the best thing about the silmarillion is that everyone in it is sexy because the fandom gets to design all of the characters. it's literally free real estate. we can be as horny as we want

I just think Aredhel deserves hugs from all her loved ones

Some Celrond Boops for your dash (●ˇ∀ˇ●)

I’m not the daughter of a dog, since I’m the daughter of a wolf. There are six of you, what matters that to me? You are men. Well, I’m a woman. You don’t frighten me. I tell you that you shan’t enter this house, because it doesn’t suit me. If you approach, I’ll bark.

I’m not afraid. I shall be hungry this summer, and I shall be cold this winter.

Idk is this is too late to ask but I was wondering about blind Earendil for disability pride month. He's half-mortal and wears a star for hours every night, so it makes sense that he'd lose his vision over time. Maybe he has a little seeing-eye bird (courtesy of Elwing).

[Image ID: A digital painting of Eärendil in the night sky, drawn from the chest up in profile. Eärendil is a blind, brown-skinned half-elf with golden, coily hair and gold freckles across the bridge of his nose. The Silmaril is a oval-shaped multi-colored jewel bound to his brow on a gold headband and lights the whole piece. He is wearing a gray fur mantle and a large owl rests on his shoulder as a companion and guide. /. END ID.)

I haven't drawn adult Eärendil yet, so this was super fun to do. I always headcannoned that he took a lot after Idril's side of the family. I absolutely love this whole idea. It's so cool!!! It makes total sense that he'd start to lose his vision over time. I kind of imagine that Vingilótë's trajectory is pretty fixed, but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't be helpful to have a (or a couple) seeing eye bird hanging around to help.

An owl just seems to fit his vibe (plus, you know, they see super well and have that 360 degree vision). In a lot of cultures across the world they're not only seen as a sign of wisdom, but of protection from evil too. Seems fitting for a seeing-eye bird.

Anyway I'm super in love with this idea and I'm adopting it into my headcannons, thank you. I'm always on the lookout for good Eärendil headcannons!!

#YESYESYESYES #i have. so many emotions about blind!ëarendil

Before you now say that this is a weird list of characters, I just put in those that came to my mind first😅.

I would choose Huan. (Idril or Amras & Amrod are close seconds, though)

sometimes you find your long-lost brother somewhere on a beach and also you're a cat and you just have to stand on his face

[trans-noldor]

oh so when everyone else has a "beach era" it's a fun and funky time but when I, Maglor Fëanorion -

for @thelien-art - DTIYS! :D

I was so excited when I saw you post your challenge, and of course, immediately knew which piece I had to choose. I had so much fun painting this one and I just adore your art and love how we vibe like two tuning forks on our Celrond designs. Thank you for everything you do!!

‘To beat the enemy you must think like the enemy’ is so vast because for Maedhros it meant ‘become a stone cold killer’ and for Finrod it meant ‘bite’.
