Yes, yes, if I were a Gondolindrim I would be super pissed at him… But I'm not, so I can be controversial and say that I kinda love Maeglin T_T

turgon, king of gondolin.

POV: you’re celebrimbor explaining why you’d be a wonderful asset to the city the king would rather chew his own arm off than let you reside in.

Too soon?

"But Maeglin prospered and grew great among the Gondolindrim, praised by all, and high in the favour of Turgon; for if he would learn eagerly and swiftly all that he might, he had much also to teach."

Turgon of Gondolin.

Maeglin for intea ✨ handsome prince with a twilight soul

My favourite thing about Turgon are the seven increasingly spectacular gates he built along the entrance to his city that no one’s supposed to find anyway.

Broke: Gondolin was a serious, conservative, prudish city.

Woke: The Gondolindrim were stuck in one city for 400-ish years with no Morgoth threatening them and basically nothing do to. If anyone in Middle-Earth was entertaining themselves with festivals and ragers, it was them. We're talking drunken moshpits, people getting thrown into fountains, endless romantic intrigue between most of the Lords, the whole nine yards.

Bespoke: The Gondolindrim were party animals but they all agreed that what happens in Gondolin stays in Gondolin and never talked about the parties after the fall; which is why Gondolin gets a reputation for being so serious and boring. Most of the Gondolindrim, and especially Turgon, think this is hilarious.

Hmmm it’s been a year, I finally finished the artwork of Glorfindel hehe

Eöl tries to kill Maeglin. Art by Giovanni Calore

Then Eöl looked into the eyes of King Turgon, and he was not daunted, but stood long without word or movement while a still silence fell upon the hall; and Aredhel was afraid, knowing that he was perilous. Suddenly, swift as serpent, he seized a javelin that he held hid beneath his cloak and cast it at Maeglin, crying:

'The second choice I take and for my son also! You shall not hold what is mine!'

But Aredhel sprang before the dart, and it smote her in the shoulder; and Eöl was overborne by many and set in bonds, and led away, while others tended Aredhel. But Maeglin looking upon his father was silent.

Lord of the Fountains; Ecthelion & Lord of the House of the Golden Flower; Laurefindelë

Ægthelion & Glorfindel; Warden of the Great Gate and Chief of the Golden Flower.

First day of not having school!! Celebrated by drawing these two creatures in armor and battle hair😌😌

One of them likes ornaments a little more than practicality, the other likes sharp objects. Both die.

☀︎Glorfindel and Asfaloth

"Glorfindel was among the mightiest Elves, and once the lord of the house of the Golden Flower in Gondolin. After a valiant death in the First Age, he was re-embodied by the Valar and returned to Middle-earth millennia afterward."

Can you all guess that I like elves or do I need to make more elf related art? In any case, do expect more of it. Anyhow, I am a day late to wish Tolkien a happy birthday, so I hope this can serve as an apology! Happy Tolkien day! Also first post of 2025, woooho

Truthfully though, this did not turn out as I wanted it to, but I still like it. I'll do better next time

✨Glorfindel Lord of the House of the Golden Flower ✨

Character study of an iconic and glorious elf blondie from Tolkien's epic story about Gondolin❤️ Having a lot of headcanons about him and Gondolin ❤️, what are yours?

[nulelirie]

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*)

Raw sketch of Glorfindel. The helmet totally inspired by Alan Lee's illustration. The armor piece was inspired by flower petals, I think it looks ugly. But however this is just the beginning, I'm still trying to invent a more believable-looking armor. More updates soon
