My second submission for this year's @tolkienrsb (slide 85) in collab with @polutrope! Elrond (the one in white) finds Maglor wandering on the beach, and they have a little reunion :''')
The fic's link is here, but it won't be made public until Sept 6, so just keep an eye out! XD

I sometimes think about Fingolfin being the sole Uncle looking after all his nephews/niece/kids. Like, there’s 16 children. Before taking the Helcaraxë he no doubt promised Finarfin that he would take care of them. And I feel like once he found out about Fëanor, and especially saw the state of Maedhros, he silently promised his half brother he’d do his best to look after them too. Not that he wasn’t going to anyway.
But the burden that must have been, especially with how volatile and independant all these kids are. Oh they might be grown. But he’ll never see them as such. Even now he remembers Nelyo’s birth and how the baby would toddle after him, crying when it was time to leave. Curvo going through all his mechanical devices, Turukano right behind him as Fingolfin explained where each came from and listened to the children tell him all about the workings. Carnistir carefully running little hands over the embroidery of his cloak, Anairë laughing quietly and explaining the techniques that went into it. Ambarussa and all the chaos they caused, enough so that Fëanor and Nerdanel would dump them at his house for days at a time, usually a couple of brothers tagging along. Tyelko and Irissë wrestling in the mud, neither group of parents knowing what to do when they trudged in, a sticky trail behind them.
Findekáno’s duets with Makalaurë, the little musician quietly asking to play before his uncle and cousin to make sure it was perfect before he showed his father. Finno, Nelyo, and Findarato encouraging him with whoops, Fingolfin and Anairë applauding with wide smiles at the end as he was swarmed by his cousins and brother. The four’s ‘secret’ sleepovers whenever they were in the same place. Aikanaro and Angamaitë raiding his kitchens, Fingolfin joining in with a finger on his lips, helping steal pastries in the middle of the night. Artanis insisting she could join in whatever game his boys were playing, Ireth backing her with a scowl until they were let in. Little Orodreth and his own Arakano, friends since birth. The screams of delight whenever they saw each other.
Despite everything, or maybe because of everything, he doesn’t know. All of them are now his children. He couldn’t stop the Fëanorions from taking the most dangerous lands because he had no argument to give. He can’t stop Turno and Ingo from making hidden kingdoms and taking Ireth and Artaresto with them. He couldn’t save little Arakano. He can’t stop Artanis hiding in Doriath, although he’s grateful at least one of his kids is safe… even if that safety comes with disowning the rest of her family.
He can’t even protect little Tyelpë and Itarillë who never asked for any of this.
So when the Dagor Bragollach comes and he hears Aegnor and Angrod are definitely dead, Curufin, Celegorm, and Celebrimbor might as well be for the trail of bodies leading to Doriath and the mass murder at the Girdle, Maglor’s land has been burned so far beyond recognition, they can’t even *find* bodies, Turgon, Idril, and Aredhel he wouldn’t even know if they were killed, and he hasn’t heard from Finrod in months-
He can’t.
So he makes a last ditch attempt because maybe, just maybe, he can make their battle the slightest bit easier. Give his kids if any of them survive a weakness to exploit. A slight advantage to turn the tables…
A stab to the foot does the trick. Morgoth will be limping on that one for millennia.
He hopes his brothers can forgive him.

imladris lads :D it started off as a few doodles of gildor bc of a great prompt i received from an anon a few weeks ago, and then spiralled into something else entirely bc i havent really taken the time to explore much of anything imladris-related? i really like the lindir-is-maglor concept so heres my take on how it couldve happened haha
as always, credit to Cartoon Network for the sparkly pink BG
thanks so much for the ask!! here's my take on gildor :DD i really like the way anon asked the question and it was what inspired me to draw finrod in the mix too strangely enough?? the vibes are similar 🤭
#silmarillion#silm#maglor#elrond#glorfindel#erestor#gildor inglorion#i looove the scrapped idea of gildor being finrods son but alas.... the retcon..... 'twas such a perfect setup too :'(((#im not sure what the statistics of elf adoption are but from what ive seen its not too common? i like to think it did happen however#so i like to imagine finrod adopted a young orphaned gildor and raised him as his own hehe#opens up a lot of doors for familial doubts esp after finrod reembodies and presumably has his own kids with amarie?#prob smthn along the lines of gildor expecting to be set aside bc hes not his blood son or whatever when he arrives in valinor...#anyways reembodied glorfindel's hair keeps changing lengths bc.... yeah HAHAHA#arwen has many many uncles !!!#lindir#celebrian#elladan#elrohir#arwen undomiel#imladris#rivendell#the silmarillion#elves#silm art#tolkien#rin replies#tolkien fanart#sakasakart#silmarillion comic#finrod

realising what I actually need from Suzanne Collins is just a multi-volume panem history book
#which INCLUDES pre-dark days/origins of panem#because i know she has it written somewhere#i want to know everything about panem#and how it came to be#lotr appendices/silmarillion but make it panem#the hunger games#thg#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#tbosas#that and a character study of haymitch#because whilst katniss's major character development happended during her games#i think haymitch's happened afterwards with what happened to his family/girlfriend and mentoring

Gil-galad Variations, featuring all the gil galad theories i've encountered.
#silm#silmarillion#gil galad#gil galad son of plothole#<- best tag lol#personally i like the maglor theory#son of lalwen is probably my second favorite?#also that would make him the 16th known finwean grandkid#the aegnor/andreth peredhel variant is interesting#also i feel like when everyone meets him in valinor/the halls finrod would just look at aegnor like :/#finrod: 'if you were just going to ignroe my whole speech you could have at least told me so i could get birthday gifts for the kid!'#the russingon one looks very much like nerdanel lol#both the maedhros ones' hair is *just* dark enough to not cause a diplomatic incident#the elured/elurin one is really funny#like. hes 0% noldor not even related to finwe at all. like. theyre descended from different cuvienen families. they literally are 0% relate#he was raised by cirdan who is also 0% noldor#but he is somehow a better king of the noldor than like 90% of the previous ones#even funnier if hes Just A Guy#did they accidentally switch the real finwean baby? did they just grab a random kid and go 'oh well close enough'? who knows?#i think princess-faelivrin has a FAQ about the leading version of fin-galad (gil galad being finduilas)

Problems Elrond was expecting in Aman:
Trying to make a new home after leaving Rivendell behind
Dealing with Valinorean elves who are very weird about him being part human and part Maia
Avoiding being crowned again (this one isn't just a Valinor problem)
Trying to stop Bilbo from causing problems
Trying to stop Galadriel from causing problems
People attempting to drag him into the clusterfuck that is Valinorean politics
Having to grow a bunch of his herbs himself because the plants aren't native to Valinor
Problems Elrond was not expecting in Aman:
A sudden abundance of doting parents, grandparents, and other ancestors
(He's gotten very used to being the person who takes care of everyone else)
(Look it's not his fault he's forgotten how to react to parental affection normally)
(It's been a really long time...)
#silmarillion#silm headcanons#valinor#elrond#elrond peredhel#look he's had a rough time in Middle Earth#none of Elrond's grandparents/other ancestors were around by the time he was born#He'd lost two sets of parents by young adulthood#The weight of the world on his shoulders for thousands of years#let him have lots of family in Valinor#as a treat#he deserves so much

elrond explicitly preferring his sindarin heritage over his noldorin one and continuing in his own sons the "el-" prefix naming tradition that dior began in honor of thingol... sindar stans we stay winning
#it's so satisfying#also dior had twin sons and elrond has twin sons!!!! both of whom they use the “el-” prefix when naming! love this fucking family#thingol luthien dior haunting the narrative >>>>>>#elrond#elrond peredhel#dior#dior eluchil#dior eluchíl#elu thingol#thingol#elwe singollo#tolkien tag#tolkien#the silmarillion#the silm#silm#lord of the rings#lotr#jrr tolkien

Finrod and Maedhros in the halls or post embodiment talking about Sauron.
Not about the torture or the agony they went through, more like gossiping on how much of a peacock he was, strutting around and bragging about how beautiful he is.
If you came across them in the street you’d think they’re talking about one of those overdressed Tirion nobles, but then you hear “I preferred his torture to his speeches because dear Eru those were a whole new level of pain-“
“Heard all of two before being mauled. Definitely preferred the werewolf.”
Celebrimbor sometimes joins these sessions but he’s got the additional years of having known Annatar and it’s therapeutic to talk about how self absorbed he was to people who really understand. Safe to say Maedhros and Finrod sombrely commiserate the kid on dealing with that for centuries.
“How did you two become friends??”
“I think his vanity numbed my brain.”
“That’s fair.”
#there’s a surprising amount of Celebrimbor on this blog for someone who barely wrote about him until three months ago#not that I’m complaining. I think he’s in my top five faves#Celebrimbor#Tyelpë#tyelperinquar#telperinquar#Maedhros#Maitimo#Nelyafinwë#Finrod#findarato#ingoldo#Finrod felagund#Sauron#Annatar#silmarillion#tolkien#silm#silm headcanons#feanorians#ITHOF Writes#Finwëan family dynamics

-sighs-
your friendly reminder that "maedhros and maglor took elrond and elros with the intent to ransom them for the silmaril" is fanon, not canon
it's a fun idea to play with sometimes, and i've seen it done well, but the actual published text states "maglor took pity on them and cherished them" not "maglor thought, 'whoopie! finally a potentially bloodless way to get our hands on a silmaril,' and started sending fruitless letters to the king about it"
you can't make accurate judgements about a character's.... well. character, when you are mixing up fanon and canon events in your analysis
#im not looking to start a fight#but#sometimes..... things that are fanon......... need to be acknowledged as fanon#something something your works cannot truly be transformative if you dont know what rules you're breaking#silm meta#silmarillion#maglor#kidnap family

My second submission for @fall-for-tolkien's Scribbles and Drabbles event, featuring Annael, Rian, and baby Tuor! I don't often see content with these three, so I thought I'd give them some spotlight! Drawing baby Tuor was lots of fun, he's just so squishy cute! XD
