thinking about maedhros directly post thangorodrim. being chained alone to the mountain for all that time reads (to me, at least) as something within the paradigm of solitary confinement (among other things). and morgoth obviously wasn't allowing him visitors or attorney calls. (are there even lawyers in any context in first age beleriand? was that a thing? never mind, I digress)

in terms of how this might impact him I would be interested to see a maedhros who goes from being self-sufficient and a relative introvert to someone who cannot stand being alone. thirty years may seem like a blink of the eye to an immortal, but even extremely short periods in solitary can have lasting psychological effects, especially if there's no guarantee of release (which in maedhros's case there certainly was not). in the company of others, maedhros is lucid. a little off, maybe, but he's able to carry conversations, complete requisite tasks, juggle diplomacy and strategy and whatever kind of physical therapy exists in beleriand. but alone, maedhros becomes again what he was on thangorodrim, and that is not a version of himself that he has any desire to be. there's still a war going on and an oath to fulfill, after all.

Artist rant:

I don't really like how it turned out, but i don't have the energy to try better for now. I feel like the light shapes are messed up, and don't actually seem like leaf gaps, but more like a messy and incoherent shapes.

Any and all tips and critiques are very welcome! I want to get better, especially at digital art.

not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping

"shipping discourse" but it's in 2nd-Age Numenor and the major opinions are "boats are making this country great" vs "boats are destroying the environment and also my marriage"

I like to think Celegorm gets humbled quite often with how easily his 8 foot tall older brother can put him in an inescapable headlock and keep him there indefinitely

'golden flower' - oil on canvas, 2023

A little about the painting: i drew this one after i first read about him in The Silmarilion (of course i knew him in LOTR before) and i was inspired by his death. I mean, being killed by being pulled down by his hair is something that i found quite irritated at that time 😅. So i want my dude to rest in peace, surrounded with flower and green (i was biased, i know. I was in love with him after reading LOTR) 😋

I wish i have more time to make more oil painting 🥲
