Elrond : Self care is actually getting into fights with randoms in dark alleys.
Elros : No, self care is stuff like taking a bubble bath, or putting on a lot of makeup if you like it, or taking a nice warm nap!
Maglor: Self care is the burning heat when rage washes over you!! Self care is when you feel the bones crack under your powerful fists!! Self care is the fear in your enemies’ eyes!!!
Maedhros: Lmao self care is taking your birthday cake just so I can eat the frosting.
Elrond : If you touch my birthday cake I’ll make you eat your hands.

(green // blue means two main options, red means i need to think about it more)
The main details I'm figuring out right now are
does Celebrimbor still die at Eregion - I don't think he's getting captured/tortured, but he could still die in the battle. On the other hand, he could probably survive by using Narya & Lomion using Nenya, but that would definitely have repercussions further down the line
how does Idril's deal work - I'm currently thinking of Idril exchanging the location of Gondolin for her family's guaranteed safety, because it seems in character for Reverse Idril? But on the other hand, even if I limit it to immediate family at the time of the oath (tuor, turgon, earendil) then idk where turgon dies? Maybe Maglor can kill him but that seems kind of random
where and how does Turgon die
how does Prince Elrond's character even work
how does Numenor still fall when factoring in Prince Elrond - I'm thinking that the morgoth death cult gained enough traction during the time sauron was there that even after Elrond kicks him out, the cult still sticks around and reemerges later? The Fall still happens, but they never go to attack valinor and there's a good deal more Faithful (maybe 40-60%?)
#silm#silmarillion#not art#reverse gondolin au#basically elrond is giving me a Lot of trouble here#i tacked an extra 30 years onto the FA (so the SA dates are mostly shifted up by 30 years to balance it out; hence elros being king in SA 2#this means e&e were adults during the Fall of Gondolin and the war of wrath and all#so instead of 'kind as summer' elrond of the last homely house in rivendell#we have gondolithrim veteran/dragonslayer Prince Elrond of Imladris Stronghold#and later the Bastion of the Faithful of Numenor#ironically enough he turned out way more feanorian when not raised by feanorians#instead of sirion e&e's defining Childhood Trauma was the gondolin kinslaying#in which mae and aredhel duel to the death while screaming at each other about fingon's fate and the Oath#and argon and elenwes deaths on the helcaraxe#also elwing fully died trying to protect them in this one#and then e&e were like 20something and sons/grandsons of two Lords durign the FoG so obviously they ended up fighting there too#and then again at the war of wrath#and by the mid SA elrond has already lived through so many wars he's running rather low on hope#so Prince Elrond still tries to be kind but is also substantially more willing to threaten people if need be#after eregion he founds imladris as a haven but also an impenetrable fortress#he saw the fall of gondolin and he knows that rivendell couldn't last forever#but he believes he can make it last long enough to defeat sauron first#or at least push him back so that the refugees of eregion can rebuild and survive#meanwhile celebrimbor takes up the last homely house role#but yeah Prince Elrond is pretty interesting#he intervenes more with numenor bc hes watching them self destruct and knows (bc foresight) exactly what would happen#so he tries (eventually in vain) to prevent it by disowning and exiling ar pharazon#and later exiling sauron around the time of the burning of nimloth#but it's too late and the morgoth cult already gained enough traction#on the other hand there's a lot more Faithful led by tar-miriel

All I'm saying is that "the hands of the king are the hands of a healer" can't have come out of nowhere, and I bet it goes back to Elros Tar-Minyatur and Numenor because there's no reason for Elros not to be a healer too, and the idea/phrase just traveled all the way down to Arnor and Gondor through the Third Age.

I have many complex feelings about aging and the appearance of age in tolkien's world. For example, I always draw Melian as an old woman [seen here at the end of the chapter - highly recommend the fic as well!] because when I realized she and Gandalf were the same species, that was the image of her that formed. It's not supported by text, but it compels me so I keep it. On the flip side, I actually don't like to depict Elros as growing a beard or aging. Elrond is never described as an elf, he's very specifically a peredhil. Elros would have been the same. I like the idea that they are both set apart a little from their chosen people.
And imagine how eerie it would have been, for Elros to look the same and yet still draw apart... to grow slower and wiser, yet somehow more tired, over the years. Almost like an invisible disability, but they both know what's happening. And then one day... this young man dies of old age. Surrounded by his children, who DO age (if slowly) for maximum uncanny valley.

Arwen: But I love him, Dad!
Elrond, thousands of years old, probably still feels like Aragorn is only one or two generations removed from Elros instead of thousands of generations removed from Elros: This is Rivendell! Not Rivabama!

Headcanon that none of the Peredhel twins were identical, however, all of them do bear uncanny resemblances to various ancestors.  Eluréd and Elurín looked precisely like Dior and Barahir, respectively.  Elrond canonically resembles Lúthien, while Elros was nearly an exact copy of Haleth, although there wasn’t anyone left who recognized it.  Former Doriathrim agree that Elladan is the image of Nimloth, and the handful of Gondolindrim and Sirion survivors still in Middle-Earth swear up and down (though not to the Everlasting Darkness) that Elrohir is Tuor reborn. 
Arwen, for all that she strongly resembles her father and Lúthien by extension, is actually closer to Elwing in appearance if one looks really closely.  Eldarion doesn’t especially look like any one ancestor in particular, but Aragorn says that he has Gilraen’s eyes, and Celeborn does a double take the first time he meets his great grand-son because that is undoubtedly Elu Thingol’s bone structure right there.

Galion the wine expert, and Elros the keys keeper...
Can't get enough of them literally bitching about their king's tantrum while stealing his wine 🤣
And then Bilbo stole the key right under their nose...
I can imagined all the horror they will endure 🤣🤣

Elros and Gil-galad were besties and they bonded over how horrible ruling/dealing with snobistic aristocrats is, whenever Elros visited Lindon for holidays (yes Elros was visiting for christmas, I know that in canon it is said that once he sailed to Númenor he stayed there until his death, but if John wants me to believe that he'd better get out of his grave and try to convince me personally (a.k.a. they can pry the idea of Elros visiting his brother and said brother's boyfriend in Lindon from my cold dead hands))
Also Elrond was sitting next to them at the table, listening and smiling softly over his glass of wine

having some Thoughts N Feelings abt elrond & elros + the historical practice of rulers taking children from the families of their tributaries or even their (nominal) allies as hostages
primarily that (1) the Politics of the Fëanorions having the heirs of Fingolfin AND Thingol AND All Three of the Three Houses as their hostages is like… soooo overlooked and underutilized in the fanworks I’ve seen
and (2) i think it would be rlly funny and also fucked-up if most elves are Totally Scandalized And Horrified by this Weird Human Behavior of “hostage-taking” if/when they see it happening in the second & third ages as human settlements & societies in M-E grow & develop, while Elrond is just like, “this is Normal, what are you Talking about”
#mine#silm#like the story can’t Not be informed by that practice/history to some degree but it’s also a weird fucked-up edge case bc like#at the point when m&m have e&e it’s like. the Entirety of their close family is either dead or absent or absent and Presumably dead#so e&e are functioning less as incentive for their immediate family to act a certain way & more as an all-purpose deterrent#to aggression or retaliation against the fëanorians by any remaining sindarin or noldorin forces who take issue with all the Crimes.#anyways it’s Vital to me that elrond (and elros too) be a Little Bit Feral and have just the Slightest weirdness about him#in terms of his expectations for How Stuff Works—bc there’s no way he’s getting out of his Canonical Early Life w/out being a BIT fucked up#(elros is equally Weird ftr but the atani don’t care as much bc they’re more adaptable than elves and also elros is The Literal King#so there’s nobody of high enough rank to judge him overtly and also i think the numenoreans are like His Weirdness Is Our Weirdness#ALSO also i think early numenor should have a patronage/fosterage system within the nobility that isn’t Officially inspired by All That#but isn’t NOT inspired by it either. which is yet another thing that could come full circle and develop (back) into being#more traditional hostage-taking For Assurance Of Loyalty And Good Behavior as the years wear on and numenor gets corrupted. anyways)#for the record i fall in the middle on the hostage-taking reaction spectrum. i think it’s fucked up to a degree but i also Understand it#as a political tool and i think i’m more forgiving/accepting of it than ur average second- or third-age elf would be#so i think elrond’s blasé reaction (which i have made up) is like. indicative that he does still have some Issues in terms of like#conceptualizing personal relationships and family ones & recognizing that uh being removed from ur family and raised#by their political ‘enemies’ may in fact have Certain (Negative) Emotional Impacts on ppl. (possibly bc he doesn’t Want to think abt it)#(bc that would force him to do some certain Unplesant Introspection and life is hard enough for a half-elf without giving urself#further Emotional Damage by trying to unpack the Absolute Mess that was ur childhood and adolescence in the midst of an apocalypse)#but that’s neither here nor there and these tags are long enough already#oh wait i’m not done going back to (1) i know we all imagine maedhros being Fucked Up in the aftermath of the Nirnaeth + kinslayings BUT#do you genuinely want me to believe that maedhros—THEE political luminary of beleriand—was Not thinking abt The Politics#when maglor pulled these two fucking kids out of the wreckage of sirion and was like ‘i’ll be sad if we kill them :(‘#imo it would have been IMPOSSIBLE to forget that they are the heirs of Absolutely Everyone and depending on his thoughts on the future#maedhros Must have had at least a couple of Plans for these kids ranging from ‘assure my people’s safety Whoever i have to kill for it’ to#‘protect two of the Extremely Few uncontroversial political leaders the elves have left & make sure theyre Competent for when they do lead’#however Wrecked he was by It All i dont think that the politics part of his brain Ever turns off & it might have been kicking into overdriv#at that point in order to Not think about the Everything Else that was happening. ok NOW i’m done#sorry for tag rant it’s just that i have Thoughts and they are Correct but not organized enough to make it into the Actual Post

@halfelvenweek​ day three | heritage ✦ númenóreans | the king’s men
Now this yearning grew ever greater with the years; and the Númenóreans began to hunger for the undying city that they saw from afar, and the desire of everlasting life, to escape from death and the ending of delight, grew strong upon them; and ever as their power and glory grew greater their unquiet increased. For though the Valar had rewarded the Dúnedain with long life, they could not take from them the weariness of the world that comes at last, and they died, even their kings of the seed of Eärendil; and the span of their lives was brief in the eyes of the Eldar.
[...]
But the King said: ‘And does not Eärendil, my forefather, live? Or is he not in the land of Aman?’
To which they answered: ‘You know that he has a fate apart, and was adjudged to the Firstborn who die not; yet this also is his doom that he can never return again to mortal lands. Whereas you and your people are not of the Firstborn, but are mortal Men as Ilúvatar made you. Yet it seems that you desire now to have the good of both kindreds, to sail to Valinor when you will, and to return when you please to your homes. That cannot be.’

May i request a legolas x reader where they both annoy each other, but are trapped in a situation where they realize what true fondness they share?? thank you very much, have a fantastic day!
Annoying Fondness
A/n: Of course Anon, I hope you enjoy, also kinda think I made Legolas look like an asshole at the start.
Summary: (the Request)
Pairing: Legolas X Reader
Ft: Reader is Feren's sibling.
Tumblr media
Legolas was annoying, he had no respect for you or what you do, why couldn't he be like Thranduil, the King had respect for you, mostly because you were the only good forgemaster around, Legolas came in saying is weapons were broken when you were working on fixing your Brothers armor and expected you to do it right away, because he was busy and needed it for Patrol, you just handed him another weapon and told him to use that for now.
Or all the times he went to the forge to talk his head off to you about how great and wonderful Tauriel was, you fill well know Tauriel didn't like Legolas back so you kept your mouth shut about it, and that prince was so over energetic.
So you hated the situation you had become trapped in, hiding from spiders because they surrounded you and there were to many to take out on your own, you had somewhat pinned the prince to the floor and kept your hand over his mouth, you waited but the sounds of the spiders never faded enough so you could get out, you pulled Legolas to your hiding place in the woods, Feren never let you go out to hunt so you slipped out, the passage lead to the kings throne, you weren't sure how Thranduil had not found it yet, you removed the bark and put it to one side, you at Legolas, slipped in and you closed it behind you.
This certainly wasn't built for two people, Legolas glared at you as you passed him, the tunnel had been collapsed you cursed yourself and turned back to legolas.
"What the hell is this place, do you have secret hide outs all threw these woods and no one knew about them" Legolas hissed at you in anger, You annoyed Legolas mostly because you didn't care for a lot of things and you had always been shifty and shady, you were like a snake to him, one he could catch or find proof of.
"No the King knows dumbass, well he knows most of them, he uses one to get away from his people with when they are all being stupid, your ada let me keep them after he found out as long as he could use them" You shot, the room was very cramped as the tree wasn't big, so you and Legolas were right on top of each other.
"The reason we are in this mess is because of you" Legolas shot at you.
"No it is not my fault, it's yours, if you didn't go bursting into that nest alone, then we wouldn't be trapped in this mess, Feren and Tauriel are already back by now, they probably noticed we didn't go with them, they'll send a search party soon enough, we just have to sit still until then" You said
"How are they meant to find us if this is a secret to all but my father" Legolas said
"Actually this one is a secret to your father, the tunnel led under his throne and you open the back peice and then your in the halls, unfortunetly for us, it collapsed 5-6's days maybe weeks ago by the looks of it" You said seconds turned to minutes which turned into hours of silent, you cursed not being able to tell what the prince was thinking it was annoying.
Legolas hadn't even thought how beautiful you were, he was always more concerned with Tauriel, he couldn't see what was right in front of him as he found you so annoying, the way your ears were pointier than his or the way your eyes seemed to shift threw the shades of Y/E/C depending on the lighting, or how soft your hands were given you were a forge master it was impressive, your face was made as it was sculpted by the Valar themselves or how your braids looked simple and yet were very intricately done with skill like it was it's own air piece or how you seemed to weave the way your brother did his into almost every one.
You glanced to Legolas as he was staring at you, it was hard not to stare at each other as the space was so cramp, you half cursed yourself for looking, you didn't even realize how little you thought of Legolas you only thought of him when he annoyed you, he was kind of cute for someone so annoying, how is brows were furrowed together in concentration to not fall on top of you, fuck were you really falling for the prince now.
You realized you should probably stop the continued silence you moved over and pulled him down to sit next to you, it was a cramped fit but the prince welcomed it, when you got talking you realized you had more in common than you realized with the prince.
"So, how is Feren in a family sense he's always so focused by duty" Legolas questioned
"The same, but the duty is directed at being a good elder brother, given our father lives in Lothlórien and our mother passed when we were Elflings we never got to know her" You said
"why did you move to the Greenwood then" Legolas questioned
"Wasn't our choice, our mother passed because she was ambushed by orcs much like Elrond's wife, it was a convoy going from Lothlórien to the Greenwood, your father found us, hidden under some blankets, the rest of the elves that were with us was slain, he told Lady Galadriel about it, who told our father, but he never came, so Elros parents offered to raise us, we never went back because we have no life there" You told Legolas
"Oh I'm sorry for asking" Legolas said
"Don't be, I don't need your pity nor your sympathy, how did your mother" You trailed off
"During the war with Angmar, she was one of the fallen" Legolas said, the silence from before returned before it was quickly lost again about Legolas talking about how skilled an archer he was.
"A skill archer, you may be the best in the greenwood, but i bet you, i can beat you" You said
"And what do I get if i beat you" Legolas said.
"I am trading with the Dwarves of Erebor next week, they say i am allowed the dead corpse of the dragon as well as some Black Iron and Mithril, Dragon scale and hide are nearly impossible to break and if you were mithril under it, I will make you a new set of armor and arrows with the tips of Black Iron" you said
"And if you win" Legolas said
"You annoy Lord Elrond out of my Forge if he comes to it, the next 30 visits, as wise as that Lord is, i don't need criticism from him, it's my forge not his" You returned
"Actually it's my fathers forge but you are his forge master" Legolas said
"Oh shut up the details are not necessary" you said you put your hand on Legolas mouth
"shh, someones out side" you whispered into his ear.
"They couldn't hid in very many places here do you think" Came Feren's voice
"Your sibling has hiding places and hidden weapons all around this forest Feren, i know less then half of them" Thranduil's voice came, Legolas looked besides you and his eyes widened.
"Found you" The spider hissed at you, Legolas shot out of the tree you however grabbed a sword and stumbled out the spider on top of you, you shoved the sword into it's face you kicked it off you, you stood and brushed yourself off.
"Turns out those places aren't safe any more" you shrugged you turned to legolas
"Is that bet on or not" You questioned him, he nodded as you threw the sword to Thranduil
"That is yours" you said as he caught it, what happened after that day was far from what anyone expected
"All we needed to do was lock you in a tight enclosed space" Feren said looking at you and Legolas
"i guess" You shrugged as you pressed a kiss to Legolas' temple,
"i should of shoved you in that broom closet" Feren said
"If you did that I would of Killed you" Legolas let out a chuckle as his arms wrapped around your back and his head rested on your chest as you straddled him.
"Don't kill your brother" Legolas hmmed.
"What are we just going to hang out in the forge now, instead of trying to avoid Legolas, I have to admit it was fun" Elros said Melduir nodded in agreement
"Hey, that was not fun, you talked to me on Patrol, but as soon as we got back you bolted" Legolas said
"Hey that's what you get if you annoy Y/n, we did it to Feren once" Melduir said
"Oh and You hurt them, we will kill you, we don't care if it's treason" Feren said.

I think the thing I love about Túrin is that no matter how shit he is at it? He never lets the world forget he is the protagonist (and antagonist) of his own story. He is the one his world centers, and I say that affectionately.
