@sindarweek Day Seven: Oropher, Thranduil, and Legolas
Couldn't finish Sindar Week without including the Greenwood fam! I don't know the timeline well enough to know if this is just headcanon or plausible, but I like the idea that Oropher got to meet his grandson before he died.
I think Oropher is one of those characters that gets treated a way in fandom. Hell, back in the day so did Thranduil, though, that mostly changed after the Hobbit movies came out.
Anyway, here they are having a nice family moment.
I had a lot of fun exploring the Sindar, I want to revisit these characters more in the future and there are plenty of Sindar elves I didn't get to this week
I'm most of the way the way through art I'd like to post for Imladris Week, and I'm about halfway through a Lords of Gondolin series, so we'll see how long my creativity holds out.
One old Thrandul clothes digital concept…

For Drabble Challenge: Thranduil and squirrels
Thank you for this request! I always love a Mirkwood prompt!
It was not often that Thranduil had the opportunity to leave his court and venture into the forest; he was too busy with protecting and restoring it to actually see it for himself. He might have laughed at the irony at a different time. Now, he only felt the cramped uneasiness as he navigated the dark, unwelcoming labyrinth of withering trees, and the deep heartsickness that came with it; Greenwood had once been a place of beauty and safety, but now it reeked of a curse Thranduil could not control. This was not the home of his childhood; he remembered playing here as a child, hunting quails and finding lizards and insects in the verdant underbrush, but now the forest was silent and still save for the great, spined insects whose only purpose was to feed on the decay of the wood. Thranduil might have wept of despair now, and his eyes were already growing misty, but suddenly a sharp, high noise pierced the air - the trill of a squirrel in the canopy. The King looked up just in time to see a small black squirrel dart from one branch to another, its thick tail flicking impatiently - and in another moment, it was followed by three more, only smaller and clumsier. Thranduil smiled as he watched the mother squirrel led her children through the twisted canopy as naturally as breathing; though they were gone as quickly as they had come, they left behind them the reminder that there was still life in Mirkwood Forest. Perhaps that meant there was still hope.
This is a longer sort of drabble, but I had so much fun writing it!!

Beautiful rendition of a young "Prince" Thranduil, by artist Brilcrist!
Book!Thranduil really was like:
Thranduil: *catches dwarves, a race his people isn’t that friendly with, trespassing on their land during a celebration* why are y’all infiltrating our territory?
Dwarves: fuck you
Thranduil: alright, imma put you in the time-out corner until you’re ready to talk.
Several days and 1 dragon later
Dwarves: even thought we screwed the humans over, got many of them killed, destroyed their homes, and could have potentially destroyed even more because we awoke a dragon and proceeded to not lift a finger to fight it, we will not share a dime of our treasure with you!
Humans: fuck you give us some money! At this point, we should just kill you and take it all ourselves for all the grief you’ve caused us!
Thranduil: jesus fucking christ-
Thranduil: NO ONE’S KILLING ANYONE FOR MONEY
Thranduil: Let’s calm down, children. We can talk this out like grown adults.
Bilbo: *tries to manage a truce between both sides*
Thranduil: you’re the only one i respect
Gandalf: well-
Thranduil: shut up.
