okay.

so it's either a very fancy very nerdy little anvil paperweight

little tyelpe had a teeny tiny forge-like dollhouse made for him by feanor, who painstakingly designed every tiny detail and made all toy equipment himself because tyelpe, too young to be in forge, insisted that he absolutely needs to be a smith like his father and grandfather and needs to begin learning now.

and who was feanor to refuse his only grandson who wanted to learn his craft when he only started to walk without bumping into everything? feanor would be elated and would spend hours playing with tyelpe in his little forge. it was before the silmarils when feanor had all the time in the world for his beloved grandson.

the anvil was one of many parts of that dollhouse, one of few that made it to beleriand and the only one that made it through to the second age with celebrimbor.

he could never make himself part with it.

#yeah #nothing better than taking a look at an item appearing for like 1 second and making a heartwrenching headcanon #i love stabbing myself with angst #i headcanon that celebrimbor was very young when they left valinor #not a toddler but maybe an equivalent of 7-8 year old #old enough to understand some things but young enough to be absolutely traumatized #based on that one absolutely amazing fanart of curufin and little tyelpe where he apparently had a nightmare #and curufin says 'no one is coming to take you' and tyelpe responds with 'but they took uncle nelyo'#i saw it some 3-4 years ago and i kid you not it randomly appears in my brain just to haunt me #so he is still a child and was allowed to take some of his toys and obviously his little forge had to come with him #not all of it only some parts because there were more important things to pack #and feanor promised him they would make the missing equipment together once they settled down and were relatively safe #and then he died #and then over the years some of the toys were lost and some were broken #and then celebrimbor was no longer a child and when they had to run he packed food and clothes and weapons not his toys #but this little anvil he would snuck into his pack anyway #and against all odds the anvil made it through the first age unscathed #if there was one thing reminding him of better times it was this #somebody fucking sedate me #brainrot has taken control over my every thought literally #celebrimbor #tyelpe #telperinquar #curufin #feanor #rings of power #beleriand #valinor #first age #silmarillion
