WIP Wednesday

Thank you @hobbitwrangler for tagging me! 💛 Here is a snippet from Glorestor on my phone, featuring Elrond’s nosy little kids.

Glorfindel clears his throat, smiling at Erestor in a way that is dizzying, before returning his attention to Arwen and the boys. “You all are quite perceptive,” he says with a wink. “Erestor and I are indeed courting, but it’s a secret. We are waiting until the right moment to tell others.”

“Glorfindel, you-“

The blond Elf actually presses a finger to Erestor’s lips and says,

“Shh, darling. They won’t tell. Will you, children?”

“Oh! No, of course not!” Arwen chirps.

“No!” Elladan agrees.

“Not even Mother and Father?” Elrohir asks, uncertain.

Are they actually courting? The real question is, can Elrohir keep a secret? 😂

Tagging @cilil @dragonridersofficer-fiammag @lordoftherazzles (no pressure, y’all) and whoever would like to do this!

Not gonna lie, Elrond probably has the BEST case of Dad Lore™️ that has ever existed.

Like one day Elrohir is just helping wrap bandages or some shit and offhandedly mentions a cave he found and Elrond just goes off on a mini tangent of a cave he slept in with Maedhros when he did CPR for the first time and ate an orc raw or some shit. Elrohir just looks at him like ?????? And Elrond never mentions it again.

Arwen will be talking about dwarven trade routes and he will just be like “oh I’m pretty sure that’s where I delivered that dwarven baby after we hid from goblins back in the second age” and then no one knows what’s going on.

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

Peredhel biology is interesting. They can become mortal or immortal; and it's not entirely clear what the "default" setting is. Is it even the same for all half-elves? What are the implications of being part-elf and part-man? And that's not even getting into the part-Maiarin or pseudo-Maiarin(? Earendil?) Peredhel. There are a lot of really interesting ideas and interpretations there, but I'd like to share a few I've been wanting to write about:

The Peredhel choice is a myth; whether half-elves become mortal or immortal is baked into their biology. Because of the nature of twins, one will always be mortal and one will always be immortal. (I'm mostly thinking about the implications for Elrond and Elros here because I don't even want to consider what that would mean for Elladan and Elrohir)

Peredhel have the strange ability to "mimic" those around them; they appear more elvish amongst elves and more mannish amongst men. No one really knows how they do this, but it's led to lots of stories about "changelings."

Actually, lots of Peredhel have weird, vaguely mystical abilities. Think about the kind of things you'd read about in a fairytale- speaking to animals, unusual strength, preternatural charm. These things aren't unheard of amongst elves or men, but they're a lot more common amongst Peredhel. It's suspected to be some sort of Ainuric boon, or possibly a result of half-elven souls being more "flexible."

Because their souls are inherently kind of unstable, Peredhel fade more easily then elves. That being said, the "symptoms" of fading are different (elves will literally become translucent, while half-elves will lose weight, sleep for most of the day and still be tired, etc.), so it's often assumed to be a normal mortal illness until it becomes a life-threatening situation.

Ulmo has kind of adopted the Peredhel as his people. He's their patron, and he cares for them all. Many half-elves live or work near or on the ocean, and for those who are immortal, the desire to sail west generally manifests less as wanting to go to Valinor and more a literal desire to go to the sea. Half-elves who are inclined to pray usually do so to Ulmo. There's a reason that Rivendell is protected by a river. Also, yes, Earendil is still absolutely Ulmo's guy, he's just also Varda's guy. They have a very friendly custody agreement.

Return

Elves sleeping with their eyes closed is a sign of depression

Elves sleeping with their eyes closed is a sign of depression

Elves sleeping with their eyes closed is a sign of depression

It’s because it implies that the elf no longer wants to exist in life, that they wished they didn’t have to deal with the world anymore.

Silvans often sleep with their eyes closed.

They’re just tired™️. They want to have just 1 second where they’re not worrying about surviving.

The first time Elladan and Elrohir caught Legolas sleeping with his eyes closed they were so worried. They did not want their favorite silvan to feel depressed or fade.

It took years for Legolas to reassure them that, no, he’s not dying anytime soon and to convince them to at least not hover around him every second of everyday. (They’re still very concerned though, but they back off)

It did not help when Legolas explained he liked sleeping with his eyes closed by calling it “death without the commitment”.

I like to think that the real reason Elrond left to Valinor was because Aragorn and Arwen’s daughters were actually twins and he wasn’t ready to face the chaos the first girl twins of the House of Finwë would unleash upon Midde Earth

It's always weird when (some) people talk about the choice of the half-Elven as if they evolve like Pokémon upon choosing their ultimate fates.

Elros didn't become exclusively human. He chose to retain the gift of Men and to be counted among Men as far as that ultimate fate went, but he remained a half-Elf. He didn't gain a beard (even descendants as remote as Aragorn, Boromir, and Faramir can't because of Elros) or most Mannish qualities he didn't already possess and he lived half a millennium.

Elrond chose to be counted among Elves in terms of immortality, but he isn't exclusively an Elf. He's described as both Elf and Man, and as the eldest of Aragorn's people. Elrond's marriage to a full Elf produces peredhel children. Two of them are given names signifying Elf+(human)Man, names which Tolkien translated as "Elf-knight" (in Númenórean Sindarin) and "Elf-Númenórean." Elrond's sons are always distinguished from Elves in LOTR.

Arwen doesn't morph into a human woman when she swears her vows with Aragorn; she still looks like f!Elrond and ageless years afterwards, and she would be very long-lived even if you only counted her married life. She is probably the most emphatically Elvish of any peredhel, but she's still a peredhel. Elwing and Eärendil are, too. Peredhil are peredhil are peredhil.

Lindir: Hi Dad!

Elrond: Not your dad, but hello Lindir.

Erestor: Hello, dad.

Elrond: Hello Erestor. What are you doing?

Glorfindel: Hi, dad!

Elrond: You're literally older than me, that's a known fact. What are you three doing?

Elladan: Hi, dad!

Elrond: Hello, Elladan. I actually am your father. Do you know what they're doing?

Erestor: What? You act like a dad to everyone so now reap the consequences of your actions.

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.
