Here we go again, greetings from Middle-earth: White horses at the ford and Rivendell just before sunrise, Eärendil shining bright, over the Hall of fire *_*

I've saw few posts about mamma mia idea but with Gil-galad and his tons of unexplained fathers

but what about Elrond and HIS parent situation??

Imagine. You're trying to peacefully marry your cousin, but suddenly falling from the sky comes your star father with your bird mother. Also back from the eternal seashore hiking comes your lost, long-forgotten, murderer foster father. Then starts arguing who have best right to claim you as a son.

and boom, finwean family drama

(we can't forget Galadriel in all of this. oh, it'd be delightful)

As an intrinsic part of their Mortal heritage, I like to think that all the Half-Elven in Middle-earth have at one point in their lives (but most especially their youths) had a fairly unflattering haircut that they genuinely believed was the hottest shit ever:

Dior had a long feathered mullet that was a pure flex to show off how naturally full and voluminous his hair was. He only cut it once the twins were born and it became too much work to maintain while looking after two babies.

Elúred and Elúrin got their hands on an unattended bottle of hair dye when they were five and gave themselves skunk hair bangs that took months to wash out.

Elwing once experimented with teasing her curls into a big 80's hairdo because people told her how her father used to have big hair.

Eärendil had to cut his hair after a lice scare onboard one of Círdan's ships and went for a bowl cut that he thought would be quick and easy to do. Unfortunately, the bowl he used was a little too small and the high fringe made it look like he was wearing a small hat made out of hair. Idril had conniptions. Tuor managed to hold in his laughter until he could reach the privacy of an inner room. Elwing demonstrated the incredible power of love by both saying yes to his proposal and offering to neaten his fringe so that it at least looked a little less choppy.

Elrond stubbornly sported a man bun undercut for two whole years after he lost a bet with one of Maedhros' Mortal retainers and Maglor made a sighing comment about how he shouldn't worry because his hair would soon grow back out "nice again."

Elros gave himself curtained hair in solidarity with Elrond so that Maglor would get off his back, and kept it until the first time he commanded a war party and got good-naturedly ribbed to hell about looking like a 14 year old kid.

Like father like son, Elladan wore a rat tail for a few years after one of the Dunédain wagered he couldn't pull it off. He really couldn't, although he thought it looked great and was forever trying to do fancy styles with it until Elrohir staged a sibling intervention.

Elrohir maintained a buzzcut for nearly fifty years after his parents a little too amusedly said that he could do whatever he liked with his appearance now that he was of age.

Arwen went through a phase in her 200s where she dyed her hair with whatever colours she could get her hands on. The silver was very nice (Celeborn was extremely proud) and the blue highlights were interesting but still managed to work. She even made a decent ginger. However, the attempt at Arafinwëan gold just ended up a washed-out bleach blonde that is to date the only thing that has ever stunned Galadriel into utter speechlessness.

+Although not born Mortal, Lúthien spent a full Valinorean year with feathers instead of hair while trying to shape-shift into a nightingale. It actually made for quite an aesthetic when she took the time to preen them properly, but as she was far too busy running around having adventures with Daeron, the effect was more often ruffled bird's nest than sleek wings.

After watching the Lay of Leithian rock opera, I was inspired to make this poll:

Vingilotë is small and swift and vicious.

The swan ships of the Teleri were tall, high, gilded things, glittering with many-colored banners and lights. They shone under their lanterns like stars in the dark sea. They would be garlanded in flowers for dances, and the music had soaked into their boards and echoed out—until, they say, the very end. They had sung a spinning dance tune, high and forlorn, when they burned. It had faltered as the boards cracked and kindled, and crumbled to ash.

And Vingilotë, their kinswoman, is sleek and sharp and quiet as death. She is fair, yes, fair and graceful. She could not be otherwise, crafted as she was, beloved of Círdan the Shipwright and Eärendil the Mariner. She is fair like the neck of a heron or the edge of a knife.

She was built for a desperate, wretched journey against enchantment and the wrathful sea. She was built in fear and mourning and the cold hope of the doomed.

She is fair and bright and very small amidst the sea.

with my whole heart i truly think elwing/eärendil is the most sweepingly romantic ship in the legendarium. like. what if we were the only two people like us ever in the whole world yet by fate and chance and tragedy we found each other. what if we built a home and a life at the ends of the earth and against all odds it was good. what if we knew no help was coming. what if we chose to live anyway. what if i flew through the storm to find you. what if i knew you and held you even in another shape. what if you told me not to follow and i did. what if i let you make the choice for us both. what if you gave up even the touch of the world you loved so we could stay together. what if we saved that world but not for us. what if our love--for each other, for the world--was so strong that it rent the fabric of the universe. what then.

Eärendil pleading Middle Earth’s case to the Valar

Eärendil: Let me explain

Eärendil: No, there is too much, let me sum up

I was planning to finish this in time to honor father's day (here in Brazil) a few weeks ago, but life and a nervous breakdown got in the way, so here it is, my baby with his baby Elrond and baby Arwen! *.*

(Because I like to suffer, I chose to add Eärendil's light shining down on them because I wanted to convey Elrond's sadness for feeling so distant from his own father even though he's always present T.T)

one thing that breaks me, absolutely shatters my heart and mind and soul, is how in the end all three silmarils return from whence they came. how one is in the sky, one in the sea, and one in a flaming abyss that closed on the earth.

it's like those who carried them gave them back to the valar and their dominions over elements.

and how the silmarils itself return to their elements... eärendil forever up in the sky, maglor burned, wandering the shores so only water can ease his scars, maedhros who would rather kill himself than live without the one thing he fought and suffered and was tortured for. it's like manwë blessed eärendil himself more than his ship, it's like ulmo reclaimed maglor and his love for poetry and give him something to sing about once again, and maedhros saw how aulë created and created, and he also created and remade himself, and he would have rather destroy himself than let anybody else do it

#silmarillion #eärendil #maglor #maedhros #hey please do not think about this too much #it's more poetry than it is about the events themselves #alright hope we clear as a silmaril

I think there needs to be fanart of Eärendil and Elwing like those horny old-school pirate romance novel covers. Case in point:

Yeah.

Lúthien comes of age in safety and love. Her father rules in kindness and her mother shields the land from evil.

Dior comes of age in a time of unease. His father is strong and brave, his mother wise and bold, but the Fëanorians are a threat that ever hangs over his head.

Elwing comes of age in Valinor with her husband by her side and a trail of loss and woe behind them. Her sons are taken and her people are dead. The weight of responsibility is nearly enough to crush her.

Eluréd and Elurín do not come of age, they never had the chance.

Elrond and Elros come of age in a war zone. There is death and screaming, blood spills as often as rain. They have no parents, only each other. The world has never been safe for them. They know it never will be.

Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen come of age in safety and love. Their mother is kind and wise, their father shields the land from evil.
