#idril

[aureentuluva70]

Ulmo, in his elaborate matchmaking effort to make sure Earendil was born, looked at Tuor and Idril and said "THIS SHIP WILL SAIL AND NEVER SINK" and then personally made sure of that, sending Earrame straight to Valinor and getting Tuor immortality so he and Idril could stay together forever.

Ulmo, despite being single, and besides from being the Lord of Waters, is also the Lord of Ships, in more ways than one.

we as a fandom don't talk enough about the fact that idril fought with a sword in the tale of the fall of gondolin

[istaricelebelasse]

Elves being able to see a whole spectrum of colours that mortals can’t.

Elves wearing the gaudiest possible colour combinations… that just look white to mortals.

Beren genuinely not understanding a conversation he overhears between Finrod and Celegorm about gaudy colours and clashing clothes because to him they are just wearing white. Plain white. And ok maybe the jewellery is a little excessive but also not the worst he’s seen on Finrod (there’s no nauglamir for one).

Tuor repeatedly being assured that Gondolin is actually quite bright and colourful, it just looks like everything is white to him. He doesn’t understand it, but he accepts it. Especially when Idril starts wearing more colours he can see.

Arwen taking advantage of this same thing Ages of the world later to wear the Most Hideous Outfits possible and watch the elven ambassadors squirm.

Concept: Earendil, slayer of Ancalgon, gets to decide what to do with the body. He has a few ideas.

A set of dragon scale armor for himself; for safety when fighting giant void monsters

Some lovely, shimmering dragon's horn jewelry for Elwing, who deserves all the shiny things

A set of dragon tooth daggers for Idril, who deserves to be able to commit violence

A dragon bone sword for Elros because that's sick as fuck

A dragon bone ocarina for Elrond that is definitely not a passive aggressive dig at anyone else who may or may not have given his child an instrument

(Look Earendil learned to play the ocarina from Voronwe when he was young passing it on is important to him)

And the rest of the corpse? Well, let's just say Elwing and Earendil's lighthouse back in Valinor has a very unusual foundation

And some very interesting architectural features

AU where Aredhel founded Gondolin and Eol nabbed Turgon (and little idril)

ive had vague concepts for the lords for gondolin floating around my noggin since late 2021, but never really sat down to get em drawn... so during my hiatus i figured i should stop sitting on it after 2917382 years 😴 tho mostly i just wanted to do another relationship chart bc the first three i made in june were! so!! fun!!!

let me know if the text is too hard to read... hopefully it wont be on desktop but ill see what i can do if need be 👍

i had a lot of fun with these batch of concepts so below is an extra comic and a sketch page:

extra 2: just some bonus rough sketches of the lords' possible dynamics w/ others prior to the darkening?? i write fanfiction in my head 25 hours a day bc i forgot how to do so with actual stories HAHAHA

Ereinion Gil-Galad, son of Fingon, Idril and Earendil in the Havens of Sirion. First meeting.

[echo-bleu]

Quiet morning in Gondolin.

Idril is sketching her secret tunnels before court opens, and Eärendil wants to imitate his mother in everything.

The sea lion plush is a stealthy reference to @mynameisjessejk 's otter mayhem, it was a gift from Tuor. The bust on the left is Elenwë, with a painting of Tirion above, because Idril barely remembers either but Turgon doesn't want her to forget.

I don't know who originated the fanon bit about Idril having literal silver feet, but I of course couldn't resist. Which of course led to way too much research on balancing functionality and aesthetics on prosthetics, because Idril deserves beauty.

(all of my Disabled Tolkien Characters art and posts)

Her dress is inspired by the beautiful Cretian traditional gowns. I originally intended for this painting to be more pastel-coloured to feel peaceful, but my brain went "no, shiny!" and who am I to say no to that.

Made for the Gondolin discord server calendar!

Some details because I went all in on this one.
