Is that first image supposed to be Maedros and Fingon? If so, awesome.

[(Anonymous)]

NA
It is. If you like it, you should check out the rest of Jenny's work. It's really great.

I don't even know the fandom, but I swoon a little myself whever someoe uses that picture for a secret.

[(Anonymous)]

Me too. It hits a lot of my kinks just right.

[philstar22]

It is gorgeous art. And it kind of makes me want to ship the characters even if I didn't before.

FYI, the fandom is Tolkien, specifically the Silmarillion. That particular scene is Fingon rescuing his cousin, Maedhros, who was tortured by Morgoth and then hung on a mountain cliff by one hand. And it says a lot about the relationship that none of Maedhros' brothers tried to rescue him, just his cousin.

I don't think that's that unusual. Different circumstances and all. I know I don't have much to do with my cousins either but then there's a bit of an age difference.

I don't know who the second set of cousins are but I think that Maedhros and Fingon had a lot to connect them. They're both the oldest children of a bunch of kids. They both have to deal with the Feanor/Fingolfin drama. They're both Noldor princes. And they seem to like a lot of the same stuff (hunting?) and are both leaders/adventurous. By that same token, Curufin and Celegorm were BFFs over any of their cousins. It's just a matter of personality, etc. Maybe you just don't have that with your cousins?

The second set are Yuna and Rikku from Final Fantasy X.

...

People in fiction have amazing bonds with cousins, siblings, parents, classmates, roommates, arranged marriage spouses, cellmates, crewmates, people they happen to be chased by a dragon with, and every other kind of non-chosen relationship imaginable. It doesn't mean every real life example of those relationships will or should have the same bond.

Unless there's some additional reason to compare you and your cousins to Maedhros and Fingon (or vice versa), I don't see the relevance?

[(Anonymous)]

Close family relationships are good to admire.

Is it unusual to be distant from your cousins? I honestly don't know because I'm in a weird set of circumstances with mine. I'm the youngest of the youngest of eight, so you know how many years difference there is between me and my oldest cousin? 45 years. The average age of my cousins? 25 years older than me. It's not conducive to tight, family bonds is what I'm saying.

So is this a normal in a abnormal set of circumstances or is it really odd to not be close to your cousins?

[(Anonymous)]

So go talk to them or something?

I'm not close to mine. I hardly remember what they look like, and obviously the same is true for them since one of them messaged me on a dating site. I only recognized him by his name and location.

[(Anonymous)]

I know they're cousins, and I have zero kink for incest, but that art of those two Silmarillion dudes always gives me intense shippy vibes. And I read the Silmarillion all the way through, found it dull as fuck, but still went out and looked for pictures of those guys. Whose names I can't remember. lol I blame the talented fans.
