Celegorm anon here. Art please
Here you go! A young Celegorm trying to impress Orome but forgetting he's out of arrows
I absolutely love this - if you don't mind me adding my own hc to this: With all of his children (though specifically the first three) he would spend time getting to know at least a little bit more than the average person would (but let's be real here its Feanor he would probably try and find as much as possible) so that he could talk with his sons on these subjects, and wouldn't be (as) lost as most other elves would be whenever they discuss their interests/infodump
I also love the idea that they all infodump, all the time? At least before the whole silmarill debacle, they would do things together and cared about each others interests not just because of the interests, but also just to support each other in that way. :)
Learning Together
Head Canon: When Feanor first realized that Celegorm was very fond of animals he spent weeks learning all he could about them, as they were not his area of expertise, simply so he had something to bond with his third son over.
So hear me out - but if the feanorians were in our time, they would absolutely have some form of mental health difficulties/things they struggle with, (putting aside whether or not they had smthing like adhd for the second) and this would be very easily shown through their actions, and you could see it in the way they responded to things.
For example, Over-Achieving Perfectionist Feanor- never fully satisfied, constantly needing to be better, best, in everything he did and having tunnel vision when it came to doing that (not in the sense that he can't focus on anything else, simply just that which would effect him reaching his goal).
Compartmentalizing Maedhros- as the eldest child, and one who spent a lot of time doing things for others/having to look out for other people throughout his life, I think that (especially after Angband, but even before) he would find it really difficult to focus on things negatively effecting him unless it would effect his brothers, and would rather just throw it in his mental box for later.
I think that Maglor probably had attatchment issues, I think that with Elrond and Elros a lot is said about potentially he and Mae trying to heal the gaping hole left by their brothers' death, but I also think that for him, as the second eldest, he spent a lot of time helping and looking after his younger brothers, (though not in the same way Mae did) but also spent almost his entire life (depending on what you think of the timeline) with Mae to lean on and depend on, to be the older brother, and with them all dying and the pain of the silmarils that he struggles not to get attached to others.
Celegorm I like to think not necessarily struggles with social interaction, but as he prefers to and does spend the majority of the time outside, with animals and with only his close family for company (i do think he had someone he hunted with but can't remember) and so when he did have to be in large groups with other people would find it awkward as he isn't in the woods anymore, and so he has to behave differently.
Caranthir I think, as the middle child, probably struggles with being surrounded by his wonderful sibilings, (not that he isn't also amazing, I love them all) with wonderfully diplomatic Mae, charismatic and creative Mags, Celegorm with his skill in nature and with animals, Curi of course has his smithing (and I'll speak on that in a sec, but it's time for Cara) and the twins are known as the funny tricksters, and he struggled to find a place for himself. He's normally described as either angry (but that also applies to Curi, Celegorm, and Feanor) and/or as very smart and scholarly (which can also apply to Feanor and Mae, at least in my understanding of these characters ofc) and so finding that space, similarly to Faenor's fears of being replaced by his dad (which I do think caused his perfectionism) was a very large part of his personality.
I think Curufin's issues are spoken about quite easily, but just to add my thoughts, I think that his fear of being like his dad his whole personality probably caused a lot of resentment, and feeling not good enough. I think he probably would have a lot of internalised anger at everyone, and although I do think he did genuinely believe in the Oath (probably the only one who actually did, at least for the majority of it) I think right before he died (and I did see another post though I can't remember who by, if I do I'll tag them but it was brilliant and based off this) and saw his brother's death, that was when he realised that his dad was wrong. I think that was mentally damaging and probably when in Mandos caused him to have slightly difficult trust issues, particularly with Feanor, as he saw it as a personal affront, after all, if he's just like Feanor, and Feanor messed everything up this badly, then what does that make him?
Ambarussa- honestly I think that their main concern would be an identity crisis, with being referred to as Ambarussa, or as the twins they'd feel that they had to be funny or memorable to get people to like them/see them as people, including their own family, and that would cause issues with their relationships later down the line as they would assume that nobody actually liked them, and that they had to work to be liked.
I'm sorry - possibly my fav artist I've found here - I absolutely love how you draw Mae!!!
finally got around to doing proper feanorian full-body refs (in beleriand)… with updated designs!! im still trying to figure out whats my style kkeushefks but im rather pleased with how these turned out for now 😙 heres some more experimental sketches i did to celebrate the end of a rather taxing week hooho
Inktober Day 1: Crystal
because it's impossible not to think 'Annatar' without also then thinking 'rich widow decked out in jewels he bought with someone else's trust fund'
Inktober Day 2: Suit
look i know i couldve done a suit of armor or smthn but if there's a chance for me to draw the Boys (TM) in suits then you bet im taking it hehehe
Inktober Day 3: Vessel
cursed thought HEAR ME OUT OK how wack would it be if every time Sauron shapeshifted (e.g Annatar back to original body), instead of it being an instantaneous thing, his new form has to crawl out of the old hollow one like a caterpillar or a snake? ...what? that's kinda gross? im sorry i wont do it again but i was running low on ideas oKk
Inktober Day 6: Spirit
Inktober Day 6: Spirit
sometimes i like the idea of the sons of Feanor (sans Amrod) who died via the kinslayings/silmaril lingering by Maglor for the rest of his time in self-imposed exile... bonus points if houseless spirits look like they did when they died too!!
so i tried my hand at inktober for the first time... then gave up after a few days bc im too lazy... idk how those people who do it for the whole month do it, but please sire impart thy determination onto me!!! 🙇♀️😂 i might do a second dump in later October if i pick up any other days but for now.... my procrastination calls ✨
Dear Feanorians. For how long a person may have a Silmaril before you have to murder them? Asking for a friend. Thank you.
It depends. Are you a potential ally? My brothers and I are all very just in following the oath of our father, and will be swift in our pursuit of justice. However, ot would depend on where you are. If you would like to share your place of residence, we can stop by to five you more exact advice. After all, we are all very eager to fulfil our Father’s final wishes whenever possible. Kind regards,
Maedhros
Why thank you very much for this question, and I hope I may answer it to the best of my abilities. I would say that it depends mainly on one thing: are you going to make the right decision and bring the Silmaril to its rightful owners, (us) so we may be reunited with our father’s work, or are you planning on keeping it? May your road be lit by the glory of the Silmarils,
Maglor
How fast can an elf run? Likely, not fast enough to escape my brothers, me, and our many followers. Safe hunt,
Celegorm
Well looking at past events, I would expect that one would have however long it took for my brothers to hear you had it, or at least that whoever previously had it now didn’t, with potentially time for Maedhros to send a customary letter requesting voluntary handing over of the Silmaril, along with the necessary time to move the army of followers to your location.
Caranthir
As soon as I can find your location - if you think I will allow you to stand there with the pride of my Father you are sorely mistaken! I will hunt you until the light of the Silmarils run out, as I’ll follow my Father’s oath! I wish you great luck. You will need it,
Curufin
It depends, does Maedhros or Curufin know you have it? You would be surprised how quickly they will find these “shiny rocks” if they can beat Morgoth to it - however I think you will find there are easier ways to get ahold of the rocks, ways which even the most experienced elf would still struggle to defend against. May your path be lit,
Amrod
Maedhros or Curufin will realize you have it faster than you can blink. You would be surprised how fiercely they will fight for the return of even one Silmaril if it means they can fulfil our Father’s oath. May your path be lit,
Amras
(Amras would be dead though lets be real)
Just to be clear - this is from the very start, so from before the Silmarils are made until their death (or self-banishment).
Sorry this is in awkward place!
Mae&Mags: We went through an entire character arc during the First Age
Mae&Mags: We became more evil if you’re curious
Eonwë: Dont worry, we're still doing the War of Wrath, there is time for a redemption arc!
Mae&Mags: (staring at the elves guarding the Silmaril) We're going to get worse on purpose
Hey ✨worsties ✨
Someone mishearing the name of Galadriel’s husband and being convinced she is married to Celegorm.
Options for this include:
Fingolfin - as a letter from Doriath is smudged in just the right place. This misunderstanding helps to contribute significantly to his decision to get crushed by Morgoth’s boot.
Caranthir - he ignores most of the going’s on from his siblings and would really like to know less about the supposed marriage of his hated cousin and least favourite brother. May they make each other miserable together. Doesn’t find out the truth until Doriath.
Angrod - he is torn between brotherly loyalty and loyalty to one who is his friend. He isn’t sure which one to feel sorry for and is Very Relieved when Finrod clears up the misunderstanding.
Finarfin - garbled rumours from across the seas. Is absolutely horrified and thinks it is yet another rebellion by his daughter. Doesn’t find out until he sees Galadriel again in Beleriand, where his first words upon greeting Celeborn are ‘thank the Valar you aren’t my nephew’
Sauron - attempts to torment Galadriel about the loss and downfall of her husband. Is very confused when she tells him that he is alive and well and that Sauron has had dinner with him! He does not recall dining with any of Feanor’s sons. He just knows that somewhere Celebrimbor’s ghost is laughing at him.
All of the above.
Happy Fingon is happy, Turgon is still pouting at Celegorm (probably for bringing Maedhros back in one piece, Fingon will be insufferable :D) sketch here, lines here
When you have to carry your little brother home from the festivities because he's a lightweight who can't handle his liquor. (To be followed by "When you have to share your horse with your brother because he lost his to some scruffy human", many years later.)
Just some belated Celegorm and Curufin shenanigans that I intended to post for @feanorianweek but then it got out of hand and I also had to work on some non-Silm stuff and now I can't move my arm anymore
