for @tolkienwomensweek day 7 (a little late whoops!) unfortunately too busy to fully participate so this piece will remain a draft, but i still wanted to share a little something <3
support or commission me on kofi 🌿
"A sister they had, Galadriel, most beautiful of all the house of Finwë; her hair was lit with gold as though it had caught in a mesh the radiance of Laurelin."
The Silmarillion, Of Eldamar and the Princes of Eldalië
galadriel | artanis | nerwen | lady of lórien
and the hair of the Lady was of deep gold… but no sign of age was upon them, unless it were in the depths of their eyes; for these were keen as lances in the starlight, and yet profound, the wells of deep memory.

Some stuff for @celedrielweek
Partialy inspired by The Kiss by Henry John Stock (the 1894 oil paint version)
One problem I have with Tolkien’s approach toward Galadriel's characterization in The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales is that her desire for her own kingdom to rule is painted as a bad thing that she needs to let go of. She’s “proud” for wanting that kind of position and needs to be humbled enough to realize she shouldn’t. But the text never depicts Fingolfin or Fingon or Turgon or Finrod or Aragorn - or any of the male characters who become rulers - as wrong for having the same aspiration.
i like to think the cousins sparred together often in Aman. Galadriel and Aredhel for @finweanladiesweek
