When your oldest brother dies on a religious crusade just as you feared he would and your father refuses to deal with his grief just as he refused to deal with it when your mother died (you were a baby btw) and then again when your other brother left home (because your dad was impossible to live with) and in spite of feeling entirely abandoned by your dad you use your newfound higher status to put yourself out on a limb in order to downgrade his punishment and that of your close friend despite grieving their involvement with the queen who led your brother to his death but instead of your father acknowledging your pain and your attempts to do what you believe will bring justice he lashes out at you by comparing your current position to the horrific way your mother died…just Eärien things

@tolkienfamilyweek Day 6: Ancestors and their Legacy
Valandil, third king of Arnor, and his mother hear the terrible news
Valandil was never supposed to be a king, but like his father and grandfather, is thrown into this new fate by tragedy. And as he grieves, he wonders: how he will carry forth the legacy of the great kings from across the sea? How can he honor his father? What does the future hold for his line?

another thing i find strange about the eärien backlash is that she hasn't actually done much except look smug and be a little annoying. valandil's death was horribly upsetting, but it was kemen who killed him. all she's done so far is cause the coronation riot, but in the dinner scene she looked hesitant to even mention the palantir to pharazôn and it seemed more like a last, desperate resort to seek what she's been manipulated to believe is justice against her brother's killer
also, just because i haven't seen anyone else mention it -- we don't know what eärien actually SAW in the palantir last season. elendil seeing something different than what míriel and galadriel did means that there's infinite possibilities other than the fall of númenor, which could add another element to her anti faithful allegiance

RoP s2 ep5, Spoilers
I carry Elendil, Miriel, and the Faithful tenderly in my hands as I watch Nùmenor be swallowed up by the ocean as they deserve after their behavior in the latest episode! Tsk Tsk!!
Also not Elendil having to speed run grief on basically all his children! Isildur is thought to be dead, his daughter is... well. And then my boy Valandil!😭😩
Also Kemen is giving Joffrey, so.... 🖕🖕🖕
Justice for Elendil man!

Questions 24 and 30 for the RoP Ask Game. :-)
ooh thanks for asking <3 let's see
24 - What's your favourite storyline in RoP
Gotta just be Galadriel's storyline. I love her a lot as a character, I love seeing her struggle with her own nature. Her storyline shows that age old choice between what you want and what is right. I also very specifically love her storyline with Elrond. The development of their friendship and it moving through their disagreements is amazing, 10/10, please give me more.
30 - Choose three characters (not necessarily your favourite ones). Say three positive things about each of them.
Okay so I feel like doing this for RoP specific characters:
Arondir: 1) cares about the people he protects, even if they don't always appreciate him 2) 10/10 good dad. 3) he's so gentle. with people, with nature.
Mirdania: 1) goddamn courageous: saw the true form of Sauron, scariest thing in the world, and threw a hammer at it, which is legendary and will forever remain my favourite thing. 2) not afraid to speak up to her betters to protect the other smiths. 3) is literally just a smith but is helping to coordinate the siege of eregion and that's just badass (justice for Mirdania)
Valandil: 1) this man is actually a really damn good friend. 2) he's selfless as heck he does what is right for people (not just Númenor but everyone, regardless where they're from) and he will go down swinging. ahem. 3) loyal. maybe to a fault, but he will not stray. 4) he beat up Kemen how can I not love him

Rings of Power S2 E5 Spoilers!
Isildur would be ashamed of Eärien if he knew...
Eärien claiming she's (in my opinion) betraying her family, helped usurp the rightful queen, stripped her friend and father of their rightfully earned ranks, all for the sake of "grief"? And because she thinks Elendil isn't grieving how she thinks he should, and in the name of Isildur she is acting this way.
Uh... Isildur willingly, WANTED to go to Middle Earth and fight to prove himself. He wouldn't want his queen usurped, and closest friends and father stripped of rank. Isiludr would be ashamed of Eärien's actions thus far.
Anyway...
Justice for Valandil, Elendil, Miriel, and the faithful!!!
Everyone one else can be swallowed up by the sea!😊🌊

JUSTICE FOR VALANDIL

Hello my pal, how are you?
I was wondering, what do you expect for the future of our boi Valandil when Númenor falls? Do you think he'll be pharazonized and die, or he will like, change his mind at the last minute and fly with the Elendils or else?
Have a nice thursday!
Hiiii thank you!! I hope you have a nice Thursday too!! Funny you should ask, I was just thinking about Valandil (I say, as if I am not always).
I think they've set up a really interesting arc for him, potentially. I wasn't expecting him to have the level of narrative importance that he ended up having in the latter half of the first season, and given his closeness with Isildur, but also Elendil and Míriel at this point, there's a lot the writers can do there. 
I can definitely see him siding with the King's Men for a time, and it does seem almost certain he will meet a tragic end of some kind…we know Isildur will name a son after him, so it's likely Valandil won't be around for that :(  To be clear, I am obsessed with that angst potential, it feeds me, I will be super happy if he has a tragic but satisfying arc...I am an Isildur girlie for life, I am here for the tragedy.
I would love it, personally, if Valandil was aligned with the King's Men by the time Isildur returns from Middle-earth. I am really hoping the show gives us a nuanced treatment of the religious divide, and having sympathetic characters like Valandil on the other side is a great way to do that. A lot does hang on exactly what will go down…no idea how truly grim they're gonna go with the cult of Morgoth stuff, it's hard to imagine current Valandil being ok with what happens in book canon, but he's already undergone a lot of trauma and growth over the course of the first season...still, there are some optics to consider there, and I hope the writers handle that stuff with the appropriate sensitivity and complexity.
Anyway, my current favorite possibility is: Valandil is aligned with the King's Men for a time but then switches sides as things in Númenor under Pharazôn become more dire…if King's Man!Valandil is the reason Isildur survives after stealing the fruit of the white tree, and if that's a turning point for Valandil, wouldn't that be sooooo good?? I don't know how likely that actually is (very unlikely), but I am obsessed with it so I'm writing a fic to get the idea out of my brain and cope with the hiatus lol. Even more unlikely, but I'd love to see him make it out with the Elendili and be involved in the foundation of Gondor, even if he dies prior to the Last Alliance.
On the other hand, It's possible he will survive the the Fall of Númenor because he's aligned with Sauron. I could go either way on that…I'm not opposed to a corruption arc for him, but I'm more interested in the way we get there, I want it to feel earned and do his character justice. I have to admit I get annoyed when people are only interested in his storyline with relation to him becoming a Nazgûl…this happens with other characters too, of course, I just find it especially annoying with regard to my fave. I'm invested in Valandil's development, not just interested in speculating on the end of his arc and working backwards. But tbh I think the only writing choice that would be truly disappointing, for me, is making him part of the assault on Valinor...they could make it work, but it would bum me out personally lol.
How about you, do you have any Valandil theories? 👀
