“I felt the red-winged man gaze, I heard him speaking. I know who you are, he said, there are two ways this can go, no, three ways. I don’t want to count the ways, I said, I just want to finish it. I need to get to the end. His wings lifted and sanked. Oh my darling, he said, you’re a long way from the end.”
— Anne Carson, H of H Playbook

a concept. to consider.
what if. what if there was a Remember Them reprise after the Thunder Saga.
"We are not to let them die in vain" except he's the only one left so it's "I am not to let them die in vain."
and there's no backing chorus of his men. because. they're all dead.
and the line takes on a whole new meaning now that he's the one who chose to let them die.
(not in vain. it can't have been in vain, it can't have been for nothing. i have to see her. i have to see her, because if i don't make it home, those men died for nothing. the ends always justify the means. i can justify anything as long as it ends with Penelope and Telemachus both in my arms again. but if it doesn't-
but it will. it will. it has to.)
and our-
...
-and my comrades will not die in vain...

Something Neat About: Silmarillion Edition
So I had this idea a while ago to make a sort of mini series on this blog where I pick one Silm character for each installment and share something I like/find cool/neat/interesting about them (further additions from fans are also encouraged and appreciated!).
I like a wide array of characters in this amazing world for various reasons and keep discovering new faves - not least thanks to fellow fans who make posts explaining lore/appreciating their blorbos/analyzing meta - but I don't always get around to voicing my appreciation for them.
Now, I don't feel like going down an alphabetical list or through a category, so please comment/tag your blorbos, your faves, characters you want to hear about ^^
