#silm ships

[whiteladyofithilien]

I think my main reason for shipping Caranthir and Haleth is because we need at least one inter-race Tolkien couple where the human is a woman. Like all three canon human-elven pairings it's always the fabulous fae elven beauty and the heroic dude and I'm like... What about a mighty elf-lord and his badass human lady? Hmm? I need this to be a thing and Haleth/Caranthir is the only ship I know of that has that dynamic going for it plus of the middle three sons of Feanor Caranthir is the only one NOT part of the attacks on Luthien... therefore he's the best of those 3

#also i really like to imagine Caranthirs brothers visiting bitching about their failed plot to force Luthien to marry Celegorm #and his lady Haleth absolutely kicking their ass for being such douches #like these two elf-lords FLEE from her fury #meanwhile Caranthir is almost on the floor crying with laughter #like he just watched his bad boy brothers absolutely book it in terror from his human wife #like the capes trailing after them as they run tripping over each other to escape #haleth #caranthir #halanthir #caranleth #i think halanthir sounds better #human elf #jrr tolkien #tolkien #lotr #lord of the rings #silm fandom #silm ships #silmarillion #haleth of the haladin #haledin #halethrim #haldad #middle Earth power couple

what are some good non-inc*stious silmarillion ships? I'm mostly into LOTR and have always had the impression that everyone in the silmarillion is related somehow. nothing against people who're into such ships, but for personal reasons I'd like to avoid them if I ever dive into the silmarillion fandom

Re: this I assume

Hi there! "Good" strongly depends on your personal tastes and preferences, especially when there's such a large variety of characters and ships to choose from, but off the top of my head, here are some Silm ships with no known blood relation between the parties involved:

Beleg/Turin Fëanor/Nerdanel Aegnor/Andreth Ecthelion/Glorfindel Daeron/Maglor Celebrimbor/Annatar Caranthir/Haleth Elenwë/Turgon Idril/Tuor Anairë/Fingolfin Eärwen/Finarfin

There are many more (both canonical and non-canonical), these are just a few I've read and enjoyed (some of them being more popular than others). You might also want to check out various Ainur ships (Angbang being the biggest ship in that category) or more human-focused ships (eg Morwen/Hurin or Morwen/Aerin) if that is more your thing than elves. Or even more elf/human ships (eg Finrod/Beor, Beren/Luthien etc). Or elf/dwarf (eg Celebrimbor/Narvi).

Idk, my brain is mush right now and I can barely think straight, so I'm probably not making a lot of sense and I'm sure I'm forgetting many other great ships, but as you can see, there is a lot to choose from, even for people not comfortable with shipping within the Finwëan family bush :D

#asks #silm ships #silmarillion #I'd suggest just looking around to see what you like #the Silm fandom has many wonderful fic writers and artists and meta writers and other lovely people #you'll most likely be able to find something that appeals to you

Help, I slipped and fell into the Caranthir x Haleth trash can today and I AM IN HELL ABOUT IT.

Tolkien ship asks: Russingon

Hii <3

Ooookay so I just love how after the burning of the ships Maedhros is like "but what about Fingon we can't just leave him🥺🥺🥺"

They both have that "oh yeah, I could kill you but my boyfriend could do it while also looking incredibly hot" dynamic which I love

Fingon rescuing Maedhros??? Do I even have to say how fucking epic and amazing and sweet that entire thing is😍

Telerian harbor, this one just a quick raw concept that I made so that I could grasp the atmosphere of Telerian culture before I create the final illustartion.

If anything, take this post as an opportunity to find like-minded people to yourself and curate your experience!

#WAKE UP BABES NEW RAREPAIR JUST DROPPED #none of you have any idea how many insane headcanons i have about shelob (and sauron in association) #in my head she's the daughter of morgoth and ungoliant—making her half-vala and half-void monster #justifying the ability to take on a more 'humanoid' form instead of a giant spider at will #and so basically sauron falls head over heels for his boss's daughter and her with her father's lieutenant #it's an incredibly intense and toxic relationship that is on and off over the years #rekindling tenfold in the second age when sauron returns to middle-earth and forges the one ring 😳 #tolkien #the silmarillion #silm #lord of the rings #lotr #headcanons #sauron #shelob #sauron x shelob #(what would their ship name be...saurlob? sheron???) #art #my art #merilles

I've been seeing a lot of posts lately talking about how no one comments/reblogs/replies/etc anymore, and, as someone who comments regularly on a lot of fanworks, it sometimes makes me wonder if my efforts are worth anything. Then I remember how much happiness I get from comments on my own work/posts and how much the community of fandom can matter, and I remember the power that can be found in spreading joy instead of disappointment.

So -- to everyone who comments on fanfiction: thank you. You make the writing process worthwhile and so very rewarding. You make people happy every day.

To all the people who reblog art and gifsets and meta and anything else with enthusiastic tags: thank you. You make people smile and promote interesting conversations and make being on Tumblr so much more fun.

To anyone who sends people asks about their works, whether it's unprompted or part of an ask game: thank you. You give people reasons to talk about things they love and feel like a part of a community.

To the people who makes reclists: thank you. You give us more to read while showing the author how much their work is loved and appreciated, benefitting so many people.

To everyone who organizes events and groups and blogs and dedicated to fandom: thank you. You build community and love and excitement so effectively and it's wonderful.

To all the authors and artists who respond to comments and build community: thank you. You make people smile with your work and then again with your response.

To everyone who contributes to fandom and community in all the other beautiful, varied ways that I can't even begin to list: thank you. You are why we're here.

And, finally, to every writer, visual artist, gifmaker, cosplayer, maker of edits, writer of meta, or creator of art in any other form: thank you. Your work is wonderful and you make fandom what it is, regardless of who sees your art or how much response you recieve.

Keep going, everyone. You are a part of something beautiful.

#wren talks #fandom #writing #fanfiction #ao3 #tumblr #writerblr #i get tired of seeing posts like 'things used to be so much better and no one comments anymore' #or 'no one reblogs things on this site these days' #it's such an oversimplification #like. of course people reblog! i reblog!! i am people! so are my mutuals and they also reblog! #LESS interaction doesn't mean NO interaction and saying it does erases the efforts of people who do interact #also this can vary SO much depending on your fandom and ship and how long you've been around and so many other factors #like the commenting culture in the silm fandom is incredibly different from that in the witcher fandom #star trek is closer to witcher but there're a few major differenes #can't speak for other fandoms but i'm sure there are other significant differences #and they also change over time #anyway all this to say that i think encouraging people works way better than complaining #and at its core fandom is an exchange of love #that should be based in positivity #but this got long whoops #hopefully it's vaguely coherent #ok tag rant over now lol

Haleth and Caranthir

Oh, them again

He wishes to be bound to something other than doom and a terrible oath. She must put her people above all else.

It could never be (and that’s why I love it)

Dangerously close to plotting a real Skyrim/Lord of the Rings crossover for after Keeping Count because my secret desire for Leara/Glorfindel has reared its head again

Shhh Don't question it.

#look look now i must explain #the explanation is that leara simply works well with literally every male character I like at least for the most part #anyway #it'd be funny #i wish i could write a leara/astarion fic but i do NOT understand d&d at all alas #I understand lotr/silm on a crazy level so i guess sunshine hero elf it is #this is fine actually #actually what i really need to do is edit and finish my funny Skyrim/hobbit crack fic but that's a ten year old project #no really #I do NOT KNOW i am just having thoughts and i'm sharing them on my blog because it's mine and I can #also i was in the glorfindel/ofc tag on ao3 like five minutes ago and it looks empty and sad #so Leara can fix it #one day there will be more leara ships than there are for hermione granger jk maybe #i should make a list #I am talking out of my hair it is unlikely that i'll ever do anything the fact that keeping count even exists is a bloody miracle #mod post #oc: leara roseblade

Day 4: Caranthir of @feanorianweek

Lordship

Yellow roses = Greed | Alliance

Caranthir has the oath of Feanor tattooed on his arm. I don´t know why he just has. Probably happened a drunk night while he was more filled of spite than usual. He leans more toward the Edain and dwarfish clothes and culture early on, in some situations, and his lack of social filter makes him more likable and trustworthy, to said people, making alliance and trade deals easier between them and himself than most Elvers would find it, not to mention him being good at math and handling, and adding, his wealth. I do think he had at least one wine yard, if that was in his own land or someone else's where he just rented doesn't matter as his wine was sought out and highly priced for its popularity and quality.

Maedhros | Maglor | Celegorm | Curufin | Ambarussa | Nerdanel and Feanor

#celegorm is covered in tattoos i show some of it in my christmas calendar so he was probably a part of the tatttoo #i know a lot of people likes to think of him as cheap looking and unwilling to spend his money i just dont see him as such #im convinced he was one of the riches people when he was alive and probably still long up in the third age #as he was good at investing and knowing when and how to spend his money while still enjoying it plenty #i also likes to think of him as autistic and insanely good at math #yes i do ship him with helath and i think he spoiled her good when he let him like the finest silks furs food and so on #hes my lil guy #i love him so much #tolkien #jrr tolkien #silmarillion #caranthir #carnistir #morifinwe #silm art #digital art #my art #feanorian week #feanorian week 2023 #feanorianweek
