Fangirling and Writer-Nerd Chaos

Hello Elrond nation uhhh here’s a sketch I did like 2 years ago of Elrond and his wife Celebrían because AUGHHHHH I LOVE THEMMMM

I want to talk about Elrond’s cloak for a minute. We know the elves are very classy and elegant and put together(or at the very least like to put on that facade as we’re very much seeing their flaws but I digress). But from pretty much the moment we see Elrond he has that tattered teal cloak that is a staple of his wardrobe.

You can see more than a few holes, places where it’s threadbare, and the bottom hem near his dagger is starting to come undone. And at first I figured I was overthinking it but then I thought, this show had a massive budget. The costumers deliberately chose to have his cloak look like that so what was the reasoning? Is it the last reminder of a loved one he refuses to let go? Is it meant to be a visual reminder of his youth compared to the other elves? Am I just overthinking it because he’s my favorite character? I truly don’t know and it’s such minor detail but I really like the potential characterization it adds.

As @fuzzyfacedeopierider said in the comments:

The real reason the Rings of Power Elrond is so excluded from Gil-Galad’s court:

He kept interjecting to point out that not everything in the world can be blamed on the Fëanorians.

Unfortunately this was not a popular take.

It's only polite to ask first.

(In the third panel, Elrond is thinking "Who else does this sort of thing? Where in his tiny body does he keep all that Audacity? This kind of thing is why I love this guy").

this has me in tears yall 😭

Me and @wizardheart83: *explain Elrond's whole wacky lineage*

The rest of the harem: *blonde lady doing algebra meme*

Elrond 'the slightly more than half-elven and teensy bit angel' doesn't have the same ring to it, admittedly

a little sketch for the rings of power

Elrond: Just a reminder. I choose the kindness. I am willing to pursue other options if kindness doesn't work out.

Elros: And he has a knife.

Elrond: And I have a knife.

Nolofinwë Week Day Seven: Elrond Sailing to Valinor

Hey, I have feelings.

I have this head cannon that as Círdan's ship carried Elrond to Valinor on the sea Vingilot sailed above in the sky. I think Eärendil guided his son home, I think he heralded his arrival to the Undying Lands. I think when Elwing saw her husband's star so low, and close, and bright she knew that finally after over 6,000 years she was going to see one of her sons again, I think Celebrian knew she was going to see her husband again.

I think Elrond and Elros and their legacies were the happy ending to The Silmarillion with all its grief.

Okay I'm done. Back to being completely normal.

(Also, I absolutely borrowed from @thelien-art's very good Elrond design)

Durin at some point in the twenty year gap probably for drunk off his ass and ended up crying in Disa’s lap about Elrond and how “he walks in starlight far from my reach” and how he misses his stupid wry smiles and dumb dark hair and even his stupid elfy ears and ridiculous height and the starry twinkle in his eyes. Disa thinks it’s the funniest thing ever even as she starts coming up with ways to kidnap an elf

Oh, those funky half-elven family trees!
