How are we feeling during the aftermath of King D Day😌✨

[cilil]

Considering that he's basically saying "go get 'em" and that Utumno and Angband are pretty much the equivalent of hell/the closest we get to it, Dior is quite literally telling them to go hell which is beyond iconic

There are of course many problems with the construction of the second kinslaying chapter in the Silmarillion, but today I raise the grievance that Dior should’ve gotten to be as snarky as he is in the tale of the Nauglafring

10 tips for casual elegance ⋆｡𖦹 °✩

Reading. Reading. Reading. Being well-read is so valuable!! Get cosy, pick up a Jane Austen, Emily Brontë, or maybe a Charles Dickens and spend some of your free time indulging in literature. <3

Soft-spoken and kind expressions. No one likes being around rude people. Being a bitch doesn’t make you look confident. Instead, be kind, make conversation, pay attention, engage, etc… trust me.

Dainty jewellery. Find some high-quality signature pieces.

Think before you speak. Take a moment to reflect on your thoughts so you can speak confidently and with intent without stumbling over your words!! <3 

Quality over quantity. Stop buying large amounts of cheap clothing; instead, save up and invest in higher-quality pieces that will actually last you. :)

Practice your handwriting. Having pretty and neat handwriting is a lovely little detail; extra points if you write in cursive. ;)

Drop the tiktok slag. “sticking out your gyat for the rizzler”… just stop, please.

Keep to yourself. Small circle, no bragging, gossips only with the closest, keep your plans to yourself.

Watch your posture. Straighten that back, honey. I see you. :))

Manicured nails. I do mine every two weeks. Almond-shaped, always dark red. <3

As always, Please feel free to add your own suggestions and tips in the comments!! ♡ ₊ ⊹

@from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras this is canon to me now, thank you

Every take about Dior is juicier than the last. He bested all three Cs in single combat before Maglor felled him in a mighty rage? He was sent rabid after seeing Celegorm kill Nimloth and skewered him bloodily? He was more feral than Feanor and there are gratuitous paintings of him facing off with balrog-like feanorians? Don’t mind if I do.

Actual footage of Dior's spirit chasing Celegorm's spirit all the way to Mandos

I am not normal about Dior. My man grew up around someone who made Morgoth sleep and Mandos cry and around sassy shit Beren I-have-silmaril-in-my-hand *shows stump* Erchamion. He was 30 and went against idk how old but at least thousand-something Celegorm who trained under Oromë and was, like, the best hunter around? And WON. I mean, Dior himself dying notwithstanding, he actually killed Celegorm. He was 30? Give or take. My man was a BABY for a half-elf, this man had to be absolutely FERAL to achieve that. I bet he bites.

So I rewatched the entire Hobbit trilogy (extended editions, of course), and I'm not sure if this is present in the book, but in the movies, the fight over the White Gems of Lasgalen really does feel like it was pulled straight from the Silmarillion.

For those who haven't seen the movies: both Thorin and Thranduil claim heirloom rights to the White Gems of Lasgalen, and both are willing to fight, bleed, and die for those rights.

Thranduil claims the gems are rightfully his because they belonged to a dead loved one (his wife), as well as basically accusing the dwarves of stealing them.

Thorin claims the gems are rightfully his because they're a part of Thror's (his grandfather's) treasure hoard, which Thorin claims absolute inheritance rights to. We also know that the dwarves disagree with the idea that the White Gems were stolen at all. But his decision is also clearly being influenced by the fact that Thranduil has unarguably hurt his people in the past (by denying them aid when Erebor fell).

And it's kind of impossible not to see this as a reference to the debate between the Feanorians and Elwing (or Dior) about who rightfully owns the Silmaril. Exchange Thranduil's wife for Feanor, Thror for Thingol, and "refusing to provide aid" for "the kinslayings," and it's easy to imagine them having the exact same arguments about who owns what.

Given this comparison, two things come to mind. First, the movie doesn't seem to approve of either Thorin or Thranduil's choices here. Thorin's inability to compromise by giving Thranduil the gems in return for the elves' aid is critiqued by Balin and Bard seems aghast that Thranduil is willing to go to war over gems. Both Thranduil and Thorin defend their choices by citing their heirloom rights. And they're both portrayed as heroic during other parts of the movies (Thranduil bringing aid for Bard's people, Thorin eventually realizing that he was wrong to value gold so highly), but the trilogy wants us to know that the choice to fight and kill for these gems is, on both sides, a bad one.

The other thing that comes to mind is Elrond. In the first movie, Thorin's company finds an old sword, and when Elrond examines it, he reveals that it belonged to Turgon. The sword is pretty clearly an heirloom of Elrond's house. And Elrond what does Elrond do? He willingly gives it to Gandalf with the hope that it'll serve Gandalf well, and it's really interesting to compare his behavior there with Thorin and Thranduil's stubborn possessiveness. And given what Elrond lived through because of the Silmaril, that choice makes a lot of sense. Honestly 10/10 Elrond characterization we love to see it.
