beautiful scenes from Imladris I hadn't seen before

Imladris

[youmisguidedmartyr]

What if you were born during a WAR and your dad became a STAR and your mum became a BIRD and your people were KILLED and then you and your twin were KIDNAPPED and then your kidnappers either DIED or fucked off to the BEACH and then your twin chose a MORTAL LIFE and then you became a HERALD and then your King got given a really cool RING but there was ANOTHER WAR because SAURON WAS ACTUALLY the RING GUY and then your King DIES and then your cousin/wife gets ATTACKED and then she SAILS and then your Foster son falls in LOVE with your DAUGHTER and then there's ANOTHER FUCKING WAR because SAURON IS BACK and then your daughter also chooses a MORTAL fucking LIFE and then you just FUCK OFF TOO but your twin sons didn't make up their MINDS

elrond through the ages based on one glorious panel from chapter 95 of Black Butler (hopefully i got that right....). in the context of this sequence, i always thought it was sad to think abt how many people elrond has lost throughout his life alongside how remarkable he is to remain "as kind as summer" still by the time the hobbit rolls around 🥺

i redrew elrond's poses based on ciel's in the original panels BUT i forgot what page exactly the original panel sequence is... however!! if you scroll down to the middle half of this blog post you can find the original reference pic :D warning that it includes heavy spoilers for the black butler manga so u could just alternatively google 'ciel phantomhive running' and it'd probably be one of the first results that pop up haha

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.

Celebrian & Arwen

I think she´s underrated... like a lot, she has such a good character story.

[tripadvisor-said-fivestar-mordor]

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t remember in the Silmarillion or the Lord of the Rings any characters who fell out of love (like mutual love not unrequited crushes (and unless death (or presumed death) separated them)). Arwen and Aragorn remained together till death did them part, and so did Beren and Lúthien. Elrond never replaced Celebrían, Celeborn followed Galadriel wherever she went, Eärendil chose immortality and remained by Elwing’s side, Idril stayed with Tuor, I’m not talking about Nimrodel and Amroth, and Gorlim betrayed everyone for Eilinel.

I just feel like that says a lot about Tolkien’s view on love / Edith

elrond and celebrían💫

Here’s my art for my TRSB collab with @oatmealcraisin

The fic tied to Elrond’s portrait gallery will be revealed in a few days and I can’t wait to reblog the link then so you can all enjoy their work!

Here’s the individual portraits in a close-up:

Happy Valentines to Them specifically ❤️❤️❤️

[cottoncandiescupcakes]

'Elves are gay'

Yes but NOTHING is as gay. I repeat, nothing is as gay as Celeborn chosing to not go to the undying lands WITH HIS WIFE GALADRIEL, who instead went with Elrond but instead

Get this

Deciding to hang out in the woods WITH KING THRANDUIL for literal years

Sorry but what. Your wife is like 'I am going to Valinor darling please join me so we can be reunited with our daughter. Elrond is also coming to be with his wife'

But he's like, sorry entire family, I'm going to hang out in the woods with King Thranduil to merge our Kingdoms together, not like through marrying our sons and daughters but just two middle-aged men frolicking in the meadows and then presumably leaving on the last ship to Valinor together

????????????????????????????? All the 'cheating' Galadriel did doesn't compare to this honestly that's fully insane lol also this is actually canon as in Tolkien wrote this

[cheesy-cryptid]

Elrond and Celebrían

[starsofarda]

But boy oh boy the tension it must have been when Celebrian told her mother Galadriel that she fell in love with Elrond and Elrond reciprocated her feelings.

Like, POV Celebrian: Elrond as a perfectly mannered Elf, noble and knowledgeable, the love of her life *heart eyes*

POV Galadriel: Elrond WHO. Is that a Noldorian battle braid that I see, specifically Cousin Thrice Removed Maedhros Feanorian Branded? Do I spot a Feanorian star on his clothes? Is he FUCKING SPEAKING QUENYA. Also, he is being absolutely feral. WHY THE FUCK IS HE SINGING LIKE FUCKING MAGLOR. Why is he hanging out with Gil-Galad and Celebrimbor. Daughter. There are many other Elves for you, why him.

And so on.

I get that then Elrond must have been charming enough to placate his future MIL, but still. First impressions, huh?

“…and it was then that Elrond first saw Celebrían, and loved her, though he said nothing of it.”

- Unfinished Tales, History of Galadriel and Celeborn.

“Galadriel, however, saw plenty, and so went to the kinslayer cousin she had hidden away in her closet, saying, Makalaurë, you’re not going to believe this, to which he replied, It can’t be that bad. Galadriel, weary with the weight of centuries, passed him a large glass of wine and said, It is like Maitimo and Findekano all over again, to which he said, with great horror, Oh no, and then both she and Maglor drank deeply at the memories. They spoke at length and between the two of them a plan was formed.

Celeborn listened, though he held his tongue, as he had promised to pretend ignorance in the matter of secret-kinslayer cousins. King Gil-Galad was also aware of this meeting, but Elrond’s heart-sickness had led to the rise of unfinished paperwork, and so he was very happy to ignore Maglor’s existence in favor of getting the two young elves together.

The next few days saw the plan unfold, though with it came the loss of several pots of tea, two very nice china cups, a tunic, a window, three spoons, and a priceless statue. By the end of the seventh day, Gil-Galad had even more paperwork than before and came to two horrifying realizations. One, that none of Finwë’s grandchildren actually knew anything about admitting one’s emotions in a normal manner, and two, he was going to have to solve the problem of Elrond and Celebrían himself.”
