I don’t know if you’re still taking requests for your tablet practice… whether or not you are, I did want to say that I really like your palettes… But if you are, can I request Thranduil and/or Landiwar in #13? Or Pippin in #5?

lacefedora:

Thank you! the Palettes were ll randomly chosen from here though so I cannot take credit!

Thranduil seems to be having a very intense conversation with his eldest, Laindawar, Nonny. Probably about how sad they both are that Legolas and Laerophen are gone. I hope you like it!

They’re so GORGEOUS AHHH

Omg but like. When Laerophen finally has to go home, he’s just gonna be SWARMED by kids hugging his legs and crying into his hair and messy baby kisses and omg. Omg I need a moment.

I like it Nonnie! But… Well, that’s more his life in Erebor, tbh – Laerophen is very solitary when he’s at home. He sticks to his library, and doesn’t really mingle much. Not because he’s unfriendly, mostly because he’s not naturally social. 

Also, he mentions that the last child born in the Greenwood was 100 years ago… he’s not all that experienced with kids! He was a grown adult when Legolas was born, and wasn’t terribly involved with his upbringing. There’s a gulf there (as those of us with big age differences between sibs know). It’s not that he doesn’t love Legolas – just that they didn’t share many common experiences. He looks at his little brother like a mix between a miracle and a ticking bomb. 

It’s one of the reasons why Gimizh is SUCH an astonishment to him. 

I read the anon question about wifi in Valinor and thought of this head canon: In the Halls of Mandos, the elves learn about what happens from seeing Vaire’s tapestries. How fast do you think that she and her helpers make those? (And if she doesn’t have helpers, I’m not sure if she does or not, it would take even longer.) I imagine that there were be times when there wouldn’t be a new tapestry up for a while and that is the equivalent of TVs shows going on hiatus and breaks. (Part 1)

(Part 2) Like, they’re completely engrossed in the tapestry depicting their families and friends, eagerly scrolling down it to see what happens next, and being utterly disappointed to see that it ends on a cliffhanger or that something they didn’t see coming happens and they have to wait for Vaire and her helpers to finish the next one. (At this point, it’s not uncommon to hear elves yell and, um, ‘comment’ loudly on the events.) (Poor Namo.)

(Part 3) It’s even worse for the elves who are outside of/have left the Halls. They always have to wait longer to learn what happens. So they end up asking (read: interrogating) the newly reborn elves and arrivals for news.

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now to me this begs the question: which of the elves coughMAGLORcough write speculative fanfic and meta in-between ‘seasons’/tapestries?
