Meril for Darkk Rose 🌹

'I pray thee, Tulkas, lend me strength and guide my sword with sharpness, My time has come to join the fray, I need my heart be dauntless. Don't let me tire, falter, fail, don't let my courage dwindle, If I'm about to give up hope, the flame of hope rekindle.

Findaráto loves Maitimo and Findekáno both, and while they are fond of him, he knows they love one another more than anything.

Ornendil vs Meril

Ornendil:

The elder son of Eldacar, twenty-first King of Gondor. He was captured and put to death during the Usurpation of Castamir.

HE DID NOTHING WRONG AND CASTAMIR KILLED HIM AND THEN HIS FATHER AVENGED HIM. JUSTICE FOR ORNENDIL.

Meril:

The wife of Finrod and mother of Gil-galad in one early draft of the legendarium.

I mean honestly, this woman lost everything.  She lost her son to Fingon, she lost her husband to Amarie, she lost her name to subsequent revisions, does she have to lose a obscure blorbo poll, too??

Like, where are all the Gil's mom oc's? You can at least acknowledge the one version where Gil's mom was actually named, her name being Meril. And yet I find practically nothing.

Gil-Galad deserves to know for a surety of who at least one of his parents is, and amidst all the crack theories of Gil-Galad's 5+ dads, who better than his own, one mother? At least let him be close to his mom!

Some weeks ago, I came across that idea by reading @captainadwen 's crack fic and I must say, I really really love that idea!

And, as with any good idea it's now stuck in my head, so I finally caved in and drew Maedhros-as-Meril (in class, obviously...)

4 allies to the Red Crown. Each one with their own backstory and lore. But which one do you guys want to know about? The anxious light house keeper Meril? The goofy assistant healer Sozo? The ghost pirate Plimbo of Anchordeep? Or the secret treasure guardian Midas. Whatever character you choose will have a comic made to reveal their backstory.

The poll won’t have an end date. I have no idea when it will end. But since it will only last a week I’ll just make another poll and write down the votes on the poll. So take your time everyone! Without further ado…
