In his heart he called her Tinuviel, that signifies Nightingale, daughter of twilight, in the Grey-elven tongue, for he knew no other name for her. And he saw her afar as leaves in the winds of autumn, and in winter as a star upon a hill, but a chain was upon his limbs.
companion dad to yesterday’s elfdads: Elu Thingoldad
BEHOLD: The best wife and best tiny. There are none like them and these are mine. Look at this tiny we made. She is perfect and her bedtime is never. I’m buying her ten ponies. Everything is tremendous and you can date her over my cold, dead body.
Design sketches for the Silmarillion. Hair „studies“ for Galadriel and Lúthien (would have been smart to do that before the last painting, but I‘ve never been a smart person), wtf-anatomy-Melian.
Let’s pretend Galadriel’s hair went on like that. She’s Rapunzel. Seriously.
I tried an old Greek-ish dress on Melian to distinguish her from your average Doriath elf. Not sure whether that‘s a good idea or not. She should meet Thingol in the woods either wearing nothing or wearing nothing but a blanket.
Oh yes, Thingol and some Noldor are next on my to-sketch-list…
I cannot help but headcanon Mìriel as being a very gifted mathematician, one of the first, if not the first, to have developed the field of topology. This is due to the fact that she is said to have been the one who “devised the art of needles”.
This quote lead me to imagine her as someone very apt at thinking in a geometrically oriented way, or, at the very least, someone more than capableness only to visualise complex patterns, but to predict how they would “develop” in a given space and utilise them to create more complex super-patterns.
I see her as a quite ancient elf, someone that in her early youth in Cuivìenen used to weave rope (it was a dangerous time to anger her, unless you liked your rope to unweave suddenly) precisely because of her “topological eye”. To her last days, until she had enough energy and lucidity, Mìriel used to have pieces of yarn in her pockets, since knotting and twisting them helped her concentrate while thinking and, sometimes, instead of writing down ideas she created complex knot to reminding herself of something. So much that she had a shelf lined with little, multi-coloured, very complex and quite beautiful knot, in her rooms.
Maybe before leaving for Lorien she wove them into a “necklace” of sort for her son.

God there are so many series where my favorite character is “ALL OF THEM *SCREEEEECH*”, so I tried to pick ones that stood out to me in some way, either by length of time spent being a fan, or intensity of interest.
