To Elrond - an illuminated manuscript of silvan linguistics

(@silvercrowned)

Elrond opened the cover to the first illuminated letter, quickly recognising Cuilpantiel’s art style. He huffed, amused. Who else would have such ready access to manuals of Silvan linguistics but a scribe regularly going to the Greenwood? No doubt, Celebr��an had funded the materials and perhaps part of the labour, while Cuilpantiel had done the copying and art.

[thegreatstrongbow]

“I will pray that they come.” He would pray that they would be his. That no one would know. That… that they did not come too soon. All of them were young and strong. What was the rush? Let them enjoy each other awhile longer, before the pretending became impossible.

 He curled his fingers through her hair gently, drinking in the sight of her, saying with his gaze what he could not admit aloud. I love you.

And wasn’t that a reminder - that this arrangement was at the will of her husband, for Pandora to bear him an heir without him having to put the heir in her himself when he didn’t actually desire her. Barely more than arranging to have a healthy mare mounted and bred.

Pandora reached out for Beleg, wanting to cuddle him. As she moved to press herself close to him, she thought. Hostia had accused her of being barren - and she had suspected it herself, since even before she and Mei Mun began poisoning him, Pandora had not conceived. And even after Pandora conceived, it would still only be responsible for them to keep trying until Pandora bore at least a few healthy sons, just to be safe.

Chances were, she would have Beleg in her bed for a while yet.

“I need to conceive sons, and healthy sons,” she said slowly, pressed skin to skin with Beleg, “and gods alone know how long that may take.”

"I'm sorry." Ídheglil said to Éowyn, her face twisted in unhappiness and discomfort, as she fiddled - needlessly - with her knife and quiver-belt.

And so the lords had willed, and so it would be done. Ídheglil had demanded to be put to use rather than sent to hide, as Aragorn's initial stress-induced protectiveness wanted at first. Her cumulative decades in the training yard had been deemed only slightly less valuable than her centuries in the Halls of Healing and apothecary workrooms, and the bitter compromise between the competing needs had been to order her to heal while bearing arms and borrowed mail; to be ready to step outside and hold back an onslaught at a moment's notice.

It went without saying that she would have had to carry a blade regardless, if only to end the suffering of those who couldn't be saved without drawing too much on her strength - or to kill her patients or herself before they could be captured.

She barely wanted to carry a blade at all.

But she knew that strategically, the choice to put a blade in the scholar's hands and keep it from the shieldmaiden's made sense. One was a daughter of civil service, another one of the remaining heirs of a king. Ídheglil was worthless symbolically and in leading; Éowyn was too valuable alive as a leader.

"... at least I could get the lords to call some of the women to arms," Ídheglil said weakly, looking away.

Just not you.

(For Éowyn - remember that thing we discussed about PanBel being on the Fellowship, and Aragorn trying to get Pan to hide during the Battle of Helm's Deep?)

“They would have us die here in the dark, as though we are not called to valour as they are.”

The walls of Helm’s Deep were thick, but their enemy was a wizard, and no walls would hold against the might of magic. Her bitterness ran deeper than the roots of the rock. Éowyn clasped her hand on her sword-hilt under her cloak. She would not be unarmed when the armies of the Enemy came, no matter what her uncle decreed.

It wasn’t fair: this elf woman seemed half as strong as her, a scholar, a healer. She would have been allowed to fight, and not Éowyn, a shield-maiden and daughter of warriors?

And these women here, washerwomen and farmers and homesteader’s: did they not have the same strength of the men of Rohan? Only the elderly and the children need remain, in her eyes. Why waste a single sword arm?

“It matters not what you say. My king has issued his command and I will not disobey.”

This time.

[pcsitivibee]

positivity for cuilpantielthesleepyscribe : @cuilpantielthesleepyscribe is such an amazing writer. She has such a depth of knowledge of both canon and history and an incredible attention to detail that makes everything she writes feel so realistic. Her writing always invokes so much emotion. I love writing with her.

(First Age AU)

Cuilpantiel had never accounted herself particularly vain or insecure, and after four children and Beleg's continued attentions after each one she had felt reasonably secure in Beleg's attraction, changed body or not.

But it was hard not to feel self-conscious after all that had happened. Lord Elrond and the various healers overseeing her recovery had finally cleared her and Beleg for - strenuous activities, including marital ones, as they delicately put it - and her own body had agreed: physically, she had more than recovered enough to do this safely and comfortably.

While thousands of years of medical advancements had saved her life, nothing could stop the brutal scarring. Lord Elrond and his apothecaries and healers had ensured the scars healed as cleanly as possible. Still, Cuilpantiel had come to hate the sight of the raised, angry scars that now wrapped around her left thigh, across her belly, and clear up to her right ribs. She'd tried not to let Beleg see them, insisted on either a healing attendant, one of her and Beleg's children or grandchildren, or herself changing the dressings and applying the scar reduction salve whenever possible. Maybe it wouldn't scar much, and by the time Beleg saw her naked again, it wouldn't be such a difference.

There was only so much that could be done though, and she didn’t want to deny Beleg - or herself - any longer.

She broke away from the heated kiss she'd been sharing with Beleg. "Can we keep my shift and stockings on?" she begged, low and soft, and lied, "It's a little cold tonight."

Nevermind that cold had never been a complaint, once. But if they kept it on, then they could still share this without Beleg seeing the scarring for a while longer. Even after all these years and a few new scars, he was still largely the same handsome ellon she'd married, and she didn’t want to present him with the damage the boar had done to her body.

"Is something wrong?"

The cold had never bothered either of them before. Their bedroom was warm enough, and it was hardly the dead of winter.

And more than anything, he knew her. He had married her twice over; he knew her in this life and his first. When she lied to him, he could tell.

His hand rested on her thigh, playing with the hem of his night gown. "You are not growing shy on me, are you, my love?"

What Flower are You?

Rose

You are a hopeless romantic, driven by your heart in everything you do. You likely love classic movies or music, and find inspiration in poetry and lyrics. You dream of living within a story, day dreaming of soulmates and fate. The mom friend, you are a Type A planner who probably has a bit of anxiety. A bit of a night owl, you have always been fascinated with exploring old European cities and imagining the stories that have lived within their streets. You prefer the city over the country, and try to see the best in people. But you have built up your walls high, you do not trust easily. Don't forget to step down from your day dreams and let people prove you wrong my love, it's okay to shed your thorns and let others enjoy your scent

Human: Deal.

Fey: Very well. When you return home tonight, your mother will be in pristine health again. It will be like she never fell ill at all. Even the memory of her suffering will fade…

Human: Thank you so much. She means everything to me.

Fey: I know, I know. Let’s hope the price wasn’t too much for you after all… Only time will tell.

Human: So, when do we start?

Fey: …If I may ask you to elaborate?

Human: You said you wanted my firstborn.

Fey: Yes? And you agreed?

Human: Yeah, so, when do we start?

Fey:

Fey, blushing: Ah.

A little Elven baby toddled around the bushes of the Children's Gardens of Imladris, dark eyes huge and doll clutched reassuringly to herself as she took in the sights. Cuilpantiel was only very young, barely a toddler by human reckoning, and naturally timid. The world and the noisier, more energetic children happily screeching and playing in the central, main areas of the Gardens was overwhelming and frightening still.

Her Nana had set her loose to wander and play for a while in the Gardens, trying to encourage some independent (and very carefully safe) exploration while she herself took the opportunity to relax for a few minutes. Bellethiel had watched her daughter totter off curiously towards another cluster of toddlers, and assured of her daughter's safety and that everyone watched everyone's children in the Gardens, sat back in the shade to enjoy her book.

Eventually the little girl's wandering took her to a quieter end of the Gardens, and her eyes were soon caught by some brightly-coloured roses. She knew what those were, her doll was Lady Merilwen and she was the best.

These roses were so soft, and smelled so nice! She followed the bushes excitedly, a delighted little giggle bubbling out as she saw red, white, yellow, colours she didn't know, all the colours!

She rounded a corner and instantly stopped short, surprised by the strange adult there. She was turned away, doing something with the roses.

But her hair was so pretty! Shiny and a colour she didn't know the name of yet, the same colour as the shiny things her Nana and Ada wore.

Still, she hung back, shy but obviously enraptured by the strange elleth's hair.

Celebrían enjoyed sitting in the children’s garden. She loved elflings, and enjoyed watching them play. When the children’s garden had first opened, she hoped that it would quell her desire of another child - but it had the opposite effect.

She had chosen today to tend to her roses that grew in the back part of the garden. To Elrond’s eternal amusement, she always insisted on tending to the roses herself.

Celebrían heard laughter nearby, and smiled at the sound. It came closer, until it stopped. Feeling eyes on her, she turned.

“Hello there, little one.” She smiled at the elfling, and offered her a rose.

🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️🖊️

Send me a “🖊+an OC“ and I will talk about that OC! It can be a headcanon, a fun fact, a small paragraph of backstory- anything!Alternatively, send in just a “🖊“ and I will talk about any one of my OCs at random!

You sendin’ 20 pencils? you gettin’ 20 ocs. You asked for this.

1. Sileves

I love Sileves, I love her big generous heart and how eagerly she accepts friends of her children and her husband as honorary family members. I wish I could talk more about her job as a healer because she takes such immense pride in it and she is what I would want any nurse or doctor to be; so caring and patient and kind.

2. Methenor

Methenor is a soft boi hidden under layers of icy indifference, sarcasm and dry etiquette and I love it. He cares for his family so much ;-; And like I feel incredibly bad for him because no wonder he’s cold as ice when pretty much his entire family left him in Rivendell; His parents sailed, his older sister is who knows where, his younger brother ran for Lothlorien and now his only son left him too.

3. Malgelir

Chirpy social butterfly with a small bit of a “ME FIRST” complex towards her siblings. Malgelir always wanted to get married and have a child, and the fact that she did so before her siblings does make her prouder than she probably should be. Thankfully this isnt out of pure malicious intent because I don’t think she ever had an evil thought in her life.

She also cares so much about her hubby and her son ;-; i cry

4. Rhoscthel

Fun fact I aint got a single clue about what goes into fashion design and yet here Rhoscthel is being a tailor. Send help. Plz. I’m making this up as I go and I just hope nobody notices I’m bluffing my way through anything that takes half a glance at her skill as a tailor.

I also wish I knew how people Actually Flirt TM because Rhos is supposed to be a charming she-elf with bargaining powers that could almost rival Caranthir’s but idk anything about either flirting or haggling. The woes of an introvert trying to play a socially savvy extrovert TM

5. Amathel

With Amathel I’ve been contemplating switching her social status of engaged to married but Amathel kind of has concerns and worries about the act of getting married so idk how to really.. change her status? Like should I just change it or drabble it or..

Like it’s not that she doesnt want to be married to Lagoron, she loves him very dearly, but there’s certain expectations that comes with having a wedding especially as a highly valued member of the Rivendell guard.

Idk I kinda want to dive more into the complex nature of her always wanting to be on top and number one in her class despite the fact that she has a lot of… performance anxiety, I guess you could call it?

She doesnt like to be put on the spot or even necessarily in the spotlight even though she has an ambitious drive and is always looking to improve as a guard.

6. Innith

With Innith I’m kinda having the opposite problem I do with Rhoscthel. I don’t get to use her much because she’s a shy, introverted scholar who would really only want to interact with coworkers and patrons of the library in Rivendell; and unfortunately there’s not a lot of those muses around.

this is very much me asking you to throw Pan at her sometimes I think they could be fun together plz

I’m also a bit sad the one ship I had for her has long since sailed away. F/F ships are so hard to come by.

7. Nethel

You would think I have a similar problem with Nethel like I do with Innith but since Nethel is such a drastically different character I actually dont find it hard to find interactions for her lol. People seem to be rather drawn to her even though she’s brutally blunt. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Nethel is a lot like Feanor just minus the genius linguistic part. 

Plus while Nethel is cooped up in her workshop most of the time she does need to come out and tend to her biological needs like eating, bathing, sleeping, much to her dismay as she has little patience for small talk.

Aside from that I think most of the muns I toss her at are aware that she’s a deeply insecure person under all that brutal facade, and people generally seem to have a little more patience with a character like that? like idk, just something I noticed. 

8. Miston

Honestly without Miston this blog wouldnt exist and I wouldn’t be here to gush about all my characters, so needless to say Miston is incredibly important to me. I feel like he has grown as a character a lot since the beginning of this blog but that he has also remained true to the description I give him in his about section. He is still a character who doesn’t like sharing his feelings and rather deflect them, ignore them entirely or distract you with conversations about literally anything else.

Miston is very near and dear to my heart.

9. Eredhon

Baby. Precious soft child. Eredhon is such a sweetheart and it’s truly thanks to a lot of brainstorming with @legolasgoldy that he has been crawling out of his shell because for quite a while I myself didnt even know all that much about Eredhon.

He is a soft, gentle soul with a lot of deep running emotions and his social anxiety can definitely play cruel tricks on him, but with the right support system he blossoms into a very sweet and devoted friend who will always try to help you through any emotional problems. He’s also a lot more emotionally intelligent than I originally gave him credit for. He’s usually paired with social butterflies (see Malgelir) because he does get those type of characters to kind of.. relent the walls they build around themselves and let him see the emotional struggles they tend to ignore

He’ll also never apologises for feeling his emotions. He’ll apologize for snapping, for raising his voice, for letting his anxiety drive him up a wall and for anything that deserves an apology, but he won’t apologize for feeling sad or anxious or happy or in need of comfort.

10. Calithilon

I’ve been thinking about aging canon Cali up to at least a talkative elfling because honestly because he is so young in canon I haven’t really gotten a chance to use him all that effectively in the main storyline.

Most of Cali’s development comes from modern aus with @hclliish where he’s a teen, dating her Sleipnir (another precious child, just not one of mine lol)Cali takes after his mom in looks and unfortunately for him after his dad in personality, making him a rather shy and quiet person with a lot of insecurities. Being born to two singers makes him a natural singer as well, and his voice is higher in tone than that of his father.

Despite being an anxious teen (because when is puberty ever kind) he does find a lot of comfort in his parents unconditional love for him. They’re a very solid parents-child unit tbh.

11. Lagoron

Another character that I don’t get to use all that much, which is unfortunate because I find Lagoron an incredibly funny and interesting character. He’s a very un-elvish elf, in fact he’s more a hobbit in an elven disguise. While also being a guard, he is an entirely different type than Amathel; where Amathel yearns to be the best and the strongest, Lagoron is a team player who believes in the strength of numbers and strong bonds between guards to drag them through the most difficult situations; and that hasn’t exactly made him the top performer of the class. 

He is however truly the kind of person you want on your team, and in a fight he’s surprisingly endurant and likely to exhaust his opponent by focusing on dodging their power attacks rather than wasting his energy in fighting back.

Always has food on him and will offer it to anyone he feels like stricking up a friendly conversation with. 10/10 good friend.

12. Hinnoron

Hinnoron is definitely more of the tradtional elf. He’s radiant, and ethereal, and pleasant to be around. He also has a natural calmness about him and a certain kind of wisdom. Y’know, typical Tolkien Elf TM stuff.

Hinnoron gets interesting when you dive into his deeper relationships. His relationship with his eldest sister is on a very low pit, and the one he has with Methenor has definitely taken some blows. When Gelwenil left to follow the stars, Methenor got rather clingy towards Hinnoron, who felt suffocated in return.

Hinnoron left for Lothlorien, and to this day regrets that he abandoned Methenor when Methenor was clearly struggling with the departure of their parents and their sister. While they have mended their bond since, this kind of guilt does seem to creep into his relationships with Haldir ( @thehiddenhero ) and Oropher ( @oropherrrrr ) He often doesn’t tell them when things about the relationship upset him and bottles his emotions up to an unhealthy degree, all because he fears of upsetting their feelings or even damaging the image they have of him if he’s not the perfect, ethereal and unconditionally supportive partner. For someone who gives love so easily and unconditionally, he seems to have a hard time believing that the love he receives doesn’t come with the condition that he has to be a perfect lover or it’ll be revoked.

Someone plz teach him that he’s allowed to have needs and that he’s allowed to have those needs tended to.

13. Gelwenil

Ah yes. The lost one. Well no, not lost, she knows exactly where she’s going but nobody else does. Gelwenil honestly never meant to upset Methenor or Hinnoron when she left to follow the stars. Like Methenor was definitely struggling when his parents left for Valinor, but in retrospect Gelwenil left several years after that. Maybe not enough for him to have healed and moved on, but I don’t blame her for thinking that with his wife, children and their youngest brother Methenor would have enough of a support net to justify her wanting to explore the skies.

Gelwenil is an avid believer in the power of Varda, and also deeply respects Tilion and Arien. Any type of celestial Maia can be expected to be treated with the deepest respect from her.

Out of all my characters Gelwenil deserves the most TLC tbh I feel like she’s underdeveloped compared to everyone else because I dont use her a lot.

14. Faerveren

Uuuugh I miss Faerveren so much. Mistons second cousin twice removed, and probably the only person to ever leave him flabbergasted and when Miston is the voice of reason in a duo, you know somethings up.

Faerveren is also an interesting character because with her I wanted to present the idea of people assuming you’re always emotionally fine as long as you’re physically strong enough to be virtually invincible.

15. Nengelon

Local edition of the “I’m so fucking done with this shit I don’t get paid enough to deal with” club, together with Feren and Lindir. Nengelon tends to fall into an elven variety of Welsh when he runs upset with the leader of the Sabaid elves, and just about no one knows what he’s saying.

There’s also the implication that he basically ran away from the Riunnag (waterelves, maybe related to the Teleri through distant blood but sources (ie me) dont confirm that yet so its just rumors) tribe he belonged to because of his secret romantic ties to said leader, but Nengelon doesn’t speak of his romantic outings to anyone so it’s just a rumor.

16. Braigon

Ah, big, bulky, burly, 7 foot something Sabaid leader Braigon. Rides a grizzly bear as a warmount, wields a gigantic twohanded battle axe, and is an absolute terror on the battlefield… when he bothers to get his tribe of warrior travelers involved. Braigon tends to stroll around like he owns the place, because not many dare to defy this mountain of an elf.

Maybe thats why people are so bewildered when 5′9 sized Nengelon curses him out on his bullshit in some incomprehensible tongue they don’t know.

Braigon is actually a pretty solid leader of a tribe where elves can pretty much do as they please as long as they do their job as either warrior or provider (finding food and other supplies) outstandingly. The Sabaids aren’t a big tribe, there’s only a couple hundred of them, but they make for fantastic allies… but only if you can manage to convince Braigon to risk any of his people in any given war; and he usually isn’t concerned with fighting the battles of others for them without a good reason. 

 17. Bereneth

Bereneth is an interesting case. An accident between a Sinda lady and a Noldo refugee, at a time when those relationships weren’t exactly accepted after the reign of destruction left by the line of Finwe. (I like to believe thats something that took a generation or two for elves to get over dont @ me.)

Because of this, Bereneth was relentlessly bullied to the point where as soon as the oppertunity rose, her mother left for then newly settled Rivendell. Being under the rule of Elrond, she figured her daughter would be safe there. Bereneth remained there and bore three children to Carandolon and sailed to Valinor when their daughter in law was pregnant with her first child

18. Carandolon

Chieftain of a squadron while Greenwood was under the rule of Oropher, Carandolon was a bright eyed and wanderlust filled soul, born to two fullblooded Silvan elves. When on a mission to Rivendell, where he had to accompany a diplomat, he saw Bereneth and for him it was love at first sight.

When the mission was over and he returned to Greenwood, he immediately requested to be dismissed from his chieftain status and to be allowed to move and live to Rivendell.

A reckless and bold move, and it did take him a while to woo Bereneth, but they ultimately fell in love, got married, and had three children. He sailed with his wife when their daughter in law was pregnant with her first child

19. Nemiron

The missing link that connects Miston to the line of Finwe. Nemiron is the bastard son of Írimë and an unknown father of Vanyarin descent. Nemiron lost complete vision in his right eye when the healer tent he worked at got raided by the enemy in that war; and he threw himself as a shield between the blade and the wounded soldier it was aiming for.

During the war, he was usually found in the company of either Finrod or Edrahil, as he needed help to adjust to his new lack of depth perception. Sometimes during that same war, he left to settle in Lothlorien, where he met the weaver apprentice Dillothés. They married and moved to Rivendell as a position for an experienced healer was open there, and they had their family there.

Nemiron remained in Rivendell, despite yearning to sail, for the sake of his only daughter, and he ultimately sailed for Valinor when she was pregnant with her third child.

I havent decided if the power of Valinor heals Nemiron’s injury, but if it does (and I doubt it), it would do so only partially. His right eye will never be 100% functional.

20. Dillothés

The third and last born daughter of her parents, Dillothés worked as a weaver’s apprentice in Lothlorien before moving up to becoming a weaver of her own, selling her selfmade fabrics to tailors and others interested and making a comfortable living out of it

She became infatuated with Nemiron, who was often found in the library studying Lothlorien native herbs to aid in his small healer practice. After she learned of his injury she never backed away from him once, and helps and supports him to the best of her ability. This remains the case when they went to Valinor and whether or not he partially heals from his injury
