Rockstar AU
So, @your-local-metalhead and myself were at our shenanigans again, plotting out fabulous headcanons and this glorious monstrosity was born:
Band Name: Lights in Shadow
Band Lineup:
Ratbag - lead male vocals, flute
Maglor - also male vocals, keyboard, I mean he can really do anything the band needs him to
Az-Harto - drums
Idril - bassist
Baranor - guitar
Talion - security guard
Eltariel - security guard
Flak and Torz - any special effects needed, especially pyrotechnics
Shelob - manager, promoter (absolute girl boss)
@your-local-metalhead - stage crew, groupie
@that-pissed-off-tolkien-blogger - gutturals, stage crew, groupie
Social Media:
Talion, Az-Harto, Idril, Baranor, Eltariel, Shelob have insta
Flak and Torz share a TikTok where they post videos of them doing ridiculous stuff and trying out experiments with explosives and what not
Ratbag has a tumblr and is the uruk behind the camera on a lot of Talion’s posts
Maglor well we joked about him having a myspace but I mean we never decided in the end
Talion’s Insta is nothing but vids of him at the gym giving workout tips, showing how to do different workouts, giving general workout help and ideas, and dietary tips including delicious recipes for cheat days
Eltariel's insta is nothing but selfies of her wearing sunglasses in front of cool looking historical sites or gorgeous nature shots. Occasionally she's got other people in her selfies including Krimp. The person who appears the most is Idril, who always wears matching sunglasses
Az-Harto's insta is him working on his drums or working on cars and stuff. he doesn't post often like once every 2 months
Idril has photos of her with other band members, her bass and Baranor, and she is stylish as hell in all of them. All of her pics with Talion are them in the gym or out running (bonus points if you can spot Ratbag in the background drooling over Talion)
Ratbag is an absolute darling on Tumblr. He interacts with fans freely, posts frequently and answers asks.
Tumblr is where Ratbag posts his selfies, vids, the works
There’s a section on Ratbag’s blog dedicated to Talion’s arms
Baranor’s insta is mostly pics of him with the band or his brother, beautiful landscapes that are mainly Lithlad
Shelob’s insta is also a bunch of fashionable stuff (all in black or dark colors) but then there's a shit ton of creepy stuff and pictures of her pet spiders
Other:
Ratbag and Talion are dating
Just after the end of a concert, Ratbag gets Talion on the stage and kiss him in front of everyone. That's how they made they revealed their relationship and I like to think it was also an act of protest against racism and homophobia
^Ratbag is 100% on his tiptoes for that
Some people do ship Talion and Eltariel until the public smooch
Idril and Eltariel are dating, but they don’t broadcast
Idril is bisexual
Baranor is asexual
he’s Idril and Eltariel’s #1 supporter because he’s got a big brother-little sister relationship with Idril
no one takes Eltariel seriously until (and this happens at each concert) she subdues some massive olog and Talion doesn't even lift a finger to help her because he knows she can handle it on her own
everyone has their own fanclub, including one specifically for Talion’s arms for which Ratbag is the President
Though, Mags has the most fangirls/fanboys because tragic ancient hot scary Feanorian Elf. He's also got that slightly feral, weather-worn, mannish look that elves thirst for
Mags is 100% a thirst trap...for everyone regardless of race
Honestly, people are utterly shocked at his reappearance
Originally, they look at Celebrimbor as manager but Mags isn’t having any of it
First words Mags every speaks to Celebrimbor: "Get the fuck out"
"You were a nice kid, now you're a bastard"
"Reminds me of my dear brother who was also your father"
Shelob always wears stellar high heels
If anyone is interested here is a playlist of songs we’ve got for the band: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5BpJKdAnRq8LKDANXAtpeZ?si=zJroIP71QtKjIm-W7qI6jQ&nd=1
feel free to throw on stuff if this gives you inspo! and feel free to make yourself like stage crew or a groupie XD
