if you try to break me, you will bleed by Dialux

It had been a slash across her chest from a White Walker’s sword that finally ended her life. Sansa’d landed in a puddle of her own blood, and she’d died quickly, quietly.

And then she’d awoken with a gasp, trembling, in a bed that had burned under Theon’s betrayal.

My thoughts: !!! Good!! Fic!!! The women are empowered!!! We love to see it!! Genuinely tho I don’t know anything about Game of Thrones so I can’t vouch for its character compliance. But I liked this a lot!!!

🔥 hm okay I rly want to know what you think abt social media (in general- not just fandom)

it's doubtless that they've created problems for people, like the lowered attention spans, the way they're used for propaganda and scams in novel new ways, the radicalisation etc, but it's pointless and sanctimonious to go like omg those YouNg PeOplE with their SoCiaL MeDia. it's like saying omg those young people and their video games. there's never going to be a world where social media no longer exists now, short of the world wide web catching a new millennium bug and going offline forever. it's just that education about it, regulations for it, haven't entirely caught up with this truth and many people haven't quite managed to move past the "this is a malady" stage of things.

Hi! I absolutely adore all your art, it’s always so sweet or absolutely tears my heart out (in a good way) and your style’s so lovely! I was wondering, do you have a design for Findis or Lalwen?

nonnies!!! apologies for the delay, but thank you so so much for your sweet words and request 🥰 it tears MY heart out whenever u guys take time to send in such kind feedback so like... THANK YOU WAAA 🥺😭 i always appreciate the requests too, cuz if i didnt get prompts from u guys 3/4 of my posts would be maedhros lmao

as such, here are my designs for findis and lalwen!

and as per tradition, sketch pageeee 💃

thoughts n ramblings under the cut (plus expanded credit to @dialux for her influence + a little update at the very end)

- now this was a bit hard to answer at first cuz i had like ZERO ideas on how to do findis and lalwen lmao (they were done so dirty by being cut out of the silm waUGh)

- but over the months i had a better idea of Findis, mostly thanks to @dialux 's AMAZING findis character study on ao3 !!! definitely read it if you havent already bc her findis is just,,, SO well written hhHHhh 💓 ngl she's practically my canon findis by now!

- so!! the parts abt feanor and findis' relationship, and findis' singing, and short-haired findis are all inspired and pulled from her fic (and she tackles it way WAY better than i could ever so AGAIN i would highly recommend reading it 🥰)

- admittedly from there i did end up diverging a little down my own path of hcs (e.g the songstress bit) so Dia i hope u dont mind !! 🙏

- i kind of played by ear with Lalwen, and so she just came to me as I was sketching... there were some other hcs i have of her that i physically cannot draw (such as her being a skilled equestrian) but tl;dr all u gotta know is that under her skirt she's wearing breeches and tall riding boots

- i wanted to give her a messier fringe, but in the end she's become my 13795th elf who has a middle parting :'D (is this a curse of morgoth's? somewhere out there the discord peeps are sighing in disapproval BAHAHA)

- all in all im ENAMOURED with exploring the finwean aunties' relationships with their nephews and nieces! perhaps one day...

update update: im back home but some things are going down IRL that have me a little 😬 so I might be inactive for a few more days! To those who've left comments or messaged me privately, I'm really really sorry I haven't gotten back yet but I promise I'll respond as soon as I'm able!! 😙💓

the line of elros ♚ royalty of númenor ♚ headcanon disclaimer ♚ inspiration

          Tar-Calmacil was the eighteenth King of Númenor. His mother Tári-Avaldë raised him to disdain the will of the Valar, and though he was crowned with his Quenya name, he was an ardent member of the King’s Men and conducted his court in the Adûnaic tongue, and his supporters called him Ar-Belzagar.           Ar-Belzagar renewed Númenor’s focus on imperialism, further expanding their influence in Middle-earth. Though this resulted in Sauron retreating further to the east, it also brought great turmoil and suffering to the Middle Men, whom he pillaged and plundered on his conquests.           Calmacil married young, to his sweetheart Naltanárië, and they were madly in love for many years before politics came between them. Naltanárië was of the Faithful, and though she hoped to influence her husband to soften his persecution of her people, her attempts proved unsuccessful as Ar-Belzagar grew more and more wicked, forcing upon her the name Arî-Aglazôri and threatening her life should she continue to defy him.           But Naltanárië would not be cowed. She went behind her husband’s back to preach faith in the Valar, friendship to the elves, and compassion for the Faithful, not truly believing that Tar-Calmacil would make good on his threats. Alas, Ar-Belzagar grew so wrathful that he arrested her and promised to execute her as a public example should she not repent of her words. True to her values, Naltanárië met her end with pride, burning at the stake in a horrific display of Númenor’s decline into darkness.           Even the King’s Men looked askance at this atrocious act, turning against Ar-Belzagar and to his sons Abattârik and Gimilzagar. Though both young men were, like their father, haughty and ambitious, they loved their mother and refused to accept her execution as just. Abattârik hungered to take the throne as early as he could, that he might, as he saw it, better the nation, and using their grief at Naltanárië’s death he manipulated his younger brother into avenging her with the sword.           Upon Ar-Belzagar’s murder, Gimilzagar was now the target of the ire of all Númenor. With false sorrow, the newly-crowned Tar-Ardamin, known to the King’s Men as Ar-Abattârik, held a trial for his brother and declared that he also would meet his end. Betrayed, Gimilzagar spoke against Abattârik, but the people were satisfied that justice had at last been done, and he was lawfully executed before a great crowd of Númenóreans, including his wife and daughter.
