The Girdle of Melian

Greetings! I am Elu Thingol. I am Lord of Doriath and High King of Beleriand. If thou are a friend then you are welcome to seek rest within my lands - but beware those with ill intent! I will not suffer evil! (Indi RP of Thingol - book version but alive. Will RP with all and welcome asks. Will follow back fellow RP's. Hover over Elvish for translation. Tracked tags: thingolgreycloak & thingol)

has this been done

[absynthe--minded]

as much as I appreciate the fact that there are people in the Silmarillion fandom who are willing to see Melian as more culpable and responsible for various ills than the text seems to indicate, I feel like this comes at the expense of an aspect of Elu’s character that I wish more of us would explore

namely, Elwë Singollo, Monster Fucker

this guy comes upon a minor god in the woods, a god that we aren’t even told is in a recognizable human form, and his innate reaction is “I’d tap that”

then once the enchantment lifts (over them both, not just him) and his free will is back in action they immediately get to babymaking and kingdom building

not only that, it’s his descendants that are interested in interspecies romance

he’s the equivalent of a Tumblr blogger crushing on Venom, only he got his wish

you go, Elu

never stop for anything

"I would so love to stay, my lord, but I think it would be fair to let you know who I am and ask whether you would still want me around. If I uncover myself, could you promise me my safety?"

“That I can reassure you of, you have my word,” he nodded, eyes looking up at the grey-one from the jewellery he now placed back in the box his guard held out. 

“Contrary to what you may have thought, or have been told, I do not have tendency to cause harm to any that enter the kingdom, not even those who come with less than fair words against me or my kin. Nay, the only blood shed would be that of my enemy who would give me cause for defence. 

“However, I will also be truthful in that I have not had any reason yet to forgive those who have indeed caused so much pain and suffering...so should you be one of them you will not be allowed to leave.”

@thingolgreycloak

Yes it’s so scary. The guy who hides behind his wife’s magic barrier is ‘biding his time’.

[thingolgreycloak]

One who wanders the shores of the world in a doom of his own making through inflicting so much pain and suffering upon others...yes...indeed I shall surely be taking any advice from one such as yourself...

And the barrier was put in place to keep you and your aggressive brethren out.

"I will only leave a gift for my fair lord, and then, with my lord's permission, I will leave." The stranger held out a blue box to one of the lord's servants to pass to him. Inside, there was a silver circlet adorned by diamonds, and a matching necklace, both shining like stars in the night. "Tis my own work, my lord. There is no treachery behind it. Now, I would like to bid you farewell."

The king blinked and slowly reached to accept the gift. 

He might seem cold and calculating. Straight-laced and sharp tonged. And those things could be true; for the events he had seen in his long life had made him suspicious and he found trust had come all too often before a betrayal, oft with the most dire of consequences.

However, he was enamoured with beauty of all kinds and shining brightly within the box the bearer held out the pieces were indeed magnificent. Simply designed and yet the jewels held there sparkled as he drew the circlet out to inspect. 

He smiled. Genuinely.

“This is a most generous gift, especially as it is freely given and I have done naught to deserve gifts in an age. you have my sincere thanks and you are free to have stay a while. should you wish.”

[thingolgreycloak]

My lord, I just wanted to tell you that you are the embodiment of beauty and grace, and your taste in jewelry is flawless. I have always admired you so *_*

His eyes crinkled very slightly and lips quirked the same, along with a small nod in acknowledgement. This grey-one may stay. For now. I do hope their flattery is sincere and not a ploy…

“Le hannon mellon nin, most kind of you to comment thus. I would that those  who venture within these lands come with their face shown if they can see fit, though I will allow it at this time as long as I see no cause to revoke the invitation. I do hope you have found those here hospitable.”

He looked to a guard at his side as indication both to provide this hospitality…and see how the grey-face had entered unseen…

“In Beleriand, King Thingol upon his throne was as the lords of the Maiar whose power is at rest, whose joy is as an air that they breathe in all their days, whose thought flows in a tide untroubled from the heights to the deeps.” The Silmarillion, JRR Tolkien

A request for Beleg and Turin that I got…HALF A YEAR AGO I THINK UGH I’M SO SORRY I can’t believe I’m so slow at dealing with these things ;A; I lost the message but I believe it was from thoughtsupnorth! I’m sorry it’s such a mess, I hope you like it!! ♥ I have a fondness for pictures of Beleg with young Turin, so I couldn’t help but drawing them like this. Turin is trying to act like his grumpy teenager self but can’t really hide that he likes Beleg’s coddling :>

  But the Elves also had their part in that labour, and Elves and Dwarves together, each with their own skill, there wrought out the visions of Melian, images of the wonder and beauty of Valinor beyond the Sea. The pillars of Menegroth were hewn in the likeness of the beeches of Oromë, stock, bough, and leaf, and they were lit with lanterns of gold. The nightingales sang there as in the gardens of Lórien; and there were fountains of silver, and basins of marble, and floors of many-colored stones. Carven figures of beasts and birds there ran upon the walls, or climbed upon the pillars, or peered among the branches entwined with many flowers. And as the years passed Melian and her maidens filled the halls with woven hangings wherein could be read the deeds of the Valar, and many things that had befallen in Arda since its beginning, and the shadows of things that were yet to be. That was the fairest dwelling of any king that has ever been east of the Sea.
