#maglor elrond and elros

[soothingmoonlight]

It melts my heart that in the Bulgarian version of “The Silmarillion” the sentence

“For Maglor took pity upon Elros and Elrond, and he cherished them, and love grew after between them, as little might be thought;”

is translated as follows:

“Маглор съжалил Елронд и Елрос и бащински се погрижил за тях, а след време помежду им се зародила неподозирано силна обич;“

The direct translation of the sentence from the Bulgarian version to English would be:

“Maglor took pity upon Elrond and Elros and took care of them as a father would/took care of them in a fatherly way, and after awhile an unexpectedly strong love grew between them;”

It is just so heartwarming to know that the guy who translated The Silmarillion to Bulgarian thought that the best way to convey what Tolkien meant was by including the word father/fatherly (баща [bashta]/бащински [bashtinski]).

He probably read that one sentence and thought “Yep, that dude definitely adopted these two boys.”

Also, it is worth pointing out that the Bulgarian words “обич [obich]” and “любов [lyubov]“ both can mean love. However, “любов [lyubov]“ is used for sexual/romantic relationships while  “обич [obich]” is used for platonic relationships. When you talk about love between friends, siblings, parent and child you definitely want to use the word  “обич [obich]” otherwise things can get really weird. When talking about the love between Maglor, Elrond and Elros, the translator used the word “обич [obich]” .

Late submission for @maedhrosmaglorweek Day 7 - Storytelling

I think Maglor sang or read the twins to sleep almost every night when they were little (or simply told them stories of Valinor and whatever else came to mind because I assume they didn't actually have that many books lying around by that point in time, let alone ones suitable for children). And if Maglor asked Maedhros to "help" every now and then, it totally wasn't because he hoped it would entice his brother (who hasn't slept in a week) to rest as well. Maglor would never resort to such tactics.

Alt version below the cut because I couldn't decide on a color scheme and I had everything on separate layers anyways, so:

I always felt that Elros was closer to Maglor and Elrond to Maedhros, because Maglor needed a king and Maedhros, a healer.

I've always wandered how it happened that Maedhros and Maglor adopted twins, so why not like this?

If it comes to their tails... maybe just don't ask (or ask if you want, but it's kinda silly story) ✨

There were quite a few people who absolutely refused to believe Elrond and Elros were who they claimed to be when they first came to Gil-Galad's camp. This led to the rise of several extremely questionable theories on who they really were, from the more mundane– they're just two half-elves the Feanorians found somewhere– to the more... esoteric, like that Maglor had "sung them into existence" to fool the armies of Valinor into letting them steal the Silmarils.

The most popular theory was that Elrond and Elros were actually the children of Maglor and Daeron of Doriath, and that they'd been kept secret for... some reason– look I never said the conspiracy theories made sense. E&E look a lot like Luthien (Luthien and Daeron are siblings with pretty similar features) and a bit like Fingolfin (who looks like Feanor who looks like Maglor), so it's not totally implausible. It would also explain how E&E had Maia powers without being Elwing's kids. And that was just enough information for it to become a completely unkillable rumor. Most of it dies down after E&E show some clearly human traits, like getting sick, but there are still die-hard believers out there. Some genealogies from the early Third Age list Elrond as Daeron and Maglor's child.

Elrond, who's been confronted about his "real parents" several times, is very over it. Gil-Galad thinks it's extremely funny.
