ALT“Elladan and Elrohir were out upon errantry: for they rode often far afield with the Rangers of the North, forgetting never their mother’s torment in the dens of the orcs.”
My friends and Elves
You know, I tend to think of Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen as being very cool with Maglor and the idea of Maglor’s relationship with Elrond, but like, maybe they’re not
Maybe it’s more like Elrond’s stance is “he’s old and can’t hurt anyone, he’s my father, it wasn’t all good but I want that relationship,” and E, E, & A also have they’re mom’s family’s (+ a sense of wanting better for Dad) perspective on this and are like, “respectfully, I want him to choke.”
Maybe they don’t want to open their heart and home and lives to Maglor. Maybe they hate him, for what he did, and have the emotional distance to see how evil it was- how the good doesn’t wash that away. Maybe they want to be respectful of Elrond’s wants and needs here, but they just- they just can’t do so gracefully
Maybe Elrond brings Maglor to family dinner in Valinor and Elrohir starts throwing back the wine
[repeated from comments:] Consider that it isn’t only Elrond’s connection to him, either. He’s their grandmother’s cousin, too - who knows what kind of thoughts might have come down from Galadriel and/or Celebrian.
Just proof I’m not dead, it’s been An Interesting few months and I haven’t really been able to draw. Anyway, here are some half-Elven siblings in progress, I hope to have them finished in the next week or so.
