"Mano po."
Pagmamano (Tagalog) - "honouring-gesture;" a sign of respect towards elders
A continuation of sorts, of this other drawing I made of the Feänorians, which was roughly inspired by Filipino culture. I originally planned on completing this for @nolofinweanweek, specifically the first prompt about how Fingolfin and Feänor's families got along, but life got in the way and I didn't finish it in time. More background/my long rambles under the cut:
Pagmamano - touching the back of an elder's hand on one's forehead - is not restricted to family, but it's usually done in the context of elder family members. I have many memories of attending family reunions and being told to follow the other kids to "mano po" a grandfather, aunt, or uncle. While Elves don't have elderly relatives, per se, I thought this image was too fun not to draw. Also, I love envisioning Feänor as that cool uncle who gives the most amazing gifts but like, the kids are intimidated by him, so they have to be told (and supervised) by their parents to line up and greet him properly. Fingolfin's just standing there making sure his kids all greet their uncle. (Maedhros, presumably having already finished his greetings, is sidetracking Fingon.)
All this to say, I think that these guys didn't have the perfect relationship. But. You can't convince me Finwë didn't get the whole family together from time to time on some sort of family reunion camping trip. And Feänor just has to begrudgingly tolerate it because he can't say no to his dad. While the kids, obviously, have a great time.
#are any of the characters' ages canon accurate?? probably not. i did 0 amount of research#in my mind maedhros is quite a bit older than the other kids though i don't know if there's a canon basis for that#but it's more Fun This Way!! so#drawing this type of silm fanart is my guilty pleasure#it took me 6 hours to color this thing#and i don't regret it at all#i love spending too much time overanalyzing the feanor fingolfin finarfin relationship and developing headcanons that will#eventually make me sad Because Canon Happened#sorry if i don't tag all the characters because it can't fit under the tag limit lol#the kids in front:#argon#aredhel#fingon#maedhros#turgon#on the left there is:#finarfin#(with sons)#(feanor's kids in the boat. you can probably tell which one is with the giant dog and which one is lugging around a guitar)#grandpa finwe with galadriel#on the right: anaire and nerdanel making fun of everyone else#uhhh the ambarussa are somewhere there (i forgot to draw them shh)#and finally of course you have the Dads#feanor#fingolfin#about to start the spicy drama in the fam reunion#clarisse doodles#tolkien#the silmarillion#elves

Arakáno | the high chieftain
Day 2: Exile - Arrival to Beleriand | Fingon | Argon | Elenwë for @nolofinweanweek
#nolofinweanweek#nolofinweanweek2023#the silmarillion#argon#arakano#my art#tolkien art#he’s a fascinating character all the more for how little tolkien actually wrote about him#since he seems to exist just to die#but he was noted as the tallest of the siblings and a fierce warrior and then died practically the moment he stepped foot in beleriand#there’s an au in my brain that he leaves mandos and with all of his family gone he ends up bonding with his cousin’s ex#and slowly falling for her#and perhaps amarie feels the same#finrod willingly left her behind and she knows she’s not going to get him back until he dies#perhaps it’s time for her to move on as well

I think Argon died at Alqualonde.
When the second host of the Noldor reaches Beleriand, they have a lot of grief. Those who died on the Grinding Ice are tragic, but easier to talk about. They died in pain and fear, but they were trying only to fulfill a promise and to seek a new home. Mourning Elenwe can be done in public, with no discussion of fault or her having deserved it.
Those who died fighting their own kin are harder though, especially as Fingolfin doesn't want to start diplomacy with new neighbors by mentioning such an evil deed. He's also too proud though to accept sympathy under false pretenses, even for the death of his son. Fingolfin couldn't stand listening to Cirdan say platitudes about the sea and Ulmo's mercy to drowned sailors, no matter how well meaning. So for a while, he simply doesn't mention his youngest son at all. Those who knew Argon know how he died; those who never met him think Fingolfin only has two sons.
("Two sons at least thous hast to honour thy words" - Fingolfin's own voice echoes bitterly in his head.)
Argon was bold, and headstrong. He saw a battle and charged into it, right alongside his big brother. So tall, he made an easy target. Maybe it was his own foolishness that got him killed, but not malice. He didn't even know why they was fighting.
Slowly, rumors begin to spread among the Sindar. They say the second host fought a battle before the rising of the Sun, nearly on the edge of the Sea. The host took losses, but did not let it deter them. Fingolfin's own son died, surrounded by enemies, a victim of his own bravery.
The battle was against orcs because who else would elves be fighting?
(Maglor is a storyteller first and foremost. A public gift to Fingolfin would be full of symbolism and double meaning between the two kings, but he can grant his uncle space to mourn.)
#silmarillion#silm#my writing#argon#alqulonde#first kinslaying#fingolfin#maglor#mourning#grief#also doylistically the first Kinslaying is the only one without named characters dying and I think that lessens the impact for readers#it makes it easy to just run past and say it's not a big deal#not like if Olwe had a named son who died and we could all tag fanfic about#and I think one of the Noldor attackers dying makes it interesting#Oh huh I just checked tolkiengateway and it looks like JIRT also had Argon die in Alqualonde in one draft. didn't know that

*looks into middle distance* i’ve been on permanent customer service voice for the past three days
#true apologies to anyone who has unintentionally hit up the Jack Argon Service Hotline#my first big major internal audit and it's been 8 hours of a guy standing over my shoulder asking me little questions about every step#of the process constantly. how do you know it does that. what happens if that goes wrong. where is the backup for this#where are the manufacturers for this. where is the certificate. how do you calibrate this. bring me the files from three weeks ago#the sop has it worded this way. why#but we have passed and that is all and one of the biologists got a ding and we didn't SO

Okay I am going to completely re-write my maedhros/fingolfin fic. I realized the story would make more sense if it were a fem!maedhros au instead of a trans!maedhros au since I’ve made her craft fiber arts in that fic and it would make a perfect foil to Finwë/Míriel as Fingolfin was said to be most like his father in looks. I read a hc that fem!maedhros would’ve looked exactly like her grandmother but with red hair and I’m going to run with that concept. Imagine the angst that Finwë would feel seeing his first wife’s likeness marrying and having many children with his likeness. The angst that Feanor would feel seeing his eldest, the heir to the throne, marrying his half-brother, whom he was ambivalent towards (before melkor). The conflict he must feel towards supporting his only daughter in her marriage and his own conflicting feelings towards Indis’s children and how that might translate to his interactions with his grandchildren later on.
The og fic was real grimdark like warhammer 40k levels of grimdark and I don’t vibe with that anymore so I’m going to make a fix-it fic without all the kinslaying and betrayal but maybe keeping some elements of the start of the first age just so there’s angst in this fic. I don’t think I know how to write fluff fics anymore lmao. The last fluff fic I’ve written was 6 years ago and that still was angst with a happy ending. Maybe this re-write will turn into that too since I believe that without the first kinslaying the doom of the Noldor would not be proclaimed.
Thinking about how if Maitimo was born slightly before Nolofinwë and then went on to marry him and have kids, Feanor wouldn’t be so arson happy at Losgar. Maybe having grandchildren that shared blood with Indis may have made him less antagonistic towards them and made him more or less ignore them unless it was Nolofinwe who is the husband of his baby girl and must be glared at™️.
Thinking of maybe including some of my more “grimdark” plot lines into this new fic like maedhros still being held captive but it’s her son rescuing her instead of her cousin but make it more gut wrenching that her life was then traded for her youngest sons life or something. The og fic included the burning of the ships and Argons death when they set foot on Beleriland and she didn’t know that her baby died until she was recovered enough to ask for him only to find out that he died and breaking down from it like no torture from Angband ever managed to do. So many possibilities. I have so much time on my hands I’m going to write as much as possible just so I can read the fics I want to read lmao.
#the silmarillion#feanor#finwe#indis#miriel#maedhros#argon#fingon#fingolfin#Nolofinwë#Maitimo#fem!maedhros au#already started translating the other fic before I had this galaxy brained take#all my fics are ‘how much worse can I make the Silmarils?’ and I can’t wait to find out

I feel like because I'm so very biased towards Maedhros out of the finweans, people assume Fingon is my favourite Nolofinwion. They (my nonexistent jury of who is the coolest) are incorrect!
It's Argon.
Is there like any notable personality for him in the silm? No.
Does he survive until my favourite era? No.
Is he really tall and also dies in a batshit way? YES! and that is 80% of my judgement metric.
My version of Argon is mostly headcannon but I need y'all to know that in my mind this guy was straight up the most impulsive person in the whole family. Worse than Fingon. Worse than Feanor! He was considered the bad influence of the family because he has no brain to mouth filter and he is creatively insulting even when he doesn't mean to be. He's actually a pretty sweet person, he's just also got the worst case of ADHD this side of Cuiviénen and as a kid he was too cute to scold into good behaviour. So now he just says things recreationally and no one but him enjoys it. I often write Maedhros and Fingolfin as foils and i thoroughly believe Argon is Feanor's. They're too alike to get along but different enough in their approach that there's a level of respect there.
Also his mastery in Valinor was debate. Because cage match wrestling wasn't invented yet.
#he'll get his chance to suplex someone later#he spends the entirety of his death drinking beer in mandos and cheering on all the wars#when everyone is reborn again he ends up setting the stage for Feanorions to return by having no filter#and straight up being like 'yeah they shouldn't have done war crimes about it but i don't know why anyone is surprised?'#'like we all knew they were gonna do it if i were dior i woulda just let em have the rock'#' 'It was my moms!' boo hoo man it was their dads too seriously its just a fucking rock and Clearly they wanted it pretty bad'#'that said im punching uncle Feefee in the nuts the second he gets out the helcaraxe sucked icy balls'#the silmarillion#Argon#arakano

4t2 Lovestruck Expansion Pack
A fruit of our labour with @platinumaspiration (featuring moral support and useful advice from @lordcrumps 😀) is finally here!
Key features:
138 objects 24 beddings 7 seasonal plants 9 windows 6 doors 10 fences 2 arches 2 columns 69 floors 199 walls
Smoothed out meshes, no shine (except when necessary), quarter tile placeable;
All garden plants are seasonal, have undersides and all original recolors;
Fences are included but don’t show in the collection file because it’s not possible to add them.
Everything that doesn't look like deco and is meant to function - is functional (all lights light up; fans are animated; surfaces have slots; doors, windows and curtains have diagonal versions, book pile is functional, costume trunk is a wardrobe etc etc...);
Thank's to Nikki's perseverance, the guitar is functional too (requires Argon's Custom Instruments mod, included in the archive);
Picnic table was cloned from an object by Inge Jones. In order for sims to sit on the bench, you need either my edited version of Inge's Hidden Picnic Chair (called Tvickiesims_ijHiddenPicnicChair, included in the archive) or the original one from the link above). You'll also need her other mod called "IsChairABooth" (included in the archive).
My edit of Inge Jones' Hidden Picnic Chair was cleaned of some resources, has a new mesh, doesn't contain textures, is easier to grab and click, costs 0 (you already payed for the table) and becomes invisible in live mode (inspired by @lamare-sims's Invisible Kitchen Surface);
Wall fan and water tower reduce bills;
Armchairs and sofas have morphs (Nikki has my eternal gratitude💗);
Heart bed (Vibromatic Nuevo) vibrates and lights up 😏, all thanks to Nikki;
Basic Breakup Double Bed was turned into a blanket (works with @lamare-sims's Unmade Bed mod);
Most wallpapers were cut in half to preserve their patterns (thus their quantity). These walls have clear numbering system and will appear close to each other in catalog;
Romance Rendezvous Bar Back's mirror has wonky reflection. It can't be fixed;
Everything is separated between two collection files - one for buy mode and the other for build mode;
@lordcrumps' shadow file is required for the shadows to work (included, delete if you already have one copy in your downloads folder).
Buy mode:
Build mode:
Hidden Picnic Chair placement for the picnic table (like a normal chair basically, no cheats needed):
Objects we didn't like enough to bother with (not converted):
Compressed, meshes merged with recolors, clearly labelled, picture and collection files are included.
🫶💐❤️Download at SFS❤️💐🫶
UPDATE 19/08/2024
Edited Ash tree and Thunderclap to drop leaves in autumn, smoothed Thunderclap's trunk. Fixed Tri Aviary LoveSymphony Sculpture's one recolor.
UPDATE 20/08/2024
The Flame Of Love Candlestick and Sequence Of Love Candle Bunch had a small shadow issue, it's now fixed.
UPDATE 22/08/2024
Fixed Lovestruck Fountain's price (was set to 0).
