an attempt at drawing almost every named character in the silmarillion (minus a bunch of Men characters bc i didnt have designs for them, as well as assorted minor elves like salgant or elenmire + the valar and most maiar cuz im still redesigning them) đ
been really busy these past months but i worked on this on and off in-between (you can see a process gif here!!). since ive got a bit of free time for now, ill try to get back to being more active :D sorry for disappearing out of the blue again but happy almost half a year... wait wdym we're almost halfway through 2025 already...?!?! ToT
Extremely uninspired this year, so The One Egg it is. Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates!
(don't analyze the inscription to much, it's written in Teggwar anyways)
maedhros: made a spreedsheat to plan his studying and actually managed to stick to it. is prepared for all the classes. passes everything with flying colours and annoys the shit out of you. knows how to turn his stress into something productive. 10/10
maglor: made a spreedsheat to plan his studying and did NOT stick to it. has accepted that he will be failing at least one class and named it his nemesis. spends more time procrastinating than actually studying, but manages to bullshit his way through the questions. you KNOW he didnât study enough but the teacher doesnât. 7/10
celegorm: never said he would study and has not. no, actually, thatâs a lie; he studied for that one or two classes that he really likes and let maedhros bully him into a quiz for the rest of them and called it âstudyingâ. canât remember the answers to said quiz. doesnât really care. 5/10
caranthir: said he would study and then procrastinated. crass-coursed entire classes the day before they were due, and managed to pass with a moderately good grade. has like, three classes he excels in because he likes them better. would try to help you study but then youâd both fail. 6/10
curufin: like maedhros but he overachieves. the spreedsheet is colour-coded. the hours he spends studying each class are calculated based on difficulty, on the material, on how much the teacher likes him, on the velocity of the wind during the weekends. aces everything through a coffee and sleep-deprivation induced haze. 11/10
amrod: youâd think he needs to be bullied into studying but he doesnât. takes turns quizzing himself on the material with each of his family members. sits next to someone and says the whole lesson aloud. he prefers to do it to maglor because maglor barely even notices heâs there. 8/10
amras: does need to be bullied into studying. amrod threatens to quiz him on everything and follows through, leaving amras no choice but to study. complains the whole way through to anyone that will listen. barely passes his classes but he says itâs okay because he wonât need them when he grows up. 3/10
I just realized why so few of Feanor's sons are married:
Feanor is just that good at burning ships.
âOh brown haired man with a lightsome air So blithe and bright and fair Each tuesday when I trysted thee again All the week was worth to me And so young were we when first found love Found ourselves in the hazel grove Oh brown haired man with a witching smile Full of love and free from guile So soft beneath the lonely hawthorn tree Came thy whispered truth to me Iâll be with thee, my brown haired man In the sunshine or the shade Iâll bring times of bliss to thee So sweet thy kisses were to me And thy voice was melodyâ Brown haired Man - Sava
All hail Volcano Snail
âNobody will ever know what it is like for them. The Valar tell nobody of it. But Elwing and Maedhros fall into this strange, unnatural rhythm. Sometimes it feels like they are laying down and longing to die. Other times, it is all that keeps them alive. Each night, the moon climbs the trees, an aloof observer. The two of them begin uncurling out from themselves and into each other like pressed-together seeds in the cold earth. An unasked-for hybridisation.â
thought todayâs sickbed sketch was cute enough to share, so enjoy desert island frenemies-with-benefits Elwing and Maedhros, as seen in my fic The Island Dwellers where they explore each otherâs bodies for the sole purpose of fucking with the Valar đ
Crablor giving autographs for @thescrapwitch, inspired by the concluding scene of her amazing fic Little Crab on the Big Stage. If you haven't already, go read it, it's one of my favourites!
