✨ Fingon the Valiant ✨
(he loves fireflies)
Generally I’m a terrible reviewer of fic. When I like something very much, I always want to write a review that would make the writer feel at least half as great as their fic has made me feel, and always end up talking about MY feels instead.
But seriously, emilyenrose’s The Starless Road is one of the best fics I’ve read. It’s a unique case for me, while reading it I had this distinct feeling, sad and bittersweetly hopeful, like I had reading the LOTR itself, closer to its end. It has the same atmosphere, fairy-tale-ish and profound, and something just shines inside it. I loved it and if you haven’t read it yet, go, go. Just wanted to make a little watercolor or Sam and Fingon doing hobbit things together. And now I’m off to cry over them some more.
@endeavoringdaydreamer, here you go! 🦀
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!
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)
“Gil Galad is Fingon’s son” “Gil Galad is Angrod’s son” WRONG
Gil Galad is a random orphan Fingon saw one day and went, that looks vaguely son shaped, so he just started raising him as his heir, while refusing to answer any questions about where he came from which led to multiple interactions that went as followed
Courtier: “But high king who’s son is that”
Fingon: “What a silly question he’s mine clearly I gave birth to him”
The same poor fool. “Forgive me high king who’s his… ummmm… father?”
The literal high king of the Noldor: *Scandalized gasp* “how DARE you ask me that”
for @feanorianweek, day 1: Maedhros, Union of Maedhros
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 didn’t study enough but the teacher doesn’t. 7/10
celegorm: never said he would study and has not. no, actually, that’s 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 ‘studying’. can’t remember the answers to said quiz. doesn’t 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 you’d 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: you’d think he needs to be bullied into studying but he doesn’t. 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 he’s 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 it’s okay because he won’t need them when he grows up. 3/10
for @feanorianweek day 7: Fëanor, Creation
I also made an alternative version based on this weird idea of mine, because, unfortunately, I do need someone to keep an eye on my pipettes at work :D
Hide-and-seek.
My hc is that Maedhros is kinda traumatized by never finding Elured and Elurin in the forest.
Also that’s a random laiquendi oc I needed for comic lol. No name.
thought i heard a red-winged blackbird red-winged blackbird down my road he'll be in there singing his heart out he'll be telling me stories too of where he went to winter last year of how he's going back there too
