it would be an incredible prank by Cegorach if Slaanesh was never real and was just Cegorach in disguise this whole time, and all the Eldar souls that were "eaten" are actually just hanging out in the warp waiting until the day it can be revealed like a surprise birthday party, a prank so good it tricked even the other chaos gods and every species in the entire galaxy

I am the only who see parallels between the Uchiha, the Varia and the Noldo?

Maybe because they are grey rebels groups, full of ambitions and anger (towards the Ninth Gen and their lies about their Boss's heritage and his unjust imprisonment in ice, towards the Leaf and their exclusion of the Uchiha, towards the Valar for wanting the Silmarils and doing nothing to fight Morgoth)

Or because they are labeled as 'evil' because of that (for just having ambition to fight back, to demand and earn for things, be it freedom or revenge)

Maybe its because their main leader who really likes setting stuff on fire (but their love is just as fierce)

Maybe its because of the tragedy each story brings, of families torn apart and betrayal between all (of a old man that took him from the slums, of a weary shinobi that claimed he wanted peace and of gods that promised the paradise)

I actually get emotional seeing how much the elves revere Varda.

Faërie came close to vanishing altogether during the First World War, thanks to [the] associative confusion of the pre-war era, childhood, and fairy-tales. Yet Tolkien did not regard fairies as childish, and he was not writing nursery-tales, but an epic history of a world through faëry eyes. In her galloping survey of fairy traditions, Troublesome Things, Diane Purkiss says that ‘The Western Front made the fairy aesthetic seem both desperately necessary and hopelessly anachronistic.’ Tolkien’s account of the tragic decline of the Elves acknowledges that their time is over but urges the desperate necessity of holding on to the values they represented. Far from being a sign that the war had no impact on Tolkien, his commitment to Faërie was a consequence of it. ‘A real taste for fairy-stories was wakened by philology on the threshold of manhood,’ he wrote later, ‘and quickened to full life by war.’

Okay, if the forces of the Imperium, in some massive attack on the very home turf of Nurgle, were able to actually free Isha, the goddess of healing and life, in some titanic struggle no doubt taking place over multiple full books, anyone else think that might bring the Eldar and Imperium together? Shit's getting pretty bad out there and Guilliman already has some good interactions with the Eldar. Plus Cawl has already worked with them, and if my suspicions were correct and the Light Of The Emperor were capable of freeing Eldar souls from Slaanesh's grip, that would be a really great turning point for the entire lore of Warhammer 40k, a nice distant-but-friendly agreement? Both kinds of armies can completely plausibly still fight on the tabletop? I'm just saying, a "picket fence" relationship seems more and more plausible over time.

It was [Peter Pan]’s perpetual youth that came closest to the mark during the Great War, when so many young men would never grow old; and Tolkien’s Elves, forever in the prime of adulthood, hit the bullseye. As Tom Shippey notes, ‘There is no difficulty in seeing why Tolkien, from 1916 on, was preoccupied with the theme of death…The theme of escape from death might then seem naturally attractive.’ Much more robust than the airy miniatures of Victorian and Shakespearean fancy, the Eldar could shoulder the burden of these weightier themes. Their ancient roots in Germanic and Celtic myth, furthermore, made them apt symbols of timelessness in a twentieth-century epic about loss.
