I was very carried away by the adorableness of bird snuggle last night not until I saw anon’s ask did the Númenórean significance dawn on me like nude. paintings. of Eärendil — whom they’ve never seen so all these are imaginations and ideals — in Númenórean bathrooms and bedchambers…

*submitting bc the world needs to know about ant-burning Eärendil*

@ratashionista submitted:

So, about the very interesting Ancalagon discussion and how on Earth you redirect the Silmaril’s light to cause enough damage to kill him…

I’d like to point out that Beren’s hand held the Silmaril and the Silmaril alone, whereas it must’ve been mounted on something for Eärendil to be able to wear it on his forehead (my only copy of the Silmarillion is a print copy in Spanish so please excuse the lack of quotes). If the Valar had a hand in making the bling wearable, maybe they made it with the specific purpose to turn it into a weapon, and the setting has the property to sort of convey the Silmaril’s power like a laser.

Alternatively, if the omni-directional evil-blasting power of the Silmaril was indeed a thing that could not be contained or directed, maybe they were battling too high in the air for it to affect any other creature than Ancalagon.

That, or Eärendil used to burn ants with a magnifying glass as a child and found a pretty cool new use for the SIlmaril XD

One one hand, you are right about them being too high being a wonderful excuse for the Silmaril light working against Ancalagon but not affecting the armies down below

On the other hand

Eärendil’s deadly magnifying glass

This is not exactly what was requested, but te prompt got me wondering what kind of person Dite would fall in love with after mending his broken heart, and this is all I could think of...

This was drawn as a treat for @allcanonisrelative for the @hamiathesgiftexchange!

Irene and Sophos enjoying some time off, an illustration inside my gift fic 'Between the mountains and the sea' for @saessenach for the @hamiathesgiftexchange!

I stood there thinking of the Namreen hunting me and the rewards they would post. Or maybe they’d found my master’s plaque next to the slave dead under the rockslide and no one was looking for me at all." — Thick as Thieves, chapter 10

This work was a gift fot @kareenvorbarra and @artino-c for the @hamiathesgiftexchange!

After reading @kareenvorbarra's What We Are Allowed, I have been thinking a lot about how Laela must have felt when she heard Kamet was supposed to have died in a rockslide...

The bracelet is the one Kamet buys for her on chapter 1 of Thick as Thieves; the design is based on the description on the fic mentioned above.

This fancomic is a gift for @artino-c -- based on a prompt from last year's @hamiathesgiftexchange, but I only finished it this year!

[Transcript:

The first time I saw you, at the temple The plague had started, timid yet. Impossibly, you made everyone laugh, Including me.

The second time I saw you, you didn't see me. It was the solstice night, after the games. You were praying to a goddess with such tender devotion, You kissed her hands and I thought, I wish that were me.

The third time I saw you, I gave you my heart, Honest and bitter, That is, my wisdom. You gagged on it, But when I kissed you, you didn't protest. On the next day, with a crown on your head, You had no kisses or smiles for anyone And I thought, Good.

The last time I saw you Was yesterday. You were happy, And so was I. You kissed me Not like you kiss your husband Not like you kiss your god Not like you kiss your sister You kissed me like only you could kiss me And I smiled because I knew You would kiss me again.]

Some art based on @hoeratius's AU fic [La belle dame sans mercy], where Gen and Irene marry different people and live to regret it :'D

1 Chapter 10 -- Among many liberties I took here, I put Irene in a stool instead of a chair (because I didn't want to draw a chair...)

2 "Oh, it's you, Eugenides." -- Chapter 16

3 Attolia and Attolis

4 Eugenides and Agape

5 "He stood on the balcony threshold, just inside the cover of the curtain like a child hiding behind his mother’s skirts." -- Chapter 10

6 "‘Better’ turned out to mean Eddisian linen so fine it was easy to see the shape of his arms right through it. It was covered by a sleeveless tunic in dark blue, so closely woven that it kept Sophos warm despite its light appearance." -- Chapter 16

Extra: first version I did of the first picture out of memory, then scrapped once I reread the scene again and realized the vibes were completely wrong:

Some doodles based on hippolytas' (very funny) pirates AU fic, [Bring me that horizon]... Something about Irene with a straw hat really captivated me as you can see!
