So, I did some Rivendell-based incorrect quotes doodles a while back. Presenting:
Thranduil is in town for a visit and Glorfindel happens to be showing him around.
Erestor will find a way to make an overworked Elrond listen to his advice.
A semi-newly returned Glorfindel gets ready for his day.

I need everyone to know that if your Glorfindel of the Golden Flower is not wearing his golden hair in basic-Instagram-bitch flower braids I don’t know what you are doing with your life.
For everyday:
Tumblr media
For parties:

For court (pretend it’s blond):
Tumblr media
For WAR (Pre-Balrog):
Tumblr media
For WAR (post Balrog):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Textured version (again, pretend it’s blond. Or don’t. But I am):
Tumblr media
(I found it hard to find similarly cheesy flowery braid hairstyles for non-straightened textured hair, but please accept this impractical elven alternative the aesthetic Flower Afro/Flower Crown)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
tl.dr: Extremely Flowery hairstyles only for my Balrog-slaying boy.

Glorfindel Week Day 3
I've been busy with Easter and misc cooking/baking, so now I'm catching up on Glorfindel Week with Day 3: Gondolin | House of the Golden Flower | Nobility | Friendship.
Tumblr media
I'm really not happy with this - armour is *really hard* to draw and I had a miserable time with it, especially since I still struggle with proportions. But anyway, here are two lords of the Gondolindrim: Glorfindel, Lord of the House of the Golden Flower, and his BFF Ecthelion, Lord of the House of the Fountain.
I chose to give Ecthelion a helmet and not Glorfindel - and a unicorn helmet, at that - because Tolkien specifies that upon his helm is set a spike of steel. 😆 During the Fall of Gondolin, Ecthelion killed three Balrogs but was gravely wounded by the time he faced Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs. In the end he jumped and drove the spike of his helmet through Gothmog's chest; they both fell into the Fountain of the King and drowned. (Yeah. He literally headbutted the most powerful Balrog. First Age Noldor were *metal*.)
Glorfindel, meanwhile, also faced a Balrog while guarding the pass through which the survivors of Gondolin fled. He attacked it to defend the refugees and defeated it, but at the last moment it grabbed him by his hair and he, too, fell and died with it. I feel like the canonical lack of helmet is implied. 😜

A heart-touching reunion moment between our golden boy Glorfindel and his beloved Ecthelion in Glor's dream as my choice to start the year with. The idea is that Glorfindel, after being sent back to Middle Earth, still having a hard time learning how to live again, how to live without his Ecthelion. Especially from the day he found Ecthelion's Flute in the Trolls' cave Gandalf talked about, memories of his beloved began to rise strongly in his mourning heart. But instead of shutting down his mind to stop them, he chose to embrace and cherish all of those memories even though it made his Fëa wither a little bit more every day. In the halls, seeing his golden flower in such self-torment but could not do anything also broke Ecthelion's heart. In the end, maybe Mandos was touched by their love and mercifully gave them a chance to reunite in a dream. And finally, Ecthelion could somehow bring comfort and reassurance to his love with the promise that he will always watch over him,  that one day they will be together again, beyond the sea....
So this piece was inspired by a lovely Glorthelion fic which a dear writer friend of mine wrote me as my birthday present. The fic is actually in vietnamese (not English) and I can only wish I had proper skill and time to translate the full fic😢

My headcanon for how the Wizards/Maia are ranked is that they go by age. The first to arrive (Glorfindel, gold) is the strongest, second (Saruman, white) is next, third (Gandalf, grey) comes after that, then Radagast (brown), then the blues.
So I can just imagine...
Elrond: GLORFINDEL I SWEAR TO GOD-
Gandalf: Please, Elrond, he's FUMING, and he's my boss.
Elrond: He's WHAT
Alternatively
Saruman: *is evil*
Glorfindel: You're fired.
Saruman: What?
Legolas: You heard him, you're fired!

Hello @joyfullynervouscreator, I’m your Santa for @officialtolkiensecretsanta!
This is a little friendship (or pre-relationship, your choice) and world building vignette set in the very early days of Vinyamar with a few of the proto-lords of Gondolin. It’s a little bit about building and life in Nevrast and a lot about just appreciating the people you love, and I hope you enjoy!

If the screenwriters knew how simpable Glorfindel actually is, I‘m sure he would have more screen time 😂 or any, that is.

Dating Glorfindel Would Include...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ʚɞ He’s like a golden retriever, filled with boundless energy and wants to be all over you. He cannot spend five seconds without some form of physical contact, be it holding hands, kissing you, or bumping shoulders.
ʚɞ One of the simplest things he likes to do is to hold your hand during walks, showing everyone that you’re his. He’s absolutely proud to know that you chose him to be your significant other so, he does his best to show you that you chose well.
ʚɞ Your time courting him will never be dull. Every moment spent with him will be full of energy and laughter.
ʚɞ Whenever there’s a party, festival or ball, you are the first couple on the dance floor. The first time you dance at a ball, you are surprised to learn that he is an excellent dancer since you have never seen him dance when asked by others.
ʚɞ He’s an amazing singer but he’ll only sing for you. You are the only person worthy in his eyes to hear his voice.
ʚɞ He enjoys going for rides with you on his horse. Sometimes the both of you will sit together or on separate horses and race each other across the open fields. There are times when he’s in a goofy mood and he’ll sit in front of you on Asfaloth, ignoring the fact that you can’t see.
ʚɞ Wherever you may be working he will always find time during the day to visit you. If it’s to bring you a meal of food or just stop by to say hello, he will always make the time. Even when he’s not on patrol or doing any duties, he’s sparring. He takes this opportunity to spar shirtless in hopes that when you pass by, you’ll ogle at his physique.
ʚɞ Should you do pass by, he shows off a lot more flexing his muscles and fighting with more power and strength to defeat his opponent showing you how strong he is. One time he flexed his muscles too hard, and he caught a cramp. To say the least, it was embarrassing for him.
ʚɞ Know that every day you will be receiving a bouquet of flowers at your doorstep. There are times he’d be able to deliver it and other times when he’ll send a worker.
ʚɞ He knows that he’s not the best cook but he’s willing to try making most of your favourite meals and desserts. Sometimes he’d invite you over into the kitchen so that you could show him how to make your favourite meals. You also do the same by sending meals and desserts for him when he’s working very hard. He always gets over-emotional whenever you do so.
ʚɞ Speaking of him being emotional, Glorfindel is genuinely a compassionate individual and it’s truly an honour to experience firsthand his ability to extend his empathy to others in need of it. Even you are fortunate to be on the receiving end when times are tough on your end.
ʚɞ He’s a cuddle bug so once you’re in his arms there’s no escaping, you’re never leaving you just have to stay there and accept your fate. He has no shame in basking you kisses but he won’t go overboard since he is a Lord and looked upon.
ʚɞ Whenever you’re cuddling you tend to run your hands through his hair which knocks him out. He’s very flamboyant so, expect a lot of grand moments with him but not to worry he does take your reactions seriously; he knows what’s acceptable and what isn’t.
ʚɞ Depending on the age you met, you get the opportunity to hear his tales of the olden days when his fellow Lords and friends were alive. Around these moments are when he relies on a slice of comfort from you to reassure him that there’s still good in his life despite all that he’s lost.

Finally picked up the balls to drop this into this fandom. Wanted to draw Glorfindel in something not armor and maybe usual/court wear in Gondolin? More soft, because, pre-balrog. Gonna put the BG in my patreon later too because he actually covered up the flower emblem, oops okay imma just go now
