#rohan OCs

[from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras]

Do you have many Rohirrim OCs? Or any, for that matter? If possible, I'd love to know more about them 😊

I do! While my favorite hobby is to write for little known/underappreciated canon Rohirrim (which means they function much like OCs because Tolkien gave us so little), I do also create my own people along the way. There are a *bunch* in my current Guthláf and Wídfara fic, mostly background friends and family of my main (canon) guys. But my most substantive Rohirrim OCs are women, since Tolkien gave us almost none of them.

Éomer was married to Mereliss in my world (my one real canon deviation!). She was Elfhelm’s daughter and was Éomer’s best friend from the time he moved to Edoras as a boy. They got married after the war, and (since he learned a thing or two about not putting women in a box) she wielded real power as queen. I’ve got nothing against Lothíriel and enjoy a bunch of interpretations of her, but I’ve always wanted to see Éomer with a strong Rohirrim woman – I feel like Rohan shouldn’t need to keep going to Gondor to get queens for themselves!

Théodred was engaged to Eadlin at the time of his death. She was a flower merchant from Aldburg who didn’t even meet Théodred until they were both in their late 30s. She came to live with him during their engagement (they were both old enough to be over being told what to do), and she was a real ride-or-die for him – if she ever thought you had hurt him in any way, she’d have nothing to do with you ever again. She was the first to connect the dots that Gríma was involved in Théodred’s death, and he had her imprisoned as a result. Éomer got her out, but she left Edoras embittered toward Théoden and unwilling to hang around where her memories of Théodred were most vivid and painful.

Bryttalif was married to Háma. She was a midwife in Edoras whose father was a big deal in the king’s guards. When Háma and Brytta met, she was pregnant herself and unmarried (an unhappy story she does not like to go into) so she was a bit of a scandalous figure. But she and Háma hit it off right away, as he immediately recognized her kindness and gentle spirit. He adopted her daughter as his own when they got married, and they had another on the way when he was killed at Helm’s Deep. Brytta was there (midwives are good at pain management and triaging bleeding problems, so she was asked to come along to help deal with the wounded), but was prevented from seeing his dead body because it had been so desecrated. She was crushed but slowly put herself back together, raised their kids, and kept working, and eventually she delivered Éomer and Mereliss’s first baby.

Anyone who’s interested can find more about them all in my pinned post — the stories are organized by main character, and you can find each of these ladies heavily featured in the Éomer, Théodred and Háma fics that are there.

Thank you for asking!!! People like you who show interest in and support OCs are so valuable to the fandom!!! ♥️

RTTS OC Sketch Comic - Communication Error

In which Maristel realizes they've been sorely misreading Hearts' facial expressions and body language.

---

Translation notes - Maristel's Portugese Panel 8: The Rant- "Caralho você realmente é um idiota! Elu falou várias, VÁRIAS vezes para chamar elu de Hearts, e você ficou chamando elu de Langntha por causa de sua obsessão ridícula em pronunciar coisas certinhas**! Você deixou elu desconfortável o tempo todo Porra! Como se elu não fosse bem-vindo."

"Fuck* you really are an idiot! They told you several, SEVERAL times to call them Hearts, and you kept calling them Langntha because of your ridiculous obsession with pronouncing things just right! This entire time you’ve been making xem uncomfortable, Fuck! As if they’re unwelcome! "

*literal translation is penis, but usage and severity wise it’s closer to fuck

**certinhas - right in every single detail

Panel 10: Slang- Mané - a slang term for idiot, specifically implying someone who makes plans that they believe are infallible despite reality

Silly little doodle of Big Vampire Lady and her Husband™

(One of her husbands. Slay.)

[shoshotechi]

A pivotal scene in Hroswyn's life. Her husband's gone to war on the Pelennor Fields, Aldburg is full of largely defenceless refugees, and now the horizon is glowing red from enemy fires... indeed, wouldn't it be too easy if the evil only concentrated their efforts on Minas Tirith like everyone else?  So she dusts off her hauberk, rallies all the women that are able and ready to use a weapon, equips them with whatever rusty chainmail and dented helmet she can find, and sets up to defend the city and all the people in it from the coming storm...

A dwarf oc. I really like drawing her.

[nocturnalfandomdoodles]

Hello! I think you should doodle a King of Hyrule and Link’s parent/uncle/grandparent design. Everyone does their own Zelda and Link, but I haven’t seen many draw their own important side characters!

OKAY I WAS ACTUALLY SO EXCITED FOR THIS REQUEST THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH

SO EXCITED IN FACT I STARTED A HIGHER EFFORT DOODLE!! SORRY FOR THE HOLD UP!!! This alone took almost 2 hours total (much more time than I usually have for doodling in a day), but rest assured I WILL be coloring it!

I think Rohan and Arn could've been friends if things had gone differently :')

Fic Preview Friday (On a Saturday)

Thanks to @emyn-arnens for the tag! I’ve also been tagged in recent weeks by others when I might not have had something to share (or not in the right format for those specific tag games) and so this is just gonna be the stand in for my response to those, too. So thank you @eilinelsghost @fishing4stars and @lady-of-ithilien . This is sort of cheating, but it’s what I’ve got!

In any event, here’s a little bit of the fic that I am writing/not writing about the staff of Meduseld working together to oppose Gríma. Here, the royal seamstress Teágwine has been caught spying on Gríma and is in prison, where she awaits execution on his orders unless her friends can get Théodred to intervene on her behalf. And she’s being visited by Helswith, who works in the kitchen.

**********

“I would ask for your news, except I can read it on your face already.” Her eyes were glassy and lips drawn tight, but she straightened her spine and squared her shoulders. “Prince Théodred said no.”

“He never had a chance to say yes.” It was Helswith’s own voice that she heard, but it came out thin and unnaturally high. “He’s dead.”

Teágwine made a small noise, more than a breath but less than a gasp, and her grip on the bars in front of her tightened. But after a moment’s pause, she nodded and dropped her hands, all the tension gone from her face and posture. “That’s it, then. He’s gone to the halls of his fathers, and tomorrow I will go to mine.”

“Don’t say that.” This resigned acceptance was worse than anything else Helswith had imagined. “We can’t just give up. I won’t do it. I won’t just sit here and watch Wormtongue snuff you out like a candle.”

“But I am a candle, Helly. We all are, and life is full of gusts and gales. There’s always a risk that our flame will go out.” She reached through the bars to put a hand on Helswith’s arm. Her fingers were hot despite the icy chill of the cell. “But if we’ve made the right choices in life, we’ll have other candles around us. And then even if ours goes out, there will still be light in the darkness.”

I feel like the tag games have been especially active lately, and I hate to over tag (do I overthink things? Why do you ask?). No pressure tags to @cilil @meluiloth @eurydices-dreams
