Idril - Tumblr Posts
I forgot to post here my Lords of Gondolin tarot cards series!
It was commissioned by lovely @intea a few years ago

Something I noticed.
There are two characters in The Silmarillion that I'm aware of who are described as having a darkness in them before they actually even did anything.
There's FĂ«anĂĄro, and Galadriel said it.
And there's Maeglin, and Itarillë said it.
... The thing is, both of them were also motherless - FĂ«anĂĄro having never really known his, and Maeglin having lost his (and his father) through an incredibly tragic event.
I wonder if that "darkness" that Galadriel and Itarillë saw was simply trauma and not a darkness of character, but they were simply to inexperienced to tell the difference. (Itarillë might've also had the same thing, considering what happened to Elenwë.)
Wait this is so cute đ„č
Day 2 (Traveling to Middle Earth | The Helcaraxë | Bonds Broken, Bonds Made) for @glorfindelweek !!
This is so so headcanon heavy but tl;dr I like to headcanon a) Idril as the equivalent of 10-12ish at the start of the Helcaraxë and Glorfindel being only a little older than her, b) Glorfindel as Idril's first cousin, on her mother's side, and c) them being more or less friendly before the Helcaraxë but growing very very close during the march!
They're just two kids watching out for each other when the adults are busy with important adult things

Just this
âAnd however that might be, Idril loved Maeglin not at all; and knowing his thought of her she loved him the less [âŠ] But as the years passed still Maeglin watched Idril, and waited, and his love turned to darknes in his heart.â
