That's because this is Silmarillion

eglerieth

Elrond be like: I am 4/8 human, 3/8 elf, and 1/8 angel. My mother is a bird and my father is the planet Venus. My twin brother was the first king of Atlantis but somehow I seem to be more famous than him. I am one of three ringbearers, the other two being the female version of Feanor and a guy who loves fireworks. My foster father is a crazy homeless guy who likes music and his whole family is dead. My many-greats grandnephew is in love with my daughter. No one can tell my sons apart. I like waterfalls and am both a glorified innkeeper and a top-notch doctor. I am the voice of reason no one listens to.

Hello, I'm Clo and I might have a problem in the form of my love for a certain redeaded elf...

I kinda made myself tear up with this, so I decided to add the final #chibi to show another aspect of Maedhros that we should not forget... <;

“Again therefor in his pain Maedhros begged that he would slay him; but Fingon cut off his hand above the wrist, and Thorondor bore them back to Mithrim.”

Silmarillion – Of the Return of the Noldor

I really don’t connect with the idea of Fëanor being solely obssessed with smithwork and gemwork and scorning Maglor’s or Celegorm’s pursuits.

Fëanor is interested in everything. He’s the ultimate polymath. He’s a Renaissance Man tens of thousands of years before the Renaissance.

Music? He’s interested. Art? He’s interested. Linguistics? He invented an improved form of writing. Geography? He’s exploring (and likely mapping) the entirety of Valinor while everyone else is sitting in Tirion. Technnology? He invented Google Maps + Skype as a side project. Biology, chemistry, physic, geology, all yes. History, absolutely, especially about the Great Journey and Middle-earth. Basically, if it exists and isn’t another person, Fëanor is an expert on it and has probably made some signficant contibution to the literature on it.

Celegorm can talk to animals? That’s a fascinating avenue for research! There’s so much to ask them! Though he and Celegorm probably have different ideas on what to ask.

Young Celegorm: *conversation with squirrel*

Fëanor: How is their language constructed? Can you break that down for me by phoneme?

Young Celegorm: Dunno, but he says there’s loads of hazelnuts over in the next copse.

Fëanor: Yes, but which of the chittering noises meant “hazlenuts”? How do they signify direction? Do they have prepositions?

Young Celegorm: *shrugs* There’s also a good grove of walnuts a half-kilometer north.

Fëanor: Fascinating! So are you translating it as ‘north’ or is he saying ‘north’? Can they identify cardinal directions?

Young Celegorm: ...it doesn’t really work that way. I don’t translate, I just understand them. So, d’you want to pick nuts?

*goes off to pick nuts*

Fëanor: *remains frustratedly ignorant of squirrel linguistics*

On a scale from Turgon to Elrond, how well did “raising your sibling’s offspring/descendant in your hidden valley and having them fall in love with your daughter” turn out

On a scale of Thingol to Elrond, how well did “setting an incredibly difficult quest for your daughter’s mortal suitor” turn out

On a scale from Dior to Elrond (detouring briefly at Elwing and Maglor) how well did “raising twin half-elf boys” turn out

Elrond is so successful in everything because he’s not King

RIP to everyone else, but Elrond is different

faustandfurious

Tolkien’s universe is full of oddly specific repeating motifs and for some reason Elrond does ALL OF THEM better than his predecessors:

On a scale from Finrod to Elrond, how well did “building a hidden stronghold by a river” turn out?

On a scale from Fëanor to Elrond, how well did “raising twins on your own because your wife left” turn out?

On a scale from Beleg to Elrond, how well did “hanging out with stubborn mortals who refuse to listen to your advice” turn out?

Elrond looked at all the major historical figures of the first age and said: “I’ll be you, but successful”

Can we talk about Maglor for a second? Because I love this idiot. He canonically takes the most difficult territory to defend against Morgoth, and places himself in between the forces of evil and his brothers. He commanded the cavalry. He was probably a horse girl. He was said to be most like his mother in temperament. He is so loyal he immediately kills the man who was about to backstab Maedhros. He killed a bunch of Teleri, and then wrote a song about how it was the Noldor who truly fell that day. He burnt the ships. He was glad that Eärendil could be seen by all and everyone could share in the Silmaril's beauty. (He probably would have broken them to save Aman, too). He loves Elrond and Elros. He fights against his last brother in an attempt to return to the Valar he had defied. His loyalty leads him to defer. He chooses to live on. His voice was said to be like the ocean that he wanders beside. The last son of fire was lost to the sea.
