La tua anima è sempre stata al di là della materia e del mondo. Non sei venuto a noi solo per dilettarci, ma per mostrare che c'è una verità oltre le apparenze, una connessione di ciascuna cosa con le altre. Come la connessione che tu avevi con i testi antichi.

In fine un pregio singolare e nuovo riceve questo volume [Appendice all'Epistolario e agli scritti giovanili di G. Leopardi] dal ritratto di Giacomo Leopardi nella florida età di 28 anni. È la prima volta che di lui vivo ne sono adornate le opere, e che tutti potranno vederne un'effigie fedele. Clarorum virorum imagines incitamenta animi. Questo che noi diamo, maestrevolmente ripresentato ed inciso da Domenico Chiossone, è tolto da un disegno fatto fare a posta per me dal conte Carlo Leopardi sotto gli occhi suoi; del quale, donandomelo, mi scriveva: Ecco Giacomo vivo.

Bologna, 15 agosto 1878

I love how Tolkien always punishes the men who mistreat women in Middle-earth. For all the evidence of sexism in his work, besides the amazing female characters he does include, fate in Arda always rewards chivalry and punishes sexual abuse.

One of many things that make Aragorn a hero is that he remains faithful to Arwen, even when being pursued by another woman.

One of many things that make Faramir a hero is that he treats Éowyn as an equal and showers her with the respect she deserves.

And both men live long, happy lives.

Whereas the chauvinists have…different outcomes.

Eöl is punished by death for being so awful a husband to Aredhel that she and their son had to flee from him.

Maeglin himself intentionally gets Gondolin destroyed just because he is lusting after Idril and trying to steal her when she is happily married to someone else, and his ultimate kidnapping attempt causes him to end up at the bottom of a cliff.

Ar-Pharazôn’s comeuppance for forcing Tar-Míriel into marriage and stealing her rightful crown is a total wipeout by Eru Ilúvatar himself.

Tolkien really said “Predators and abusive husbands shall never go unpunished.” 🎉👏🏻

realising what I actually need from Suzanne Collins is just a multi-volume panem history book

#which INCLUDES pre-dark days/origins of panem #because i know she has it written somewhere #i want to know everything about panem #and how it came to be #lotr appendices/silmarillion but make it panem #the hunger games #thg #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #that and a character study of haymitch #because whilst katniss's major character development happended during her games #i think haymitch's happened afterwards with what happened to his family/girlfriend and mentoring

Anyway, I think Elrond had a breakdown on Elladan and Elrohir's sixth birthday because they're so young, which means that he and Elros were that young when—

#because when you're a kid your living your full lived experience #so you don't know how young you are #but oh boy do I think it hit home for Elrond on his sons' birthday #imagining what he went through at that age on /them/ #...angst hours over here #elrond #elros #elrond and elros #elladan #elrohir #the silmarillion #lotr #lotr appendices #third kinslaying #softlysilver

It's often been proposed that diary-style epistolary fiction is the historical literary equivalent of the "found footage" film, but I've gotta believe that pretending your story that you wrote is merely your translation of an historical document that you uncovered is at least in the same ballpark.

Does canon indicate who is older: Elros or Elrond?

Birth Order of Elrond and Elros and Elrond

Good question. My instinct on this was no, canon does not indicate who is older, and indeed further research turned up nothing definitive. (If anyone has evidence to the contrary, please share it!) However, I uncovered a decent hint that Tolkien imagined Elros the elder.

[ETA: Please see this reblog for a revised answer that confirms the Elros theory!]

The fact that they are twins at all is not even in the published Silmarillion or The Lord of the Rings, which introduce them thus:

Bright Eärendil was then lord of the people that dwelt nigh to Sirion’s mouths; and he took to wife Elwing the fair, and she bore to him Elrond and Elros, who are called the Half-elven. The Silmarillion, ‘Of the Voyage of Eärendil and the War of Wrath’ The sons of Eärendil were Elros and Elrond, the Peredhil or Half-elven. The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A

Here, the order in which their names appear does not help us as we get both options.

It’s important to note here that Elros did not even exist from the conception of the mythology of Middle-earth. Elrond son of ‘Eärendel’ does not appear in any of the Lost Tales, but he does show up in the 1926 Sketch of the Mythology, the ‘Earliest’ Silmarillion (one day I’ll make post summarising all these texts, but in the meantime Table 2 at the end of this bio has a lot of them!). Elros does not join him until the next version of the Silmarillion,* the 1930 Quenta Noldorinwa. Here he is added in revisions to the text. In those revisions, his name comes first (‘Elros and Elrond’).

(*When I do not italicise Silmarillion, I am referring to the whole corpus of drafts. Italicised means the published book edited by Christopher Tolkien.)

The same sort of revision is made to Annal 325 of The Later Annals of Beleriand (referred to as AB 2 and written between 1930 and 1937). Christopher Tolkien notes that his father pencilled a note to change the original passage (which only mentions Elrond) to:

The Peringiul, the Half-elven, were born to Elwing wife of Eärendel, while Eärendel was at sea, the twin brethren Elrond and Elros. The History of Middle-earth Vol. 5: The Lost Road, The Later Annals of Beleriand, Commentary on Annal 325.

Important! Christopher then notes, “The order was then inverted to ‘Elros and Elrond’.”

Note that the 1930 Quenta Noldorinwa is the main source for most of the last chapter of the published Silmarillion because Tolkien did not return to a full narrative of this section of the Silmarillion again. However, they are mentioned in the briefly sketched Tale of Years (1951-52), where it is again stated that they were twins and again they appear as ‘Elros and Elrond’.

[Added entry:] 528 [> 532] Elros and Elrond twin sons of Earendil born.* The History of Middle-earth Vol. 11: The War of the Jewels, Tale of Years, Text ‘C’

*[> 532] means this entry was revised to 532, the date you will find in the timeline on Tolkien Gateway (which defaults to the ‘most recent’ revision). Note that The Tale of Years (the published portion of which only covers the 6th century of the First Age) is actually four consecutive drafts: dates are revised and the entries become increasingly detailed, but each draft ends earlier than the last (e.g. Text A goes to FA 600, Text D ends at FA 527). Most of the timelines you find online attempt to consolidate all four drafts — but worth bearing in mind that Tolkien never finalised these dates.

Finally: upon investigating the source text for that one instance, from the published Silmarillion, of Elrond appearing before Elros, I discovered that this was actually an editorial decision. Tolkien himself, as far as I could find, always listed Elros before Elrond.

Now, this is not, as I said, definitive evidence that Elros tumbled out of the womb first. But I’d say it suggests that Elros was the elder, since I can think of no other reason to consistently list them in this order (it’s not alphabetical, for example). And this, indeed, seems to be the fandom’s general consensus.

But, strictly based on canon, you are free to put them in either order. In fact, if you are someone who only takes the published Silmarillion as canon, you don’t even have to make them twins.

If you consider the story of LOTR itself - and, more specifically, the Fellowship members - in full chronological order including the appendices, the story technically ends with Gimli and Legolas departing from Middle-earth, the last ones left of the family that they found so many years ago, during an age of war.

If the movie trilogy had told the entire tale, the final scene would’ve been the aged dwarf and eternally-young Elf turning away from the tombs of their departed king and two dear hobbit friends from so long ago, walking out of Minas Tirith to the shores of Ithilien, stepping onboard a little ship, and sailing into the horizon together.

Just imagine seeing Orlando and John performing a silent scene like that, perhaps in a long take with a few dissolves and quiet music, to end the trilogy on.

One can dream…

so apparently two thirds of my followers don’t know who Eldacar is??? I am FAILING in my ONE DUTY. Here’s the full history lesson, which I spent a good hour typing up, but I suppose the blorboganda could stand to be condensed a bit. So, Eldacar, CliffNotes edition:

the twenty-first King of Gondor

unlike all his predecessors, he wasn’t a full-blooded Númenorean – his mother was from Rhovanion, the land to the north of Gondor

as a result the racist nobles of Gondor did a lot of muttering – and a lot more than muttering – about how Eldacar wouldn’t be as long-lived as a proper Númenorean, and shouldn’t become king, etc etc

when he did finally become king a full-scale civil war called the Kinstrife broke out, especially in the coastal southern regions of Gondor

eventually Eldacar’s second cousin Castamir (whom we hate, deeply and avowedly) usurped his throne

this is called, very sensibly, the Usurpation of Castamir

Osgiliath (which was the capital city of Gondor then) was sacked and burned. Eldacar fled north to Rhovanion, where his mother’s people came from

but!!! Castamir had captured Eldacar’s eldest son, Ornendil!!! and he cruelly put him to death!!! WE’RE VERY SAD ABOUT THIS OK

Castamir tried to be the King of Gondor but he was a shit king. Nobody liked him and he tried to move the seat of the king south to Pelargir (one of the port cities) which made people less keen on him

meanwhile Eldacar, who was “fearless” and also “handsome and valiant” (these are DIRECT QUOTES. also a direct quote: “the bestest boy in the world”) showed up with an alliance of people from Rhovanion and the North of Gondor

which was made easier because Castamir was such a shit king that people were more than happy to fight for Eldacar instead

and they had a big battle. lots of people on both sides died.

and Eldacar PERSONALLY KILLED CASTAMIR and he AVENGED HIS SON. how’s THAT for a triumphal return of the true king!!!

and then he lived to be 235 so they were all wrong about his lifespan anyway

the end.

Teletheric Transduction Pocket Guide - Table of Contents!

So, the appendix for Season 3 Episode 2 of Midst [link] is a pocket book, opened to its introductory pages, but I noticed that if you look closely, you can see the text on the previous and next pages! It's a little hard to read [to say the least], but @captainofthetidesbreath quickly flipped and edited the image which made it much easier!

And to make things even easier still, I am going to give you a full transcript.
