love how versatile feanorians are. for you those are reasons to hate him, for me that's a (non-comprehensive) list of reasons why he is my blorbo
i've decided to become a maglor hater for no reason other than i think it's great discourse.
FUCK that stupid bard getting away without consequences while his brothers all DIE. oh what if we just give up the oath hoop dee doop dee doo doo. GOOD FOR YOU, MAGGIE. HAVE FUN BEING ALONE.
#silm#not art#maglor#he is a fascinating character#with everyone else he will do whatever he pleases with no regards to stuff like 'murder is bad' and such#but when he is in the vicinity of any of his brothers he will attach himself to maedhros and follow him unquestioningly#i think the only time he actually didn't concede to another feanorian was#when he decided not to send another army after mae on thangorodrim?#despite him surviving the longest (and therefore having a greater than average number of lines)#its surprisingly difficult to figure out who he is without mae#there's his music/the noldolante; his duel with uldor; and his argument with mae#i see him almost who feanor might have been if fingolfin had been the older brother#his station isn't necessarily threatened and he's free to explore his own crafts#and mae is more interested in statecraft anyways so he trusts him to do his thing#especially since mae's tactics are generally not-catastrophic (or at least better than c&c)#he blames himself for everything that goes wrong (noldolante; sad beach cryptid) and has this fundamental perfectionist need to *fix it*#but he also has rather volatile emotions (usually channeled through his music as an outlet) and his worldview has been shaped by#the centuries of violence that led him to that point#so his solution for 'kinslaying bad' is 'try to kinslay more successfully'#his solution for 'the oath is Not A Good Idea' is 'convince the valar to void it'#he's weird and sad and keeps causing worse problems as temporary solutions#also crablor is funny
