#the fall of gondolin
My favorite Vanya/half Vanya relatives (I like Glorfindel being related to Elenwë somehow)
Glorfindel | Elenwë | Idril in some fancy Vanyarin outfits.

“At last, in the year when Eärendil was seven years old, Morgoth was ready, and he loosed upon Gondolin his Balrogs, and his Orcs, and his wolves; and with them came dragons of the brood of Glaurung, and they were become now many and terrible. The host of Morgoth came over the northern hills where the height was greatest and the watch least vigilant, and it came at night upon a time of festival, when all the people of Gondolin were upon the walls to await the rising sun, and sing their songs at its uplifting; for the morrow was the great feast that they named the Gates of Summer.”

Sometimes??? You just have to draw a fluffy maeglin to cope with shitty life moments???
Redrawing of an old maeglin piece I did about 1 year ago ✨
“No talk, I angry”
Oh, you killed one Balrog? That’s cute.
- Ecthelion of the Fountain, to Glorfindel, the Silmarillion, Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin
I don’t think you understand. See, I only listen to divine advice if I like what it has to say? If you wanted good sense and wise decisions, you maybe should have picked another hidden kingdom.
- Turgon, to Tuor, when he’s relaying Ulmo’s message, The Fall of Gondolin
Turgon: What a day, I’m exhausted.
Penlodh: Your Majesty, you just woke up.
Turgon:Exactly.
The Crow and the Swan
Tuor came to the Hidden City with a message from the Lord of the Seas. He urges the King to flee, but to avail. Confined, he despairs. He crosses paths with Maeglin, the prince who wishes to elope from these immaculate walls. A story of the inevitable battle against fate, and of freedom.

I hate writing story summaries, they can go get impaled by the horns of a Balrog. Tuor x Maeglin prompt for JazTheBard on ao3.

The story of Turin is just the tale of a buch elves who, despite all evidence that it might be a bad idea, try to adopt one disaster human.
The story of Tuor is about the lucky elves who decided to adopt his more well-adjusted cousin instead.
“…and he cast his crown at the roots of Glingol. Then did Galdor who stood here pick it up, but Turgon accepted it not.” (The Fall of Gondolin, p.93)
Turgon and Galdor for @xirinofarvada, thanks for your nice words!! Whenever I know someone remembers me, or my artworks inspiring someone, I’m really really happy~
