#this is going on side bc actually my favorite silm thing is thatmaedhros does paperwork To Cope#you KNOW he's decompressing from The Horrors with some boring paperwork#being exhausted about the paperwork is the highlight of his week. it does not make him any less exhausted about the paperwork.#if your maedhros is not fundamentally A Guy With A Briefcase at heart have you truly written a maedhros. no <3#caranthir invented taxes for fun and then when they stopped being fun he invented tax fraud. an autism moment if you will. -@nelyoslegalteam

We don’t talk enough about how fanfiction writers love to give character large amounts of non-specific paperwork they hate doing

#I think we as a fandom underutilized the inherent finwian dichotomy #Of being a family good at rabble-rousing speeches and valiant/violent last stands and military charges #While also very possibly being the people who Invented and Refined centralized government bureaucracy #Like. Finwe Invented Paperwork. Feanor invented tengwar to Help Dad With Paperwork. Fingolfin and Maedhros invented Committees #And also annual reports and biannual progress reports. #...galadriel introducing doriath and then lothlorien to Paperwork?
