#Celrond

[balrogballs]

Or would they squeeze her into a perfunctory line in a thousand-page story, as a throwaway reference to the tragic life of Elrond Peredhel? When they write the histories of the Third Age, would they take her long, loving, beloved life, and shove it into three weeks in a cave on Caradhras?

Would that be her fate?

Four-thousand-year-old Celebrìan, the earwig-squasher, the snort-laugher, the breadcrumb-leaver, the beating heart of the valley, who lived as well as she could, until she couldn't. Brave, kind, beloved. A single footnote long.

A South Asian inspired take on the wonderful Celebrìan, gorgeous scars and all, who has a very special place in my heart and frankly is someone I Can Never Be Normal About. Art my own, words from my fic.

December; the 8th

Advent Game: Elrond x Celebrían

How many jewelry pieces are they each wearing?

Don´t mind Elrond, he´s trying to match some Sinda and Noldo fashion together, and Celebrían is just letting him have his moment with a quiet laugh :)

Elrond had never said as much, but he had always thought that the story of Beren and Luthien falling into such a sturdy love at first sight was a little unbelievable.

He quietly held that skepticism until the Second Age, when, tired and grieving just after the war with Sauron, he turned a corner and saw several things at once.

There sat an elven-maid in silvered armor spattered with mud. Her silver hair, released from her helm, tumbled down in sweat-darkened clumps. Her sword lay bare across her lap, the cleaning cloth (half-covered in dark orc blood) discarded in favor of a lifted hand, upon which rested a songbird trilling its melody. The lady was smiling, looking upon the bird, and the smile did not lift the weariness from her face, but rested alongside it.

"Oh," Elrond thought.

Merry is May-time, and merry our meeting

@imladrisweek : day three

Just a walk under the trees in Imladris. They love each other. And nothing bad ever happens.

Finally able to post my art for this year's @tolkienrsb !

Read Kiss Afresh, as When We First Begun by @runawaymun on Ao3!

Fic Summary: At the dawn of the Third Age of Middle Earth, Elrond withdraws to his valley - quite certain that he has been altered too much by the war for him and Celebrían to be anything but friends. Celebrían just wants him to ask her to marry him already, so she takes matters into her own hands.

Everyone Go GO GO GO Read it!! 😃🥰

[elswing]

it's very important to me that if we get celebrían in a later season that the show has already established elrond as a respected, venerable warrior and leader but he's just instantly pussywhipped at the first sight of her. like i want a whole season of Elrond: The Lord of Imladris, Herald of Gil-Galad, the War General™ Hated By The Enemy only for him to immediately revert back to an absolute LOSER of a loverboy as soon as he meets her. he trips over thin air at the sight of a bare ankle. can't string two words together without fumbling it. everyone else is living in an action-adventure fantasy epic genre but nobody told elrond bridgerton that

Hello Elrond nation uhhh here’s a sketch I did like 2 years ago of Elrond and his wife Celebrían because AUGHHHHH I LOVE THEMMMM

[overlord-of-fantasy]

Feral Maglor has been found

Celebrian, smiling at Maglor: What do you want for breakfast? Maglor, with oath-crazy eyes: I WISH TO DEVOUR THE UNBORN. Celebrian: *is shocked* Elrond, sighs: He wants eggs.

One of my most why do I do this to myself headcanons is that Elrond talks to Celebrìan all the time, from the day she sails to the day he sails. That he tries to do it silently, but sometimes slips up.

Not in the way of sorrowful monologues, no, but in remarkably mundane ways. Sometimes he’s at dinner and the dessert is over-sweet and he’d mumble in disgust “god, you’d love this, wouldn’t you?” Sometimes he’d walk in the garden and see some awfully large bug and go “yes, yes, calm down, I’ll get Glorfindel to kill it”.

When he first set eyes on Bilbo Baggins he marvelled “oh, Cel, you’re right! they do have hairy feet, I owe you a gold piece!” and then immediately turned bright crimson upon remembering that in addition to hairy feet, Bilbo Baggins also had working ears.

He’d have five minutes in bed before getting up just complaining to her about all he had to do that day, and then later in the evening he’d stand at the sink with a mouthful of toothbrush, complaining about all he didn’t manage to get done. He’d chatter away about anything and everything, but always in the present tense.

It made Elladan and Elrohir very sad — after all, they knew what it was like to always have someone to turn to and discuss everything and anything, and the idea of losing that terrified them. Arwen and Galadriel would indulge him, in that they wouldn’t comment on it, and leave him to it when he slipped up.

Most surprising, however, is Celeborn’s reaction. They had had a mildly tense relationship the year after Cel was rescued, both blaming the other as cover for their own immense guilt. But any time Elrond accidentally addresses a comment to a phantasmal Celebrìan in front of him, Celeborn would do the same, to the same patch of thin air. Elrond loves him very, very much for that.

Aragorn, who had the luck misfortune of being raised by Elrond, understandably began copying his mannerisms as a toddler. This is what led to Gilraen coming across her five year old son having a full conversation with absolutely nobody whilst he played with his toy horses. Nervously, fearing for his sanity, she asks him who he was talking to, only for him to say “oh, it’s Cel, she’s a crazy lady and she’s me and Ada’s invisible friend. She hates bugs”.

Gilraen, not knowing Elrond used to call his wife Cel, spent a good two years absolutely certain that there was a poltergeist in Rivendell.

At Arwen’s wedding, as he leads her to Aragorn, he can’t help but whisper “look at our marvellous girl”. Arwen squeezes his hand, tight enough for two.

To his utter mortification, Elrond accidentally mutters “oh look at this wonderful tapestry, Cel, your favourite colour scheme!” whilst on a visit to Thranduil’s court. Thranduil politely pretends to not notice, feels a tinge of sorrow for his kind-of-friend, but also says a silent thanks to the Valar for “allowing me to avoid the Elrond approach to widowhood”.

Legolas convinces Gimli that Elrond is talking to a poltergeist, and offers him ten gold pieces to go and ask him if he’d like an exorcism.

In Valinor, two months after he arrives, Elrond is reading in his study when he’s struck soundly on the temple by a bedroom slipper. He looks up to see Cel, (his) dressing gown wrapped around her, her other slipper folded in her hand like a club: “who the hell are you calling darling at two in the morning?”

Here it is!!! I have been cooking in every spare moment and finally it is done! AAAaaaaaa!!! This is easily the best drawings of Elrond and Celebrian I've ever done, and the dragon designs for Erestor and Glrofindel literally make me grin every time I look at them :D Originally I planned for these pieces to belong to my Great Beasts AU, however, once I started on the Celebrian and Glorfindel piece I just- I'm just getting the vibe of some sort of arranged marriage au, ah! Elrond and Celebrain just have Such a Vibe about them! I am in love!

These pieces each provided their own difficulties but I'm really really glad I just stuck with it, I could hardly be more pleased!

Below the cut I've added some detail shots, I hope you enjoy :>

This is the first time in a while that I've done such an intensive work with alcohol markers, they can be a bit of a challenge, especially since my hands aren't ultra steady, but adding the scale details to the dragons and all the extra highlights with my gel pens really brought it all together.

Also,the markers bleeding through the pages left a lovely ghost image in the spread between the two pieces

This work came out so well that I really wish I did them on actually good paper, and not just in my little scrappy sketchbook. Oh well, that seems to be my curse xD

[runawaymun]

Celrond doodle as a warmup for other projects bc I miss them

& also when was the last time I drew them reunited? He's so hard on himself but they figure it out.

[unavidas]

A while ago I gave myself a drawing prompt: What if Elrond was the one who found and rescued Celebrían?
