#shamelessly pushing my ‘miriel and thranduil are twins agenda’

[silvantransthranduiltrash]

Hc in my au:

Thranduil doesn’t speak Quenya, but he does speak Primitive Quendian bc he was literally there when that was still the language used, so while he doesn’t understand exactly what people are saying when they speak in quenya, he does get the gist of it using context clues.

The thing is, no one realizes it, so sometimes some noldor elves are talking in quenya, talking shit in front of him, thinking he can’t understand them, but he can. He’s been wanting to drop that little tit bit of information forever, but he can only do it once, so it has to have the largest impact as possible.

Naturally, he replys to something galadriel said in quenya in sindarin, knowing exactly what the conversation was about, in the middle of a banquet, and he could see half the elves present go through the 5 stages of grief right then and there as galadriel reboots her systems.

Ok, but i can just imagine, many years post canon in valinor when legolas is visiting the twins at the same time as the kidnap dads are visiting elrond:

Maglor, trying to be friendly with his grandsons’ friend: so... what are your thoughts in regards to the kinslayings?

Legolas: idk, i mean it’s not like i was directly affected by it so i can’t exactly hold out too much judgement. Also, while horrible, the shit ya’ll did does not even come near my top 100 fucked up things i’ve witnessed while in middle earth.

Maedhros: wasn’t- wasn’t your grandfather, oropher, from Doriath though?

Legolas: lmao, yeah, but if you think he didn’t contemplate murder, specifically regicide, a time or 100, then you’ve clearly never met him.

Legolas: besides, he once tried to destroy the world way back in the days before Orome stumbled across the elves, he has no leg to stand on.

Maedhros:...

Maglor: your dad, though?

Legolas: both my father and grandmother chose to stay with the silvans when they split off during the great journey. So even if grandfather Oropher had died in doriath, it wouldn’t have affected my existence.

Legolas: so like i said, it’s really not my place to hold a grudge against you when there are plenty of elves that were actually affected by it doing the job just fine.

.——————————————————

Btw, this is my Miriel and thranduil are twins au so don’t come at me with “but that’s not canon!”

What if the silvans came across maglor?

Like, the silvans, led by lasgen, are doing a routine check in along the coasts. Basically they keep an eye on everything that’s going on in middle earth, not just mirkwood, but only really interfer with mirkwood bc they do not have the numbers to help all of middle earth but do want to be kept in the loop.

So one day, this group comes across what at first looks like a mound of ratty hair and rags attached to what looks like a corpse.but then it starts moving and singing and the silvans go “oh, ok, so this is an elf”

And then they remember that there’s only 1 elf that they know of that doesn’t live in an established elven haven and that would allow himself to get this bad.

And then their like “oh, ok, so this is Maglor.”

And they drag him back to mirkwood.

Well “drag” is an overstatement. Lasgen picks him up in one arm and doesn’t let go bc he weighs about as much as a toothpick.

So they get to mirkwood and Maglor is promptly shoved into the healing ward bc 1. That’s Miriel’s grandkid. And 2. Even the ones who are still a little pissed at the kinslayings take one look at the sad bag of bones that is maglor and go “yeah, no, i think he payed enough for his sins. This is just sad at this point.”

So the silvans collectivly agressively heal him and smother him in kindness. And maglor has absolutely no idea what the fuck is happening bc he never interacted with silvans and shouldn’t the sindar who survived from doriath hate his guts?

The sindar: babe, at this point hating you feels like kicking an abused puppy. It’s been over an age. We have more important fish to fry.

But despite all that, they can’t stop Maglor from singing about his woes as he’s done for millennia. Everyday. Every hour. He does not shut up unless unconscious.

Eventually they get so sick of it they tell elrond to come get his dad.

Elrond: and to what reason do i have the pleasure of hosting the silvans today?

Legolas, sick and tired of hearing the same sad song for weeks on end: come get your father, his singing is making our forces depressed.

Elrond: ... wha-

Legolas: please, maglor is driving us crazy with his kicked puppy demeanor. He does not understand that our sindars have already forgiven him and his. He keeps wailing and at this point you’re our last hope to get him to stop.

Ngl, i really like the idea of all the other elves just.... chronically de-aging the silvan and avari elves they meet. Everytime they come incontact with one they always think they’re millenia younger than they really are. At this point the silvans and avari have just given up on correcting them.

The Noldor and Sindar, who stayed in ME post first age: oh, Oropher is just a young adult who was born in the protection of Melian’s girdle and Elu’s court who has no real world experience and hates kinslayers!

Oropher, one of the elves who awoke at the lake, followed Elwe to look out for him bc he was his godson, and was one of the leaders of the factions of elves before Orome found them: uhuh

The Noldor and Sindar, who stayed in ME post battle of the last alliance: oh Thranduil is just a big child woth no experience and is a hauty drunk.

Thranduil, who was born in the age of the trees alongside his twin Miriel and babysat the -we’s, who decided to stay with his mother amongst the silvans when the elves went on their great journey to valinor: ok...

The Noldor and Sindar, who witnessed legolas participate in the fellowship of the ring: Legolas is such a young elf! Practically a baby! He didn’t even witness the Battle of the Last alliance! He’s so sheltered in Mirkwood!

Legolas, youngest of 4, born a millenia before the end of the second age, babysat Elrond’s kids, is a highranking official in Greenwood’s army, has been holding back sauron for centuries: Sure.

[silvantransthranduiltrash]

Elrond: so when is your begetting day? I just realized that for all you enjoy parties, you’ve never thrown a begetting day party.

Thranduil, born sometime after the elves awakened but before they started counting years or months: fuck if i know.

Heigh comparisons for the elves in my “pushing my miriel and thranduil are twins agenda” and “4 silvan sibs” au.

Cloudryad looks so small, but she’s one of the only ones to have a normal height.

Oropher is a tall boy, and only slightly shorter than his nephew elwe.

Miriel and thranduil are identical twins, except thranduil’s trans so of course they’re the same height.

Lasgen somehow being the exact height of her father was interesting.

Lirion got some of those oropher genes, though not enough to break 7ft.

Kleoyia’s still resonably tall for most people, but she’s on the shorter side of the family.

Legolas is eternally pissed for not only being the youngest but also the shortest of his siblings.

Imagine:

A Visiting elf from Imlardis coming across a painting of Miriel and Thranduil in Mirkwood and assumes that Miriel (who they don’t recognize) is Thranduil’s wife. 1 reason why they don’t recognize Miriel (even though they never met her anyway) is because in most elves’ minds Miriel is a calm, somber elleth always weaving. In the painting she’s grinning with a sword in hand and arm wrapped around her brother.

Anyway, word spreads, and eventually Elrond and such gets told “hey, this is what Thranduil’s wife looks like”. And it just- generates the most well meaning but awkward conversation in history.

Elrond: so from what i understand your wife was quite beautiful.

Thranduil: ...what

Elrond: yes, one if my elves saw a painting of you and her together. Apparently she was holding a sword and grinning fiercely. I can certainly see where Legolas gets his character from!

Thranduil: *retches* oh my god-

Elrond: -is there a problem?

Thranduil: *gags* you can bet there’s a problem, you’re talking about is my twin sister-

Elrond: -i didn’t know you had a twin-

Thranduil: she hasn’t been in Middle earth for millennia, i’m certainly not gonna bring her up out of nowhere, and back to where i was going-

Thranduil: how dare you put the mental image of me and my sister being *gags* romantic *shudders* in my brain! Someone invent brain bleach, stat!

Cloudryad: if you were my husband, i’d drink it.

So (my au) legolas has big-ish family, right?

Like, obviously it’s not as big as it could be because it’s only 3 generations, as opposed to most elven families who have dozens of generations by the end of the 3rd age.

Anyways,

Legolas has 3 older siblings, his dad, and his grandma, who are all still alive and kicking in middle earth during the third age, but the only times they’re together is in greenwood. They are pretty much never in each other’s facinity outside of their forest, so while other beings and elves are subconsciously aware that legolas has a family, they’ve never met any of them, or realized that the ones they have met are 1 of legolas’s family members.

Literally the only reason any of the other elves realized legolas was thranduil’s son in the first place, despite having met him many times before, is because thranduil was like:

Thranduil: fuck. I have a meeting with the other elven leaders scheduled next week as an update meeting. I really don’t want to deal with it.

Legolas, the only one of his siblings currently in the palace: *minding his own business*

Thranduil: *yoinks legolas* fuck it, according to the noldor, in case the king can’t make it, the king’s kids can represent them.

Legolas, the poor unfortunate soul: *screeches as he’s unceremoniously grabbed and all but shoved in the direction of the meeting place*

Later:

Elrond: *confused why this elf is here and not the silvan king* legolas? Why are you here?

Legolas, a spitefull petty bitch: i am here to represent my father king Thranduil, as he is unavailable due to mourning his wife, who was killed in an attack several weeks ago.

Later:

Trans Thranduil, whose kids are all products of flings and has never had a wife, receiving condolence letters from other elven leaders: legolas, you little shit-

Lasgen, Lirion, and Kleoyia when they heard what legolas pulled: *cackles* *dying of laughter*

[silvantransthranduiltrash]

A noldo meets lasgen, and notes that her hair is shoulder length and looks like feanor’s: what, are you a feanorian sympathetic too? Do you idolize that crazy as well?

Lasgen:

Lasgen: first of all, i’ve been wearing my hair like this since before finwe knew what sex was.

Lasgen: second of all, feanor’s crazy got nothing on mine.

Can’t get over how Miriel and Thranduil in my au mirror Elros and Elrond

Both of them are a set of twins that ultimately decide to go seperate ways, never to see each other again untill the end of time.

Both Miriel and Elros choose to leave the family they currently have in favor of what might be and ultimately die in the end.

Both Thranduil and Elrond decide to stay and have to live with the knowledge that they are sundered from their other halves forever through no fault of their own.

Both Thranduil and Elrond have to deal with and interact with the descendents of their respective twin, without really being able to acknowledge them as niblings.

Both sets of twins loosing their other halves not because of the darkness or sauron or morgoth, but rather because of life and the way it leads them down seperate paths.

In Valinor the last of the mortal fellowship has just been buried.

After the funeral:

Glorfindel: where’s legolas?

Elrond: let him be, he is grieving.

Meanwhile:

Legolas, already sailing away from valinor: My dad always told me to never walk into a cage without a way out.

Hc that different types of elves are able to use magic in different ways/to different levels.

I will be focusing more on the avari and silvan elves as i am known to do:

Magic, in this sense, is more like the life force that flows through everything and everyone. Elves generate an extra amount of it which, they then can use through pathways in their body. Humans and dwarves, etc, are rarely able to use magic to an effective result bc they don’t generate as much as elves and aren’t built with the pathways to access it, though dwarves can occasionally channel the magic around them into the objects they create.

Silvans actually have a surprisingly high level of magic usage, even more than their valinorian counterparts, though most of it is passive. A surprising amount of people will hear “silvans can communicate with trees” and then never proceed to link it to magic usage. Of course it varies silvan to silvan, but a well trained silvan can actively use magic to protect and defend and lay down wards. Their link with the world around them through trees also allows them to boost their own magic when they need it. It’s because of this especially why silvans do not like being underground. Thranduil and Legolas are actually rather adept magic users, though they don’t show it off.

There’s also a type of elf that cannot use magic at all. These are the Fawneli elves. They are considered the strongest elves in the world, to the point they can pick up boulders the size of a palace and toss them about without breaking a sweat. They’re fast and their hardy. They are also referred to as “mini-giants” because it is as if someone took a giant and shrunk them, but kept all their strength in tact. However, in return for this strength, they are unable to use even the slightest bit of magic and are completely cut off from it. The Fawneli are mostly desert elves, and nomads. They don’t have a governing body and sadly most of them were hunted down and enslaved, which was made easier due to their vulnerability to magic of all kinds. There’s only a few dozen left in the world by the end of the third age.

If silvans were magic positive, and the Fawneli were magic neutral, than the Okreans are magic negative. Not only are they capable of seeing through any magic disguise of anyone, including maia and vala, but they are also mostly immune to any and all magic thrown at them. Whenever they are around, magic actively deteriorates. As a result, they are elves of science. And, as a result, the Valar do not like the Okreans as they see them as a threat bc of this immunity. Because the Vala saw them as a threat, they massacred the Okreans, with Tulkas and Orome themselves coming down to kill off these elves, during the second age. Only 8 Okreans surivied, including Kleoyia (though she was only 8 at the time), and they were cursed by the vala to live in agony untill they either killed themselves, or lost themselves to madness.

The Atric Elves share their magic with the forms of beasts. Individually, they cannot cast it the way most do, but rather they obtain the form of animals with their magic and get power through that. The Atric elves live in the the far north, mostly in the arctic circle, and thus tend to share the forms of arctic animals, whether they be from the land, air, or sea.

Aquatic elves are, as the name describes, elves that live in bodies of water, emphasis on in. Way back at the lake, they decided that the water was much safer than land, and so they took a plunge and never looked back. Aquatic elves are often refered to as mer-folk or sirens. Parts of their body take on shapes of aquatic life, and they come in many shapes and sizes. They have abit of a rivalry with the Atric elves, specifically the Atric elves that shape-shift into aquatic animal forms, as they compete for food. The silvans, however, they have a good trade relationship with. The Aquatic elves will provide silvans with good seafood, and in turn the silvans will give them a lot of land meat and vegetables the Aquatic elves can’t reach.

Sucian elves are probably the most common of Avari elves. They are also referred to as spiritual elves. Their magic mostly comes from their own power, and many will use tools in order to aid themselves. There are two major Sucian elf empires: the Bali’tsa empire and the Qitian empire. What is unique about the Sucian elves is that they can pass on their power to others, though it is extremely difficult. It is also the most diverse of the magic types, and tends to be more unique to each family.

Lastly you have the Agpetian elves, who get their power assigned to them, assumably by Eru himself. As far as i’m aware there’s no rhyme or reason as to why they get the magic they get, but when a child becomes 100 days old, their magic will display itself. As a result, they tend to be a little more…. Religious? Than other avari, though they do not worship or care for the valar at all.

Miriel: No, just in deep cover.

Thranduil: ...your body was laying out in the open.

Miriel: It was very deep.

Thranduil:

Thranduil: how long did it take you to annoy Mandos into releasing you.
