Saying Goodbye to Anthony Head

He was our librarian. Our teacher. Our surrogate father. Our Watcher. We didn't always see eye-to-eye, but we always loved, and we were always here for him to test any theory.

Also, the man was fine as hell in drag.

The world feels less safe without him in it.

Hug your Buffy friends, folks. We're not okay today.

Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation

Thinking on the fact Maedhros canonically favored and (exclusively?) wore copper as a metal for jewelry and he was one of only two people in the entire Tolkien verse capable of destroying a silmaril.

I don't think he cared about the silmarils themselves at all. It was simply being a possession of his dead father and his oath that made him care.

I feel like it's an underrated bit of characterization that, of all metals, he loved COPPER.

Copper, while lovely, is soft and maleable and by it's nature will oxidize over time to become blue-green and so is doomed to change no matter what (time will change it's color, polish and care will wear it away a bit at a time until it's no more).

And Maedhros ended up doomed and changed irrevocably himself, like the copper he favored over the eternal and shining gold and silver everyone else loved.

I don't think there's any other character described as loving copper, or even favoring anything except gold and silver (and mithril which looks like silver) for metals, but especially not an elf.

There is no way any piece of jewelry worn by Maedhros could have truly survived in the state it was in when he wore it. It's all either altered in some fundamental way visually, or it's literally gone. Eroded by either time or the hands trying to battle back time to keep it pristine.

I feel like his love of copper is a foreshadow of both how he would change and be changed by the "oxidization" of Beleriand and also how he himself is capable of letting go of the silmarils because ALL of his favored jewelry is fated to be gone eventually, so he was always able to let go of material things, in perhaps a way no other elf could.

Headcanoning that he would ALWAYS have destroyed the silmarils after acquiring them.

The other sons of Feanor wanted to possess them again and end the silmaril conflict by returning them to the House of Feanor they belonged to, but Maedhros was quietly planning to have a true and final end to the conflict they bring by smashing the fucking things from the start.

It's just, he was horrifically tortured and mutilated, he was compelled over and over to kill, Fingon died, all his brother's died but one and he was even more TIRED and in despair from centuries of war and oath, so he destroyed himself along with the silmaril instead of simply destroying the jewel.

Me, shoving The Character into a jar full of glass shards and rusty nails so I can shake them violently: ....what

I say this with my full chest as a Dick Grayson fan that the important thing for a writer to keep in mind while writing Dick is that his superpower is his ability to connect with people, his ability to lead and inspire and befriend, and that he is like half the superhero community's emergency contact. He is also constantly in the middle of five messy situationship breakups because he's shit at handling his interpersonal affairs.

In the meantime, I have a collection of the greatest singers of Arda:) Finrod isn't really about music himself, but I can't leave him out of it. People like to compareDaeron and Maglor, but I think it's an absolutely pointless exercise, they're all about completely different things, and each of them is the greatest, in their own musical theme. Daeron is about the Hidden Realm, not touched by the darkness and distortion, about that magical world where the nightingale trills, the redolent fragrance of night herbs, and the ancient tribe life in harmony with the Forest. Maglor is about greatness and drama of Valinorian Noldor. And Finrod is about creating bridges across the gulfs that divide people, not without some help of his songs)… It's my opinion, I see it this way!
