euughh just saw someone say that Celegorm kidnapping Lúthien to force her into marriage was "out of character" and just. I understand the urge to smooth the edges off your blorbo's flaws or whatever but if you've gotten to the point where you genuinely believe the author's portrayal of his own character isn't in line with canon then I think you just misunderstood what you read

#do you know what “out of character” means?#they're warmongers. they deliberately sent finrod to his death to usurp his kingdom. why do you think they're above kidnapping #unless you think murder is somehow a lesser crime than kidnapping or SA for whatever reason. because that's just bs #this is why I don't engage with the silm fandom as much. I feel like people just flat out get their fanons mixed up with canon #it seems like most people are either very “pro-Fëanorian” or “pro-Doriath” with little to no inbetween #when there are very few “true” heroes in the silmarillion. and the Fëanorians are not among them. nor is Thingol for that matter #it's almost as if that's the entire point!! :0 (sarcasm)#not tagging this with fandom stuff because I don't want to upset people but if it breaches containment that's out of my control #I have nothing against fanon because I'm deep in the fanon sauce myself #but when people say stuff like this I can't help but believe we just didn't read the same book #my post #personal
