serregon:
you’re so right about Nienor and Mablung, and your art of them is so sweet ❤️ can I hear your thoughts on them?
Thank youuuu @serregon!!! 🥰 And ohhh I have lots of thoughts about these two!!! Be prepared for brainmush and me jumping around from headcanon to AU synopsis under the cut lol
Her years in Doriath are their cutesy era, before they’re both scarred from Turin’s jackassery. Mablung fell first, he admired her strength and resilience and her blunt way of talking which was so unlike most of the Doriathrim he knew. Nienor wasn’t far behind, since this kind buff marchwarden took her under his wing and encouraged her to talk freely with him, so unlike all the Doriathrim she knew. It was nice to have a confidant to share her problems and worries with and who would in return be able to share stories about her father and brother, neither of whom she had ever met.
