Maeglin: I know what cleavage is!

Tuor: say it then. Define cleavage.

Maeglin: its the tendency of a mineral to break along flat planar surfaces determined by the structure of its crystal lattice -

My own personal headcanon is Sauron's earliest versions of his rings and the magic connecting it to him.

No Elf of any kind ever sided with Morgoth of free will, though under torture or the stress of great fear, or deluded by lies, they might obey his commands.

This has interesting implications towards Maeglin, I think.

Okay I'm currently talking with somebody about the fact that young elves in the first age get so damn shafted and I'm just...

KINDA LIVID?? LIKE SIR JRRT WHY???

Like for example y'all who read Children of Hurin no doubt recall Finduilas. Do you realize how young she was? 200. That's basically like .. elven version of your 20s if that. No wonder she took one look at Turin after Gwindor dumped her and went "i can fix him" GIRL.

Then there's maeglin, who early on we pity and then later on we just are cheering when Tuor yeets him off the wall. But fun fact, do you know how old he was? 190. ONE. HUNDRED. AND. NINETY. Half of his life was spent with his dick ass dad who TRIED TO KILL HIM AND INSTEAD KILLED HIS MOM AND THEN CURSED HIM BEFORE HE DIED. 190. Captured by morgoth and tortured. 190.

fucking babies. Both of them.

AND DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON DIOR ELUCHIL. i don't know how peredhel age but he was 36. CELEGORM HAD BEEF WITH A 36 YEAR OLD PEREDHEL. SIR THAT'S A CHILD. AND THEN THERE'S HIS KIDS.

Elwing aaand Earendil. Babies. Both of them. Too fucking young for the bullshit like remember elwing was 3/4 elf that means she was young af. She was born in 503 and the Havens were attacked in 538. She was 35 and mostly an elf. BABY

Fucking

BABY.

training with Eöl

[asinoeiv]

1st is a warm up for today. Eöl and teeny tiny Maeglin before he grew a head taller than eöl.

2nd one is a reference i made like months ago. i actually made headshots like these for every Finwean and their spouse as a help for coloring and basic face structure

3rd because he's so cute

When does the reason become the blame?

When does a man become a monster?

Maeglin Betrayal

[prying-pandora666]

I will never be over that Tolkien wrote Maeglin the way he did. A victim of abuse, isolated from others since childhood, watched his father try to kill him in front of everyone, watched his mother take the blow and die in his stead, and then stuck living with a stranger who happens to be his uncle, in a city his father always told him was emblematic of the Noldor’s hubris that had led to their suffering.

Imprisoned in Gondolin like he was in the forests of Eöl. Alienated and isolated now by the nature of who he is and how different he is on sight. Pining unrequitedly for his cousin, a taboo he knows he shouldn’t cross and yet desperate for someone to call his own.

And even after ALL THAT, the moment Maeglin tried to force himself on Idril, Tolkein wrote him getting thrown out a window.

And that is just… legendary.

Tolkien really said “I don’t care what your sob story is. Incels get yeeted!”

Lessons to live by.

Learning time with Celebrimbor and Maeglin!

What Do you mean Celegorm did not hunt Eol? Of course he did.

I read somewhere about Celegorm going after Eol and getting Maeglin, and I liked the idea a lot. I'm 100% sure that Curufin would give them weird daily lessons.
