Round 2 to choose the 3 keychains i'll make

Following the result of this poll, Fingon & Maedhros will be the first keychain i do. But adding up the results I got on twitter we have a tie between two of them for the second place.

So i'll choose the last two keychains with this poll, once again you can see my designs for the characters here

While waiting for the result of this poll I'm going to start the maedhros & fingon keychain, I have lots of ideas in mind !

fewer posts about “why do straight women date men who hate them” and more posts about “why do so many men hate women that it’s genuinely difficult for straight women to find romantic & sexual intimacy with a man who doesn’t hate them”

I'm planning to make some new keychains, it's been a year since I made these and most of them are out of stock or almost out of stock.

I'm thinking of maybe 3 designs and with a duos this time! But I can't choose myself because I have too many ideas, which one do you prefer among these?

I'll do the two with the most votes and do a second round to choose the last one (in case one of them was everyone's second choice but didn't make it to the top three) You can see my designs for all the characters here. I didn't post my designs for Arwen & Aragorn yet but i will soon !

(I will take into account the results from all my social medias not only tumblr)

#only 18 hours left to vote !

To those who think they're "working hard" and spending "lots of time" (like 90 minutes, i've heard) typing prompts into AI to make "art" -

More than time gets sacrificed when creating the art you feel entitled to plagiarize. While pain and suffering isn't and should never be a pre-requisite for making art, it is inevitably experienced by most artists (physically & mentally) due to the taxing nature of creation.

Michelangelo, when working on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, wrote this letter to Giovanni Da Pistoia:

(source)

This is just a small taste of the daily physical & mental experiences of artists, as they create the work you steal with a click of a button. Yet, our struggles are overcome by our personal love for creation, and we endure it for as long as it takes for us to complete our craft.

Can you do the same? Or is this all just a trendy, instantly gratifying gimmick to you?

Fingon is the archetypical hero. He does great deeds of valor and daring, notably Maedhros’ rescue and rushing out to defeat Glaurung. He is not terribly afraid of consequences, which is wonderful when he is the only one he’s responsible for. His talent is forging ahead and inspiring everyone to follow him.

Fingolfin is the archetypical king. He is the one that holds his people together across the Helcaraxë and brokers peace with Maedhros after he’s rescued. He’s incredibly aware of every possible consequence, which is wonderful when he’s responsible for a whole kingdom. His talent is uniting everyone and inspiring them to move forward together.

When Fingolfin dies, he acts as the hero, not the king. He tries to borrow his son’s talent for incredibly inadvisable stunts, but it isn’t in his nature. He believes the Noldor are doomed, and thus dies in despair fighting Morgoth because he does not see another path forward, only defeat.

When Fingon dies, he acts as the king, not the hero. He tries to borrow his father’s talent for forging political unity, but it isn’t in his nature. The Nirnaeth’s forces are disunited from their conception to their defeat, and Fingon dies full of hope fighting Morgoth because he does not see any other path forward, only victory.

Fingolfin’s legacy was despair, though he left a lasting blow against Morgoth. Fingon’s legacy was hope, though he did not so much as touch Morgoth.

When the traveler sets off again, the Queen gives him lembas for his journey and the King gives him a warm hug. And given Aragorn's habit of giving things to people, he probably received a gift too.

Years later, he still doesn't know if he dreamed the whole experience and if he actually set foot in Minas Tirith.

I bet after Aragorn became king he would continue to be Just Some Chill As Fuck Dude. You go to the market and there’s the king of Gondor. Buying turnips.
