Day #102 - Dance

Trying to draw more dynamic poses :)

[radjerda]

Sometimes your mind wanders while drawing characters hugging and you wonder: "What if Glorfindel ended up back in Valinor again, talked his way into going back to Middle Earth a second time, and then he decided to smuggle Ecthelion back with him?"

This was followed up with: "It would be funny if they were really bad at it."

Close-ups of the doodles and what I like to call them:

"The Hug that Started it All"

2. "A Brainstorming Session"

3. "Cloak Attempt #1 - In Which Glorfindel Realizes He Needs More Cloak"

4. "Cloak Attempt #2 - Sure, Ecthelion Can Crouch-Walk Out of Valinor"

Ahhh first post on Tumblr (*nervous chuckles*), a Glorthelion fan art for one of my favorite talented writers @a-tehta !

After reading the amazing fic "Sparring" on my bday (yes I'm the same birthday girl in the comment lol), I just couldn't stop imagining their first night on the ship & how great it would feel again to be able to snuggle together after centuries separation😍! So I just have to draw it down (*chuckles again*)

SSP: Sparring

I have been back in the fandom for a few months now. Time to write smut again! (Note: I am lying. There is no smut in this chapter, just, er, romantic conversation. But Chapter Two is in beta, and coming in a day or two.)

Anyway, the fic describes the reunion of two re-embodied Balrog Slayers, which takes place on a ship heading back to Middle-earth.

A snippet:

“Another thing I remember,” Glorfindel said casually, “about being re-embodied, I mean, is that it took some time for my… physical needs… to return. Even my appetite–hence all those exotic foods. And, like I mentioned, a month passed before I started feeling restless and in need of exercise, the way I usually do. As for desire, well… feeling that again took the best part of a year.”

“Interesting,” said Ecthelion. His lips had tightened again. “That does not match my experience.”

Glorfindel gave him an encouraging smile. “Well, it has not been a year, yet.”

“No. But what I meant is that my bodily desires returned just four days after my rebirth, pretty much exactly when this ship departed.”

Maybe….but just maybe it shows a little that he's the king's nephew 🤔😁… So much love for little mole ❤️

Throwback Thursday

Feeling a little grim today. So was Glorfindel in Tears Unnumbered from July of 2022. Here's a snippet:

The kingdoms of the Noldor have become as the shale, he thinks: fractured fragments, brittle as glass, plunging into the abyss. He hurls another sheet of stone. The largest pieces make a magnificent smash when they land, but he is too high up to hear the blows. Glorfindel wonders if he would shatter in the same spectacular way.

Post-Nirnaeth blues in Gondolin, with foreshadowing, oh dear.

@zealouswerewolfcollector @imakemywings @starspray @thescrapwitch @polutrope @jouissants any old gems that you would like to share?

[glorf1ndel]

congratulations! please, glorfindel and/or ecthelion? :3c

Thank you! Here, I wrote a sappy little Glorfindel/Ecthelion marriage fic for you. <3

Green and Yellow

On ordinary days, Ecthelion only ever wore silver, blue, or black. One would be hard-pressed to find him in any other color. His friends joked that he only wore the colors of the moon and night sky. But today was no ordinary day. It was Ecthelion's wedding day, and he was clothed in... Green and yellow.

"Can't I just wear white?" He had asked Glorfindel, his future husband. White was a popular color at weddings, after all. Yet Gondolin had a custom that when Elves of different houses married, they wore each others' house colors to their wedding. Glorfindel found this delightful, but he looked good in any color. By contrast, yellow and green washed out Ecthelion's skin and made him look like a wilting daisy. Of course, Glorfindel had begged, pleaded, and promised to wear silver and blue himself, so Ecthelion had agreed to honor Glorfindel's house colors.

And now the time had come for them to walk down the aisle together. That was another tradition among the Gondolindrim, one that Ecthelion appreciated. Instead of one spouse waiting for another at the end of the aisle, they would stride toward the officiant together. Ecthelion and Glorfindel had planned the ceremony such that they would climb a hill together, to find the wedding party and their officiant, King Turgon, waiting for them at the top. So Ecthelion met Glorfindel alone at the bottom of the hill. Glorfindel looked stunning, wearing a silver suit, with his hair tied up in a blue bow.

What Ecthelion did not expect was Glorfindel's reaction to his outfit, a long yellow and green robe with an elegant train. Suddenly, Glorfindel clasped his hands to his mouth and began to sob.

“That bad?” Ecthelion quipped.

“What? No!” Glorfindel laughed a little, wiping his eyes. “You just look beautiful.”

Ecthelion could not help the smile that crept onto his face.

“I always knew you were a charmer.”

Glorfindel reached for his hand.

“Let’s get married?” He asked, as if there were a question in Ecthelion’s mind. But the Lord of the Fountain had no doubts. Even this green and yellow outfit was all right, if it meant he could hold Glorfindel’s hand for the rest of their lives.

“Let’s get married.”

Ecthelion is absolutely star struck anytime Glorfindel so much as breathes in his direction
