(Idk if you already answered this) what are the ships in your au?
Little to no "official" (aka established within canon) relationships, but lots of implied ones! Very little ships will have an "endgame" since romance isnt exactly the focus, but it does have a few plot points!
Ships that are HEAVILY implied, as in one character has or has had a crush on another:
Hamliza
Jeffmads
Lams
Mulette (semi platonic)
Leggy
Meggy (maria x peggy)
TheoBurr
Ships that are less heavily implied, they have some subtext in the story and may get some doodles but are not explicitly stated:
Leebury
Burrens (burr x laurens)
Hamburr
Ships that CAN be inferred (?) from plot points or moments in the fanfic but are not heavily implied:
Mangelica (maria x angelica)
Marliza
James² (madison x reynolds)
Leeburr, Seaburr, or Leeburry (lee x burr x seabury)
Elams
Laurbury (laurens x seabury)
Theliza (theodosia x eliza)
Basically, you can ship just about anything and you're right. I won't entertain every single ship, but i will entertain most!! If you would like to see your ship drawn in this au, send an ask and ill get to it eventually! 🫶
Silm reread 10: ☀️&🌙 and Yavanna being actually awesome
We get a flashback of the Valar sitting in silence after the Trees died: they did have a private conference, it seems.
Corrupting Feanáro is names as one of Melkor's worst deeds (I still claim orcs and whatever-he-did-with-Men were worse) + we get a reminder of how great Fefe was and how sad it is, and Manwë cried for his fall.
I love Manwë's reaction and it is worth crying definitely. Also, how cool is that Tolkien not only has kings (Aragorn) and heroes crying, but the most important (sort of…) angel — the most imnportant one, not you, Melkor (but tbh you do have a lot of things you should cry about and it's not unmanly…) — is shown crying too. Which other fantasy author does so much healthy emotional vulnerability in his characters?
A reminder of how cool and epic the Noldor are fated to be, but still, evil is bad. Also, I really need a pic of Námo saying "but evil is still evil" or whatever it is in the original, to add as reply to many posts about how cool / useful / necessary this or that evil thing was. I should make one.
Sun and Moon are made and it is so wonderful!!!
First: Manwë tells Yavanna and Nienna to use their whole power and Nienna cries and later apparently (gives up????) steps back and Yavanna sings and she really tries. We know because she gets this "as she was about to give up" thing. Which means she did very well on the estel check. And the Trees pop up a flower and a fruit.
And then even better thing happens! Yavanna (yes, her!) takes them (her lovely plant-based stuff) and gives them to Aulë. To the very guy whose Dwarves cut her trees and what not (and who is also gher husband).
This is the single most awesome thing she does and she should be more like that.
We have a group effort (which is rare tbh and the Trees weren't one): Manwë blasses them, Aulë makes the containers, Varda powers them up to go to space, Vana and Orome give their Maiar to drive them.
Is the song about sun and moon an actual thing Tolkien wrote? I wish it was.
The Valar care about the other lands (we are reminded not so subtly tbh), about stopping Melkor and about the Avari and the exiled Noldor even. Also, the Men are coming.
Arien was originaly working for Vana, it seems (doing gardening), and Tilion was one of Oromë's hunters. But I assume from now on they serve Varda? It seems that the Maiar switch from one Vala to another more often than it seems. Maybe not very often, but it is not a strange thing and many of the imporatnt ones (Arien and Tilion, Melian and of course Olorin) are tied with more than one Vala.
Arien was originally a fire spirit, it isn't clearly said in the published Silm (or I can't find it) that she is the only one who did not join Melkor and become a Balrog. Also, her eyes are too bright even for the Eldar, and when out of Valinor she turned to a terryfying naged flame. She is so cool. <3
And Morgoth is very scared of the sun.
Daylight in Valinor is funny: dim in the morning because the mountains cast a shadow, brightest in the evening when Arien comes from her route. Why do I even need this information? I'm pretty sure it's different after the Fall of Numenor. But how would it work like? I need to figure it out.
Tilion is a rare example of a someeone who has (seemingly unrequited?) love and is neither a creep nor tragic. Unless it is requited, they just like teasing each other. Or maybe he's not in love, just thinks she's really cool and likes to look at her, but not like that.
Anyway Morgoth attacks Tilion with some spirits of darkness (uMaiar I assume) and loses. Doesn't attack Arien because she's scary. Oh. I was pretty sure he does in the published Silm, but if not, the better.
Also, we get the info on how Morgoth invests his power in spawning monsters and lies which gradually weakens him. I would like to see this in original too, maybe it's the translation, but the lies seem strangely creature-like in this grammar.
Description of Valinor's fortifications. Calacirya has watchtowers and guards. + the mountains are really really high. Also, Enchanted Isles become a thing and they put people into enchanted sleep till the end of days.
Also, Finarfin rules over the Noldor in Tirion, but they are few of them. So apparently, only a small part of the 90% who left, did turn back with him.
