Thingol and Melian - Under her spell
A little (actually pretty major) illustration of how I see Thingol and Melian in my head. They are after all the power-couple of the Middle Earth so who can blame me?^^
There are a lot of different illustrations of Thingol and Melian, and I honestly fell in love with the ones where she is taller, because I love the idea that the Valar and Maiar are bigger than the Children, so the Valar would be much bigger and the Maiar a little bigger. I dunno what oficial theories there are about it, but I love the idea!^^ And I soo love the idea of the first elves having tattoos like a real native people, before they were taught by the Valar. I think it makes sense that they were very native and close to nature and therefore not being dressed in much else than waist skirts and loin-cloths. (I always love to discuss silmarillion headcanons so please feel free to share your own ideas!^^)
This is when they first meet, because I just love that they forgot the world in such a way and that it was only them that mattered. (yes im a sucker for love-stories, especially Tolkien’s!) And the idea of a man falling under the spell of a woman in such a way is really appleaing to me for some reason ^^’
