Ah, but who is your favorite Silmarillion character if not Maedhros? 😂

Fëanor's my number one now haha, his eldest has been demoted.

"Maedhros did deeds of surpassing valour, and the Orcs fled before his face; for since his torment upon Thangorodrim his spirit burned like a white fire within, and he was as one that returns from the dead."

resentfully throwing this ginger mass murderer into the tumblr void because i've been trying to get his eyes right for weeks to no avail and now he's been bumped down to my second favourite character accordingly.

every fictional character is bisexual unless they aren’t bisexual. this is what I believe in

[lotrhobbitsilmincorrectquotes]

Young and naive Maedhros: I hope something good happens

Adult and tired Maedhros: I hope whatever bad thing happens next is at least funny

#tolkien#ok but this raises the question:#which disaster is Maedhros version of 'I miss when the big boat was stuck :('#what is his Ever Given?

@shrikeseams

May I propose: Glaurung's first attack.

What's the problem?: Weird giant lizard is attacking people

Will this cause a political crisis?: No.

How will society solve this problem?: Fingon is attacking the weird lizard back

Is there anything I need to do in Himring?: No.

What are the expected long term consequences of this problem?: We know weird lizards exist now.

Did one of my family members cause this problem?: No! This is a pleasant surprise.

There’s a lot of excellent examples of the difference between a million and a billion, but here’s my new personal favorite from a conversation I had today:

A million minutes ago was April 2021, the height of the COVID pandemic.

A billion minutes ago was November 121 CE, the height of the Roman Empire.

really jealous of people who can just... do things. like they dont go through the 39 stages of grief before and the 47 stages of grief after. they just do it like its some adidas commercial. like the spirit of shia laboeuf possessed them. still sounds fake to me but whatever. good for them ig

Maeglin did nothing wrong ever in his entire too-short life, except for all things he did wrong. Hope this helps!

Maedhros.

don’t ask about my lights and shadows i’m as confused as you are

[aotearoa20]

Maedhros: I don’t have emotions

Narrator: He did in fact have many emotions

Caranthir: Well, I hate you all

Narrator: He did not in fact hate anyone

Celegorm and Curufin: We have a great idea

Narrator: They did not ever in fact have any great ideas

Maedhros: (sigh) Maglor can you stop singing commentaries from the balcony

Maglor: The great minstrel of the Nolder would not in fact be silenced

Personally, as a treat for me, I think there should be atheist elves living on middle earth. I don't mean like that they don't believe the Valar and Maiar exist, and helped to shape the world. I mean that they don't believe the Valar about Ilúvatar. Like, they just think those are some powerful guys who lied to consolidate even more power.

and said elves should include thranduil.

hardcore silmarillion fans are like. the terrifying and incomprehensible creatures at the bottom of the deep ocean that is the tolkien fandom

[nelyoslegalteam]

the feanorians are the albatrosses of elves. in any given category, they are The Most, if not at least Extremely.
