19 for the Silm ask!

[those silm asks as are doing the rounds]

19. you get to save one character from dying. what would they do instead?

the way i see it, there are three possible directions i could take this question

THE STRATEGIC OPTION - finwë. if finwë doesn’t die at minute one, that cuts off about 90% of the early noldorin drama and probably prevents the oath from being a thing? he’s probably the only guy in the universe who could get fëanor to shut up at this point, and is also a big non-controversial boss noldo who ain’t gonna start any civil wars. there’d probably still be trouble with the valar, on account of they have super broken the protect-you-from-melkor deal, but i do think finwë would handle that better than his dipshit sons. also both olwë and thingol will probably be willing to negotiate with him. there’d probably still be shenanigans, morgoth’s done a lot to drive a wedge between the noldor, but with finwë at the helm there’ll probably be much less collateral damage. besides, i am of the firm conviction that finwë was an absolute lunatic who if given the slightest chance to go as turbo as his grandkids went in canon would be perfectly capable of soloing morgoth

(how am i saving him, anyway? is there, like, an extradimensional portal i pull him through and we wait until ungoliant is gone? because if i am, i’d probably use the time to brief him on the upcoming situation. i know maybe ten words of quenya, but i feel like we could work around that. maybe with diagrams...)

THE INTERESTING COUNTERFACTUAL OPTION - denethor, the first one. if he survives the initial morgoth fight - not only do we have a nandorin power base in east beleriand, which sounds like it’d do all sorts of fun things to continental politics, but i half-remember reading that it was partially because of denethor’s death that thingol went full isolationist? so if he survives, we potentially have a much more active doriath, with a thingol at least willing to hold his own. that sounds like it’d affect the arc of the first age a lot, maybe not leaving all the enemy-fighting to the noldorin armies? i’m not really a butterfly-effect alternate-mythohistory fëanorian stan, but denethor living and holding the green-elves together sounds like it’d affect the course of events in interesting ways, if not necessarily better ones

THE CHAOS OPTION - fëanor, under the specific stipulation that when he inevitably gets his dumb ass killed i get to save him all over again. fëanor is the kind of character i like to watch just to see what crazy thing they’ll do next and how big the ensuing blast radius is. it would be terrible, for everyone, but from a safe distance seeing what fëanor does to beleriand will be an absolute spectacle. the explosions! the mecha! the inevitable fëanor-vs-every-single-other-person-on-the-continent war! i would watch this religiously and take bets on how fast he’ll burn beleriand down. there is a risk that he’ll figure out how my save-from-death portals work and subsequently invade the real world, but hey, this is the chaos option

3 and 27 for the ask game!

hi! thanks for the ask!!

horrible questions!

3. I answered this one here!

27: Have you ever broken someone’s heart?

i honestly do not know. i hope not, because i’ve had my heart broken and i wouldn’t wish it on anyone else.

thank you for tagging me :)

What I like about myself : I’m good at distinguishing between my feelings and the more objective truth (especially in arguments

One thing I’m prod of doing today: I got up of bed like 40 minutes earlier than usual, so I didn’t have to stress nearly as much as I usually do

no pressure tags: @zalie @oncefutureemrys @tiefling @iswearimhavingfunx @isolationstreet​ and everyone who wants to :))

I know lockdown, Corona, & life in general can be hard so I thought it would be cute to start a positivity chain! Tag your friends/mutuals to share the love & let them know you appreciate them!!

Then reflect on yourself by writing down one thing you like about yourself (it could be anything - personality, a talent, or your image) & one thing you are proud of yourself for doing that day (it doesn’t have to be a big thing!). I’ll go first :)

What I like about myself: My smile (even though it’s a bit wonky hehe).

One thing I’m proud of doing for the day: writing half of an essay that’s not due for another week (I’m bad for writing the night before it’s due lol)

No pressure tags: @thewhiteladyofrohan @zalie @beenovel @tschrist1 @elvish-sky @geek-girl7 @ anyone else who wants to do this
