 3: Red lightning in a dark sky. One tendril reaches down to strike the dark mass of a hill. Same format as Image 2, but the upper text reads "lightning" and "fire of action" and the lower text reads "And after Celegorm Curufin spoke, more softly but with no less power, conjuring in the minds of the Elves a vision of war and the ruin of Nargothrond." / 4: Saffron Vadher, this time looking straight ahead and leaning her chin on a silver holder. She wears silver earrings and is smiling slightly, possibly in anger. Same format as Image 1, but the text reads "atarinkë" and "little father" / 5: Saffron Vadher's face unevenly reflected in the pieces of a broken mirror that she holds in one hand. She wears a metallic bracelet of interlocking swirls. Same format as Images 1 and 4, but the text reads "fëanárion" and "son of fëanáro" / 6: A billow of red fire in the dark. Same format as Images 2 and 3, but the upper text reads "flame" and "fire of destruction" and the lower text reads "In the night Fëanor, filled with malice, aroused Curufin, and with him . . . he went to the ships and set them all aflame; and the dark sky was red as with a terrible dawn." //End ID]

Fragment of a linen tunic from Egypt, dating to the 5th or 6th century AD/CE, when the province was part of the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire. The fragment features clavus bands with a red ground and black border; within the bands are polychrome figures of animals. Each band ends in a pendant medallion of inset wool. The tunic is now in the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York City, NY, USA. Photo credit: Cooper Hewitt.

Fëanorian Kisses: A Kiss As A Promise (9/17)

I'm in an absolute slump, writing-wise, so I've been digging through the back catalogue of little things for inspiration. Let's have a couple of weeks of daily fun/angst with the rise and fall of the House of Fëanor. Maybe I'll spin something else off one or another of them; who knows?

Full collection is on AO3 in Fëanorians in Seventeen Kisses, if you prefer the whole feast at once. ;)

A kiss as a promise Fingolfin cannot help himself: he scoffs at the feathers on his brother’s helm, widens his eyes in derision at the array of keen-edged blades in the “armory.” What is Fëanor crafting here, all hot from the forge, wary and evasive and sharp? It is not right. It is dangerous. Does Fëanor really think their safety is at risk? Fingolfin stands tall and drawls some cool warning about law, and custom, and propriety. “Come, brother,” he hears himself saying, “enough of this foolishness.” Fëanor just grins, and draws a blade, and presses his lips to it: red against the polished steel.
