Anyway I think Elenwë convinced Turgon to cross the Ice. This solves two problems for me: (a) why Turgon was opposed to Fëanor in the big Oath-swearing, Finweans-have-an-argument episode but chooses to go anyway, and (b) why he builds Tirion 2.0 in Middle-earth. He never wanted to be there. He went for Elenwë’s sake, and now she’s dead, and he wants to go home. (Also it gives Elenwë some fun agency.)

Then they are re-embodied and are furious with each other. They don’t want to be, but they are.

imagine being a regular elf in Valinor and one day the morning edition of the Tirion Times's top headline is THEY'RE LETTING THE DEVIL OUT OF JAIL NOW

and the rest of the paper is full of op-eds about devil jail that you have to flip through on your way to find the crossword puzzle

"why did the ring mostly affect frodo and not bilbo who had it for a gazillion years" objectively has a textual answer but i think the best answer is that sauron just likes bilbo more than frodo

bilbo: *uses the ring to hide from his relatives*

sauron, remembering almaren: yknow. real.

Of births

Celebrimbor : COME BACK HERE AND LISTEN TO ME!

Curufin, turning to see him : I'm not going to listen to someone who came into the world by caesarean section because he couldn't be born!

Finrod : Curvo!

I love the idea that by Noldor standards, all of the royalty/leadership of the Second Age are completely feral.

I’m thinking scandalously unconcerned with all the little details of court politics. Like during High King Finwë’s reign, dressing/accessorizing incorrectly would be the most embarrassing thing ever or a devastating insult. A third of Fingolfin and Fëanor’s arguments were carried out via hair and jewelry. Fëanor underdressing to that one party was SHOCKING stuff.

Cut to High King Gil-galad, furiously trying to scrape together the free people of Middle Earth into something resembling a functioning government and not a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Hair fully down and not a bit of jewelry besides the crown, if that (gets in the way of helmet). Every elf born in Tirion is clutching their pearls. Lord Elrond can and has shown up to council meetings in his PJs. Not only has Celebrimbor cut his hair to his shoulders, he doesn’t even bother with a circlet anymore. Curufin is rolling in his grave.

Can't stop thinking about Maedhros having a Turin-moment

You Don’t Understand Fingon, He Has To Brood™

aka Fingon visits Himring and tries to seduce Maedhros into a healthy sleep schedule (he fails)

aragorn needs to be 10x weirder in all tolkien content. he’s too manly for elves. he’s too elvish for men. he roleplayed his crush’s grandpa, and then married her even though they were kinda siblings by adoption. he deals with his feelings by singing. he’s a horse girl. he was raised by elrond peredhel. he had the weight of the world placed on his shoulders when he was still an emo teen. everywhere he goes people think he’s lowkey a freak. let him own it.

The problem with young knights of the realm is that they’re all focused on finding the Holy Grail and not the clitoris. You may see heaven but will you ever see the queen orgasm? Methinks not.

Are the knights…supposed to be sleeping with the queens?

Okay hold up what is this image where is it from

Sir Lancelot is forced to crawl across the sword bridge (literally a giant sword spanning a rushing river) on his hands and knees to rescue Guinevere, who has been kidnapped. The scene occurs in Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart AND the Vulgate Cycle.

I'm surprised the knight kink crowd hasn't picked up on the fact that historical knights had a habit of capturing each other for ransom. What do you mean you don't see the sexual tension in rivals seeking each other out in battle or through ambush, deliberately avoiding harming their target so they may be taken back to the attacker's castle, either held as a prisoner or as a honored "guest" as the case may be, until they are redeemed by their friends and allies?
