A different fandom, but: bold of you to assume that I have one consistent personal headcanon.

Arguments about what's canon and what's not in SW fandom are kinda pointless, I know for a fact that every fan has their personal frankensteined version of canon based on what's best for their own blorbos. I love picking up a random licensed book to sneer at half of its ideas and then steal the rest. Some shows and books and comics and whole movies are simply not incorporated into my belief system. That's how we roll

#silm fandom #yes *especially* anything athrabeth-adjacent #but also how does the oath of feanor work at all (i like it to be more than just psychology but also it's not forcing them and it's in a wa #and i won't even start about the idiot #or tbh how do his non-idiotic ex-collegues even work #[except: as hard as they can. but ykwim. what are they how do they function their relation to time etc]#also there's a part of (canon?) where my fav approach is “plausible deniability” and that's not really non-canon XD #star wars have the benefit of not being somewhat metatextual #at least not like that #it probably helps :D #reblogs #also prev tags i agree with:#Gil Galad is the son of Fingon but Orodreth Angrod's #and the Athrabeth is canon but not in this form and the tale of Adanel is Gondorian apocrypha #and I have my own particular list of events for the Third Kinslaying that in part makes it a tragedy of poor time management #et cetera et cetera #</prev>#well ok i don't much care abt whose son orodreth is #and i may have a different way of making doriath more sad and less black-white but yes #very yes #maedhros needs a hug (and is a mass murderer but anyway) and maglor too (and he also needs to start making his own decisions)#well ok those guys need a lot of things ig #but i love them anyway #this book / this fandom hijacks my empathy neurons
