Yes, we are very much assuming that.

Thank you for this unlooked for information about Silmarilion. I appreciate it.

I just want people to know there's a version of the Silmarillion where Tyelkormo was very good friends with Finarfin's sons, Aikanáro, Angaráto, and Artaresto, and he brought them along on the ships to Middle Earth. So this happened:

Unusual Headcanons Ask Game!

💖 - Romantic relationships or ships. (This could be as simple as sharing a rareship you enjoy, or an unusual interpretation of a popular/canon ship!)

Narvi - I headcanon that Narvi was actually the first partnership-relationship Tyelpe entered into, not that he wasn't aware that in Valinor and during the First Age he did attract the attention of people. He was just a workaholic and preferred to research, nerd and make things than turn his eyes and look for a potential romantic partner.

Tyelpe was also averse from romantic relationships for such a long time because he saw Curufin and Helwe's relationship deteriorate as he was growing up. Also, Tyelpe didn't quite like the idea of marrying someone, because he knows the burden of a marriage to Eldar, having seen his parents be trapped into an unhappy and loveless union and unable to free themselves from it.

Finrod - in my non-CuruFinrod verses, I also think of Tyelpe having a tremendous one-sided love for Finrod. This was a youthful thing though, developed during their stay at Nargothrond, simply because it's impossible not to like Finrod -- gold, beautiful, and kind. Tyelpe thinks he is being discreet with his very obvious preference for blondes (which will be detrimental for him later on), and Finrod does not act on it.

Annatar - oh, he loved that strange elf. He loved how their minds and spirits seemed to in sync, but you had to hand it to Tyelpe because even if he was so in love, he was still able to clearly perceive red flags in the relationship and was even strong enough to initiate the break-up, even if it cost him his life.

But out of all of these three, Tyelpe considers Annatar the would-have-been love of his life.

🕊️ - Platonic relationships (friends, enemies, etc).

He was particularly friendly and close to Idril and Orodreth growing up. They had some sort of 'gang wars' as children; Idril and her girl friends against him, Orodreth and their friends where they tried to ambush each group with paint balls at every weekend after school and lessons. They were oblivious to the building quarrels and tensions of the family when they were children and genuinely enjoyed each other's company. Idril turned to them to 'fathom how boys acted like so,' and in turn Idril was their source of knowledge on girls.

Tyelpe mourned the deterioration of their friendships when the family got estranged from each other. Tyelpe loved and craved close friendships as he was an only child.

"... Have you kissed Bregor yet, Atar?"

"What? I mean---we did agree I would, didn't we?"

[thegreatstrongbow]

can you talk about Beleg and Orodreth for me? I'm completely normal about them really

Me too Anon I'm so normal and hinged.

They're cute. Sweet. Orodreth is pretty and shiny and new to Doriath, and Beleg is a player charmer, so of course he immediately starts flirting.

Orodreth deserves a nice strong Sinda to protect him and treat him how he deserves (it helps that Beleg, once enamoured, will basically do anything he's asked). Beleg enjoys thinking of himself as a Knight in shining armour.

It's a bit of a tragic tale, alas - war and the Girdle and time separates them. For all his promises to visit Nargothrond, I don't think Beleg ever gets around to it.

They do both get death via Túrin, though. Please imagine them thoroughly discussing the virtues of Edain men in Mandos together. It's actually a happy ending.

[thefatedfinwe]

"Do you really dislike the Edain so much?" Orodreth questioned Pitya with the most unimpressed look. "Or are you simply being ridiculous? That you can be more than suits you, I think."

Pitya glanced over in surprise and then smiled and shook his head, “Not at all, I find them clever and charming and have had more than one relationship with them, several kids out there of mine are half edain,” He pressed a lip to his lips,”Just like messing with your Atar, little Ory.”

✎ either for Orodreth or Celegorm, whichever you feel haha

Dear wisest and most beautiful Orodreth,

I hope you are not too overwhelmed running the kingdom without me. But I know you are not - you have the strength of your father and grandfather, and I am certain my sons are doing everything in their power to assist you.

I am looking to return within seven days, but I have a small request to make. A sizeable group of loyal Ñoldor will be with me, along with their horses, weapons and armour. I trust that you will make space and find suitable accommodations for them within your walls. I know from experience what a wonderfully kind and gracious host you are, and spare soldiers guarding your gates will never go amiss in these troubled times.

I look forward to returning very soon.

Yours faithfully,

Fëanáro

"Little cousin", Celegorm greeted her when she entered her bedchambers, once again perched on an open window. There was a slight smile on his lips as he watched her. He thought she looked quite pretty. "I have a gift for you."

Celebrían was unpinning her hair when she walked in, and glanced up at his voice. She was unsurprised to see him - Celebrían had long since grown used to Celegorm’s quirks, (and his propensity for breaking and entering.)

“Oh?” She asked curiously. “What do you have for me?”

[admirableringmaker]

"Naurondil, would you come to my rooms within the hour, I have something I need an opinion on?" Orodreth requested his companion as nonchalantly as he could, the question garnished with a polite smile.

---

Later, when the prince had retired and got himself ready, he perched elegantly on fine silks and satins, wearing delicate golden chains and jewellery across his skin, his bare body otherwise naked and covered scarcely by anything else. He shimmered softly with his golden glow in the room, and when his friend entered his bright gaze fluttered over to him. "Do you like it?"

When Naurondil had been invited to the Warden's chambers, he had not thought much of it. He had spent the last few weeks sinking his claws into both the tower and the Warden, making himself simply indispensable as an advisor. There must be an important matter Orodreth wished to discuss in private.

So he only had a fraction of a second to hide his shock as he entered the room. This was not what he had been expecting - he had not even been trying to seduce the Warden. Of course, even in this form, he considered himself so charming and beautiful, it really should not have been a surprise. It was more surprising that he did not have the whole tower crawling at his feet.

"My lord!" he allowed himself to blush, feigning modesty and innocent even as his eyes roamed over the Warden. Even Gorthaur the Cruel was not opposed to a few workplace indulgences. "I... you are... you are naked. Oh my."

Send 🍇 to handfeed my muse

@artaresto

Coarse rope bound her hands behind her back, the maiden clumsily sat on the couch, having no time to straightened her posture before Celegorm was back with a plate of food. Despite her running, he was going to offer her food again and this time she knew well enough to take it. She spoke through gritted teeth as he dangled a strip of meat before her face, not bothering to hide the anger in her eyes,

"Thank you, husband."

The Fëanárions are not greedy.

I see posts that say the Fëanárions embody the sin of greed, but that's not really true. It isn't greedy to want your stuff back. It isn't greedy to want to keep your stuff safe, especially when you know other people covet it. (The fact that the Silm says he "denied others the sight of them" annoys me. They're his things. He doesn't owe anyone to be in their presence.)

They aren't greedy, but they are something else: wrathful.

-----

You know what? I'm going to do this. I'm going to connect some characters with the sin they most embody imo.

-----

Pride - Turgon

Greed - Thingollo

Lust - Morgoth

Envy - Ar-Pharazôn

Gluttony - Tar-Vanimeldë

Wrath - Fëanáro

Sloth - Orodreth

send “📔” to read an entry from my muse’s diary about your muse

Angaráto brought little Artaresto today. He is growing so fast, he is talking already. Anga says he likes ponies - must write to Nolo to send some toy ones from Tirion. We played with the seashell collection - I think he will grow to love jewellery as much as Finda, he was quite fascinated by the shiny ones.

[legendariium]

"Who's this?" Celegorm couldn't help but laugh when he saw the little elf, thoroughly amused by the sight, and grasped the poor thing's chin rather coarsely, tilting his head up to take a good at his face. "If I hadn't known better I might have mistaken you for some little woodland mouse." (For the bean obvs)

The little elf in question was shocked at first, brown eyes wide as he froze in place. But that quickly dissipated into offense, for this wasn’t the first time Inunir had been mocked for his size and it wouldn’t be the last.

“And who are you? Don’t touch me!” He snapped back, slapping the other’s hand away and standing up straighter although it did little to make him appear any tougher.

Celegorm would be delighted if his name became a swear.

In the Third Age of the world, in Gondor, there is a trend to use names from the First Age as curses.

This has an effect that no one could have predicted:

1) Boromir trips over in front of the Lady of Lothlorien, (supposed) last Grandchild of Finwë, Survivor of the First Age… and curses using Orodreth’s name.

Galadriel is Not Impressed.

Celeborn finds it really, really difficult not to laugh.

2) Legolas, who spends a not inconsiderable amount of time in Gondor, arrives in Valinor whereupon there are a fair number of said figures from the First Age.

He swears using their names - in front of them - on more than one occasion.

It is Galadriel’s turn to struggle not to laugh.

[descendantsoffinwe]

"Atar!" Orodreth rushed to hug his father tightly, burying his face into his chest, apparently in some great distress. "He fell into the river and got whisked away!"

Angrod wrapped his arms around Orodreth, smoothing down the back of his hair. "Who fell in? Aika?" His eyes scanned the area around the camp, looking for his brother and not seeing even a hint of golden hair.

[thegreatstrongbow]

a little close

There was a certain joy in sneaking about. A thrill, the idea that they were doing something forbidden. Giggling, Beleg dragged Orodreth into a cupboard, showering him with kisses as they were pushed against each other.

Unbeknownst to Beleg, though, the door locked behind them.
