Fëanor, addressing the Noldor: the journey is long and hard, but we shall not be cowered!

Celegorm:

Curufin: don't.

Celegorm: I'm gonna.

Celegorm: Hey Irisse! You know what else is long and hard?

So. Someone a bit ago commented on one of my fics (or here, not sure) about my penchant for odd Tolkien rarepairs. I myself forget just how many I have, so here’s the rundown and why I like them:

Maedhros/Maeglin (just. the angst. of being buried under your mistakes and finding a kindred soul to share that same burden and heal together. soulmates. who might’ve even met during the nirnaeth. and they’re definitely switches your honor)

Celegorm/Aredhel or Celegorm/Dior (or Dior’s reckless/headstrong stubbornness reminds him of Aredhel and there’s a lot of angry/bittersweet proxyfucking and guilt and ‘I don’t know who I truly love anymore’)

Maglor/Luthien (beauty for beauty’s sake. and honestly anyone but beren. luthien getting involved with the war to protect her murderbard boyfriend and actually putting a dent in morgoth’s forces. mags trying his hardest to protect her as much as the silmaril she won back for him)

Curufin/Finrod (sending your husband to his death (that he knew abt but didn’t tell you) and screwing up your sons and living the rest of your shortened life regretting soooo. many. things. and then having to deal with them after mandos. a bitter beautiful chaotic mess that can only end in tears)

Fingon/Varda (don’t ask: even I’m not sure—something something gil galad’s associated w/ stars and no one knows who his mom is and I like me some valar with greek god leanings)

Aegnor/Haleth (battle bros to lovers, bc haleth won’t take no for an answer like andreth did 😒)

Argon/Amarie (falling in love with your cousin’s ex was not the intention after being the first one killed/sent back. but she’s finally moving on from finrod and you’ve grown to care for her company more than you thought…)

Daeron/Beren (beren didn’t deserve luthien—this started as a joke but these two seriously deserve each other in all their squabbling glory)

Mablung/Nienor (they just. deserve happiness and peace. and lots of adorable peredhel kids. please)

Eowyn/Merry (same as above, but they have the benefit of having an entire shire to rebuild and different cultures to find wonder in and grow to love as much as their own)

idk I might be missing some but these are my thoughts on my main Tolkien rarepairs

she got the best of me

#because I am absolutely convinced that betraying aredhel through his ‘gifted’ horse haunted him until his death #even though he may not have heard of her death until the nirnaeth when turgon might have said something #and then seeing luthien so suddenly reminded him of aredhel #the last of tyelcormo died when he gave up on aredhel whether he knew it or not #the silmarillion #celegorm #aredhel #celedhel #someone tell me what their ship name is bc I’ve been using celedhel for years and I think no one else does :/#my art #tolkien art

I cannot draw feet without a reference (ಠ_ಠ)

but have some celedhel for your viewing pleasure

Fair maiden, you grew up in your father's house. Like a flower, beautiful and sweet on the green grass. In your tender youth you played with me. You were my best friend and my only joy. Then the world came between us and we drifted apart, Yet you, my dear, I will remember forever.

"Lapsuuden toverille", ("To a Childhood Friend"), P.J. Hannikainen. Translation from Finnish.

I think this song fits Celegorm and Aredhel so ridiculously well.
