The Damage Done: Stories of the Noldor in Exile This is the link to the wip covering the First Age, possibly more considering certain things characters seem to want. It's dark. I have no control over the ships. I have no control over how characters will act. They just bounce into my brain and declare their characterization.

Silmarillion characters rated on a scale of 1 - 10 based off behavior in airport security

Feanor: -10/10 - refuses to give up his sword. Threatens the security with it, telling them to get thee gone from gate F7. Is arrested.

Maedhros: 7/10 - very on top of things. Has all of his things in the xray bins, and manages to get all of his brother’s things set for security too. Points deduced because he always forgets to warn them about the metal prosthetic hand and then cracks hand jokes when they ask him. He is also too tall for the xrays you walk through but he’s apologetic.

Celegorm: 2/10 - he rolls his eyes but abides by the no weapons rule. He says they can’t take his teeth or claws. He does not, however, do all the paperwork to bring however many animals he has at the moment. And some bite.

Amrod and Amras: 6/10 - they trade passports between each passport check. Sometimes more. Otherwise Maedhros is able to get them to behave. Sort of.

Celebrimbor: 8/10 - is excited to be traveling with his friend Annatar. Follows all of the rules and is on perfect behavior. Except he tries to gift each person working there a ring. His friend smiled creepily each time someone took one.

Beleg: 4/10 - argues that he does not have to remove his red boots because he is unbegotten, and if old people don’t have to remove them he doesn’t have to.

Fingolfin: 5/10 - on good behavior until he gets into an argument with security to release Feanor. Gets delayed so much by this that he misses his flight and has to take one with the A/C stuck on.

Fingon: 8/10 - pretty well put together, until he slips further forward in line to argue with security a little about Maedhros's prosthetic. He accidentally drops he is the reason Maedhros has it.

Turgon and Aredhel: Not applicable. They wander off and miss the flight and aren't seen until the next family reunion several years later, where Aredhel has a son and ex husband she won't explain, and the kid keeps making comments that suggest Turgon killed someone.

Argon: 9/10 - doesn't create problems and has perfect behavior, but people keep picking fights with him.

Finarfin: ?/10 - says he is a king so he don't have to go through security. Was giving off enough vibes that the security guards just let him though. Unclear if he is actually allowed to do this.

Finrod: 2/10 - holds up the line for ages because he wore so much jewelry that it keeps setting off the metal detector. He cannot take off enough for it not to go off. They send him to take more off at least 5 times. Almost wanders off past security to investigate the food court and souvenir shops twice, has to be pulled back. Eventually finds his way into the back hallways and pilot's lounges. Strikes up conversation with one and convinces them to teach him to fly a 747 someday. Leaves with extensive knowledge of plane terminology. Cannot hold a normal conversation for the next 2 weeks.

Aegnor: 3/10 - was So Ready to take off his shoes and put everything in bins, then experienced love at first sight with a woman in a neighboring line. Was so enraptured by her he forgot to do everything. They meet after security, and share a brief 57 minutes before they are dragged onto different flights, never to see each other again, and heartbroken.

Galadriel: security thinks she is a 10/10. She is in fact a 1/10 who smuggled several weapons past them in case Feanor tries asking for her hair again.

Edrahil: 6/10 - perfectly behaved, security didn't even realize he was there, until he insisted on holding all of Finrod's jewelry for him, saying the jewelry should be passed to a steward while not on Finrod's person. Tried to give it to Aegnor but Aegnor was still staring lovingly at Andreth.

Gandalf: -15/10 - the one time he tried to fly he attempted to check a cart of fireworks, and was caught with a significant amount of pipe weed. On the no fly list.

Huan: 4/10 - ate his service dog paperwork because he found it demeaning, was one of Celegorm's undocumented animals. Was better behaved than Celegorm. Slightly.

Beren: 5/10 - can be polite but won't if insulted

Luthien: -100/10 - airport security can't keep track of her, can't keep her out of places, and just has to let her do what she wants.

Gildor: 5/10 - fairly well behaved, but a little prone to wandering, and has a lot of questions about how things work.

Talion / Celebrimbor, Shadow of Mordor / War (Persistent hotp. ‘h’ stands for hot) Needed some relief smooch to get out of art block. Ref used. Anybody still out there? I need to check, once in a while. Say it with me, tumblr: “This is safe content.”

I was going to give him very short hair, something he could style with a single hand, but nah, long curly hair

apologies @tolkiensiblingsweek i managed my time badly this week and had no hours to write anything substantial, so please accept my quick little dry brush sketch of elrond and elros. also please appreciate the grey in elros’ hair and beard. this is a house welcoming of DILFs.

anyway, my little headcanon is that elros, being ridiculously long-lived, also possessed another gift, which is that he physically ages ridiculously slowly even compared to his own children. i like to see him as like 400 here. however, his views and personality, being so long-lived and also raised not only by elves but the nostalgia-riddled Noldor amidst their retvrn project, are not as swift to change as those of the other Edain. by which i mean, late in his rule, elros is the Numenorean equivalent of ‘old man yells at sky’, muttering about outfits getting too brazen and revealing and grumbling about parliamentary democracy, a phenomenon made all the more disconcerting by how he looks younger than his own grandchildren.
