He tries to talk to some swans. They don’t respond.

Encounters a wild Voronwë.

SURPRISE CAMEO: Who is that tall Man with his long sword drawn, running about screaming ‘Finduilas’? The absolute madman.

“But Elemmakil, you know me! I’m your bro!” “No dice, Voronwë. Looks like you’ve got another bro now. We can’t let you in.”

Elemmakil lets them in.

Ecthelion: Why is there a mysterious cloaked figure at my gate?

Tuor: Move aside, downer. What the messenger of the Lord of Water wants, the messenger of the Lord of Waters gets.

Yes, he did actually refer to himself in third person.

Wait, it gets better.

The mysterious cloak in question was given to him by Ulmo. This whole time, he has been using it to cover up the hauberk from Vinyamar.

You know, the one thing that proves he is who he says he is.

Well he waits until he has passed all seven of Turgon’s extravagant gates, at which point ‘his cloak fell down’. Which I can only assume is the fancy way of saying ‘Tuor flung it from himself like he was Gandalf revealing his new upgrade’.

Tolkien being like “and THEN Tuor—” who has already been raised by elves, escaped thraldom, and lived as a wild outlaw for some enrichment “—took his harp which he carries with him ALWAYS and also he’s quite skilled :3” like. I know you love your guy but have you ever heard of less is more.

Doors to Nargothrond, Glaurung, and Túrin in fancy elvish armor ♥ Another picture for "the Children of Húrin metal LP covers series", I made a sketch right after I finished drawing the first one ....shall I draw more of these ? :3

not a braincell between them. Only tragedy.

P.s. I realized that I inadvertently took a shit tonne of inspiration from @huntseric 's drawing of Beleg. Love their art, honestly it's so pretty, go show it some love! HUNTSERIC - Beleg Strongbow 🍂 (tumblr.com)

Here they are in their cute fancy Nargothrond outfits. For Orodreth this is just a normal every day look but I don't think Turin wears it very often. He's impressed how light and breezy it is.

“Hail Gurthang! No lord or loyalty dost thou know, save the hand that wieldeth thee. From no blood wilt thou shrink. Wilt thou therefore take Túrin Turambar, wilt thou slay me swiftly?¨ And from the blade rang a cold voice in answer: ¨Yea, I will drink thy blood gladly, that so I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and the blood of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly.”

The Death of Beleg Me and @chechula were listening to The Children of Húrin read by Christopher Lee. His dramatic voice fits perfectly 🐲💖

(*covering my ears and furiously imagining a universe where Túrin is happy*) Alternate timeline where Beren and Lúthien come back to visit Doriath after the quest for the Silmaril. Here, Túrin twisted his ankle in the woods and Lúthien is carrying him home. (Beren is giving moral support.)

guys i love elu thingol a lot. i love the fact that he was good enough for a maia to fall in love with him, and that theirs is the first and only canon union of an ainu and one of the children. i love the fact that his people adored him so much that they refused paradise and the direct protection of literal demiurges because he wouldn't be there with them. i love that even though he's incredibly proud, ancient, experienced, and war-hardened, he actually tries to change his behavior and do better when he sees the error in his ways. i love that he is the first and only elf king in history to adopt a human as his own child
