An Unhelpful Guide to the Silmarillion

This was inspired by all of the unhelpful guides to Kpop groups, I hope this is as fun to watch as it was to make

[huans]

the silmarillion is, like, the opposite of found family

instead of “we’re not related but we’re still family” it’s “okay yes TECHNICALLY we’re related but consider this, FUCK YOU”

Some resources for Silmarillion fic writers, artists, and general enthusiasts

I thought I’d gather in a post some websites that I have found useful when writing my fics.

The Silmarillion, full text. Includes some weird typos probably due to some type of scanned-pdf-to-text conversion software, but those are easily spotted.

Laws and Customs of the Eldar, full text from The History of Middle-earth: Morgoth’s Ring, scanned PDF. This essay written by J.R.R. Tolkien, with commentary by Christopher Tolkien, includes information on the elven life cycle and marriage, roles of men and women, Noldor naming customs, the fëa and hröa, death and rebirth, and the complex matter of Finwë & Míriel & Indis. Whether you want to write ‘LaCE’-compliant fic or not, it’s interesting reading.

The Silmarillion Writers’ Guild Character of the Month Biographies are great, comprehensive summaries of what Tolkien wrote about a particular character, complete with quotations and references, with some commentary. They’re by many different writers so they differ from one another but all are useful when you want to learn about a character.

Tolkien Illustrator’s First Aid Kit: Elves by Alqualaure on DeviantArt. A collection of character descriptions from across The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales and HoME. Includes Tolkien’s contradicting descriptions, so you can decide which to use.

Parf Edhellen Dictionary of Tolkien’s languages gathers definitions from multiple other sites. Easy to use.

RealElvish.net Name lists are an excellent resource for finding a name for your OC. I love the Quenya lists, because the names are sorted into categories by meaning and when you find one you like, you can click it and find many different versions to choose from according to your preference.

In the future, archaeologists discover the Lord of the Rings series, and mistake them for religious texts

The concept of the Silmarillion is fucking wild

You open your door one day. It’s Satan. He wants, like, your fucking laptop or a really impressive drawing you did or something. When you say, “Get thee gone Satan,” he murders your father and steals your drawing and also destroys the sun.

galadriel’s character arc is great because she basically goes from Punk Rock Rebel Princess to Calm Helpful Badass Wine Mom over the course of three ages

I misread someone’s “I don’t own the Silmarillion” disclaimer as “I don’t own the Silmarils” and legit my only thought was a heartfelt “good” as though the Silmarils are a real thing and all of us are in constant danger of being murdered by the Sons of Fëanor if we don’t tell everyone on the internet we don’t own them

I might remembering wrong, so pls correct me if I am.

If, in this fandom, WWX’s cynophobia is a running joke, then I’ll pin most of the blame onto the donghua team for animating the worst fears of someone who still gets PTSD from looking at even the cutest of puppies into a comedic scene. MDZS Q is a large example of that. JC full well knowing that WWX is scared of dogs, smirks and sets Fairy onto him. Somehow this entire scene is supposed to make one laugh; I simply become FURIOUS. WWX runs for his life and LWJ just stands there and lets it happen. Canon!LWJ would’ve sliced JC into half with Bichen the moment he did something so disgusting as using one’s greatest fears for shits and giggles.

You can’t run from the world. You can’t hide from it. But you can find power and purpose. A chance to survive the horror.
