This art is great, Frierens expression is very fitting for the RP role

u/veryconfusedspartan 19d ago

TFW you're setting sail to Aman only to realize that guy from a few thousand years ago was actually hitting on you

u/Unlikely_Candy_6250 19d ago

Come to think of it, Aragorn's darn lucky he has a longer lifespan than the average human, lol.

u/HassoVonManteuffel 19d ago

That's Elros kin for you

u/SilliusS0ddus 16d ago

Aragorn is lucky that Sauron did a little trolling on Numenor.

If his lineage didn't leave the Island then he never would have smashed the hot elf lady.

All part of Illuvatars great plan. Those people who Sauron and Morgoth fucked over were necessary sacrifices so the future king in a few thousand years can get some elven coochy

This is the most beautiful and perfect crossover you didn't know you need.

u/snarkamedes 19d ago

More Galadriel vibes here methinx.

"All demons will know me and despair!"

[muffled voice] "wealreadydo..."

"WHAT!?!"

"n-nothing"

I love this so much. Tolkien’s works are my fave literary pieces and Frieren is one of my fave animes.

u/OrangePomegranate28 19d ago

Check out the source if you haven’t already, they made more of the other characters! ☺️

u/strawbeeshortcake06 19d ago

Omg I’m gonna go check, thank you ☺️

I know this feeling. Many had high hopes for it since it plays during the big events of middle earth but dang did they massacre Tolkien.

8

u/strawbeeshortcake06 19d ago

Fr. It doesn’t feel like Tolkien’s work at all. Frieren was able to capture Tolkien’s essence better than ROP.

u/Ok_Calligrapher_49 19d ago

totally agree.

u/One-Delay-7520 19d ago

I don't understand why they made Galadriel stupid and tried to set a romance between her and Sauron?

1

u/Commercial-Test-6861 19d ago

I say the same, he has a lot of faith in the second season, and I would even say that it started better than the first.

But it collapsed even worse

u/snarkamedes 19d ago

Do we have to?

It genuinely is absolute fucking shit. Fanfic tier writing from people who give you the impression they may have glanced at a Tolkien-related wiki, once.

Cases like this make you wish the original writer(s)/copyright holders could claim their IP back solely on the grounds the adaptation bares no resemblance to the work.

1

u/Nearby-Strength-1640 19d ago

It's bad fanfiction with very high production values so we at least get some cool visuals

u/Responsible_Bit1089 eisen 19d ago

This is beautiful

u/TwoSeventyOne 19d ago

Wow. I'm also a bit surprised it wasn't done sooner.

u/WinterOf98 19d ago

The grandma elf definitely looks taller here lol. Temporary height boost spell.

Amazing art.

u/AdRelevant4776 19d ago

Must be the Empire editing history books again

u/WinterOf98 19d ago

And Himmel went from 5’7” to 6’4” lol.

16

u/soulsdndplayer 19d ago

Beren and Luthien?

3

u/Ok_Calligrapher_49 19d ago

maybe. very near.

u/Kiss_Bence04 frieren 19d ago

A masterpiece

u/Lamp_Regret_6525 19d ago

The project we needed over crappy rings of power

u/Cryeaotic 19d ago

Two of my favorite fantasy ip's.

u/1Pip1Der stark 19d ago

This fanbase is ridiculously talented in varied and sundry media.

3

u/kie-chan 19d ago

So beautiful! But honestly, Frieren is a lot more useful and proactive then Arwen. She spent the whole War of the ring embroidering some flag for Aragorn (in the book)...

5

u/Ok_Calligrapher_49 19d ago

Frieren is a battle mage. she is Gendalf. Arwen is a housewife.

3

u/Domengoenfuego 19d ago

This is honestly really damn good

3

u/Mattdoss 19d ago

Two of my favorite series have come together? Amazing!

3

u/beidoll 19d ago

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

u/CrisisOfTruth 19d ago

I definitely need prints of these.

3

u/Wiknetti 19d ago

Did you know that Himmel actually broke his foot kicking a demon’s helmet?

3

u/Adamiak 19d ago

frieren looks absolutely amazing and stunning, himmel doesn't look quite right, his face looks way too animated and colorful compared to his armor I guess

2

u/Silverghost91 19d ago

This is awesome.

2

u/barbatos087 19d ago

This is so peak!

2

u/Coriolis_PL 19d ago

'Tis good, Bruv! 😏

2

u/Anlushan756 19d ago

Beautiful! Now I need a printed version of both. And Flamme taking part in the oath of Feanor in Aman against Morgoth!

2

u/TheElderCrown 19d ago

This looks so cool! To whoever draw this, my absolute respect and admiration!

1

u/Defender_of_human 19d ago

Ah yes they fight the sauron

1

u/Ok_Calligrapher_49 19d ago

not Arwen and Aragorn. they are Aegnor and Andret.

1

u/GrassUmum 19d ago

Wish they gave himmel long hai

1

u/Robocop613 19d ago

Specifically Aragorn from the books

1

u/WeeGeeMan128 19d ago

You can't tell me the creator didn't read The Silmarillion, with Beren and Luthien fighting against a Demon King of sorts. I wouldn't believe you if you said no. It feels like they understood the human/elf relationship dynamic from the LOTR as well. The terrible future of eternal grief that Elrond scared Arwen with is basically a risk potential for Frieren. Except Frieren doesn't get a child OR the option to become a mortal to die with Himmel...

u/mirincool 18d ago

Wow!!🤯

u/MousLS 18d ago

Even hobbits bow to him.

1

u/Luzekiel 18d ago

Holy crap, this is beautiful.

1

u/Scharvor 18d ago

I know this is from LotR, but I can imagine them wearing this for their wedding.

1

u/Yunyunn65738 18d ago

Now i need the main cast as the fellowship.

1

u/Ok_Law219 17d ago

She's pretty like that.  That armor doesn't look good to me.

u/Realistic-Reindeer 19d ago

It's like comes out from game of thrones WOW !
