Just My Fandom Ramblings

Leia, she/they. ✡️ It’s my mental breakdown, I get to choose the content I reblog Probably screaming about public health and/or history

[charlataninred]

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

How to Bury a Gentile

[thesummerestsolstice]

Silmarillion concept that has me gnawing on the bars of my enclosure today: all of Elrond's parents are terrifying eldritch beings actually.

Maedhros, with white fire pouring from his eyes, taken from the jaws of death anything but unchanged. Some whisper that he's not elvish anymore, not since his captivity. They can never quite agree on what that makes him, exactly.

Maglor, with a voice no elf ever should've had, beautiful and terrible and powerful enough to shake the mountains. Sailors along Middle-Earth's west coast whisper of a sea wraith, some horrible siren that roams the beaches on the darkest nights.

Earendil, a man made an elf, a star, a maia if some are to be believed. Slayer of dragons, guardian of the void. Someone who's spent so along around the Silmaril and the Ainur that some of that power lives within him now.

Elwing, a skin-changer with a voice and a laugh that sound like they were taken from a bird's throat. A witch who lives in a lighthouse, where the animals flock and the plants grow strangely. None of the Amanyar would admit to being scared of her, but few will venture in sight of her odd little realm.

And then there's Elrond, ring-bearer, Lord of Rivendell, kind as a summer.

Well, let's just say it probably helps that no one is expecting him to be normal. Or elvish. Or entirely comprehensible.

Yet another favorite LOTR headcannon of mine,

After sufficiently reuniting with Celebrian in the Undying Lands, Elrond immediately disappears into the woods and spends about a week there rolling in the dirt and not contacting anyone or responding to any summons and returning in his true, grimy, gremlin form. My reasons are as follows:

His kids had to get it from somewhere. First and most obvious, Aragorn. Followed by the twins, who, as far as I can tell, spent most of the third age in the woods hanging out with the dunedain and hunting orcs with no desire to do anything different or "more societally acceptable". And of course, Arwen who, while generally being more chill, gives off cryptid vibes and is also in love with Aragorn (honorable mention is all of Aragorn's ancestors, who Elrond also raised, and if he managed to raise the chiefs of the rangers for hundreds of years without any major complaints, I'm gonna say that he couldn't be that stuffy)

He's described as "kind as summer," and idk about you, but for me, I associate summer with going outside in grass, on a beach, or in the water and running around/wrestling with my siblings (nice but definitely loud and bright and untamed if that's the right way to phrase it)

if you're fine with the Rings of Power continuity. He's besties with a dwarf who are notorious for being at least a little grimy

he's one of a hanful of elves who are in the running for being High king/even just a king but has somehow managed to avoid the title and I imagine there's some sort of political clusterfuck in the Undying Lands when elves start getting reimbodied about who's in charge and this would very neatly at least put a dent in his reputation (Gil-Galad whose been trying to put him in charge since the second age never forgives him)

He's at least part Maia, which means he's more connected to nature and the natural world, which I have to imagine gets a boost once he shows up where there is still the most divine influence and whatever qualifies as magic in Middle-earth, since elves can stay there without fading

While by the time the LOTR rolls around, he's considered an elder and leader among the elves, he's also one of the youngest when it comes to the era that he was born in (i.e., the first age), not to mention half-human to boot and probably had to put on a very refined and professional veneer from fairly early on to get any amount of respect. The most formative part of his adult life was in the late 1st age and early second age where no matter how smart or kind or responsible or noble of a lineage he had he was surounded by elves who had seen the light of the two trees, the Calaquendi, and had never nor would ever have seen the light of the two trees, a Moriquendi, who obviously have very different reputations within elven society. So arriving in Aman, where for the first time ever he and his people are completely safe, he probably had to let off a little steam.

His dad, granddad, and twin brother all wanted to just go chill with mortals who probably had a lot lower standards than elves, and while only his twin brother did it, his dad did end up just spending eternity in his boat, not bothered by anyone (also his mom is a bird, so ya know more wild energy)

if you're a fan of Kidnap Dad's content, then you already know there are several variations of "Elrond and Elros were feral actually," ranging from they were like that the whole time to Maglor and Maedhros were not gonna raise two boys who couldn't survive and thrive in the most unhinged/bonkers standards, and I love it

If you have more ideas plz share. I am burdened with brainrot right now.

How the elves react to Elrond getting sick:

Maedhros & Maglor: Absolutely freak out. Assume Elrond is dying and that the Doom of Feanor's house has finally caught up to them. Maedhros insists he says in bed and makes him soup. Maglor starts planning a lament for his funeral. (He has a cold)

Gil-Galad: Tries to convince Elrond to rest. Always fails. Has resorted to getting Elrond a bed desk so he can do his work while he rests. Frequently checks up on him to make sure he's alright or to bring him little gifts to make him feel better.

Erestor: Also half-elven, so gets it. Inevitably gets sick whenever Elrond does because he refuses to stay away. They always end up sick together, but they are together, and that means something.

Celebrimbor: Has read multiple books on human anatomy for the sake of his cousins (Erestor, son of Caranthir included). Theoretically understands how to care for someone who is ill. *Checks notes* according to this, if I give you chicken soup every day for a week it will cure your *checks notes again* pneumonia. He's trying his best.

Galadriel: Does not understand human or half-elven biology very well. Has taken Elrond on a ten mile hike in the snow when he was getting over a cough. Elrond's Feanorian followers have never forgiven her for it.

Celebrian: I would say she uses Elrond being sick as an excuse for them to stay in bed and cuddle, but let's be honest, she doesn't need an excuse for that. Knows he can take care of himself, and is a lot more Normal about it than everyone else on this list. Elrond loves her very much.

Glorfindel: Fully willing to pick up Elrond (or Erestor) and take them back to bed so they rest. Takes his duty to protect his lord very seriously. A very comfortable pillow for sick half-elves.

Lindir: Absolutely freaks out. You thought his anxiety about the dwarves was bad?? Elrond always has to calm him down and assure Lindir that is, in fact, not about to die. He does sometimes ask Lindir to play for him when he's ill though.

tbh a lot of my advice boils down to “hey you know that terrible horrible looming thing you’re doing your best to avoid and distract and escape as much as possible but no matter what you do it just keeps looming and looming and ruining your life”

“just, fuckign, run straight at it screaming.”
