I was going to say we need to be weirder about Maglor but then I remembered crablor. That’s on me. We need to also be DIFFERENT weird about Maglor.

Maglor who walks along the coast for thousands of years and does not stop singing. Maglor who after ages of the world have passed, has a voice that is made only for music. When he speaks, there is something too lyrical to the tone. He sighs and the world accompanies him. His raised voice sets the ground shaking, his laments call water like tears from the sky. He has to be careful when he speaks to people, however rare that is, because of it. He weeps and those who can hear him cannot help but weep as well. Maglor with a voice so powerful that he can no longer use it the way he could when the world was young. One more thing lost to the Oath.

#tolkien #silmarillion #silm #maglor #kanafinwe #crablor #The inherent tragedy of Maglor’s grief taking even his music from him #Too good not to contemplate #The world was made by singing— it’s a very powerful act #6000 odd years or something doing nothing BUT singing is gonna fuck up an elf #Even more than usual #I think there’s something to this as well #About falling in love with your grief #Letting it outlive and outgrow its purpose #Singing on the beach heals no wounds #Not maglors not the people he’s wronged #And losing control of his voice is that extension of his inability to truly move forward from the oath #And it means he is still losing things to those gems #Idk I’m not even a maglor girlie I don’t go here #I just think. Gestures vaguely. The quencies. Yknow?
