“Beat that, brother mine.”

My dear most patient anon, you have just made my sister’s dream come true. Literally since the moment she heard Fingolfin’s name she keeps telling me draw this.

Nolo’s probably got some bet going with Fëanor over this game and just got a perfect shot.

Design notes:

- Fingon had to get his love of threading gold in his hair from someone, and I’m calling Fingolfin

- General contrasts to Fëanor with a more round but structured design and lots of hair decoration

- Where Fëanor has bold embroidery, Fingolfin prefers brocade with decorative jewellery

- Pearls gifted from Finarfin and Eärwen

- Loose hair with a small pulled back design in the style of the Vanyar for this piece. Fingolfin likes to honour his mother’s and her people where he can (a similarly he shares with Fëanor.)

No such thing as a silly request, go wild 😌

“I have many children who killed for naught but pride, child. You had reason for your actions. I know your brother forgave you long ago.”

Ringmaker - “You were never alone, littlest one. Not in life. Not in death.”

Perhaps he won’t notice them until his final, bloodied breaths, but Fëanor and Curufin won’t leave their little smith to face this enemy alone. So when he arrives to Mandos, exhausted and hurt, they can say hand on heart that they were always there.

They never stopped loving him.

And the whole family is so proud of everything he’s done.

Awww thank you so much!! Here’s Elrond and Celebrian finally relaxing in Valinor because they’re my favs and deserve some happiness 😌

I’ve about about their designs here for anyone interested :)

“So easy to mistake grief for anger. Worry for hate. Burn the ships and let my brother be safe from a world that stole my parents. Let his children be free of the curse that binds my own.”

“Very well, Estel. Challenge accepted.”

Glorfindel! Balrog slayer who? He’s the Elrondians’ favourite uncle, back off 🙄

I hc him to have personally taught all of Elrond’s kids and fostered children, keeping a close relationship with the Dúnedain as well.

He’s especially close to Aragorn though. Glorfindel had a large part in raising him and made sure to give the man a fun filled youth even as he taught him of the horrors of Middle Earth. Was always happy to join in the boy’s mischief, and set games and challenges to teach him what he needed of stealth, swordplay, and more.

He was a huge help as Aragorn came to terms with the weight of his ancestors’ choices and the responsibility on his shoulders.

Because sure, blood was important, but Aragorn was his own person, just as each of his forefathers had been. His choices were his own. His life was his own.

“Take it from someone who’s seen generations of your family even Elrond hasn’t. Too many people - elves, dwarves, and men - take too much pride in their heritage and use it as a crutch to excuse selfish decisions.

You prove your humility with the grief in your eyes and the weight on your shoulders, little one, and I do not worry of arrogance. But I do fear you’ll sacrifice too much trying to make up for mistakes you had no hand in. Remember. This is not your burden to carry alone.”

Aragorn himself admired Glorfindel’s personality and took him as a model of hope in trying times. He’d take on many of the elf’s characteristics around his own people, keeping their faith high as the world darkened.

“Dear child of mine.”

Came early from the forge to play with his son and put him to sleep. No one’s ever convincing me Fëanor didn’t absolutely adore all his sons.

The lack of Finno on here is a crime so here’s my fav chaos elf. Listen. This guy has no sense of self preservation and is an archer on top of that. Of course he’s going to get into high places and give Fingolfin grey hairs.
