30 Day Tolkien Elves Challenge: 6) Did you ever cry because of an elf?
I am part of the Silmarillion Fandom. I think it would be more supprising if I have never cried because of an elf. xD
But yeah, more seriously, the answer is yes. As far as the books themselves are concerned, I watched all of my favorite characters dying one by one fighting a hopeless war. Fingolfin, Fingon, Finrod- Ai, Eru, I wept for Finrod. And each time I read that passage it only gets worse. Maglor and Maedhros I've shed tears unnumbered for. And Elrond...Elrond has been through so much.
Fittingly, much as I love him, I never cried over Fëanor's death. Oh no, I got mad. That said, the image of his body burning up because of the fire of his spirit as it sped off to Mandos, is probably one of the most beautiful and poetic ones in the book, and one of my favorites.
Beyond the book, I've read so many fanfictions that leave me in tears, or feeling just a sense of wistfulness and loss...The Silm fandom is really good at delivering the feels, that's all I've got to say :)
