Liv in Middle-earth

The Light That Was Not Dawn

Aegnor is as tall as Caranthir and Andreth is a little bit taller than Haleth.

I love them but I have difficulties connecting with them. While I can think of whole scenes and storylines for halenthir I can't do the same for those two. They are concepts and vague narrative ideas for me. For example that they look like a bird of paradise and a pretty little sparrow or that Andreth reminds me of Eurydike from Hadestown.

FINROD: Years of the Trees

Another commission from January that I started a couple of weeks ago and finished today, featuring beloved Finrod during the Years of the Trees, long before ‘fighting a werewolf with my nips out’ was even a glint in his eye. My brief was pretty much ‘the most beautiful man you can imagine, with sparkly piercings’ and of course, I am appreciative of being allowed to place said piercings, er, creatively.

He’s covered in freckles from head to toe, I have decided that treelight can give you freckles too, and when I say head to toe I truly deeply mean head to toe aside from a few inches of sandal straps, going off @peasant-player ‘s wonderful early 2025 headcanon re: Fingon being a German nudist who wears fuckall except whatever the elf version of Birkenstock is.

Arwen Undomiel

The trap is sprung

"Fëanor, in his wrath against the Enemy, would not halt, but pressed on behind the remnant of the Orcs, thinking so to come at Morgoth himself; and he laughed aloud as he wielded his sword, rejoicing that he had dared the wrath of the Valar and the evils of the road, that he might see the hour of his vengeance.

Nothing did he know of Angband or the great strength of defence that Morgoth had so swiftly prepared; but even had he known it would not have deterred him, for he was fey, consumed by the flame of his own wrath. Thus it was that he drew far ahead of the van of his host; and seeing this the servants of Morgoth turned to bay, and there issued from Angband Balrogs to aid them.

There upon the confines of Dor Daedeloth, the land of Morgoth, Fëanor was surrounded, with few friends about him."
