A poet is a nightingale

Who sits in darkness

And sings to cheer its own solitude

With sweet sounds

ENVISIONING TOLKIEN :: MAEDHROS

and Maidros tall (the eldest, whose ardour yet more eager burnt than his father’s flame, than Feanor’s wrath; him fate awaited with fell purpose) 

There Maedhros in time was healed; for the fire of life was hot within him, and his strength was of the ancient world, such as those possessed who were nurtured in Valinor. His body recovered from his torment and became hale, but the shadow of his pain was in his heart; and he lived to wield his sword with left hand more deadly than his right had been.

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.

But the jewel burned the hand of Maedhros in pain unbearable; and he perceived that it was as Eonwe had said, and that his right thereto had become void, and that the oath was vain. And being in anguish and despair he cast himself into a gaping chasm filled with fire, and so ended.

Modern (human) Au Feanorians of sorts (Totally out of scale from each other despite my best efforts) I know that cutting their hair will probably be perceived as a blasphemy of the worst kind, but I had to try.

I think something seriously missing from Peter Jackson’s portrayal of the elves, something that Tolkien stresses almost every time he introduces an elf, is how joyful they are.

The elves of Rivendell, Mirkwood, etc are all portrayed as extremely jolly people. In the Hobbit book, when we are first introduced to the elves, they’re singing in the trees and teasing Thorin and co. Even when we’re introduced to the Mirkwood elves, who live in a much more dangerous environment, they’re feasting and singing to the barrels as they float down the river. Even after fighting in a war, their spirits aren’t dampened.

Tolkien stresses the joy of elves so much that it is used as a fucking narrative device to show when a situation is really really bad if even an elf is upset about it.

Elves are also meant to be a comforting presence to the reader, they are a kind and friendly folk and we know that the characters aren’t in danger around them.

Peter Jackson just kinda….misses all of that??? The films portray the elves as stoic and mysterious. All of the elves that he portrays rarely speak, let alone smile and it takes away from such a vital cultural aspect to the elves that they are an extremely warm and happy folk and it is their happiness that lifts the spirits of others and inspires them to carry on despite all the hardships.

Fëanor was the mightiest in skill of word and of hand, more learned than his brothers; his spirit burned as a flame.

Seeds For Tomorrow

Inspired by the brave Ukrainian woman who told the invading Russian soldier “Put sunflower seeds in your pocket so that sunflowers will grow when you die here.”
