Yeehawgust day 3: prompt: “Wanted Poster”

Did I need to paint Eleanor Cecilia and her entire barback to paste up the broadsheet. No, no I did not.

My brain insisted otherwise. For twelve direct working hours.

Enjoy.

TODAY'S HOBBITHOLE: ELVESSSSSSS

Tolkien never said anything abut pointy ears (as I remember, and as I fervently asserted for many eons of playing them in D&D and illustrating them). He did mention "sea-grey eyes and "the elven-light" in their eyes. (cough*Arondir*cough)(IRL too*cough).

According to some knowledgeable sources, the pointy ear thing comes from the Victorian Age, where oral traditions had become legend become myth and then were bawlderized by new cultures and religions. As a one time keeper of Northern Dogs, I see the pointy ear thing as the "wild type", the Original Model. Roundears, whether canine or peoples, are the later version, less tied to the natural world, less cognizant of a connection with it.

Deep in the appendices of LOTR Tolkien states: "Elves... this old word was indeed the only one available, and was once fitted to apply to such memories of this people as Men preserved, or to the making of Men's minds not wholly dissimilar. But it has been diminished, and to many it may now suggest fancies either pretty or silly, as unlike to the Quendi of old as are butterflies to the swift falcon--not that any of the Quendi ever possessed wings of the body, as unnatural to them as to Men. They were a race high and beautiful, the older children of the world..."

In European mythology, there are a few Elven types who stand out: the Irish Sidhe (Tuatha de Dannan), the Welsh Tylwyth Teg, and the Norse Ljósálfar (light elves). Cultures around the world have their own versions of these beings who stand somewhere between gods and humans.

In my tales, some are still here, still at work in a world that is overrun by humans, and losing its natural places. For some humans, the veil is thin, and we see through it, perhaps becoming allies in the fight against darkness and greed.

Vishan.

I have no idea how i never posted him here before? Unless i did and tumblr’s search is just being dumb, in which case, forgive the duplicate.

Anyway.

Meet Vishan.

A devout demonhunter possessed of a magic silvered rifle which is also incidentally fond of killing demonkin of all kinds.

He had another name once, but he won’t admit to it in company or out. We know he left a heavy history behind when he chose his new name, that he lost his parents young, and was separated from his only living bloodkin - a sister, whose name he never shares - when he was still a small boy.

He’s now 25 and has supported himself variously as a simple laborer, a trapper, a horse trainer, a cowhand, and a lawman. He’s short and wiry of build, athletic and flexible. He is illiterate and uneducated, and rather coarse in manners, but he is clever and a quick study.

Minor spoilers for La Mala Suerte under the cut

He is technically married… to Ana Sophia Seshet Riga. The scheme was her idea, ostensibly to persuade her father to change his opinion of Arelis - a semi-nomadic people found throughout the marginal forests of the known word - and folks of mixed heritage.

John Riga remained fixed in his prejudice, and shortly thereafter Ana Sophia picked up everything and everyone in her household - including Vishan - and went west.

The marriage is a cold and distant one, though not even Vishan is certain of Ana Sophia’s opinions about this. No one speaks of it - except Teca, who spends many long weeks trying (unsuccessfully) to persuade Vishan to return to his wife and make a good life in the village.

Vishan has evidenced a strange affliction connected to his compulsion to hunt, which seems to cycle with the moon. He has been both friend and enemy to Tecbalor, a circumstance neither of them particularly understand… and it gets worse as they travel together and physical attraction enters the equation.

He can communicate with - and sometimes compel - animals of all kinds, though he prefers the company of horses above others. He seems to hear the earth herself, and also the rifle that called him to his vocation many years ago.

He’s also very, very bi, and traveling beside Teca gets under his skin in every possible way - despite, or maybe because of, his demonblood.
