The explanation of my headcanons behind this drawing accidentally a prose. The art piece was for @legendariumladiesapril, prompt: Beginnings, and also accidentally ‘Fanon’ and ‘Abstracts’. I am in fact that slow 😀

Her husband’s people insisted on referring to it as her true form, but it wasn’t. She didn’t – she wasn’t like Tulkas or Oromë or the matter-shaping maiar of Aulë, to need a body to realise her part in the song of Ëa. She was- was the quality of sound that made it music rather than noise, harmony rather than discord. Her nature held no inherent physicality, but she would, in the springtime of the world, wear a shape to better hear the nightingales sing.

It was not her true form, the shape her husband had first found her in, but it was her most comfortable body, if she chose one, the assemblage of the world around her naked spirit that was easiest to put on. Elu had loved her in it at once. 

His people were afraid of it.

“She spoke no word; but being filled with love Elwë came to her and took her hand, and straightway a spell was laid on him, so that they stood thus while long years were measured by the wheeling stars above them; and the trees of Nan Elmoth grew tall and dark before they spoke any word.”

Notes:

Here’s why the disclaimer has that part about ‘modifications’ of originals. Thingol’s sigil is not exactly a match. I added more visual interest in the center and a second tone throughout the aqua because it was looking too plain compared to everyone else, once I started redoing the early sigils. And you can see extra dark gray points in the background. I was severely ticked due to elven rules of heraldry indicating rank by the number of points touching the edges, and that Finwë had 16 on his ‘winged sun’ but Elu only had the regular kingly 8 for a ‘winged moon’ – and both were High Kings of their people, ambassadors to Valinor, and frankly in every way -including mistakes in parenting- I hold Thingol superior. Not just that I really liked Thingol’s character at that point, but Finwë himself is that unimpressive. So I subtly restored Thingol to his rightful rank.

(Downloaders of the Sims set already know my ranting and raging over bright aqua as a royal color of Renaissance-level-tech Doriath. A toss-up between dagged chief orange on bright blue or quartered aqua and logenzy black/dark gray for unusual royal banner color schemes…)

Melian is one of the oldest sigils made, and it shows. It’s a busy design, but for once I can’t be mostly blamed. That’s Tolkien’s fault. Luckily there’s enough white and black and gray to offset the blue, so her sigil still coordinates with Sindar gray flags and Lúthien 01.
