WIP it good Wednesday

Various open tags, making this an open tag, y'all know the drill.

In which the sons of Eärendil and Elwing arrive on Balar and are introduced to their heritage weapons:

Celebrimbor leads them deep into the citadel of Balar. The door he stops at is unmarked, yet a helmed guard stands sentinel. She greets their cousin with a nod as he begins searching his many pockets. “You’ll need arms. Proper arms, that you can actually wield.” A shake of his head. “I’ve had ample reasons to question my uncles’ judgement over the years, but giving you Narsil? It took Maedhros a century to build up the muscles to use it one-handed. Ah!” He’s finally found the keys, and manages to fit them into the lock on only the second jab. Elrond glances at the greatsword slung over his twin’s back, too long to wear at the hip. “He called it weregild. I think he just didn’t want to look at it anymore.” They know the sword too well. They first saw it piercing through Evranin’s heart, glimmering in flames, raining blood on their faces.

Celebrimbor takes out the bow next, running his hand down the recurve. “This was wrought by Tuilann of Nargothrond, from the trunk of a, hmm. My plant-lore is ever lacking.” Elros reaches for the other end, feels the grain and lacquer. “Hickory!” “Aye, hickory! A single tree, grown for this purpose over decades, on the shore of Tarn Aeluin.” Celebrimbor continues tracing down the bow’s spine. “It was felled and the bow crafted when the House of Beor first came to that land. It was gifted by—” He pauses, finger upon the sigil of Beor carved above the arrow-rest. “Ooohoho, is that so?” His eyes suddenly flick back to them, remembering his audience. “Well. That’s not quite my story to tell. It was gifted by…the sons of Finarfin to the lords of the House, and given to Bregor son of Boromir, then the foremost commander of his people. From him it passed to his son Barahir, and then to Beren, who was hunting with it when his father and companions were slain. It served him well on his quest, but afterwards was left with his law-father, for Camlost could use it no more. In Menegroth’s armory it remained until a young maiden sought to arm herself and venture forth after her family.

Lingerie for our wedding night (we are getting married)

I'm wearing this with our matching elrond bra (a bra with 10 of elrond's faces printed on each tit) and we will wear nothing but that on our honeymoon

First off, I love the combination of realism and "come on, we are talking about magic" when speculating on what Glamdring would have looked like, but I do have a crucial point to make here.

We can definitively say that Glamdring is a straight blade (more like the aforementioned spathion) and is not curved in any way (like a katana).

How can we deduce this?

By taking a look at Egalmoth's weaponry.

Egalmoth favored his bow slightly over his sword, and "his sword was bent (none of the other Noldoli carried curved swords)", according to the Tolkien Gateway (Referencing The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, "III. The Fall of Gondolin").

Basically, no one in Gondolin was carrying around anything that remotely resembled a katana, besides Elgamoth.

Anyway, I am personally in love with the idea of Glamdring being a magically oversized spathion.

If we consider that Glamdring was made for Turgon… who is in the running for Tallest Elf, a title with steep competition that must put him at 8ft+… well, I’m not a weapon expert, but Glamdring must be long as hell?

And Gandalf is tall… but we’re never told that he in his Istari form is freakishly tall amongst men.

So I kind of wonder… was it a shortsword for Turgon, or does Gandalf wielding it just look slightly comical?

Anime style huge sword on an old man.

redesigning young!ixchel for the DA4 worldstate where she lives... She did drink the poison (and was definitely dead) before being resuscitated so her eyes are milky (thanks @plisuu).

I'll clean this up and paint her portrait too later.

I've always had Ixchel take up a one handed sword after Trespasser, and in some AUs it's a different type of sword -- in this one, why the fuck wouldn't I give her HADHAFANG yknow????

so yeah

- hair loose, no bangs

- gold and coral jewelry**

- lotus patterns

- hadhafang because why not

- elden ring half armor lol

- milky eyes because she was DEADDDDD

Ixchel in the DPDF timeline has had a lot of blue/silver/turqoise imagery in her design, despite how much I love her in gold. her being blue/silver there, and then gold/coral/red here, has MEANINGGGGG

because in my elvhenan AU dirthamen is blue/silver/turquoise and falon'din is gold/coral/red.... and here she's walking dead, she's got renewed vigor, she's heated, she's got the vitality of coral and the red of sacrifice and the gold of triumph ahhhhh and she was DEAD.... AHHHHHH it just works so well on so many levels thanks to everyone who reminded me of that symbolism

Help me choose a sword!

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a decent fortune and an extensive library, must be in want of a sword.

It’s time, y’all. I’m debt-free, financially stable, and no longer have anyone in the house to tell me “don’t waste your money on that!”

So I’m buying a sword for my birthday.

I’ve settled on a reproduction prop sword from LOTR as my first. The question is, which one?

I decided against Sting and Anduril, not because I dislike them, but I just don’t vibe with them the same way as some of the other options. I also decided against Arwen’s sword, Hadhafang, because it doesn’t come with a wall mount.

Now, with that lengthy preamble out of the way…

Visual examples under the cut.
