Quick drawing. Maeglin for @swordsmithofgondolin

Thank you so much for your kind words and your Glorestor fanart! I've read your message many times, and it gave me more motivation to continue drawing. I'm glad my art could bring you happiness. And it's good to hear that you read Akayona and like Kye-sook (he means a lot to me)

Dating Maeglin Would Include...

↬ You need to be very patient when it comes to dating this affection-starved elf. He’s been through a lot and has been traumatized; advance with care.

↬ In this relationship, you’re going to be the one in charge because he doesn’t truly understand how a relationship works. The only ones he’s ever known were his parents.

↬ He’s going to come to you for help, even though he's shy, he trusts that your answers and ideas are right and the best.

↬ You are his safe haven; thus, he is going to be glued to your side a lot. He does lots of gauging when it comes to your reaction, terrified that he may have offended you in some way with his words or actions because he understands that you are both from different cultures with knowledge of his mother’s.

↬ With that being said, you’re going to have to show him the ropes of things around the city. If he’s unsure about something, you are the first person he’s rushing to question.

↬ As a blacksmith, he enjoys crafting items for you. Consider it his way of reciprocating his gratitude and love for you. He's big on the actions speak louder than words in the beginning.

↬ He doesn’t have a problem with the dates you prepare for him because any time spent with you is more than enough, however, he has a slight preference for quiet dates.

↬ He mostly enjoys walks or picnics since it’s a moment where you two can openly converse about anything and also be affectionate with one another.

↬ About affections, he does understand what it’s all about but doesn’t know how to reciprocate them properly without appearing awkward. He is also touch-starved, so at the beginning of the relationship, you’ll have to keep it simple.

↬ He enjoys interlocking pinkies with you; it’s not too intense to make him feel overwhelmed, it’s just right.

↬ Hugging and giving each other kisses on the cheek came months later into the relationship, and even then, it was you who initiated it because he was unsure.

↬ He loves the feeling of returning from a meeting and melting into your warm embrace. Your scent, warmth and aura are just comforting. Makes him forget about all the stress.

↬ He does get jealous when others try to speak to you when you’re conversing with him or when he sees someone attempting to flirt with you. Even though you decline their request because you only have eyes for him, he does get insecure.

↬ He knows he’s different and understands why you’d prefer someone instead of him, so you’re going to have to do lots of talking to reassure him that you aren’t planning on leaving him.

↬ Your relationship with him is going to be a building block, you both need to take your time and be patient due to his past traumatic life.

Tonight's random horrible Eol/Curvo AU that came to me (sadder and more violent than usual)

Celegorm and Curufin have an argument in Himlad about Curufin's failed love life.

Curufin disappears after a fit of rage that sends him into the forest to be alone.

After a few days, he sends out search parties, to no avail.

Celegorm keeps trying and eventually sends a letter to Maedhros. Maedhros is furious and worried.

They send out more search parties. The one to the borders of Nan Elmoth never comes back.

Celegorm goes to search himself and finds the edges of the forest silent and devoid of animal life, with thick trees blocking any path forward.

Further beyond those trees, he sees a glint of silver. All that remains of his scouts is a single sword wrapped in vines.

Celegorm tries to push past, climbing over every obstacle, but the enchanted forest refuses to grant him entry. He's forced to give up. Maedhros's forces gave up years ago, having the Siege of Angband to occupy them instead.

He grieves for his brother, until one day when some of his soldiers report Curufin riding north out of Nan Elmoth.

Celegorm meets him halfway. Except, it isn't Curufin. He struggles to say a word when the elf appears, a carbon-copy of his younger brother in all but the eyes, which are dark and troubled. Against his chest is a small elfling with a cold stare and Curufin's frown.

The elf, barely an adult, introduces himself as Celebrimbor and the younger one as his brother Maeglin. Curufin's sons. He has Curufin's sword by his side and Curufin's favorite rings on his fingers.

He claims that Curufin is dead, slain by Eol months before. He'd told his sons of their family and the silmarils before he led them to escape. The forest was too tainted by evil, and the three were caught by vines and roots before they'd gotten far. Eol had killed Curufin in a fit of rage then and taken his sons back and locked them up. Clever Celebrimbor bided his time, then took his brother and escaped whilst Eol was away and spilled his blood on the trees along the way, satisfying their dark urges.

Celegorm invites them back to the settlement and has rooms prepared for them and a healer brought.

He waits until they're settled in and safe before arming himself to the teeth and setting up watches around the border.

A few days later, Eol appears. Celegorm strikes him down without a word, planting his spear through the other elf's heart. Eol curses him and his entire family as he dies.

The body is burned and Celegorm goes back home. Celebrimbor stares when he sees the blood covering his uncle's hands but says nothing.

Celegorm writes to his brothers and raises his nephews like his own sons. They're spoiled and praised by their uncles. Relations with Doriath have never been worse.

In the end, death and darkness claims them all. Maeglin dies during their escape in the Dagor Bragollach, and Celebrimbor's kind heart brings him to ruin in Eregion.

rare pair bingo

⸙ Prompt: Leather | Mairon x Maeglin ⸙ Synopsis: Mairon awakens something inside Maeglin. ⸙ Warnings: Dom/sub undertones ⸙ Double drabble

There has always been this feeling inside of him, Maeglin remembers, this vague yet undeniable feeling that he is different and needs, longs for something that he doesn't quite understand. 

But there was no time to search, not when he was Eöl's son, not when he was King Turgon's nephew, not when loneliness consumed him. All he could do was dream. 

Yet now that Maeglin sees Mairon like this, he feels irresistibly drawn to him, like moth to flame. The Maia is clad in leather so tight that every muscle, every curve, every angle of his fána is visible, like a smooth, black layer of skin. His upper body is bare, save for a few straps of leather hugging his chest as if to mockingly imitate proper clothing and a collar of sorts that bears his symbol, the flaming eye. 

In his hands, he holds a whip. The very same leather, black and spotless. Maeglin can imagine its crack even before it's been used.

Mairon smiles, tempting and triumphant. Of course he has already noticed how the Elf looks at him. 

"Well, Maeglin?" he asks smoothly, unrolling his whip. "If this is to your liking, would you like to play?" 

Thanks for reading! ♡

Descendants of finwë (incl. kidnapped children): sons and daughters of fëanor, fingolfin and finarfin

[velvet4510]

I love how Tolkien always punishes the men who mistreat women in Middle-earth. For all the evidence of sexism in his work, besides the amazing female characters he does include, fate in Arda always rewards chivalry and punishes sexual abuse.

One of many things that make Aragorn a hero is that he remains faithful to Arwen, even when being pursued by another woman.

One of many things that make Faramir a hero is that he treats Éowyn as an equal and showers her with the respect she deserves.

And both men live long, happy lives.

Whereas the chauvinists have…different outcomes.

Eöl is punished by death for being so awful a husband to Aredhel that she and their son had to flee from him.

Maeglin himself intentionally gets Gondolin destroyed just because he is lusting after Idril and trying to steal her when she is happily married to someone else, and his ultimate kidnapping attempt causes him to end up at the bottom of a cliff.

Ar-Pharazôn’s comeuppance for forcing Tar-Míriel into marriage and stealing her rightful crown is a total wipeout by Eru Ilúvatar himself.

Tolkien really said “Predators and abusive husbands shall never go unpunished.” 🎉👏🏻

From the combined braincell of @animeandbooksarelife and I, bc she is incredibly good at words and very good at cohesive narrative, while I sure do know how to draw. It took me so long though, you can see my art skills substantially develop and also my artstyle change. It's actually really neat if you ask me.
