sometimes i imagine young elrond (relatively young, you know for elves) grieving the loss of his brother, trying to respect his decision to die a mortal death, really respecting his decision, but still feeling sour about it from time to time when everything becomes too much, sorta thinking you left me alone, why did you leave me alone and celebrian, galadriel, everybody around him is saying something along the lines everything happens for a reason and sure, elros becoming the first great king of numenor should be enough reason and elrond understands that? but it still makes his heart ache, but he lives on, he keeps an eye on his brother's line, protects the middle earth where it counts, and that's how it goes for a couple hundred years

and then there comes a human woman with a little boy, and sure there were many before. he kept an eye on his brother's descendants before, but this one is so small and his little feet take him all around rivendell where he somehow always manages to find trouble, and his eyes are the shade achingly similar to his brothers, and sometimes he calls him ada because he learned it from his other kids

and one day he's reading little estel a story (maybe a legend of an old king who rose to greatness before he faded away) and he looks at the child snoring away on his chest, a child that wouldnt be here had elros made a different choice

and he thinks. oh. that was the reason.

"I would have you smile again.

Not grieve, for those whose time has come.

You shall live to see these days renewed.

No more despair."

a dad and his weird son doodle

i just wanted to figure out some stuff with making them actually look related and settled on legolas having his dad’s nose, skin tone and eye colour (and judgemental look)

elrond explicitly preferring his sindarin heritage over his noldorin one and continuing in his own sons the "el-" prefix naming tradition that dior began in honor of thingol... sindar stans we stay winning

imagine you're Maedhros, you're at least thousand years old, have survived (and took part in) several kinslayings, survived the Horrors™ and are trying to recruit a reclusive elven people to join your fight only to end up being violently humbled by said elven people's princess who happens the elven equivalent of a 13 year old at the time.

anyway i was thinking about the one time Narien meets Maedhros while he was still alive and how much of a menace she was about it (she absolutely had a crush on him but you'd have to pry that info from her cold dead hands). i did write a short story about their meeting but idk if it will ever see the light of day

“And yet, Eomer, I say to you that she loves you more truly than me, for you she loves and knows; but in me she loves only a shadow and a thought: a hope of glory and great deeds, and lands far from the fields of Rohan. - Aragorn to Eomer, of Eowyn

I adore this quote because it reminds us all not to undervalue the love we have for our family members, and the love they have for us.

The "love" we have for idols and celebrities is shallow and fleeting. We may love what they represent, but we don't actually know them.

Our parents and siblings, spouses/partners and children, are likely the people who know us best and/or longest, and they have dealt with us at our worst. We tend to behave pretty shittily towards the people closest to us because of how secure we are in the relationship. But often, these people love us anyway and I think that's pretty incredible.

"Orcs are pure evil" feels more like a Jackson movie viewpoint than a Tolkien one because those movies had a very simplistic, black and white view of the Orcs. They were just the Dark Lords cruel minions who only lived to fight, eat, and kill. Tolkien's conception of them was more nuanced. They weren't pure evil, more a pitiful people, virtually broben beyond all repair by the cruelty of their maker.

There were Orcs in LOTR who talk about being sick of fighting for Sauron and wanted to just leave. He also wasn't no opposed at all to the idea that there were Orc women:

The writers of Rings of Powers seem to subscribe more to Tolkien's view of the Orcs than Jackson's, showing us the deep rooted tragedy of the Orcs. They're not saying that Orcs are actually good, but only that they are not simply just one thing.
