Have a thiiiiing
*gasping*
oh WOW @the-anchorless-moon!!! This is so beautiful! I love her dress, how sparkly she is, and what a GORGEOUS BEARD SHE HAS, that central pearl droplet is such a lovely design and I can so easily see those side-loops being popular…! And what heart-stopping eyes she hasm, lakhsdlamhdlahd this is so beautiful!
I have to say, I am not sure who it is (bc I am a nong) – but I think it is Baris Crystaltongue! She totally looks like she’d be singing ❤
I pretty much fell in love with legolas’ family so of course I had to try sketching them! I’ve always head cannoned that elves don’t actually have pupils, they just have spots of color that zoom down to pin points when they’re sleeping. Your lovely writing made me headcanon that the votes ended up inheriting kind of wavy wild hair from their mother.
ME REACTING: HOLY HECK THIS IS AMAZING!! I love your style, how flowing and graceful and art-nouveau-y and elvish your lines are! I can see the personalities just shining out of each of them, and you’ve chosen their outfits SO perfectly (oh Laerophen, you reserved and high-collared beanpole you!!!) – I love enigmatic, stately Thranduil, and Laindawar’s armour and his challenging expression, and ofc Legolas isn’t paying attention, but is watching the squirrels chasing each other in the trees…!
i love it, thank you SO much ❤ it’s amazing and so are you!
Hey so I colored one of the Dwarrowdam sketches I did a while back, here’s Gimris!
Dets: OH WOW!!! OH MY GODSSSHKLSHDGLSJHDS LOOK AT HER BEARD, I LOVE THAT SO MUCH I WANT IT *grabby hands* AND HER EXPRESSION IS PERFECT lshjkdgfljs and her hair, I love the ripples! she’s amazing, thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart!
Hey Dets! I drew a bunch of Dwarrowdams for you and Tumblr won’t let me upload them, but I put them on imgur! If you want you can add them to this post or something if Tumblr isn’t borking on your end, or not, whatever you want. Either way, sweet character designs for you! If you can tell who each one is supposed to be, that means I did a good job.
AHHHH!
omg look ppl, this is brilliant!!!
THERE’s MORE TOO – go look omg go look this is amazing
(I AM IN LOVE WITH THAT HRERA AND BARIS – OMFG THEY ARE AMAZINGGGGGG)
@the-anchorless-moon thank you so so so so SO MUCH!!
Are we still doing favorite OCs? Because Thira’s pretty rad, and I know Narvi doesn’t /technically/ count, but I’m adding her in anyway because “nerdy-craftswoman-dwarf with an epic hatred for Sauron” is an EXCELLENT character concept . ❤
(I WAS SO HOPING SOMEONE LOVED THIRA AS MUCH AS I DO, she is so beautiful and such a soft, wise, quiet soul, I love her so muchhhhhh)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
A small Sansukh-verse drabble for you (featuring Gimris, Thranduil, Frerinith, and Mumblebee the stuffed bumblebee).
****
Thranduil looked down from his conversation with his son-in-law’s sister at the insistent tugging on his robes. The small child doing the tugging let go of his clothing and lifted the arm that wasn’t clutching a bumblebee toy to himself in the air. Obviously he wasn’t tall enough to climb on to the couch on his own.
“Uppy!” demanded the tiny dark-skinned child (whose name might start with an F? Or was the middle one the F-child?).
The lady Gimris sighed. “Where are your clothes, Frerin?”
Thranduil carefully noted that this child – who was garbed only in some sort of loosely-fitting undergarment – was, in fact, Frerin.
Frerin grinned. “Gone!”
Gimris scowled. “Did you drop your clothes in the toilet again?”
“Not telling!” Turning back to Thranduil, he insisted again, “Up!”
Gimris turned back to Thranduil. “You don’t have to take him if you don’t want to.”
“It’s quite alright, my lady,” said Thranduil. “I find children … refreshing.”
Giving him a look that might under less charitable circumstances be considered suspicious, Gimris stood up. “If you say so, King Thranduil. If you’ll excuse me, I should see if I can find this one’s clothes.”
“Of course.”
“Bye-bye, Auntie!”
Having some experience with recalcitrant children, Thranduil set aside his wineglass and settled the child on his lap, a process which was spoiled by Frerin’s immediate turning around to look at his impromptu seat.
“Mista elfy king?”
Thranduil looked down to see the child clutching his stuffed toy in one hand and a fistful of his robes in the other. Joy.
“Yes, child?”
“You like honey candiesh?”
Where was the child going with this?
“I am somewhat fond of them, but I must admi-” His speech was cut off by a small fist unceremoniously shoving a rather sticky candy into his mouth.
Blinking, Thranduil decided that he would rather not think too hard about the provenance of the candy.
“My thanks, child.”
OH K OH MY GOD I JUST LET OUT AN ALMIGHTY
“AAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!”
suck it up (literally), Thranduil. XD heheheheheh! Thank you so much, wonderfullest Kailthia! *hugs*
THIS. HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO HOLD BACK THE TEARS?????
eep
SORRY, SORRY BOUT THAT, SORRYYYY
I found a cool thing yesterday! I thought you might appreciate. (The puzzles are really intricate like holy crap.)
(It’s not official, though, BUT that means it’s not restricted to only the movie depictions, which means Silmarillion stuff as well.)
*heavy breathing*
want.
In celebration of The Time of Two Updates, I give you: Broadbeam Dumpling Stew. Dunno if you’ve made it yet yourself (the first/lamb version) but $*$(#*$& is it tasty.
*mouth waters*
waaaaaant
nope, by the time winter shuffled away here in Australia, I’d forgotten to make it!! It’s stiflingly hot here now, darnitall. GODDAMN I WANT THAT. THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS.
I saw it on fb and my immediate thought was of you (the internet makes us so odd) I think this stems from my new appreciation for beards which is entirely because of your fics and tumblr posts! Hope you like!
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN
OH GOD, I am so so happy to know of these now, you’re a total and utter gem!
okay, so I feel that both Ashkar and Orla would be into these. Probably Gimris as well. And Jeri. Maybe Gimli later in life. Those are GORGEOUS. Beard-piercings, gnnngh yeaaaaaaaaaah. thank you so so much @aiolea!
(boosting for any beardy folks out there who want to get fancy!)
Aw Yiss
