I noticed that so many people reblogged this with the "THE WHAT OPERA" tag, so may I also humbly suggest/show you
a) Sauron from the Lay of Leithian rock opera, and
b) Mikhail Sidorenko as Namo Mandos(from the same rock opera)
may I introduce the Sauronfuckers of tumblr to Mikhail Sidorenko’s Sauron in the Finrod rock opera

If Silm characters had Tumblr blogs (Years of the Trees):
Galadriel:
url: flowers-glade
pfp: probably a cat picture
blog title: have a voice and won't hesitate to use it
bio: 240s * mixed heritage (all three<3) * disrespect any and I am not liable for the consequences * anti-fëanorian * involved in politics to a reasonable extent
blog is a mix of aesthetic/poetry/literary analysis, strongly-voiced political views (no, she's not 'reasonably' involved), and personal posts that sound a lot like bragging tbh
Maedhros:
url: 12russandol
pfp: a picrew
blog title: Even scholars have their doubts, even painters have their missteps
bio: eldest brother of seven • yes, my father's Fëanor • probably won't reply to any asks about family matters • busy existing
posts like once a month on a very varied array of subjects. always polite
Caranthir:
url: you-are-the-blood-in-my-veins
pfp: something with a dark background
blog title: I just f**ing hate this world
bio: You're not going to like me, but maybe you'll stay to watch the trainwreck
very emo about it, song lyrics and edits, cultivates a deliberately edgy persona (is not really like this irl). steers clear of politics
Finrod:
url: manifestations-sevenfold-daffodil (bastardisation of some hyper-complex philosophical term + something random added on for good measure; if you ask him about the meaning he won't shut up)
pfp: cartoonish snake on a green background with yellow flowers (suspicious similarity to the arafinwean badge)
blog title: Edginess kills
bio: We could also just get on well with eachother :)
posts once a few days, reblogs anything that catches his eye. has contributed to various heritage posts though he isn't tumblr famous, has the epitome of a tumblr sense of humour. rarely makes original posts that aren't about complex philosophical questions.
Bonus - Fëanor:
has no consistent url because he gets banned every two months and has to make a new blog. is a troll. gets into a vicious fight with galadriel every week, neither knowing it's the other. very occasionally posts something more wholesome about his family or craft, but it's rare in comparison.
#Fingon and Argon have very classic Tumblr blogs; sometimes wacky#most of the time good-natured and participating in discourse™ at whiles#Maglor has an 'official' blog under his own name where he sometimes posts snippets of songs but is rarely active on#Amrod and Amras also have contributed to some heritage posts; in addition they run a joint gimmick blog of some sort#...if you've had the misfortune to run into some variation of oxford-comma Fëanor is like *that*#(by which I mean not the grammatical feature but that reddit atheist that's found his way on tumblr. IYKYK)#huh#this was hard to write at times#especially the urls and titles because these are often pretty obscure references... please take them as more of a general vibe than my last#word on the matter#//#my post#tolkien#Silmarillion#silm#Galadriel#Finrod#Caranthir#Maedhros#Fëanor#to be cont?#character lists#modern au#dashboard simulator

"Other names in song and tale are given to these people"
From Morgoth's Ring, a list of names used to refer to the different group of Elves ; I wanted to put only the weapon-related ones originally, but the whole list is too nice :
The Vanyar are the Blessed Elves, and the Spear-Elves, the Elves of the Air, the friends of the Gods, the Holy Elves and the Immortal, and the Children of Ingwë ; they are the Fair Folk and the White.
The Noldor are the Wise, and the Golden, the Valiant, the Sword-elves, the Elves of the Earth, the Foes of Melkor, the Skilled of Hand, the Jewel-wrights, the Companions of Men, the Followers of Finwë.
The Teleri are the Foam-riders, the Singers of the Shore, the Free, and the Swift, and the Arrow-elves ; they are the Elves of the Sea, the Ship-wrights, the Swanheards, the Gatherers of Pearl, the Blue Elves, the people of Olwë.
The Nandor are the Host of Dan, the Wood-elves, the Wanderers, the Axe-elves, the Green Elves and the Brown, the Hidden People.
Those that came late to Ossiriand are the Elves of the Seven Rivers, the Singers Unseen, the Kingless, the Weaponless, and the Lost Folk, for they are now no more.
The Sindar are the Lemberi, the Lingerers ; they are the Friends of Ossë, the Elves of the Twilight, the Silvern, the Enchanters, the Wards of Melian, the Kindred of Lúthien, the people of Elwë.
Quoth Pengoloð
#silmarillion#tolkien legendarium#pengolodh#Elven names in poetry and song#The Vanyar are the spear elves so Vanyar host has lots of spears ?#If Glorfindel half Vanyar he could also have one#The Noldor have a series of very cool names - Elves of the Earth and Foes of Melkor#But the Noldor are also THE WISE !!!!#If that's not the best ironic nickname since King Demetrius Poliorcetes (“City Taker”)#Who's been known as “Poliorcetes” for over 20 centuries after he failed to take Rhodes and his enemies coined the nickname#Unless given that the Noldor are also “The Golden” and “The Companions of Men”#When they says “The Noldor” they actually mean “Finrod”#The Vanyar are not “The Golden” but “the White”#So ref to jewellery more than hair colour#Also the Sindar have no weapon mentioned at all#They are “the wards of Melian” instead#Weapons#no shitpost surprisingly

I had all and then most of you Some and now none of you Take me back to the night we met I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Oh, take me back to the night we met
The Night We Met, Lord Huron
#the silmarillion#curufinrod#curufin#finrod felagund#female curufin#this is one of many songs that are perfect for these two#I might post a playlist at some point#but this#this is prob during nargothrond when they have so much more that they’re not saying#and they’re making the other suffer for those choices#but they’ll keep shoving those conversations/problems back in the closet and ignoring them#they don’t linger on the past if they can help it#gildor’s born shortly afterward and they get to play happy family a little longer 🥺#but it doesn’t last#it never lasts#my art#tolkien art

idk i guess im not surprised the show being what it is but the final show-down between sauron and galadriel being a sword fight feels like such a misundertsanding of their characters....
#like im sure sauron could fight with a sowrd if he wanted to but they are both deeply magical beings#i feel like they would not resort to swords#we also didnt get the celebrimbor banner#no him getting speared in the stomach does not count#anti rop#rop critical#the nolo track tag#lau posts#where is the epic song battle a la finrod and sauron?? where is the magic? she is a student of melian after all#its not like i expect them to start throwing fireballs but they could have done Something#rop spoilers#i guess

Hi! New on Tumblr, finally daring to jump into the abyss and join the insanity! I’m a scientist IRL but mostly an artist and nerd, here to share and enjoy art and nerdy topics! Here’s a selection of some of my favorite pieces, and to see more check out my Cara profile: https://cara.app/nerdylizard
I love Tolkien, Brandon Sanderson, Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Doctor Who, and more! My OCs are mostly from Lord of the Rings Online, with some D&D, and I absolutely love doing commission art!

Maedhros (whispering): Fingon,please. We have to be discreet, no one knows we're courting
Caranthir (walking by): Yes we do
#Literally everyone knows#They are not at all discreet#Maglor and Finrod have both written numerous songs about them#Feanor and Fingolfin are the only ones who don’t know#There’s a betting pool for when they’ll figure out everyone knows#Aredhel runs it#silmarillion#incorrect quotes#russingon#maedhros x fingon#maedhros#fingon#caranthir

For the song lyrics game, who would sing:
I remember a meadow one morning in May With a sky full of dreams that sailed in that day I was dancing through green waves of grass like the sea And for a moment in time, I could feel I was free
There are waves of forgiveness and waves of regret And the first waves of true love I'll never forget In the meadow that morning as I wandered alone There were green waves of yearning for life still unknown
(Chorus) Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart Where the waves reach as far as you can see Take me home to the meadow, we've been too long apart I can still hear you calling for me
What I'd give to remember that heavenly state Just a moment in time, all mine to create As I'm taking my last breath, I know what I will see There'll be green waves forever out there waiting for me
(Chorus)
The song is Greenwaves by Secret Garden
I'm curious if we'll think of the same character!
Oof another sad and angsty one! :') But this one is also hopeful and peaceful, and I hope other Silm/Finrod fans can see my vision for linking Finrod to this song. I think his reunion with Amarië in Valinor would have been desperately sweet, and is captured in these lyrics. <3
Thank you for the Ask, my friend! And for introducing me to this beautiful song!
This "Who Would Say That Lyric" Game was part of SotWK's Summer Campfire Sleepover 2024.

Because everything I learn get’s funneled into the hyperfixation:
Maglor, Fingon and Finrod singing a three voice motet
#what’s a motet you might ask#if i learned my lessons correctly:#take a gregorian chant and slap two songs on top#you now have a motet#search marchetto da padova on youtube to get the vibe I mean#fingon is the tenor#maglor is singer and composer#silmarillion#maglor#feanorians#the silmarillion#silm#lotr#fingon#finrod

'Yes, Wise-woman, maybe it was ordained that we Quendi, and ye Atani, ere the world grows old, should meet and bring news one to another, and so we should learn of the Hope from you: ordained, indeed, that thou and I, Andreth, should sit here and speak together, across the gulf that divides our kindreds, so that while the Shadow still broods in the North we should not be wholly afraid.'
— Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth
Without trepidation, I look into the eyes of fate, and I wouldn't change a single step of it. But only now, thanks to you, I've realized that love knows no rules. You bring me the news of salvation, and closure to the old vows...
— Finrod Rock Opera
#i'm not okay#@etherius bring the camp on the road scene back it's important#after that beren and finrod leitmotifs become nearly identical and they sing their duo#(two brothers caught in chains and in the Song)#also you can really see it was written soon after the first translation of athrabeth became available and everyone was obsessed with it#tolkien#the silmarillion#finrod rock opera#athrabeth finrod ah andreth#finrod

Can Rob Aramyo sing? Because listen, Elrond singing. I would actually perish (Sauron would be so terrified).
#tv: rings of power#we know ben walker can and so can sophie novate and daniel weyman#(also charlie vickers can I think which is why I need the finrod-sauron song duel)

Assigning the Feanorions songs i'm currently listening to just for shits and giggles.
Maedhros: De Selby parts 1 & 2 by hozier. I feel like this doesn't need explanation but its the longing for nothingness that really vibes with late stage Mae imo.
Maglor: von dutch by charli xcx. Maglor looms above you covered head to toe in viscera he places his sword above your heart, the last words you hear "it's brat summer, baby".
Celegorm: worship by years and years. Not a new song just one i relistened to recently. Fellas? Is it gay to demand devotion from a literal god and beg for every scrap of knowledge you can glean from his nonexistent favours?
Caranthir: black mambo by glass animals. Vaguely sinister even when at maximum chill. Do not play any games he invites you to join.
Curufin: wonderland by caravan palace. He is never not bitter that he wasn't the firstborn and everyone will suffer for that.
Amrod: firewalker with me by first strike. Yes its a song about a fictional baseball (blaseball) player who incinerates people, i dont care, it's a vibe. No one deserves to be called a curse.
Amras: everybody gets high by missio. Not necessarily for the lyrics but more for the energy of bad coping mechanisms and badly hidden rage.
In summary: none of these boys are hinged but they're all un in different and interesting ways. And again these aren't like my assigned themes just songs i listened to lately that reminded me of them.
#celegorm and curufin alternative is chachacha by käärijä because of the gif of the wrestling guys in the green micro shirts#maglor would have gotten spring breakers but thats reserved for finrod tearing a werewolf limb from limb#mae also gets nightmares by call me sleeper but 2 song was enough dont be greedy#this selection is very funny considering how much i usually assign them afrobeat music#i have soso by omah lay but thats like collectively valinor noldor not the Feanorions in particular.#i should make one of these with all my afrobeat and adjacent selections

In the midst of the fighting, they were swept apart and Daeron was taken by force. He was brought to Tol-in-Gaurhoth, for Sauron’s machinations ran deep. But in despair, Beren hounded their steps, even to the gates of the fortress.
The Book of Unfinished Tales Tolkien Never Actually Wrote
#the silmarillion#silm crack#daeron#beren#beren x daeron#aus i’ll never write#this is seconds before he’s gagged so he can’t sing himself free#I had a vague idea for this au#something something morgoth was collecting/killing the most powerful elven singers#since they’re threats to him and he could possibly twist them into weapons against the elves#so finrod’s already in prison somehow and allies with daeron#beren gets luthien’s help since Maglor’s on the hitlist#(yes there has to be magluth)#aaaand somehow they all end up defeating morgoth with song#idk#fun stuff#my art#songbird au#tolkien art

Someone should write the duel of Finrod and Sauron ERB-style, including Sauron trying to magically tear off their disguises via rap (and it has “Who won? Who’s next?” but then Lúthien just comes in and says “me” and Huan rips Sauron to pieces)
