Request- 'Modern au farmers market stall owner Halsin meeting dashing fashion model Astarion!'

I don't know who put him in a bad mood, maybe Cazador is a big name designer and Astarion is one of his models, but he's treated badly and wants to quit.

[ty to papa rye for the sound business model line, and general vibes!]

Imagine the fellowship showing each other pictures and paintings of themselves as children

Everyone cooes over Gimli with the tiniest little beard and mini axe, the Hobbits all sleeping in a little pile of curls and tails, Aragorn in formal elven clothing but his hair is still as messy cause they couldn’t style it even if they tried, Boromir holding a baby Faramir cause he refused to part with him after he was born

And then Legolas shows the ugliest fucking thing any of them had ever seen, looking like a fleshy newborn bird with enormous eyes and ears, and he’s proudly boasting over how he’s seen as one of them most beautiful elven infants in millennium, and the rest of them are afraid to say anything because What The Fuck

#Aragorn knows that elves are extremely ugly and weird looking as babies #And he also knows that Legolas is in fact one of the prettier ones #The rest of them are just questioning if it’s some sort of prank #Gandalf fucks with them by showing a picture of a mushroom saying that all wizards grow from them #lotr #lord of the rings #lotr headcanons #the fellowship of the ring #the fellowship headcanons #legolas greenleaf #aragorn son of arathorn #Samwise Gamgee #frodo baggins #merry brandybuck #pippin took #Boromir #gimli son of gloin #Gandalf the gray

Silmarillion concept that has me gnawing on the bars of my enclosure today: all of Elrond's parents are terrifying eldritch beings actually.

Maedhros, with white fire pouring from his eyes, taken from the jaws of death anything but unchanged. Some whisper that he's not elvish anymore, not since his captivity. They can never quite agree on what that makes him, exactly.

Maglor, with a voice no elf ever should've had, beautiful and terrible and powerful enough to shake the mountains. Sailors along Middle-Earth's west coast whisper of a sea wraith, some horrible siren that roams the beaches on the darkest nights.

Earendil, a man made an elf, a star, a maia if some are to be believed. Slayer of dragons, guardian of the void. Someone who's spent so along around the Silmaril and the Ainur that some of that power lives within him now.

Elwing, a skin-changer with a voice and a laugh that sound like they were taken from a bird's throat. A witch who lives in a lighthouse, where the animals flock and the plants grow strangely. None of the Amanyar would admit to being scared of her, but few will venture in sight of her odd little realm.

And then there's Elrond, ring-bearer, Lord of Rivendell, kind as a summer.

Well, let's just say it probably helps that no one is expecting him to be normal. Or elvish. Or entirely comprehensible.

sea elves pointy ears Aegirian

#arknights #gladiia #kirara #highmore #lumen #somehow i dig the idea of more aegir having pointy ears so I could call them sea elves lol #i find it weird that only kirara having pointy ears while we have Andreana and Deepcolor having human ears #then... there's shark with no pointy ears despite being literal FISH (point at both Gladiia and Lumen) #perhaps due to shark being built different I guess?

Weird Al made a Christmas movie where he played a villain who was kidnapping Santa’s elves, but people thought it was real and he got taken to court over it. There were posts all over Tumblr and Twitter about how he was now problematic whether he did it or not because even if he didn’t he still ENDORSED elf-kidnapping by playing this character.

I absolutely love that high status elves wear capes. like most of the time they're functionally dorkier cloaks, but then you have the Neverseen in actual cloaks, and it's like. the only fashion difference between being a noble and being evil is a hoodie

#does this make sense are you seeing my vision. someone has to be seeing my vision there's a fanart or headcanon or two in this i know it #kotlc #kotlc thoughts with catherine #elves are weird

[silvantransthranduiltrash]

Honestly, shout out to Oropher and Thranduil for not getting involved in the incest party.

Legolas politely doesn’t think about the fact that Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen’s family tree is a wreath, because honestly, he finds it super weird. The amount of times Legolas has had to restrain himself from clapping back at any comments about his family with “yeah, well at least our romantic interests isn’t made up exclusively of our cousins” is surreal.

Legolas, when Aragorn and Arwen fall in love: so! I love and support you both, i would die for you! But would it kill ya’ll to stop falling in love with your cousins?!? I know it’s technically the nth time removed, but still!

those "dragon age fans are mad that baldur's gate 3 fans have something/how come they get to be happy" posts are so funny to me b/c i legit thought the venn diagram of people who would be into these two games was a circle.

like real talk, instead of pining for da4/staring jealously at bg3 enjoyers, you too can pick up bg3 (available now if you have pc, in september if you're on console), you will probably enjoy the shit out of it and it will keep you warm through the long nights/weeks/months/years until da4 comes out (also check out divinity original sin 2 while you're about it! similar vibes, lots of hot npcs to romance, including a broody ancient skeleton man who is weirdly hot, fun combat to be had, plot to enjoy, corpses to eat ԅ(☉Д☉)╮)

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #dragon age #games are not mutually exclusive you can and should enjoy everything you want #you can love them both #text post #da4 #the elves eat people canonically in divinity it's so fucking weird and i love it #fane has some solas vibes but i think he's nicer #we're all monster fuckers here and as soon as we admit this to ourselves we'll all be happier #join us

[natjennie]

loooove the way they use these little fairies as walkie talkies btw. they just fucking grab it out of the air and talk into it like a phone. obsessed.

#it's a really fun world building detail #the first time it happened too was so funny #like out of nowhere these evil elves just yank a fairy out of the sky #and crush it and then start whispering to it #so weird. im in love. #dungeon meshi #jennie reads dungeon meshi #dm spoilers

some of you are confused under the post that shows astarion's date of birth and date of "death". so first of all, it's a fact that in dnd 5e elves do grow up the same way humans do. a 39 year old is still that age. he wouldn't look like a child or a teen! "not an adult elf" is not literally true. it's a social thing among elves. think about it... someone who is hundreds of years old would look at a 70 year old human/elf and think... that's a baby. they also view humans that way, but surely we don't think a 39 year old human is not mature. it is just a fantasy thing, it makes sense that if such old people existed they would view younger people this way. so "not an adult by elven standards" is simply because of how old elves view younger people, elves included. let's just clear that up.

Also this made you all wonder how he could have been a magistrate. He is from baldur's gate which is a mixed society, not a society of elves. I highly doubt baldurians have a rule that only hundred year olds are allowed positions of power. then humans could never have positions. in elven society they might not give such a position to a 39 year old because they respect their elders more. but there is no difference between 39 year old elf and 39 year human mentally. ofc he can legally have a position in a place like baldur's gate.

plus during early access, he had the noble background. Why are you so confused that he could be a magistrate at the age of 39? As if rich/noble families don't ever use their connections to help someone in the family get a high paying job. lol He wouldn't need to grind for hundreds of years.

(and one more thing... in the tags under that post I wrote that the rune for 6 and 9 are similar so there is a chance that the date of "death" is 30 years later... which would make him 69. but from what I have seen, others also translated the year as 1268 and not 1298. still, if he was 69 that would mean he was turned nearly 200 years ago, but not quite 200 which is what he says in most dialogues. but it doesn't even matter because 69 is still below 100. so we could have the same conversation... under 100 does not mean not an adult.)

#bg3 #astarion #bg3 mine #my post #my posts #baldur's gate 3 #I am begging you to understand that it's just a social thing... #yes he was tragically young ... too young to ''die'' #but it's not weird that he had this type of job... #39 is still 39 lived years .... it's not like elves experience a different flow of time #lol #I tried to make this short and concise... this is the best I could achieve #because it seems I had to explain it at length and better... there are so many confused commenters under that post

i saw a video about the Queen in Dungeon Meshi and her skin colour. and people in the comments had all sorts of theories on why she and Flamela have such dark skin. and it made me realise that a lot of people haven’t seen this page of the Adventurers Bible:

#people were saying they’re dark elves (in universe that’s actually a sort of outdated term for elves who do ancient magic) #that they thought it was a weird reference to minstrel shows (not really my place to speak on it #but they are drawn like all the other characters just a flipped colour scheme) #that they’re drow (maybe design was inspired by that but that’s it) #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #flamela #there’s a lot to speculate about in her backstory. why was her sister the one chosen? did the queen kill her to keep the throne to herself? #how was it growing up separated from her twin but still so obviously a royal? #also to note. the very first Queen we see. why is her ear mangled like that? interesting

i choose to imagine that ryoko kui's "senshi has more body hair than is shown, i just don't feel like drawing it" thing applies to other characters too

#eliot posts #dunme #dungeon meshi #like namari is hairy to me #falin is a little bit hairy and doesn't shave but her hair is light and relatively thin #similar case w laios #listen ppl shaving their bodies was not very common throughout most of history #marcille might shave (or use a weird hair removal spell) tho bc she's just Like That #though elves and half foots are already likely pretty light on body hair already

[shadowtraveled]

this is a largely meaningless observation but, based on the fleki uniform demonstration comic, mithrun seems to wear the default style of the canary uniform, probably because he has no desire to personalize it or preference for how to do so, etc. when he does seem to pick his own clothes, though, they don’t look super in-line with what we’re shown of elven clothing styles in his region: high collars look like they’re fairly popular with elves in general, but out of uniform he tends to be a lot more covered up than everyone else—long sleeves, long pants, boots rather than sandals, and he dresses that way both prior to getting eaten and after the events of the series. anyway it’s kind of cute that after everything that happened to him, someone cared enough to remember what his clothing preferences used to be.

#sorry my head is full of him #dungeon meshi spoilers #just mentioned. just a bit #dungeon meshi #mithrun #he’s like a case study in the problems that would Of Course arise in a society with the standards and values we frequently see in elves #in fantasy which is very refreshing because again What is with fantasy writers writing their elven societies Like That and going no they can #be weird elitists they’re hot and they’re kind of right. and leaving it at that. i mean i know why that happens but. anyway #if elves are going to be elfing in that way it’s so much more interesting to see how that manifests and affects individuals within that #culture. this was a large part of essek’s appeal to me also lmfaondns and it is why i can’t stop giving my dnd characters elf ancestry. if #you’re going to make them be fucked up let me think about the consequences !!!! but anyway yeah no mithrun gets to be on my mind 24/7 #because he Is the consequences. and it’s very good but also i am so so sad

I’ve seen what’s on your mind. I know it well, a tale as old as time. You’re infatuated with what I represent to you. You'll eventually find something else to obsess over. At least the view is great. I... appreciate the moment.

(I was at it again, torturing myself with insane amounts of small details. Why do I draw heavily textured or intertwined details on most elf outfits? I just imagine it's something they'd culturally have because of historical and psychological reasons.)
