@nelyoslegalteam ooh this is really cool (reminds me of your post about bluejay feathers!)

Great idea, it explains the line of luthien's weird shiny color changing hair really well - the red face spots can be their fea expression while the purpley-blue hair comes from their hair structure! And then that also works for Arwen & the El twins' Sun/Moonlight-reflecting hair!

realized the @blumineck pose was perfect for celegorm so here he is!

#silm #silmarillion #elf hair #hmm #i think i should tag this as #long post #iridescent elf hair!!!#oh and that actually works really well w my idea #that for fancy events maglor wears luminescent jewel dust (from discarded proto-silmarils/proto-lamps lol) in his hair to make the blue #even brighter #so if it's a light refraction thing giving it the iridescence and the fea giving it the color that makes a ton of sense #that he can make it shinier by adding glowy gems #imagine melian having feathery refractive hair because she wasnt entirely sure what elves looked like when she made her fana #(is it a hroa at this point? not sure)#so all her descendants are slightly Weird #unnaturally tall (between thingol; melian; and turgon; elrond has to be the tallest person in the entire third age)#(elendil was like 8 feet tall! and given how the numenorean traits degraded over time that means e&e have to be even taller)#and also hair thats not just visibly shinier but feels more like feathers than hair
