@youareunbearable

Babe, please. Dont hide these in the tags. Your brain is huge. This just changed my entire world view. We should kiss on the mouth.

Already did monopoly but I'll add it so that other people can see it too. Although I added more to this one.

@backgroundelf @arinele @weezlbot

Feanorions and Monopoly would be even MORE chaotic. No matter how they start the game, it would always end up with them taking it too seriously. They would somehow make it into a high stakes strategy game only not so slightly veering into warcraft. It'd be Silmarillion 2.0. No one really dies but theres always someone who gets close to being stabbed and someone flips the table at least twice a game.

Moryo is being a very stingy banker. He wanted to play too but was too preoccupied on the money distribution being Right that just took over the job. But when he does join in the game, everyone suddenly wants to team up against the guy on principle. Moryo double checks every piece of money everyone has. He somehow knows how much is left in your bank and can and will find a way to bankrupt you for the pettiest things. In fact, he enjoys driving people to backrupcy. Especially Curufin. And Maglor.

While he's playing, Maedhros vollunteers to be the banker and suddenly commiting tax frauds are 10x more harder and easier at the same time. It makes Moryo wanna rip his hair off.(His own or Meadhros. He's not that picky)

It is surprisingly, Maedhros who commits tax frauds when playing but they cant even call him out on it because he is somehow able to keep argueing his way out of the accusation and it blindsides them when he pulls out an Actual Literal Quenyan Property Law out of his ass and says that they cannot properly arrest him nor seize his properties without a warrant and evidence. He claimed the Ambarussa as his "vassals" (there are no such things as vassals in monopoly, Nelyo—) and therefore he has negotiated, with all the gravitas and political expertise he has learned from several years of leading armies and being an actual Lord of Himring, 25% of their own profits to be promised to him. ("This is basically daylight robbery, brother! From our own flesh and blood!—")

Maglor is somehow getting good investments at the first half before Curufin and Celegorm worked together to bankrupt him in one fell swoop. He is shouting crying throwing up but he cant do anything about it but become indebted to the two.

There was a near mutiny when Feanor and Nerdanel teamed up.

Before they knew it they're in a three way war with each other.

No one has more stronger opinions on property law than Feanorions.

I mean I've got this whole feanorians and boardgames thing here if you wanna check it out

Ok, here me out: Noldor board games are horrendously complicated and take forever to finish like Campaign for North Africa.

Maedhros loves these games.

[sesamenom]

I have a ton of bigger projects rn and am having a really hard time picking one to work on, so what are you people most interested in seeing in the near future?

(Disclaimer: the results of this poll are not the sole deciding factor in which piece i'll work on, but will definitely be a major part of it.)

Build-an-Elf 2

2nd edition of my Build an Elf. Subject elf has been picked but not revealed. Status: layout finished Features: One character, color+shading, moderate background Links: poll

Union of Elrond Intro

Intro art of a major scene for a Union of Elrond series I'm trying to get started. (mini summary: the Feanorions return during the early stages of the Fellowship/War of the Ring. Plans change, the Union of Maedhros is revived as the Union of Elrond.) Written piece is in the works for the intro art. Status: (art) first set of lines done, colors started. (writing) being edited Features: 16 characters and counting, 16+ horses, 1 dog, color+shading, some details in background Links: sneak peek

Family Tree v3

Version 3 of my massive family tree, this time trying to include every Legendarium character and accompanying art for larger groups (house of finwe, house of thingol, lords of gondolin) Group art will be recycled from my previous pieces, heraldry will be doodled. Up there w/ Union of Elrond in terms of complexity Status: (tree)in progress for 3 months, mostly finished. (art) House of Finwe + Thingol complete, Lords of Gondolin not started. Heraldry halfway done Features: lots of characters. too many even. colors. heraldry doodles. Links: v2

Silm Risk Board

Risk game board with a map of Beleriand instead. Regions are as accurate as I can make it (...unlike real Risk), though many regions are fragmented to get 42 territories in. Status: recently revived, halfway done. Features: no characters, lines

Improved Gollum Game Concepts

What it says on the tin. Art for a better version of the gollum game, which will not be made because I cannot code, but it's funny (imo) at least. Status: Doodles. Will be finished as colored doodles Features: Gollum, messy lines+color, white void background

Lords of Gondolin Group Piece

Also fairly straightforward. All the lords in one place because my lords of gondolin series got abandoned months ago. Similar to my House of Finwe group piece. Status: Not started Features: 12 characters, color, white void background

Fingolfin v Morgoth Animatic

Badly animated Fingolfin vs Morgoth battle. I've been working on this one on and off for a couple months so the quality/style changes a lot. By far the most complex/longest to complete Status: fingolfin is at the gates. very much unfinished Features: Animated 2 characters, black&white, grey void background

More from my previous post about introducing Feanorions to Scrabble...

Edit: now with part 3! Part 4!

Maedhros INVENTED the quenyan version of "Y'all'dve'if'i'dve" and gave everyone within hearing range an instant aneurysm deep into their soul. Its a wide range aggro spell and everyone just has to deal with it.

He keeps managing get enough letters for it every game and also keep trying to sell it as a legit word. Everyone is LOSING THEIR MINDS.

Maedhros: Well, technically,—

Feanor: SERIES OF CONTRACTIONS IS NOT A WORD—

Nobody knows how serious Maedhros actually is about the claim but he's already dug this far. He's not gonna back down. He's not a Feanorion for nothing. Boy has a pick axe and a shovel and he's not afraid to use them.

Feanor is one step away from disowning his firstborn but is slowly convinced which almost starts a legitimate coup among the family.

Nerdanel notices Feanor being swayed by their sweet tongued eldest and is considering inventing divorce.

Curufin is torn between supporting his father's side but honestly has never felt more patricidal rage till that day. He ultimately decides to pin the blame on Maedhros and acted accordingly, as is deserved.

Celegorm had to be banned from having Huan with him in the game because he keeps sending him to eat other peoples letter tiles when theyre not looking and Maglor is THIS close to shoving a harp down his throat. The ass keeps targeting him for some reason. (He's not gonna risk doing it to Father or Maedhros. He might not be the smartest but he's not an idiot either)

Maglor: I put down bloodred.

Moryo: Thats two words

Maglor: Thats one word

Moryo: No it fucking isnt—

...

Celegorm: Blood red. *scoffs* Its fucking orange

Huan: *barks in agreement*

The ambarussa had been caught trading letter tile with each other when no one is looking and suddenly another rule is added to the list. The Rules has become a long list of general do's, don'ts and very specific situations that you would rather not question as to how it became a rule.

[Had to edit it so others can see it]

[blueflipflops]

I see your Feanorians squabbling over Scrabble and I raise you Feanorians playing Uno and Mario Kart.

[Just finished exams haha. I'll just add the mario kart part later]

[This is from feanorians and scrabble, part 2, part 3, (monopoly)]

Uno with Feanorians operate on the premise of the rules being whatever you can convince the whole table are the rules. They had a whole Established Rules for Uno around family but sometimes Meadhros invites Fingon to circumvent this rule. The presence of a cousin makes the rules free game to rehash.

Discussion (arguements) over the rules often lasts almost 12-15 hrs and no one is allowed to start the game while there no Absolute Clear rules. (Which is half the fun in these games for them. I do believe that Ñoldorins think that banter and arguing for the sake of arguing is a very enjoyable pasttime and somewhat a game to them(Damn i'd sqy that they would LOVE a game of Werewolf then I remembered Finrod))

(This is also the reason Celegorm invites Aredhel to these games. To establish his own Bullshit rules.)

Betrayal between brothers were expected but when Fingon dropped Mae's ass with a +4, (on top of the accumulating +26 cards that had already gone a full circle around them, making it +30 cards) his brothers could almost hear his heart breaking. Mae wasn't able to control his face fast enough and his brothers are like a school of piranhas that can smell blood in the water from a mile away. In that split minute of betrayal, Maglor has somehow acquired a harp and started playing a lament while Curufin and Caranthir provides commentary like they're a narrator of either a drama reading or a nature documentary. The Ambarussa are doing backup singing in harmony with the music and Celegorm is HOWLING in laughter. He's slapping the table, teary eyed and at some point hit his side on the pointy edge of the table (Maedhros did NOT push the table. What are you talking about—) and now he's curled up on the floor. No one knows if he's still laughing or crying in pain.

The jeering would come to the point where Nerdanel would peek inside the room to ask what is happening and why is your brother on the floor? And suddenly fingers fly around faster than any arrows Fingon has ever released.

For some reason Curufin almost always have the best luck in this game with the Ambarussa right behind to him. He's so smug about that especially when Maedhros has the worst luck. He hates it so much. Everytime they play, they know what's going to happen yet Maedhros almost always go through all 5 stages of grief as the cards keep pilling up in his hands. Mae is surprisingly ( or unsurprisingly, considering) a sore loser. He keeps denying this and just cannot accept losing in a game of chance no matter how much he plans and schemes.

The Ambarussa gets so smug whenever they win because no way would Caranthir or Curufin would just lose. Maedhros would try but they all know how that would go. It would almost always end up in a showdown between those three on who could lose as many cards as fast as possible.

Whenever Celegorm invites Aredhel into these games, he always gets too into the high of circumventing the pre-Established Rules by inviting a cousin. Aredhel uses this against him. Whenever he gets uno, she uses all the plus (+2, +4), cancels, reverses or even flips just so he can't put down the last card. She'd peek at his card and change the color to something he doesn't have. It drives him crazy because in just a few minutes ago, she was targeting and taunting Maglor and Fingon with reckless abandon.

(He thought they were bonding!!!)

I played a game once where the uno reverse card would mean they could swap hands with their victim. So we would collect as much cards we can just so slam down a reverse card. We switch our hoard to two or three cards. It was so fun and so annoying. I hated those guys who suggested that. But imagine Caranthir suggesting this, fully intending to win. Except that he forgot one thing. That is Maedhros' luck. He was reminded of this when Mae suddenly dropped him 57 cards in a reverse card. And that was the one game where Mae won. Caranthir learnt his lesson and did not sit next to Mae next time he does this.

Maglor would claim that he doesnt care about winning but he is this close to punching Caranthir when he made that Rule. Celegorm is that little shit who swaps cards with him and he would put down a reverse to get them back. This would go on and on over the course of the game and it pisses Maglor off because he only does it to him!

Curufin wears a Crown of Bragging Rights every time he wins. They hate him so much for this.

(Feanor has similar luck in this game as Meadhros and Curufin had Nerdanel's so she doesn't play much unless Feanor does too. Because they have their own bets and deals between only the two of them. Feanor is just so deep into denial that he never learns no matter how many times he loses to her. He thinks he just keeps being distracted being so in love with her that he doesn't notice the cards piling up and no, she's not going against this theory of his. Their children know better tho.)

Just finished a swimming competition with no thoughts head empty. Just Feanorions playing Scrabble and bickering.

[blueflipflops]

@backgroundelf babe, that would be even MORE chaotic. No matter how they start the game, it would always end up with them taking it too seriously. They would somehow make it into a high stakes strategy game only not so slightly veering into warcraft. It'd be Silmarillion 2.0. No one really dies but theres always someone who gets close to being stabbed (Moryo who is being a very stingy banker and surprisingly, Maedhros who commits tax frauds—) and someone flips the table at least twice a game. No one has more stronger opinions on property law than Feanorions.

I desperately would love love LOVE to introduce Feanorians to a Quenyan version of Scrabble and watch them explode

I imagine that they'd make a bigger board to be able to fit 10-12 players and it would go on for days. With bickerings on the validity of words and with Moryo as the score keeper who can't quite keep his mouth shut and joins in on the bickering on wheter the word choice is "so fucking stupid, Tyelko. It should be banned on principle. What the fuck-". Each of the Feanorion just keeps on making up new rules especially after the Ambarussa makes up new words and argues for a whole hour and a half that it "totally counts as a word. Trust us, Nelyo-", that time Meadhros tried to pass a whole ass sentence as a "word", when Feanor took almost 12+ hours to think up an appropriate word to put down and etc.

Because come on guys. Ñoldor? "Those with great knowledge"? Feanor? The guy who created a whole ass writing system (the Tengwar)? His family? Who is just as intense and competitive as him? His step-siblings who would no doubt love an excuse to throw down without getting into trouble with the Valar or Finwë? Scrabble is THE BEST for Ñoldor Family Game Night(s).

I can just imagine Feanor playing scrabble with Finwë, Indis, Nolofinwë, Arafinwë, Írimë and Findis. Oh boyy. Findis is keeping score but everyone keeps trying to justify how they should have a higher score that word. Nolo and Feanor are shouting. Accusing each other for cheating. Ara made a throwaway joke once and suddenly BOTH his brothers are shouting at him. Indis saw the chaos and wanted to put away the game but was immediately stopped. Finwë is just happy to spend time with his family. Írimë is, in fact, the one who is cheating
