For what it's worth; I will stand by you The whole of me is here, now to love Winter may come I'd still belong to you For what it's worth; I will stand by you The world can burn and crash, but not my love Summer may end, you'd still belong to me With care, I will take you
-Stand By You, Ben&Ben
 I missed drawing Finoriel (one of my bajillion Tolkien Canon/OC ships lmao) and since I like switching between art for others and art for me as a routine and I asked my bby sister to choose between C(anon) or H(appy) E(nd). She chose HE and so we got this fluffy piece where Fili's courtship proposal is accepted by Anoriel while they're wandering through the markets of Dale together.
god I missed drawing Tolkien fanart and I'm definitely gonna do more Tolkien art in the coming future :3

"Why do you weep, Muinthel?" asked Melmerondir, his eyes trained on the sons of Durin on their tombs before they were returned to the mountain. Anoriel was silent for a moment as she took time to gather herself, wiping at her red-rimmed eyes and clearing her throat as quietly as she could manage. "I...do not know." She admitted. "His loss feels like it had torn a deep chasm within my soul."
So today is the day BotFA happened in The Hobbit and I figured that I might as well draw some finoriel art. Tragic Finoriel art uwu
When their squad arrested the Company of Thorin Oakenshield, she was among the elves checking on the dwarves for any injuries with their captain.
During the dwarves' time in the dungeon (after they had acted with hostility to Thranduil and ruined the guest rooms he had sent them to), Anoriel was also one of the elves giving them food, sometimes sneaking in past curfew to make sure they were being fed enough. (They were, Anoriel just worried a lot)
For two weeks, she and Fili would speak with one another and try to see things from each other's perspectives, eventually even sharing personal details about their lives. She promises Fili that she will write him a poem and he promises her that he will craft her hair ornaments to pin her hair back from her face after seeing her constantly trying to keep her hair from falling over her face.
Anoriel and Melmerondir are among those sent to join in the Battle of the Five Armies.
Anoriel was one of the volunteers who had gone out into the battlefield to do retrieval operations. A part of her was hoping some of the bodies she recovered would be alive and since Fili was reported as missing, she kept a part of herself hoping still that he wasn't dead. Then she found him and though she feels a deep grief, she is unable to understand the depth of why she felt such a thing.
She carried Fili's body (with difficulty due to her weaker constitution and body for being a half-elf) all the way to Erebor, ignoring the biting cold of the rapidly falling snow and getting up each time she stumbled.
Anoriel attends the funeral of Thorin, Fili and Kili and slips a page with an unfinished poem into Fili's hand before leaving Erebor with her father and brother.
She never figures out the feelings she developed for Fili and experiences a more fragmented form of Fading that weakens her each year as a result of both the grief of losing one she formed a bond with and trauma from the Battle of the Five Armies. She dies of old age and a weakened body, and her brother and father sailed West shortly after.
