[theworldisquietheretooquiet]

An unhinged attempt to fit deaths in the Silm into the 15 Fears/Entities of The Magnus Archives

THE BURIED

Fingolfin

So in all honesty I struggled to put Fingolfin in one of the others, but he’s here because he was figuratively weighed down by the weight of the ruin of the Noldor… and Morgoth crushed him under his weight, which was “like a fallen hill.”

THE CORRUPTION

Aredhel

She dies to a poisoned wound inflicted by her husband, which is very symbolic of an entity associated with infection and unhealthy love.

THE DARK

Eluréd & Elurín

They are taken by monsters into a dark forest, and their death is a fate unknown in the dark… I’m not crying… MAG 173 vibes.

THE DESOLATION

Maedhros

This works so well and was what originally sparked (ha) this idea. Throwing yourself into a “gaping chasm filled with fire” is exactly what a victim of the Lightless Flame would do. This fear is the manifestation of pain, loss and unthinking/cruel destruction, especially of potential. Maedhros both experiences this and is the perpetrator of this on countless occasions. His death is the consequence of these actions – his last sensations are “pain unbearable”, “anguish”, and “despair”.

Also, the parallels to Agnes Montague! Both are angsty redheads who were held up as the hope of a people only to fail in that role completely and die a meaningless self-inflicted death…

(I promise the others won’t be as long oops)

Aegnor & Angrod

Really all deaths in the Dagor Bragollach fit here – dying in despair in dragon fire is very Desolation.

Aerin

Unlike the others I don’t believe she ever gave into utter despair, and her death by fire has some defiant rage in it. Yet her life was marked by pointless pain and her death by destruction; she burns herself alive to avoid the revenge of the Easterlings.

THE END

Maglor

He’s haunted by inevitable death throughout the narrative - the unstoppable end of all his brothers, cousins and Beleriand itself. Assuming he fades, he dies the closest to a mortal death from old age of any elf.

Morwen

She dies nearly as soon as Hurin finds her on the grave of her children, one of the last of the Beorians, a ‘dead’ people.

THE EYE

Húrin

As Thingol tells him “for he that seeth through Morgoth’s eyes, willing or unwilling, seeth all things crooked”. A figure that keeps constant watch and horrible knowledge that may destroy you are both of the Eye.

THE EXTINCTION

Turgon

The Fall of Gondolin represents that final extinction of all Noldor culture, power and craft in Beleriand – and it was brought down by a Noldo (Maeglin). Destruction by our own doing is very Extinction.

THE FLESH

Celebrimbor

(Yes I know he doesn’t technically die in the Silm sshhh) But being made into a human banner and paraded by the enemy is quintessentially Flesh fears of reshaping and mutilation.

Finduilas

She was “fastened to a tree with a spear”, which is the sort of physical mutilation this entity represents.

THE HUNT

Finrod

He killed a werewolf … with his hands and teeth. Yeah.

Celegorm

This boy is the biggest avatar of the Hunt. He literally canonically served the god of hunting. And his hunting after the silmaril led to the second kinslaying and his death.

Ambarussa

If we go with the idea their own followers turned on them and killed them at Sirion, it has the Hunt energy of predator becoming prey.

THE LONELY

Maeglin

Kind of leaning into popular fanon here (because it has been a while since I read tfog) but his betrayal of Gondolin links with his isolation as Eöl’s son, Sindarin and the way he was raised in Nan Elmoth. Plus his whole being a creep for Idril thing as a desire to not be alone.

THE SLAUGHTER

Dior

The sudden, awful violence of the second kinslaying basically.

Fingon

His death signifies to me the pure, horrifying, unmotivated violence of war which the Slaughter represents. They “beat him into the dust with their maces, and his banner, blue and silver, they trod into the mire of his blood.”

THE SPIRAL

Fëanor

There’s the lies spread by Morgoth, Feanor’s own deceit of Fingolfin at Losgar and his description as “fey”, all which lead to his death, and lies, false friendships, deceit and madness are all characteristics of the Spiral.

Thingol

He was mad to speak to the dwarves like that and not expect consequences lol. Also his obsession with the silmaril is a little like madness. And I guess you could say the dwarves ‘deceived’ him as they never intended to give him the Nauglamir.

THE STRANGER

Beleg

Case 1.0 of Túrin killing a love interest because of mistaken identity.

Nienor

Case 2.0 of Túrin ‘killing’ a love interest because of mistaken identity. Feat. Accidental incest. Also Nienor experiences the creeping sense of knowing something is not right but not how.

THE VAST

Eöl

He gets yeeted to death. Simon Fairchild is jealous.

Elenwë

Dying an ‘insignificant’ death in the unfathomably deep and barren void of the Helcaraxë is very indicative of the Vast.

THE WEB

Túrin

He is the poster child for being trapped in a machination, and not knowing it, Morgoth makes his will not his own with the curse. With his many names he tries to escape the web Glaurung and Morgoth cast over him, but to the end he only furthers his own doom – “master of doom by doom mastered”. (Even his sword was working against him RIP.)

[that-angry-noldo]

....silmarillion magnus archives au???? (<- knows next to nothing about tma or whether this would work at all)

ehehe thank you >:) this is actually something i'm slowly working on so i will avoid spoilers but here's a few bits of worldbuilding

Dread Powers, no matter what some say, are not domains of the Valar. It is not known when exactly did the Fourteen come into existance; it is entirely possible they were created during the Great Music, possibly even the Discord, but it also may be that they started to emerge slowly, with the developing of fears. Some claim the Powers came with the disruption of the world that came with Ungolianth and destroying of the Trees. However, it is not true, as it is known The Dark existed far before the elves even stepped in Aman; the oral records of its various manifestations, as well as manifestations of The Stranger and The Hunt are present in the oldest folklore of Cuiviénen, which adds points to the theory of the slow emerging.

Similarly, the Dread Powers are not the creation of Melkor, just as they are not created by any of the Valar. However, out of all the Valar Melkor is the one to exploit them most often, his favorites to manipulate being the Dark, the Filth, the Desolation, the Buried, the Hunt, and the Slaughter. In the case of Hùrin and his children, for example, many powers are at play, most of them believed to be orchestrated by Melkor: the Eye for Hùrin, made to watch the slow demise of his family; the Web and, in some ways, the Slaughter for Tùrin (also applied to Hùrin post-angband); the Desolation for Aerin, the Stranger for Morwen.

However, not only Melkor uses the Powers, as many of them can be traced to various other Valar. The followers of Oromë, for example, are most often than not devout avatars of the Hunt; many manifestations of Filth, also known as Decay, appear in domains of Yavanna, and the Eye is Manwë's brand at this point.

Many fears vary from race to race. As was established by Finrod Felagund and various Bëorians he was in touch with, the Filth and the End are present in humans much more often than in elves, and the Stranger, as "Athrabeth" suggests, was the first fear the humans ever experienced. Similarly, the Buried is present in the Noldor, known miners, much more often than in the Teleri; however, the Teleri are more often subject to the Vast and the Lonely. Helcaraxë and the Darkening were the first times the End was experienced by the Amanyar en massé, though most theorize Fëanor was touched by it through his entire life.

The Extinction comes into play during the second age in Numenor. It is not known if it has died with the island or if it adapted to feed om the elves who decided to stay in Beleriand and slowly fade.

redid my avatar layout for like the gazillionth time bc i was happy my dog silvio came home🩵

[outofangband]

Morwen, for the character ask?

Sexuality headcanon: bi and arospec. I headcanon her as having Alexithymia though so that has an affect on how she approaches orientation even if there as the same vocabulary in their context

OTP: Húrin. I love their relationship so much.

Favorite friendship: Húrin also? But I've also read lovely fic about her and Rían, her younger cousin. And Aerin ❤️

NOTP: I mean I can think of characters that she'd probably be miserable in a relationship with but I feel silly calling ships that don't currently exist a NOTP if that makes sense

This reminds me of a time where I saw someone making post after post raging about an avatar ship that does not actually exist, like I checked multiple archives

First headcanon that comes into my head: she didn't speak until she was almost six

One way I relate to this character: I've also gotten falsely accused of witchcraft! For antisemitic reasons but still

More seriously though I also am blunt and direct sometimes too much. And of course I also love Húrin! I relate to Morwen very much in that.

Thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about the character? I mean there are things that make me shake my head and think 'Morwen I'm not sure that was the best approach' but not really embarrassment and also certainly with the knowledge that I've said similar to worse

Cinnamon role or problematic fave: neither. I love her and she's my favorite female character in the legendarium

[elissastillstands]

Thanks to @frxstguardian for tagging me in this! The prompt was to list my ten favorite characters from ten different fandoms, in no particular order, so cue the trumpet fanfare, I guess?

Bedelia Du Maurier - Hannibal

Martha Jones - Doctor Who

Aerin Dragon-Killer - The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley

Helena G. Wells - Warehouse 13

Korra - The Legend of Korra

Magneto - the X-Men franchise

Azula - Avatar: The Last Airbender

Clytemnestra - Aeschylus' Oresteia

Jessica Jones - Marvel's Jessica Jones

Gahhh, it was so hard to narrow them down. This blog is all of a couple weeks old, so I don't have anyone to tag. If any of you all want to do this, go for it!

[that-angry-noldo]

Bold of you to assume Brodda isn’t already scared of the moon tbh. If you’ve seen Avatar, he gives me Zhao vibes except (cruel, creepy imperialists with regressive beliefs) I hate to say it but Zhao might be braver. Brodda does literally flee from Morwen because she looked at him. I’m 99% sure he describes this as a near death experience

Also @thelordofgifs your ask was amazing

-@outofangband

brodda IS scared of the moon but he could never even imagine his wife cheats on him with the moon. if he knew he'd invent witch burning solely for aerin.
