Wait, isn't that the high king of the Noldor?

I need a glorestor fanfic in which erestor isn't a grumpy library creature but instead actively tries to flirt with glorfindel the moment they meet, repeatedly throwing compliments, pick-up-lines and dinner invitations his way only for oblivious glorfindel to think he's making a really good friend rn

Feanor would be a tra-la-la-lally elf if it wasn't for the doom

If the Balrog came back instead of Glorfindel, would they call him the Glorfindel-slayer?

I made a silmarillion themed island in tomodachi life and I totally get Eru Iluvatar now

My headcanons regarding the Feanorians' voices and speech patterns!

Feanor - medium deep and strong voice with a very distinct timbre that is easy to pick out in a full room; excellent voice control regarding pitch and volume; fast flow of speech with dynamic and pleasing intonation and metric; tends to lower his pitch at the end of a sentence; dramatic pauses

Maedhros - deep, rumbly voice with hoarse and rough elements after thangorodrim; surpringly warm timbre; can easily drown out other voices; lots of tension in his throat; usually speaks with a monotone voice and slower tempo but has amazing control over his intonation if necessary

Maglor - higher voice type with a soothing yet fresh timbre; very soft-spoken to compensate for his naturally loud voice; puts most of the stress on his vowels which creates a naturally melodic intonation but can get a bit whiny (rarely tho) ; incredible level of voice control and a huge supported range

Celegorm - deep-ish, smokey voice that vibrates nicely in his chest; tends to crack a bit around the edges; very fast flow of speech which sometimes makes him stumble with his words; no inter-word pauses; surpringly good pitch modulation (important to imitate animal speech)

Caranthir - medium deep voice with a cooler and more graceful tone; a little nasal; voice is naturally quieter than his brothers; lacking pitch and volume control which can make his speech pattern sound monotone but uses effective pausing and rhythm

Curufin - higher, smooth voice with a snob-ish timbre; more on the quiet side but effective (he WILL be heard); tends to artificially deepen his voice a bit; puts more stress on his consonants; slower flow of speech with very rhythmic, strong and intentional intonation and (over)precise articulation

Amras - medium to higher voice type; fresh timbre with a friendly but confident vibe; a little breathy with surprising amounts of head voice; neither loud nor quiet; milder intonation with a quick but effective talking speed

Amrod - very similar to his twin but quieter and more raspy than breathy; more soft-spoken and easily drowned out by other voices

Bonus Celebrimbor - smooth and rich medium voice tone; very warm and soothing timbre with a nice rumble; melodic and bouncy intonations; tends to speak quite fast but has great articulation like his father

I think since Tolkien named the first high king of the Noldor "hair-guy", instead of the next heir inheriting the title, there should be a "Who has the best hair?" contest everytime a high king dies to decide the succession.

I love the silm fandom for making every elf with unknown origins Maglor. Lindir? That's Maglor! Erestor? Maglor of course! What about Gildor then, huh? Finrod is his cousin!
