Haunted. 

Day 2 of #russingonweek2026 : Gold

Maitimo and Findekano were cute and innocent in their youth in Valinor(+Maitimo without fan, look at his beautiful face)

But someone lowborn - still educated, still familiar with the stories. Faithful or not. Lifespan lower than the upper class, but longer than other humans - but that doesn't matter - thousands of years is a long time. The Roman Empire was more recent than this guy.

Because imagine the founder of your nation and its first king, who was told to have been born as the son of a bird and a star, lived to be 500, and who died 2000 years ago. Just. Has a sibling. Who is still running around. You can go visit him. You can! He's very friendly. He wrote the medical book your healers study from. He updates it religiously every other decade. You don't hear from him often because he lives fairly secluded from society and seems to prefer a quiet life but every few hundred years something batshit insane happens and he's right there. At the center of things. Pretending to be a background character, as if Sauron didn't look warily at him expecting him to turn into another Lúthien incident. Maybe he's shy?

You are a sailor. You meet him on one of your journeys to Middle Earth.

Bonus: Míriel and her Favorite Grandson I felt bad about drawing Celegorm on his own, so here he is wearing matching sweaters and knitting with Míriel after a ride together. Now that Míriel has returned, he’s no longer bullied or called Arafinwë’s lost son 😆 It’s clear he takes after his grandmother; both of them are free spirits.
