Years of Trees - breath-art
New bad hc: Elves are resistant to mercury. As in they can literally consume it and they’ll be pretty fine other than mild sickness, because yknow. It’s not meant for consumption, but it won’t kill them and knowing them they eat it as like. Red chilli or something. That’s why they’re all glowy.
Either that or they naturally emit UV light. Or something.
Like the trees of Valinor had insane levels of UV that was so strong the elves of Aman absorbed it. At least Laurelin did. Because the sun emits UV rays. So it makes sense the tree did too… or was it just the fruit? Did they eat the fruit in like. Festivals or something?? Is that why they glow??? Did it give them some level of immunity to sunburn and the like????
Even worse Hc: the Silmarils through the processes of creation and meshing of light, are radioactive. They cause slow radiation poisoning that drives elves mad. And it gets worse with every new generation born in Arda as they lack the heightened resistant Valinor born elves had. (Though that erodes after years of no exposure.)
Which is why Fëanor started to really go off the deep end as he wore the Silmarils more and more. And by proximity, his kids slowly did too, but it was slow onset.

Cloak update
I went off of the Silmaril design I saw on the Tolkien gateway, but I used cashmere in gold and silver so that it would seem to glow. I thought I could put a third one on the hood when I got to it? I need to do a banner at the bottom of the tree connecting the Silmarils, then at the top pick a design to cover the meaty part of the shoulder, then do a triangle to connect the top and bottom so it makes a semi-circle. So if anyone has any Noldor/Feanor forward designs for suggestion, love to hear them. It’s a Silmarillion cloak but we all know how big that book would be without the original problem child.
Illumination
Hello wonderful Internet beings! This is my art submission for this year's Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang, which I can finally share. It's done in watercolour, and based on illuminated manuscript art. The amazing @arlenianchronicles wrote a beautiful story inspired by it, which you'll be able to read very soon✨
Tolkien’s subtle connections between LOTR and The Silmarillion are just glorious to discover. Like the reason Gollum hates sunlight and moonlight is the same reason the Nazgûl get scared off when Frodo calls out to Varda! Sauron - and thus his servants and his Ring that has completely corrupted Gollum’s soul - shares the absolute darkness of Melkor, who always hated and feared Varda because she is absolute light and thereby she created the Sun and Moon in defiance of that darkness… and she created them out of the last remaining light of the Two Trees which Melkor destroyed, so every time a piece of Melkor’s darkness comes into contact with the light of the Sun and Moon, it is reminded that Melkor did not destroy that light completely, that it lives on. Gollum can feel Varda’s creations forever clashing with what is indirectly Melkor’s creation.
