Celebaros Tirthalion & Halthiras Thurinion

I love my Elf Boys so much, more art was inevitable. And I love the way @naarisz draws LotR Elves, so when she opened commissions again, I HAD TO. They look so gooood. 😍💕

Celebaros Tirthalion, the Dauntless Defender ~~~

Today is apparently Celebaros day, look at this fabulous art I have of him from @captainderyn! She did such a good job with my Elf lad; the hair, the clothes, his expression *chef’s kiss* PERFECTION❣

From the weird OC asks:

Do they give tough love or gentle love most often? Which do they prefer to receive? For Hira and Cele?

How loosely or strictly do they use the word ‘friend’? for Hal and Aelin?

and What subject / topic do they know a lot about that’s completely useless to the direct plot? for Rhia?

Also, if there's one you've been particularly excited to answer and haven't gotten yet -- here's an excuse! Also PS I'm so taken with all of their designs wowow 😍

First off, I love that you split the Elves up that way, bc even if Hal and Hira are siblings, personality/vibes-wise it would be Hal & Aelin, Hira & Cele. xD

Do they give tough love or gentle love most often? Which do they prefer to receive? For Hira and Cele?

Hira is a forthright and tough love kind of girl. She's going to be bluntly honest, would like it if people return the favor for her. Definitely the type to prefer hard truth over easy lies.

Cele it sort of depends? He leans naturally more toward giving tough-but-well-intentioned love, but he knows he does better receiving gentle love so he tries to read a situation to see which will work better rather than just default to tough love all the time.

How loosely or strictly do they use the word ‘friend’? for Hal and Aelin?

Well, Hal considers Aelin his friend after he spends a couple thousand years talking to her while she's asleep and not contributing to the conversation, so he uses it pretty loosely. (He helps her friend Harthalín keep vigil while Aelin's recovering from being stabbed with a morgul blade High Elf intro yay) He also shrugs and rolls with it when Esmerelda Boffin declares him her friend after they've known each other, like, 6 hours and spent most of that time catching frogs and pranking her cousins sooooo :D

Aelin is a little more strict with it, just bc she's more withdrawn, especially in her recovery phase. She doesn't have a high threshold on being a 'friend' exactly, it's more that she prefers solitude while getting caught up on 3000 years of history and that's overwhelming enough without having people be all chatty and social with you. So she tends to shy away from people entirely in search of quiet. Part of how she and Hal become actual friends after she wakes up is bc he's 100% happy to just sit and read in the same room together and similar activities. There is she wants to talk, but also happy leaving things quiet.

What subject / topic do they know a lot about that’s completely useless to the direct plot? for Rhia?

She is extremely--and I do mean extremely--interested in and knowledgeable about lace-making. She loves to sew and all adjacent activities(so knit, crochet, quilt, weave etc), but lace-making became an area of special interest for her and she started learning everything she could about it, all the techniques available, which styles are more common in different areas, all of that.

For that bonus: What do they notice first in the mirror versus what most people first notice looking at them? with Tera

Tera first notices her teeth. She has a little bit of a gap between her upper front teeth that feels super noticeable to her, but hardly anyone else even registers, and the ones who do think it's cute. Other people notice either the red hair or the eyes first, since she has hazel/grey heterochromia.

Weirdly Specific OC Asks

I need y'all to know I'm very very pleased with myself for naming Cele's peacock "Swan".😂😂😂

Guess who hit level fifteen todayyyy? :D Tirthalion roughly translates to “dauntless watcher/protector” so that’s perfect for my blondie boy.🥰

Who also got new duds/discovered rust dye looks amazing on his breastplate

(I like the cloak of illumination, and the shorter cut makes more sense for a warden, but this is so pretty!)

My alt-oholic tendencies haaaave struck again /fingerguns

This is Celebaros, a Warden hailing from Mirkwood, made bc I was trying to remember the elf intro quest stuff + wanted a character on Landroval. Warden is very fun so far, I kicked a bat in the face and it died. Look at him, he’s so pretty.

I only played him up to level 5, but I’m love him already. 🥰🥰🥰 Might nudge his hair a touch more strawberry-blond when I get a shot at a barber.
