Maedhros & Maglor Week Headcannons
I don't have the patience to write a fic or draw, but here is some of my thoughts for @maedhrosmaglorweek
Red hair that is LONG and straight but not very thick. Was a decent thickness and texture pre-beleriand, but after thangorodrim it is much thinner
Has oldest daughter vibes and also Catholic Guilt™ simultaneously
very rational and practical (until after the nirnaeth)
known to be the only level-headed one in the family (argument can be made for Caranthir)
Diplomat, good at negotiating
Battle strategist, many people in second and third ages (Elrond included) have studied his battle tactics and used them to win
Fights with single Longsword, Longer than you are tall
Taller than everyone (perhaps shorter than Thingol but he's taller than Turgon and that's what's important)
Besides Maglor is closest to Caranthir
Inherited Feanor's dark and thick hair but got Miriel's curls
has a big artist mentality, not very realistic in his ideas. This was a big issue with raising Elrond and Elros, because he idealized himself as a father figure and didn't always face the reality of the situation (Maedhros provided a lot for their education)
Lost the power in his Song after Losgar, gained it when Maedhros returned and unlocked it again to help his recovery
Taught Elrond and Elros Song, Elrond used it more but Elros was better at it naturally
Fights with voice but also dual swords
Only ever beaten at Song by Elrond and Elros once, they were nine and didn't want to go to bed
Closest with the Ambarussa
Went grey after Maedhros passed
Wandered the beaches forever before finally becoming Hozier
