Welcome! I’m pretty new to the Silm fandom, but feel free to say hi! I’m a bit shy and work and other real life obligations keep from being as active on Tumblr as I’d like to be, but I don’t bite and am happy to meet new people, even if it might take me a while to reply.
I also post art and fic occasionally:

The story about why Caranthir lives so far away from his brothers.
Tell me if the translation has errors…
talking about singing, have some canon. Poor, naked Finrod and Sauron who I imagine as a kind of ghost in this version.
have you seen the last hobbit? Galadriel being powerful and stuff? now think Sauron has just stripped down her oldest brother the other time. ouch

Happy Tumblr Milestone Saturday, congrats!!!
If you're up for a fic prompt, any thoughts on Maedhros playing a musical instrument?
thelordofgifs answered:
Yikes so sorry this took three months to get to! Thank you for the prompt friend <3

“I think,” says Maedhros, “I should learn to play the harp.”
Maglor stops what he is doing and stares at him. “Nelyo.”
“What?” Maedhros says mildly. “It is a key part of my own history.”
Maglor’s face twists in distress. He turns his gaze back to his work, organising the little bottles of medicines and salves on the table.
“The fiddle, otherwise,” Maedhros suggests. “Or the flute?”
Maglor makes a small, unhappy sound, quickly stifled. That is not what Maedhros wanted. There were few memories he dared cling to, in Angband, scared that in turning them over too often he would rub away the details, or else that they would be snatched perforce from his mind; but he does remember the clear bright sound of Maglor’s laugh, which rang so often and easily through the streets of Tirion. He has not heard it once since his return.
Hard enough to realise he does not know himself any longer – but to find his little brother a stranger is nigh unbearable.
“I was joking, Káno,” he says. “I know I cannot play with only one hand.”
“Oh,” says Maglor. He smiles bravely, although his eyes are wet. “I knew that.”
“Come and sit,” Maedhros says, and then flinches – it sounds like an order, and what right has he to give orders?

Ah thank you so much, that is very sweet of you! ☺️ I’ve had a pretty shitty day and this made me smile! Thank you! 💕
@tolkienofcolourweek day one | ainur | the blue wizards
Their task was to circumvent Sauron: to bring help to the few tribes of Men that had rebelled from Melkor-worship, to stir up rebellion and after his first fall to search out his hiding (in which they failed) and to cause dissension and disarray among the dark East... They must have had very great influence on the history of the Second Age and Third Age in weakening and disarraying the forces of East who would both in the Second Age and Third Age otherwise have.outnumbered the West.
Naming my cat Finrod was honestly one of my best life decisions. Mainly because it leads to quite peculiar statements on a daily basis:
Finrod is hiding in the closet again.
I spent two hours cuddling with Finrod instead of doing work. No regrets.
Finrod is shy at first, but just let him observe you for a while, he’ll come on his own, and then you’ll never be rid of him.
Finrod Felagund, Lord of Nargothrond, stop chewing that plant!
me: I've given Finrod 3 different types of food today, and he licks each one a little, walks away, and looks at me like he's starving to death.
friend: You should just let him be.
me: I can't. I have a compulsion to please him.
Appalled, after finding a bloodied pile of fur on my porch:
Omg, Fin, what is this?! Baby, thank you for the gift, but…
he slow-blinks, rubs himself against my leg, and there’s nothing I can do about it
melestasflight asked:
well, I have to ask about your WIP "Tenn' Ambar-metta"
Sounds very doomed and my eyes are wide open. Do tell 😄
I’m afraid I have to disappoint you if you were hoping for something very doomed 😄
There is an in-fic reason why this is the working title (will probably also end up being the actual title), but the story itself is actually about healing and… wedding planning 😅
There are some darker and emotionally heavy themes to the story as well, but at its core, it’s a post canon fix-it of sorts, in which Fingon and Maedhros decide to get married officially. A big royal wedding, the whole shebang. But of course things are never just that simple for them, because there is family drama and elf politics to deal with, as well as history and trauma that wasn’t simply erased in the Halls of Mandos.
The story is heavily focused on Maedhros’ and Fingon’s relationships with their various family members (and also a couple of people not related to them) during the time leading up to their wedding, so the cast of characters is unsurprisingly very large.
(And as a fun challange, I want every Finwëan to have at least one line of dialogue in this).
So yeah, this is shaping up to be the longest thing I’ve ever written and it just keeps growing.
I have no idea when I’ll actually get around to posting this, because for my peace of mind I need to have at least a rough draft completed before I can even consider doing that and I keep changing my mind on some things. Hopefully some time within the next decade 🤡
Thank you for the ask @melestasflight ❤️
Thus the sons of Feanor under Maedhros were the lords of East Beleriand, but their people were in that time mostly in the north of the land, and southward they rode only to hunt in the greenwoods. But there Amrod and Amras had their abode, and they came seldom northward while the Siege lasted; and there also other of the Elf-lords would ride at times, even from afar, for the land was wild but very fair.
grey-gazania asked:
How about Peredhel Problems?
Already answered Moryo and Mahtan here
Peredhel Problems is the placeholder title for a kidnap fam fic, about Maglor and Maedhros being confronted with the peculiarities of half-elven children (and two rather traumatized ones at that). I only have a vague outline of this fic and a few sentences, but it’s one I hope to finish within the next couple of months.
A Gil-Galad Russingonion ficlet set during the Long Peace. A winter time family get-together for Turuhalmë, basically. In which Maedhros’ brothers get to be the fun uncles, Fingolfin gets to do be a grandfather again* and Maedhros feels a bit melancholic and wishes his own parents were here as well.
*(I’m always a bit sad when I think about Fingolfin losing not just Turgon and Aredhel, but also Idril and him not even knowing of Maeglin’s existence, but at least he is able to spend time with little Ereinion here.)
Thank you for the asks @grey-gazania and @elentarial <3

The best way to break someone was to make them watch the slow destruction of something they loved. Unfortunately, Sauron had not captured any of Nelyafinwë’s brothers.
Fortunately, he could shapeshift.
There is nothing here but love
I decided to draw Aredhel and Celegorm. The mass of stories invented by fans of this couple touches me much more than the stories about Beren and Luthien
