If you’re up to it want to talk about Narvi? What her thoughts on Gimli and legolas’ relationship are, and how she prefers her green eggs and ham in sansukh?

Sure, if you like!

Okay, thoughts on Narvi…

(She’ll have her eggs soft-boiled please. Toast cut into ‘soldiers’ for dipping!)

So, I consider her to be a genius of the ‘mind can never ever stop working’ variety. She doodles in the margins of every scrap of paper. She can look at an uncarved, unfinished hunk of rock and know exactly what should be made from it, what is waiting inside it ready to be let out. She glances at a wall and sees the fault in it that will cause it to fall in four centuries’ time.

She’s learned to keep most of her thoughts to herself, simply because there are so many of them. They zip and sparkle and tumble through her head constantly. This lends her a rather impatient air, frankly – she always seems a little terse, but it’s usually because she’s also listening to the stones and the air and the fall of water and the EVERYTHING.

Also, uh… she doesn’t mean to be a snob, really. But everyone else’s work (bar a select few, like Telchar) is. Well. Compared to her own? They’re like a child’s finger-painting. She’s just so far ahead of them. She gets impatient! (and a bit lonely – it can be lonesome at the top when nobody else understands you).

Her opinion on Gimli/Legolas: she is both relieved and pained. Relieved – because she would see the great friendship between Elves and Dwarves restored. She knows what greatness can be found in Elves.

(she is also relieved for Legolas’ and Gimli’s sake – one of the few who is. She knows, better than most, that Elves are not impassive, and they do feel pain. She is glad for them both. And additionally, she’s also glad because GREAT MAHAL they were getting tiresome. All that annoying pining.)

And of course, the Gimli-Legolas relationship can’t help but remind her of her own life: of bright Elven eyes that smiled at her, a quick Elven mind that was as sharp and keen and brilliant as her own, of deft clever Elven fingers that made marvels.

And what happened next.

Yay, more Narvi! 

This is really just an attempt to decide what some of her tattoos look like (and figure out how to paint darker skin). 
I fell in love with determamfidd’s concept of “mourning-marks”, tattoos honoring dead friends and family, hence why Narvi has the Star of Fëanor on her back. 
I’m not entirely sure about the others (I definitely need to redesign the sun), and I’m sure she has more than the ones I’ve drawn here, but I’ll get to them later.

AUGH NARVI

AUGH MOURNING MARKS

AUGH IT IS SO BEAUTIFULLLL AND SAAAAAAAAD

Wait. Okay. Wait. 1) Arwen may or may not know how to metalwork. 2) HOBBITSHOBBITSHOBBITSHOBBITS 3) Aragorn is so completely over Gigolas. He’s not even impressed anymore. 4) I cried during the scene with Dís and Thorin III. And 5) Mahal MADE DAIN A MITHRIL PEG-LEG. Dets, you wonderful amazing author you. May your beard grow ever long!

jkdfhlajsgflasjdhfaljshfdaksdajshfd THANK YOU SO MUCH

(i may or may not really love the idea of Elves ALSO being craftspeople – bc Noldor etc etc. There’s a reason their swords are so kickass! now if only Elves and Dwarves could bond over their nerdy nerdy crafty abilities… *coughnarvicough*)

Aragorn is pretty damn over it for a guy whose OTP just got together hahaha

Never Again

fae-of-the-rose:

Small ficlet inspired by determamfidd ‘s Narvi and Celebrimbor headcanon posts and therefore also inspired by “Sansukh”. You don’t need to read the fic to understand this, just know that Narvi is female here.

Warning: mentions of torture. Nothing too descriptive, but it is mentioned.

Oh.

Oh that hurts so good.

Thank you so much, Fae, it is beautiful and thoroughly devastating. I love it!

I spent almost five hours on this, what is wrong with me?!

Here, have some Narvi and Celebrimbor hanging out, aka “bffs judge people together” (and yes, that is its actual title). I love these goobs in all their different combinations: bffs, friends with benefits, cuddle-buddies, queerplatonic, romantic asexual, or the biggest romance to ever romance, but I tend to ship them all the way to Valinor.

I swear, it has taken me such a long time to figure out how to draw that stupid Noldorin prince, there are at least three different versions of him in my scrapped-folder! The only things that have been consistent are the eye-shape and that he’s a redhead, though the specific shade of red has varied as well.

The almighty Determamfidd wrote a line in a scene where Legolas and Gimli talk about tattoos (I think it was in one of the Lórien chapters) and Legolas mentions that some Elves use paint to adorn themselves. I sort of latched on to that and decided that make-up is totes a thing.

Also, have any of you noticed that when I don’t have a clear idea of the clothes a character is wearing my brain tends to go “PURPLE!!!”?

I might shade this later. Or not. We’ll see.

OH CHRISTMASHIPPO THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHH!

Gosh, they’re GORGEOUS (elves in makeup YASSS). I am sure I mentioned how much I ADORE Narvi’s hair! LOOKIT THAT NOSERING, that is awesome! 

I LOVE IT I LOVE YOU

So like, do you hc Narvi as being romantically involved with Celebrimbor? I always just assumed from your writing that she was ace (which is awesome too!), but reading your comment on the beautiful picture of Narvi you reblogged earlier got me curious about your thoughts on their relationship (and how it might affect Narvi’s thoughts on Gimli and Legolas’ relationship).

I don’t actually have a firm headcanon on this one way or the other. I like them together. I like them aro and best buds. I like them ace, but doollaly in love. I like them romantic. I like them queerplatonic. I like them with green eggs and ham. 

All the Narvi and Celebrimbor!
