The Kiss - Beleg and Túrin

Art made for me by an old friend, Alex.

Inspired by Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss".

Elrond really couldn't even be Aragorn's godparent without renaming him something that started with an E (Estel) to fit in with the family theme/tradition.

havenotwillnotreadthebooks

Earendil -> Elros & Elrond -> Elladan & Elrohir & Estel / (Aragorn & Arwen)

I may be wrong but wasn’t Arwen&Aragorn’s first kid named an “E” name too? Eldarion or something.

for quite some time now ive wanted to redesign some of my existing maiar designs as well as give proper designs to some ive never really bothered with before, so here's some updated fullbody concepts! im happiest with mairon's honestly, but i really like the idea of olorin being a haggled, minimalistic shepherd who walks around valinor covered in dirt HAHAHAH

i also wanted to explore some of their potential dynamics with each other 😙 esp eonwe-ilmare and mairon-arien as siblings so these are just some quick doodles cuz my neck is in pa i n

compiled fullbody ref sheet under the cut 💃

people misunderstand what ‘gifted kid’ actually means but it’s ok it’s fine it’s cool it’s good

thespoonisvictory

it’s not about actually being gifted, it’s about an initial higher scoring on standardized testing that means little to nothing or being good at learning in the way elementary and middle school wants you to, so you get marked as ‘advanced’. in reality, maybe you had faster development in certain areas, but the issue with being a gifted kid isn’t that “everyone told me I was so cool and special for reading and then I actually wasn’t :(” it’s “I wasn’t properly taught to handle things not coming easily to me, but the adults around me were counting on me not being a ‘difficult’ child in school.”

people who use it as some weird bragging method or interpret it that way are ignoring the way a lot of school systems force certain roles on students to simplify the learning process. If your kid doesn’t need to take notes to understand a science concept bc they get it naturally, well that’s good, but now you’re not teaching them how to take notes and they’re not learning that important soft skill. but because ‘gifted’ kids are easy and don’t show that they’re falling behind in learning in other categories that are harder to quantify, they eventually fall behind after that catches up to them. It’s about the failures of a one size fits all school system trying to compensate in the worst way possible.

And also the thing where ‘gifted’ kids are super likely to also be neuroatypical, which they don’t get screened for because they appear to be doing well in school. Or “You can’t be ADHD/autistic/etc, because you’re doing so well in school!”. Or being shamed for developing mental health issues/generally not being able to keep up with school work later, because you USED TO BE able to do it just fine.

Or the assumption that just because you can read well or you like math class, you’re somehow more EMOTIONALLY mature than your little kid brain is actually capable of being.

Or gifted kids whose parents and teachers put immense pressure on them to Do Great Things and Save The World and you’re like. “I’m 10 and I have no idea how to do that, but everyone is saying that’s my job?”.

This is the best “gifted kid” post out there. I never took notes until college because I didn’t have to, snd when it got challenging I had to literally teach myself note taking at age 18. It also fucks with your perception of asking for help - you’re advanced, you’re competent, you should be able to understand every topic easily. Asking for help/going to office hours/asking for a tutor feels like failing when you were praised in your early years for not needing to do that.

#im failing subjects i used to be good at bc i dont know how to learn #and then get shamed for not knowing how to learn properly at this age

Celegorm: *Going absolutely feral*

Elf: You shouldn't have your kid on a leash! It's so wrong!

Maedhros: Don't get close to him. He bites.

Elf: He's a kid! It doesn't- OW!

Maedhros: I tried to warn you. And he's not my kid, that's my brother.

Fun fact:

"Dog" in Middle Quenya is "huan" (glossed as such in 1930's Etymologies).

Which means, you guessed it, Tyelkormo Feanarion, son of a renowned labengolmo, named his magical, given by a Vala dog "Dog". And, quite frankly, should be recognized for that

Arwen: What was the first age like?

Erestor: cold black coffee without sugar or milk. R-Rated comedy and drama TV-shows. Stressed protagonist who's splashing water on his face in a bathroom. Gang fights. Tax fraud. Family drama. Gender rituals. Committing treason. Bad hair routine. Necromancy. Imsomnia and sleep deprivation. Orc-hunting as a form of anger release. Cultural Erasure. Essays written over shiny stones. Simping for long-haired blond elven princes. Bad-written romance novels. One (1)! Well-written romance novel, but just the one. Stabbing. Dogs. Meetings that could've been emails. Food shortages. Life shortages. Loads of paperwork. Isolation. Curses. Pissed diplomats. Unethical and immoral life choises. Low birth rates. High death rates. Bard drama. Emotional damage.
