"And it is told of Maglor that he could not endure the pain with which the Silmaril tormented him; and he cast it at last into the Sea"

I think my funniest take on maglor is when I imagine him as a morose waif well before anything bad ever happened to him. He was the emo kid with his preppy family. He was well known for writing laments in the middle of valinor, a place that's notoriously lamentless. There was a whole year in which he refused to speak unless it was in poem or song. There was an even longer period of time in which he refused to put his hair up or wear any adornments when performing because it apparently distracted from the music—he'd just roll into concerts looking like the grudge but kept being invited onstage because he was just that good. I need him to be maedhros and celegorm's (admittedly incredibly talented) loser brother that gets dragged out with them because they adore him.

I once saw the Mandarin version (Taiwan’s) of The Silmarillion at a book store, and its cover is the illustration of Maglor casting a silmaril into the ocean by Ted Nasmith. I absolutely love that illustration, but every time I think about it I find it funny because it basically just puts the ending of the quenta silmarillion on the cover, but if you haven’t read it you won’t have any idea what it means.

You see it as soon as you see the book, however until you finish it you won’t know what the cover illustration is about and will think it’s just a random guy yeeting stuff into nowhere.
