In the country where your cousins live, the head of state of an ethnic minority has been assassinated and his people’s greatest assets stolen or destroyed. They are forced to beg your cousins for help, who refuse, and they fall to fighting and a pyrrhic victory.

They are exiled and seek asylum, coming through political turmoil in two separate and suffering hosts to your country. Do you a) offer them aid and unite against a common threat, or b) bar many entrance to your realm (the only politically stable area), restrict the places they’re allowed to go, and ban their native language?

Thingol wants to make Doriath great again.

#Before you start #the Noldor were NOT in a position of power #Not with the Teleri and not with the sindar #Their political and economic stability had been completely destroyed and they were unaided by their allies #The Vanyar were literally related Indis’ kin #and yet they offered no help #In this light the actions of the Noldor are not presumptuous #They are desperate #not only was there a great case of international theft and a global threat #But the Noldor had legitimate reason for war and no one had legitimate reason to refuse aiding them #Stopped halfway through reading of Beren and Luthien to get this off my chest #Anyway #Alexis rants #silm #silmarillion #the silmarillion #the silm fandom #the silm #silm fandom #tolkien #jrr tolkien #the noldor #doriath #Feanorian apologist #Feanorian propoganda #that should be a tag #Alexis compares Thingol v Noldor to trump v Mexicans unapologetically #Alexis does this without being American and while knowing jackshit about aforementioned shenanigan
