I’m not personally a headcanonner of Maglor living in Rivendell in LotR under a new name, but if he is, I adamantly believe that he is not Lindir (“song guy��) but rather Erestor (tentatively glossed “lonely brother.”) Tragic humor or bust!

Whispers in the breeze, elvish hearts with nature speak, harmony glows in graceful trees.

‘riyria, it’s elvish for two’

[tathrin]

I was thinking about the weirdness of LaCE and the whole sex=soul-marriage thing again (as you do) and a thought struck me:

what if the way it works in cases of assault (or is believed to work by the elves; in this case it doesn't matter if it's actually what happens of just what they think) is that you don't end up with a full-on bond, no, but you do get bits of connection, like hooks stuck in your soul from the other person(s)?

And—if we run with the worst interpretation of the Celebrían situation—what if that's what motivates Elladan and Elrohir to be so determined to hunt down every single orc in Middle-earth?

If Celebrían left because she couldn't bear the feeling or thought or those orc-hooks in her soul (or the ptsd flashbacks and trauma that made it easy to assume the stories were true, and that's what was happening to cause her misery) and hoped that crossing the Sundering Sea would cut them off, or at least blunt them and let the scars heal...

Well, the twins know that you can't really sail back, of course they do. They know!

But Glorfindel did. And a whole host of elves came once, during the War of Wrath. So it's not that nobody has, ever. (They can look up and see their grandfather sailing in the sky every night, out of the Undying Lands. Maybe somebody could hitch a ride...?)

If they can make Middle-earth safe for her again...well, maybe she won't come home. But at least then she could, if a chance ever came to leave and cross the Sea again. She could.

And even if she doesn't, at least when they Sail*, they can tell her that they slew her nightmares, finally.

And maybe that will be enough.

Ramón Salazar is so funny because no matter what version you're looking at if you say 'he's twenty' everyone goes 'he's WHAT'

"Just A Man" from Epic the Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans

This song made me think of when Maglor and Maedhros found Elrond and Elros after the 3rd kinslaying in the first age. Of course I had to then translate it. I split the lyrics up a bit, so they both had lines. (Also left out the chorus in the transcriptions)

[MAGLOR:]

Céninye mi henilta ar inye

Nansanea ana i yónion

Nárille airave nélesse yá elestienye rá ohta

[MAEDHROS:]

Nwaluva si cari ainya

Ilya námo anahtienye?

Ná i mirma nwalinye oio malie?

[MAGLOR:]

Sáce henilta ar rehtea elto i ehten

Manen polin nahteanye le?

[MAEDHROS:]

Nánye rie elda man néve lenna mélamar

Apa illí loastar au hóta istienye

Nánye rie elda man mahtea rá coirya

[MAGLOR:]

Lún undu mérenye manca i ilu cen inya yón ar indis

Nánye rie elda

[MAEDHROS:]

Apa yá cáre él olea lantel?

Yá lícuma olea ruine?

Yá elda olea úvano?

[MAGLOR:]

Yá ulo olea vangwe?

Yá casta olea cáma?

Yá elda olea úvano?

[MAEDHROS & MAGLOR:]

(Yá cáre él olea lantel?)

(Yá lícuma olea ruine?) Avatyar nin

(Yá elda olea úvano?) Avatyar nin

(Yá elda olea úvano?) Avatyar nin

headcannon that gale can't fuckin roll his r's. I have no basis for this claim, it just feels Correct. Like imagine tav speaks literally anything but common and they have either rolled r's or like a soft r or throaty(?) r and they try to teach him. He's great at picking up vocab and grammar and such, but his pronunciation is actually terrible. I just think it's cute I love him sm
