Out of curiosity, do you have any head canons for Legolas’s mom? Will there ever be a scene with her? Maybe across the sea? On some white shores?

christmashippo:

I don’t even know. A dancing elf in Lothlórien. That’s about it. Three different versions, because I fell in love with how the skirt looked without the line-art and it melded better with the background that way. It started with a squiggle, turned into an elf (what I really wanted to draw was the swirling shawl), and then got a background because it looked empty.

I had planned to draw something completely different, but blank pages scare me a bit so I tend to squiggle on them, and then this happened.

Still on the subject of mandos, I always wondered how namo dealt with all the elves sharing one space (esp all the noldorin + teleri ect) some of the fights that break out must be legendary

(I don’t envy Namo. Not one bit.)

“You take that back!!”

“Make me!”

“I’ll make you eat your teeth in a minute…”

“Oh, like you could fight your way out of a wine-jug!”

“RIGHT, THAT’S IT-”

“Cowardy cowardy custard, sat eating cake behind Melian’s skirts while everybody else did all the fighting…!”

“Shut up, shut your face! Who was it who built everything, eh? All you lot did was stomp on over, take everything that wasn’t yours, and trash the lot!”

“HOW DARE – well, at least we didn’t try bribery, extortion and impossible murder-quests as bride-prices…”

“YOU talk of murder-quests, HA, that’s bloody rich!”

“And just what’s that supposed to mean?”

“One word: Ships.”

“Oh fuck you!”

“FUCK YOU MORE WITH A SILMARIL ON TOP.”

(Namo is considering some sort of Elven Time-Out room.)

Mandos and Aule sitting around chatting about all their dead tenants. Mandos keeps complaining about how Feanor keeps charring the carpets b/c he won’t hover his whole disembodied-flame thing high enough off the ground.

LOL, Valar having cathartic bitch-sessions over a drink (or nine, hahaha!)

“…won’t stop burning stuff, I swear to Eru, I’m going to have to resurface everything with fireproof material and install showers in all the ceilings.”

“Try gypsum, it’ll cut down on the damage. And ugh, I feel your pain, I’ve got one that trashes his room on a regular basis.”

“Don’t suppose you’d lend me some of your little guys? Resurfacing the whole of the Halls is going to take a lot of work….”

“Nah, they’re all watching Middle-Earth and taking bets on the outcome. They’re absolutely obsessed. Also, I’m not sure that adding Dwarves to the situation would cut down on all the uh, inflammatory incidents.”

“Fair point.”

But can you imagine the reactions of the elves in mandos to Legolas and Gimli? Like when Galadriel gives Gimli his gift and somewhere in Mandos Feanor is flipping the fuck OUT. (Oropher takes one look at Legolas and Gimli and has a an almost Thorin-style freak out)

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Feanor: …

She gave what-what-what to a what.

Everybody else: (uh-oh)

Feanor:

Oropher: … my grandson is what-what a WHAT

everybody else: *whimpers* (oh help not again)

Oropher:

everybody else: (is it safe to come out now?)

Thingol: IS THAT A DWARF

everybody else: (oshit)

I really like the idea of – so, since elves do have to stay in mandos a little while before being reimbodied. Fëanor would be there. So, going off the other anon, every single elf reimbodied since Fëanor died have experienced Fëanor’s angry yelling at least once. (and, in the background, Maglor bangs his head against the wall while Maedhros eagerly demands the latest news of what Elrond’s gotten up to, what do you mean he had twin sons, this is great, finally he will know our pain)

LOLOLOLOLOL

Feanor – the Elves’ version of Cerberus. Love it!

(ohgod yes, Maedhros would be all *fold arms and sits back* SWEET SERENDIPITY BWAAHAHAHAH)

hi Dets ! as far as I remember, Vaire the weaver creates tapestries of events on Middle Earth as they happen and these tapestries hang in the walls of Mandos, so the dead elves would be able to watch what’s happening even if they couldn’t actually go there themselves !

OH THANK YOU NONNIE! Gosh, I had utterly forgotten all about that. Vaire you star ❤

Afterlife-Nonnie – lookit!

Sansukh has made me wonder: can elves watch those who are still living too? is there a star pool equivalent in the Halls of Mandos?? Bc on one hand: woah, sad feels everywhere! on the other hand: Feanor yelling angrily at EVERYONE. also would ghost!elves be able to see ghost!dwarves and vice versa or are there different levels of ghost?

Awww, Nonnie! Thank you! It’s such fun to consider this stuff, I hope you enjoy!

Actually, I am considering something quite different for Mandos. We know from Tolkien that because Elves are ‘tied to the world’ (can’t remember the exact phrasing rn) unlike most of the mortal races whose spirits move on to some place unknown, Elves’ spirits stay put and cannot leave except in exceptional circumstances. They are re-embodied after a time (most of them – not Feanor yet hahaha) and sent back to live in Aman.

~~Unless you’re Glorfindel~~

So, I think??? I could be wrong idk – that this means that the majority of Elves who have lived in Middle-Earth are eventually re-embodied in Aman, and so would have to find a way of watching stuff going down from their cities there.
