Yes, your worldbuilding is thorough, your geography meticulous, your plotting elaborate, and your characterisation nuanced, but answer me this: is there a fucked up little guy?

#omg i forgot abt my little fucked up guy

Morgoth. Right before Ungoliant attacks him. A single, doomed “fuck”, then the scene cuts and we see a far landscape followed by a painful AAAAAAAAAAAA.

I’ve seen this for LotR, but if there could be a single, solitary “fuck” specficially in The Silmarillion, who gets it and when do they say it?

I had completely forgotten about this. Malacandra is so unique compared to Middle-Earth. Middle-Earth is like “uwu, Europe” whilst Malacandra is “your best friend is a gigantic ant who makes fun of you (a character inspired by the person of Tolkien himself) because you are pink”.

I'm well aware that I'm venturing out of my depth here.

But from now on, if you haven't read C.S. Lewis' "Ransom Trilogy," I don't want you to say to me "Tolkien was way better at world-building than Lewis."

Read the Ransom Trilogy, then have that conversation with me.

Regular xyz fans: I use xyz to escape reality.

Silmarillion fans: I use reality to escape the Silmarillion.

Whenever Maglor sings for Elrond and Elros, he quite literally has a captive audience. 🙃

I think Dior deserves a beard and almost completely round ears. Just some real human vibes coming off this guy if you ask me. Iconic how he told the Feanorians to fuck off (king shit) and forgot that the girdle was gone (less king shit).

Side bar, I think it would be very much the vibe if he wore golden ear caps sometimes for appearing more elven purposes. also I am so unwell about the Nauglamir getting the silmarillion glued into it.

Angry Sindar holding ages old grudges is so beautiful to me.

Maedhros fifty years later to Fingolfin: please, take the crown— TAKE THE CROWN!

“A king is he that can hold his own, or else his title is vain”, yes, Maedhros?

I mean, Thranduil is from Doriath and the iathrim called themselves the Forgotten. And his father wanted to live like the Quendi lived before the Valar interference.

Thranduil’s prejudice against dwarves: boring, overused, stale

Thranduil’s prejudice towards the Noldor: delicious, much more narratively interesting, has actual textual evidence to support it

#oh Eru I have so many opinions about this #tolkien's legendarium

Besides, do you really think Cersei would love her? No, she would resent Joanna with a huge Elektra Complex because Joanna would prevent Cersei to be with Jaime. Cersei only loves the memory of her mother because grief turns people into saints.

‘if joanna had lived the lannisters would have been normal/nicer’ WRONG i think she would have married cersei off as geographically far away as possible and then started doing some the lion in winter shit with jaime. she refuses to acknowledge tyrion because in surviving his birth she’s gone from a victim of tywin’s imp to his mother an accomplice there must have been something wrong with her to birth him like that. do not fall into the all dead mothers were really soft and niceys fallacy

Galadriel in Doriath: It's always “I can fix him” this, “I can fix him” that, but what about—

*Celeborn waves at her from the forest*

Galadriel: He can fix me.

Willas Tyrell to me is based on Lorenzo de Medici. Both were said to be fond of hawking and animal breeding, both were called “homely” — Lorenzo because he wasn't handsome and Willas because apparently he is very pious. Actually, he [Willas] and Garlan are both Lorenzo and Giuliano. Giuliano was said to be Lorenzo's co-ruler, and I think Garlan works the same way with Willas, being his brother's strong hand. That being said, Loras is only Giuliano.

Margaery is Bianca, both are married to an enemy — Margaery to Tommen, who is a Lannister, and Bianca to a Pazzi. Cersei plans to kill Margaery and the Pazzi Conspiracy are the same. I do think this will happen in the books as it happened in the show. Loras and Margaery will die in the Septo the same way Giuliano died in the Cathedral. This will end the connection between Lannister and Tyrell, making Willas free to join Queen Daenerys and take revenge on the Lannister (if Euron don't kill him first).

Besides, House Tyrell amongst the Great Houses (except House Baratheon) is the only that were never kings, the same way the Medici were bourgeois and not nobles. So it all makes sense to me.
