Sunday Morning

An illustration style rendition of Turgon for @ignotr, as commissioned in February by @the-other-side-of-mirkwood 🥰 I really enjoyed hyperfixating on this one, especially with the embroidery and general white roses theme, his relative… er, turgidity, and everyone knows I love a good grey streak. Prosthetic fingers from the Helcaraxë years as well! Also @peasant-player pattern making a reappearance on his sash 🥰

Melian served under Vána and spent time in the gardens of Irmo, master of dreams and visions

Some is intentional like the Girdle. Melian enacts a significant amount of power over her domain, just as she did in Valinor. Though the walls and pillars of Menengroth are engraved with intricate leaves, ivy, and flowers, some of the flora is real, and is the result of Melian’s power. Melian herself is imbued in the architecture and land.

Some is inadvertent. The Ainur are not necessarily meant to be contained to physical forms and where they live and change becomes imbued with their presence and power.

Forest glades forever suspended in twilight, paintings of birds fluttering into life (or an approximation of it), a strange presence in the waters that fall through Menengroth.

Those around Melian change too, find themselves brushing flowers from their hair and find their skin stained with chlorophyll and prints of ivy, find themselves drawn to twilight, wandering deeper and deeper into the forests at times.

Happy May, everyone!

Flip those calendars, go grab a coffee with the love of your life, and do some flower peeping, will ya? I'll be walking arm and arm with a fanfic, probably.

Want a wallpaper?

Or a print copy of this calendar? Oh, yeah— you bet your butt I've still got some!

Or hell, wanna drop a couple beans in my alms cup?
