#elrond half elven

[tanoraqui]

Theory: Elrond effectively wears headlamps like a Dad(TM)

Proof:

Elrond, at least on semi-formal occasions, wears “a star upon his forehead” (RotK book 6, ch.9)—that is, presumably, a pale glowing gem on some sort of coronet. This comes across as very classically Elvish (light, jewelry, star imagery), and a nigh-explicit reference to his father Eärendil. However…

Elrond’s children don’t see as well as Elves, as cited here. If his children don’t, then Elrond, even less Elvish by blood, certainly doesn’t. Now, I will admit that I forget if “Elves can see in the dark” is canon or very popular, D&D-enabled fanon, but it certainly makes sense considering that Elves flourished for centuries or millennia under just starlight, before daylight even existed…and it’s equally reasonable to assume that half-elven night vision is as relatively “weak” as their cited distance vision.

Elrond is the proud father of three, and exhibits traditional Dadly behaviors such as being a little bit of a nerd (loremaster) but also one of the most reliable guys you know, adopting any child left in his presence for a sufficient amount of time (Aragorn), and telling his daughter’s aspiring bf that he won’t be good enough for her until he has a steady job (also Aragorn).

My dad irl, who I promise is a pretty typical Dad, was positively delighted when he discovered casual-use head-mounted flashlights about a decade ago, and has self-satisfiedly worn them on every camping trip and nighttime dog walk ever since.

CONCLUSION: Elrond regularly wears glowing, star-evocative gems on his brow, especially while traveling or at fancy evening parties, and he looks great and it make people respectfully murmur Eärendilion (whether he likes it or not)… But really, it’s not a fashion statement or implicit political position or whatever; it’s because if he doesn’t have some sort of flashlight, he will trip on torchlit steps or walk into low-hanging tree branches in the dark. And it’s so much easier if it’s hands-free! (Especially when he’s spelunking for lost texts!)

His kids all go through a phase of thinking he’s mortifyingly dorky about this, then begrudgingly come to accept that it is really convenient to have a hands-free light for dark nights, caves, etc, and start wearing one themselves.

Rivendell - by AZED

His house [Elrond's] was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Evil things did not come into that valley." J.R.R Tolkien

This trio is everything 😍

I have to admit this took me a hot minute to get over art block to finish it, but I’m really proud with how it turned out!

Sent it off to the printers today and am keen to sell these at upcoming cons later this month!

For anyone trying to untangle the whole “Elrond has a gajillion relatives” thing, I did the math. You’re welcome.

The Lord of Rivendell

"The face of Elrond was ageless, neither old nor young, though in it was written the memory of many things both glad and sorrowful."

Can’t believe this is the first time I’ve actually drawn my favourite character. Easily my best piece of this year if not in forever, I achieved something with that lighting somehow.

Thranduil: Right, what’s the problem?

Elrond: Problem? Why does there need to be a problem?

Thranduil: Tone of voice. You have three reasons for calling on me: You’re bored, you need to tell someone about something clever you did before you pop, or something’s wrong.

Thranduil: This was your something’s wrong voice

y/n, nervously: E-Elrond…

*Elrond looks up from the book in his hands*

y/n: i-I’m with child…y-yours.

*y/n then slams her eyes shut and looks away, half expecting him to be angry or leave her like e tone else has*

“My dear, why do you fear what is considered a blessing and good news?” he expressed, concerned as he discarded his book to rush towards you. At first, he hesitated as his hands hovered over your non-existent bump before gradually nearing and resting his palms against the spot. He could sense the vitality and it left him in awe. “My dear, I—I’m lost for words. I’m gladdened and overcome with joy! Be not sad for this is a moment to celebrate.”

Everytime I see those tearful arguments between Elrond & Arwen in TTT, & the elves parting from ME in groups, I remember that Bilbo is at that time living in Rivendell.

Like he first came there with his merry band of dwarves, and the elves sang silly songs for them & messed around with them & Bilbo got an invitation from a cheerful Elrond to stay there if he wants, & then Bilbo spent a nice calming time there on his way back to Shire, in which the elves teased him about his snoring.

So years later, in his retired days he decided to take Elrond up on his offer, & then! Everyone left Rivendell! Almost no elves left! Even Elladan & Elrohir are not home! And Arwen just lies in her bed 24/7, reads John Green, and cries, and Elrond plays sad harp & smokes cigarettes. And the family dinners are a fucking nightmare as Bilbo tries to think of a topic for conversation while Arwen & Elrond sit in silence & it seems like if the fork makes the wrong sound hitting the plate they'll burst into tears.
