Since due to their nature, cherubs are suposed develop a view of social interaction centered entirely around animosity and confrontation, the good cherubs just isolate naturally and the bad ones destry stuff and never interact either, the whole interaction with Calamity probably left Calmasis even more of a hermit that before

Acording to Aranea, malevolent cherubs gain strength from isolation, it chanels their destructive tendencies. I think the twins's father got pretty beat up after the battle with Calamity and after laying thre egg and getting exiled from his territory, he kinda retired from "galaxy murder rampage", and probably lives in some low population planet that he destroys gradually before he goes onto the next one.

Fire and Smoke. Wrath and Grief.

Throw a pair of star-eyed twins in there, and you got yourself the Third Kinslaying!

On a more serious note though, it’s generally thought (within the story) that the twins are in danger when the Fëanorians first pick them up. Elrond and Elros must surely believe it when Maedhros and Maglor take them. But then this scenario popped into my head while drawing: if the twins were found during the carnage, they were likely (and objectively) safest with Maedhros and Maglor than anyone and anywhere else in Sirion. The Fëanorians were probably thought unbeatable by any Elf at this point (not including Morgoth loll), so none of the soldiers would be able to touch the twins if Maedhros, and especially Maglor, stood in their way. And I’m sure the Orcs wouldn’t stand a chance at all, either.

I don’t know if that makes sense loll But aside from those thoughts, I also kinda imagined little scenarios to go with these pieces. To start with, we have Maedhros and Elrond. I usually pair Elrond with Maedhros since this pairing is quite uncommonly done in fanart and fanfiction. As you’ve probably guessed, Maedhros is fire and wrath here, but though Elrond may fear both, he is in fact safe from both. Maedhros’s wrath is directed at things beyond Elrond’s control, and he shields Elrond from the flames with his red cloak.

As for Maglor, he is smoke and grief. Grieving for Amras (and Amrod if you don’t go with the Losgar version of canon), the Silmaril’s loss, and a whole bunch of other things. Smoke blows all around them, both from Sirion’s destruction and his men and brothers’ funerals. He turns his face to the smoke, deserving the pain of breathing in the putrid stench, but keeps Elros facing away from it. It’s also a bit hard to see, but Maglor’s hair shields Elros from the smoke as well.

Yep, because that's how it looks like in the Paradox Space comics. It makes sense to me since he probably crashes into stuff a lot, having super speed and all.

This seems like a good enough excuse to post some sketches!

They seemed calm; not too many injuries, but enough to be concerned and no clue what caused them. No one had seen anything like it...

"Would it be okay if you told me? Just me. No one else in the room." Caretaker coaxed. Whumpee was silent for a while; you could see their eyes darting, their shoulders raised insecurely, their legs twitching closer to their body.
