Lord of the Rings AND Silmarillion for the fandom ask game!
All right, let's do this! :D
Lord of the Rings
Blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): Aragorn! I think about him on a daily basis; let's be real. I love a hot, moral character.
Scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): Frodo, as he is undoubtedly friend shaped, and he also falls into the blorbo category.
Scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): Merry! He gets a good amount of appreciation, but he could always get more appreciation. He's clever, funny, and brave; what's not to love?
Glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): The dude standing behind Elrond, with the supremely tall helmet! He just makes me laugh.
Tumblr media
Poor little meow meow (“problematic”/ unpopular/ controversial/ otherwise pathetic fave): Sauron! I know he's a glowing eye at this point, guys. I know. Do I still love him? Yes.
Horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): Saruman. I would give him loads and loads of paperwork to do that he can't delegate to other people, because I feel like he'd hate that.
Eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): Grima Wormtongue for sure.
The Silmarillion
Blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): Glorfindel and Lúthien are tied here. (Speaking of, I'd read a fic about them somehow meeting and becoming friends.)
Scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): Celebrimbor! Tyelpë is literally the baby of his disaster family. <3
Scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): Finarfin!
Glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): Olórin. Obviously, Gandalf is not an obscure fave, but he's not the hero of the Silm or anything, so when he shows up in any Silmarillion-related context, I get pumped up.
Poor little meow meow (“problematic”/ unpopular/ controversial/ otherwise pathetic fave): Celegorm. I think he's fascinating, in his terrible way. Also, Thingol is kind of controversial, but I also find him interesting.
Horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): Everyone in the Silm already endures so much torment; I'm not gonna add to it.
Eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): Eöl is on his way there!

being a silmarillion fan is looking at a piece of fanart featuring forty different elves who all have the same shade of either black or gold hair and instantly being able to tell by their vibe who is who and which finwhatever is which

Thinking about the timeline where Maedhros is older than Finarfin always fries my brain, but it would be so cute.

Notes on the Care and Keeping of the Peredhel, by Maglor Feanorian:
Need to eat three times a day, more if they can be persuaded (they do not seem to have the refined palettes elves do, and do not like my attempts at Valinorean fine dining)
They are very fond of maple syrup
One of the human healers told me they were "growing boys," unsure of the significance of this– a reference to their shapeshifting abilities, perhaps?
It does not appear that they will reach a full elvish height, though that may change
They can hear high tones that elves can, but humans can't
This bodes very well for their education in music theory
They do not appear to have the venom that some humans do, as evidenced by the fact that both Mae and I have been bitten several times with no ill effect
Still, I am thankful that Finrod warned me of this human feature, as it has served me well in many battles
They have not bitten anyone in months, which I appreciate, especially given how sharp their teeth are
Boys said that they could talk to shadows– unsure whether or not they were just attempting to scare me (ask later? Bribe with maple syrup??)
They like having their hair brushed, but do not like any of the scented hair oils we have at the fortress
They refuse to eat bird meat; unsure of why but I won't push
Elros prefers wooden toys, Elrond fabric ones, and neither of them is fond of metal
They grow faster than elves, but are still too young to begin intensive battle training, Maedhros
They are very sensitive to the cold, ensure that they have ample blankets and cloaks, especially in winter
Feel much better after spending time with them– those who spent time around Luthien reported similar effects
They appear to appreciate being pat on the head
Based on information by uncle Arfin (regarding Eonwe), this is common amongst Maiar
I've only had them two years, an incredibly small time in the face of the centuries I've lived, but if anything happened to them I would kill everyone in this fortress and then myself

"Will you then pass over Sea?" Celebrimbor asked.
"Nay," Galadriel said. "Angrod is gone, and Aegnor is gone, and Felagund is no more. Of Finarfin’s children I am the last. But my heart is still proud. What wrong did the golden house of Finarfin do that I should ask the pardon of the Valar, or be content with an isle in the sea whose native land was Aman the Blessed? Here I am mightier.”

Finarfin Fades.
No one expects it, no one’s faded in Valinor since Miriel. The War of Wrath is won and he comes back, waving off the courtiers, well wishers, and congratulators with his usual grace, and walks into the palace of Tirion. To rooms abandoned since their owners left so long ago. Winding deeper and deeper his feet take him to what was once Finwë’s favourite garden.
He’s so tired.
He’s fulfilled his promise to Fëanaro and Nolofinwë, to avenge them. To make the agony of their final moments - agony Finarfin felt, falling to the floor screaming as fire and darkness consumed his spirit - count for something. Now Morgoth is finally gone, but he’s not the only one.
His brothers, larger than life, larger than death, are gone. With them his sons. Niece. Nephews. Grandchildren. His daughter is never to return. He Saw little Nelyo’s death in his dreams and is sure hopes for the child’s own sake that Makalaurë will be close behind.
Little remains. Even less on these golden shores.
So Finarfin sits on a bench long overgrown with vines and weeds, and watches the sun filter through the thicket, wishing the ghosts he sees in his father’s garden would flesh out.
He sits. He waits.
And by the time anyone finds him, it’s too late.
…at least he’s smiling again.

Very excited to reveal another of my TRSB 2024 Artworks for @tolkienrsb.
Here is Finarfin sometime after the War of Wrath on the shores of Alqualonde in solitude. The artwork was made in colaboration with the awesome @oakenting, who wrote a story, that I cannot wait to read. Seriously, go check it out, when it reveals!

TRSB 2024 art 1: Reluctant Audience
@tolkienrsb I think that 4th Age may not be a cakewalk for anyone (especially not Elrond) after all, but they will just have to deal with it. Specifically, this time there is a meeting with the High King.
Tumblr media
The fic by the great author @maglor-my-beloved -> X
Characters (left to right): Finarfin (with the crown), Erestor (short in black), Elrond (feeling under-dressed), Glorfindel (looking good in blue).
Also please notice both the dragonfly motif I have included in the Imladris folks' clothes (this may or may not be an elven political statement), and the wing comparison (Elrond's metaphorical, but somehow very real ones and the set embroidered on Finarfin's robe). Have I included more easter eggs that may or may not deal with elven politics in this piece? Perhaps, but you'll have to look for those all by yourselves.

Here is an older version of the Camp of Valar ♥ I made it in my sketchbook and then I redrew it, since I thought the composition was too boring...but my sis told me that she liked this one better...so I finished it ♥

Things the Finwëans have definitely said about other Finwëans, PT 1:
Angrod: Caranthir? More like "Crack-anthir".
Fingolfin: Curufinwë isn't even salty at this point. He's just upgraded to "ocean cocaine" now, which probably isn't something I should be joking about because he'd invent it.
Finarfin, seeing Finrod as a newborn fresh from the womb: My Eru, he clearly doesn't have my genes!
Finrod: You see, Tyelkormo is a nice person at heart. You just have to... force yourself to see the good in him. Like, just peel the layers of his heart until you're left with nothing.
Celegorm: Arkáno? Who's he, some spawn of Uncle Nolofinwë?
Aredhel: Oh, Artanis? Well, yeah, when you see her, she's all about fire and swords and stuff, but really, she's about fire and sparkly dresses.
Turgon: Circles? I love circles, especially circle theorems! ...Oh, we're talking about family trees?
Fëanáro: Irissë is the daughter I never had. And no, I did not kidnap her when she was a child, despite everything her father may say.
Caranthir: Last night, I dreamt that Artarestro had me arrested for tax-evasion, which is funny because I never pay taxes.
Galadriel: When I found out that Kanafinwe actually survived, I was surprised. Mainly because I expected him to die.
Elrond: When I came to Valinor, I was shocked when I saw my family. But that's because I expected them to be in the Void.
Maedhros: One thing I hate about being the eldest is that everyone assumes I order the babies around. I do not. The babies order me around.

Someone mishearing the name of Galadriel’s husband and being convinced she is married to Celegorm.
Options for this include:
Fingolfin - as a letter from Doriath is smudged in just the right place. This misunderstanding helps to contribute significantly to his decision to get crushed by Morgoth’s boot.
Caranthir - he ignores most of the going’s on from his siblings and would really like to know less about the supposed marriage of his hated cousin and least favourite brother. May they make each other miserable together. Doesn’t find out the truth until Doriath.
Angrod - he is torn between brotherly loyalty and loyalty to one who is his friend. He isn’t sure which one to feel sorry for and is Very Relieved when Finrod clears up the misunderstanding.
Finarfin - garbled rumours from across the seas. Is absolutely horrified and thinks it is yet another rebellion by his daughter. Doesn’t find out until he sees Galadriel again in Beleriand, where his first words upon greeting Celeborn are ‘thank the Valar you aren’t my nephew’
Sauron - attempts to torment Galadriel about the loss and downfall of her husband. Is very confused when she tells him that he is alive and well and that Sauron has had dinner with him! He does not recall dining with any of Feanor’s sons. He just knows that somewhere Celebrimbor’s ghost is laughing at him.
All of the above.
