Duilin, Lord of the House of the Swallow

Design notes: Swallow

I thought a lot about what kind of bow to give him. While a smaller, lighter bow made sense for the swiftest of the Gondothlim, I wanted to maybe play with a different angle. I decided on Kyūdō and a Japanese inspiration on the end. I liked the sense of artistry and ritual that goes into Kyūdō and I wanted to represent different kinds of archery in Middle Earth.

glorfindel strikes me as the kind of guy whose love language is physical touch so a few weeks ago i did some rough sketches just to explore that and how he'd interact with all the different ppl in his life 🤔

bonus: can hugs have healing properties? the imladris case study

sparkly pink bg credit to Cartoon Network as always :D

All these gentlemen were drawn as part of the Gondolin Gang series for intea (my deep gratitude for this opportunity and inspiration ♥). Of course I will draw the remaining two, but now I want to show the finished ones 😃

I tried to draw different but stylistically similar and simple outfits, hairstyles and faces, so that one could believe that they live at the same time and in the same place, being in an everyday (medieval) environment - most of them had small bags for small things and clothes whose fit is regulated by a belt and not by patterns.

Egalmot got the most complex background - there's a cat there, did you see it? 🐈

Who do you like the most and who has the coolest handbag? 🙂👀

Day 3: Gondolin | House of the Golden Flower | Nobility | Friendship

A sunny afternoon in one of the many stairways near Glorfindels gardens, Glorfindel and Duilin enjoying a cup of tea. They're both such gossips: Glorfindel having grown up in the courts of Tirion, loving discovering the secrets of the other nobles, and later even spying for Elenwe, has great fun chatting with Gondolins own spymaster. Duilin, Lord of the House of the swallow, a half teleri who was elevated into lordship only in Gondolin, chief of the swallows, the spies of the city, knows exactly what happened when and where. They're sadly also a bit impulsive and start fights easily with each other, sharp tongues and cheeky, but they share a deep friendship none the less.

Yes, Maeglin, the cow

Turgon, trying to be a relatable uncle: Sometimes I drink milk straight out of the container.

Maeglin: The cow???

Turgon: What?

Duilin: Maeglin, W H Y?

HERE is the master-list.

Notes:

Happy Holidays- bet y'all thought you'd never see a new one of these posts. Well, as I'm slowly reposting all the sigils on Bluesky, I found the few finished Lords of Gondolin before the program I used completely died on me and I refused to buy the new version.

So the Lords of Gondolin have sigils, conventional ones, described in "The Fall of Gondolin" which is in The Book of Lost Tales II and is the earliest piece of the legendarium, written in 1916 and amended in 1920. So oldest of old draft that is still canon. But that means that what's described is not the wacky radial symmetry in lozenges that I mentally label the Eldar-mon. So:

Glorfindel was Lord of the House of the Golden Flower, and he personally wore a green mantle embroidered with golden celandines (which those flowers aren't a perfect match for). To be fair, the sigil started off as something else, but afterwards I realized that yellow flowers on green, even if of muted tones, would not read to a Tolkien fan as anything but a sigil for Glorfindel. Now, we can be cheeky and say this is the sigil for Glorfindel of Rivendell, and thus any inaccuracies are either a subtle nod to there being two Glorfindels- or the reembodied Lord of the Golden Flower is trying to hide his identity.

Ecthelion was Lord of the House of the Fountain, who delighted in silver and diamonds. So, pale grays and silvers and stars and a design that invokes the multifaceted cuts of gems. Also the suggestion of pipes, be it the flutes that they played into battle or those of more mundane plumbing.

Duilin was Lord of Hosue of the Swallow, his troops famous for their archery, hence an arrowhead as sigil, feathered helmets, and their colors were blue, white, purple, and black.

Kinktober 2024 - Begging (Impact play & edging/OD (orgasm denial))

Our poll winner! Based on this art by @sortumavaara. Duilin falls into a pit of white-hot depravity.

Prompts: Begging (Impact play & edging/OD (orgasm denial))

Pairing: Duilin x Balrog

Words: 560

Warnings: drugging, aphrodisiacs, impact play, temperature play, OD, begging, humiliation, captivity, monsterfucking (I guess)

Duilin recalled the seemingly endless fall that had turned the name of his House into a cruel joke—despite his fleet-footed grace, he’d plummeted like a stone rather than soaring weightlessly through the smoky air.

He’d been sure that this was the end—he now wished it had been.

As the terrible, nameless dread that stared at him from unblinking eyes drew closer with a sound akin to crumbling rock, Duilin tried to crawl away, but his limbs were leaden and his mind unable to tell right from left.

Upon being handed the prisoner like a rare gift, the creature of darkness and depravity that was now looming over Duilin like a nightmare incarnate had at once forced his lips apart to pour some foul-tasting brew down his throat.

Ever since, the Elven Lord had found himself unable to fully control his body and mind.

Old desires, which he’d always denied and suppressed, broke through the cracks of his shattered self-esteem like streams of molten stone, and he whimpered softly.

“Beg, little one,” a voice said as a painfully hot, clawed finger was dragged along his spine slowly.

When he valiantly refused to comply despite the overwhelming urge to arch his back and offer his shamefully pliable, needy flesh to the detestable monster, Duilin felt a palm as broad and hard as a slab of marble come down against his wantonly clenching behind ruthlessly.

He screamed, but his outrage melted into a pitiful whimper before his voice petered out.

“Soon,” the Balrog hummed. “Not long before you’ll be the perfect pet!”

The heat—without and within—was nigh unbearable, and Duilin whispered a shivering plea, though he wasn’t sure for what act of clemency or corruption he was asking.

The ogre—its smouldering, scaly body sliding ever closer—cackled. Duilin was fascinated by the thick, lashing tongue emerging from a lipless, fanged mouth to taste the abused, stinging skin of his bare behind.

Writhing with debilitating concupiscence, Duiling pushed back against that teasing touch and groaned when huge fingers fastened a leather collar around his throat.

Next, a pair of fake ears and a furry tail were affixed to his feverish body before the Balrog leaned back with a satisfied hum that made Duilin convulse with unmet greed.

“Please,” he choked out. “Please, make it stop.”

He was falling still, and his skin was ablaze as his descent into madness sped up inexorably.

“You can do better,” his jailor purred, giving Duilin’s frantically twitching cock a single firm stroke before pulling back again. “Tell me that you’ll take your medicine. Swear that you’ll be an obedient pet.”

“I beg you—I swear,” Duilin keened, desperate for the bone-breaking relief of finally hitting the ground, this ageless horror on top and deep within him.

He wanted to be touched—he wanted to be taken.

Another quick stroke that cut off Duilin’s breath, followed by a long spell of torturous immobility.

“For the love of…” Duilin didn’t get to finish his sentence as five long, scalding fingers closed around the base of his cock and squeezed.

A wall of fire rose between the captive Elf and the liberating climax he so craved; Duilin hastened into another bout of supplication, stumbling over his words as his limbs contorted in the desperate attempt to create any kind of friction.

“Soon,” the Balrog repeated happily.

let me know if the text is too hard to read... hopefully it wont be on desktop but ill see what i can do if need be 👍

i had a lot of fun with these batch of concepts so below is an extra comic and a sketch page:

extra 2: just some bonus rough sketches of the lords' possible dynamics w/ others prior to the darkening?? i write fanfiction in my head 25 hours a day bc i forgot how to do so with actual stories HAHAHA

Egalmoth watched as Rog Glorfindel and Echthelion hid with four elflings behind the stack of barrels. Surprised shouts and confused angered cries echoed soon after. The grouo burst out laughing and took off in the opposite direction they had left the chaos.

Galdor shook his head "And they call themselves Lords"

Egalmoth smiled faintly as a honey and flour covered Pengolodh stomped toward the nearby well.

Duilin turned to Galdor with a smirk. "Do not act as though those troublemakers are the only Lords with questionable repute. Just last month you and our Lady were tsken to task by our King for some incident with the goats I still have not heard the full tale of."

Galdor's cheeks colored brighter than the tomatoes in his basket.

Egalmoth chuckled as they walked past the group of elves trying to use the well bucket to relieve them of all the honey and flour dousing them.

@gondolinweek day four | duilin and egalmoth

And many other kindreds were there, the folk of the Swallow and the Heavenly Arch, and from these folk came the greatest number and the best of the bowmen, and they were arrayed upon the broad places of the walls. Now the folk of the Swallow bore a fan of feathers on their helms, and they were arrayed in white and dark blue and in purple and black and showed an arrowhead on their shields. Their lord was Duilin, swiftest of all men to run and leap and surest of archers at a mark. But they of the Heavenly Arch being a folk of uncounted wealth were arrayed in a glory of colours, and their arms were set with jewels that flamed in the light now over the sky. Every shield of that battalion was of the blue of the heavens and its boss a jewel built of seven gems, rubies and amethysts and sapphires, emeralds, chrysoprase, topaz, and amber, but an opal of great size was set in their helms. Egalmoth was their chieftain, and wore a blue mantle upon which the stars were broidered in crystal, and his sword was bent – now none else of the Noldoli bore curved swords – yet he trusted rather to the bow, and shot therewith further than any among that host.
