@sauroff you are so kind! I didn't notice the laces were missing, but you're such a dedicated artist that you sent them along. Thank you, my friend! I love this easter art.

Does Mairon...
...have magic hair? At least it's very pretty. It can probably combust too.
...have magic hands? Definitely. People were set on fire, and he's a sorcerer.
...have animals talking to him? He's the lord of werewolves. Nuff said.
Has Mairon...
...been poisoned? Not that we know of, though he would certainly claim one or two particularly bad cooks did this to him.
...been cursed? Yes, but mostly with good looks, charm and his amazing talents✨
...been kidnapped or enslaved? Yes. The Númenor incident.
...made a deal with an underwater sea-witch? Not that specifically, but he has a deal with the devil.
...ever had true love's kiss? Yes, because everyone is in love with him.
...have daddy issues? Probably. Eru seems to do that to people a lot.
Does Mairon also not have a mother? Nope, and none of the Ainur do!
Do people assume that all of Mairon's problems got solved because a big, strong man showed up? Yes, and that man actually was a prince too (though Mairon himself would certainly say Melkor caused a lot of problems than he solved...)
Conclusion: Mairon is a Disney princess

Hello! ~✨
This off topic, so feel free to skip.
I'm home/dog sitting for my aunt for a few days, and I can't bring my tablet with me. I'm still spending some time at home and working on commissions. But, just to keep myself busy, I'm also offering traditional sketches like this for 1 Ko-fi just pencil, 2 ko-fi with colors or inked. Styles are the same than my usual commissions, so you choose. These would be more like requests tho, so I'd take a bit more freedom with them.
Anyway, if you want any, feel free to send me a message!
Thank you 💖

(one of those is actually a sketch for a digital drawing, but shhhh. I haven't started it yet)

Ok but. If elves didn't menstruate, imagine their shock after learning that humans do.
Finrod about Andreth: Poor mortal thing, she doesn't understand that the Death of her people is a gift given by Eru only to them :((
Galadriel: That woman bled through her vagina every single month for like 30 years, Finrod. I think she has her good fucking reasons to not to trust Eru's designs
Because I am on the rack of my own hormones, I'm fairly sure Tolkien never considered the matter and I've always been curious about this:

My people are outside this door, sons of Feanor. I have half a mind to open it - or perhaps you’ll take the other exit?

I love it when Elrond is portrayed as someone who is a little bit incomprehensible to most of the elves at first. Not even just because he's a half-elf, but because he reminds them all of so many other people, and that layering can be kind of jarring.
He sings beautifully, with a voice that sounds like no elf or man, and it reminds many of the Sindar of Luthien. It reminds some of the Noldor of someone else, another singer with raven-dark hair and starry gray eyes.
The braids he does his hair in– and he always keeps it braided at first, because letting it run loose is another thing that makes people whisper of Luthien– are in the traditional Noldor style. The survivors of Gondolin love that; Turgon always wore his hair in classical styles too. The other part of the House of Finwe that clung to traditional braids goes unmentioned. But everyone knows.
And he was clearly taught about court manners; taught to be gracious and charming, and a very good listener. The elf who could have taught Elrond those things is usually skipped over entirely, in favor of those reminiscing about Idril's graceful poise or Melian's endless patience.
He looks very much like Luthien, but there is a particular Finwean sharpness in his facial structure; something that makes him look a lot like Fingolfin, as well. Fingolfin looked very much like his father. And his older brother.
His smile is just like Earendil's (whose smile is just like Tuor's), and his strange, birdlike laugh is from Elwing. He fights and writes with his left hand– but then, so did Earendil, because while all elves are right-handed, not all humans or half-elves are. He eats no meat– just like Beren, they say, but the way Elrond tells it the choice had nothing to do with that history. There is ainuric power in him and something very human in the set of his shoulders. The flowers grow around any place he stays long enough. He gets sick in a way no elf, and certainly no maia, ever would. His accent is odd, and archaic, and changes noticeably when he's too tired to obscure it. His mannerisms are a mixture of about twelve people, almost all of whom are dead, and several of whom are not spoken of by the time he shows up in Gil-Galad's camp.
And the reflections of Elrond unsettle a lot of people; because one moment they see a fallen hero or loved one, and the next they see the person that took them. Or perhaps someone else, that they never knew at all. There is reverence and fear and uncertainty. It's messy.
Elrond himself is coming to peace with this by the War of Wrath. There is love in carrying the parts of your ancestors with you, even when they aren't around any more. And he knows better than anyone that he is always himself, first and foremost. Still, it takes everyone else a while to stop seeing a ghost and start seeing Elrond.

I think Regent Maglor should get to kick Celegorm's ass. In a hand-to-hand fight, no magic, no Song. Just physically overpower his much larger younger brother in front of his soldiers.
As a treat.

Míriel Þerindë, mother of Feanor
@argonapricot this is for you!! thank you for the prompt. I had only drawn a quick bust of Miriel before, so this was fun! Also for the first time, in the history of this blog, i have drawn a portrait of an elf of the House of Finwe in a palette other than black and gold. 
- miriel was born on the long march west to Valinor, and restlessness is her bones. The only thing that can make her sit still of any amount of time was her embroidery, but even then she would work incredibly fast.
- She never quite understood what was so special about the light of the two trees, or why the Eldar had to go to Valinor. 
- She had no interest in anything to do with being Queen. She found the palace at Tirion upon Tuna to be confining and restrictive.
- Indis was her best, and closest of friends.
