“Something that makes me impossibly happy to think about"..? My favourite characters when they are happy. Most of my art or writing that I call romantic fluff are mere sorry attempts, but I love doodling Noldor as happy children in Valinor, and family-fluff is what I feed on. And say what you will about Fëanor having issues with his half-brothers, but the grand-children of Finwë have so much fluff-potential.
———-
Finwë regulary hosted dinners to which he invited all his sons and their families. It was his hope that by being forced into the same room and spending an evening in a civilised manner, his large family could be kept from splitting apart due to the tensions within. But it was never very easy to have so many children running around the house and their fathers arguing over any trivial detail they could possibly think of, and Finwë knew this so he spent the whole day preparing for the occasion. It was as if getting ready for one family-dinner was ten times more troublesome than leading the whole clan of Noldor from Cuiviénen to Valinor.

So, I made a thing. Spent a couple hours on iMovie this morning and ended up with a fan trailer for a Fall of Gondolin movie, because I want it.
Who knows, maybe I’ll make more for other stories from The Silmarillion? Lord knows they deserve some sort of cinematic adaptation. Even if it’s just my crappy little iMovie vids.
