Guys.. Good Luck Babe but Mairon version…

Like him going betraying Celebrimbor, telling himself that there is no one but his Master in his life.

His mind focused on his goal of world domination, but his heart can’t forget the elf. And when he is ultimately defeated and forced to forever walk the earth as a incorporeal spirit, he can’t help but yearn for the kind of love and completion that he once was offered, that could have been his if he hadn’t yet again turned his back on redemption for his bond to a creature so committed to his desire for Arda that there could never return the love that was offered to him.

To Morgoth he was a tool for desire, something that’s hard to loose but not worth saving.

To Celebrimbor he was a person. Full of passion and opportunity. But instead of letting himself be saved he ran after the one thing that could never be his.

Anyways I just love the idea of Sauron lying awake at night and crying over his bad choices while listening to Chappell Roan (also where is my matching edit please and thank you?)

WHY DID NONE OF YOU TELL ME THAT THERE EXISTS A METAL RETELLING OF THE SILMARILLION OUT THERE????

THIS IS BETTER THAN ANY FANFICTION I'VE EVER READ. THIS IS RELIGION!

Screw the Noldolantë from now on there will only be 'Nightfall in Middle Earth' by Blind Guardian for me!

Because this fandom loves being miserable I'm using this opportunity to remind you all about the fact that Maglor wasn't present during Maedhros' death and probably didn't knew about it for quite some time...

Like just imagine him searching for his brother in the wilds, cause they've kind of lost each other after they reclaimed the Silmarils.

Him thinking that maybe, just maybe, now that the Silmarils are gone they can finally find peace.

Him passing through a small town just to get some supplies and then overhearing the whispers that tell of the once great Lord of Himring that found his end by casting himself in the fire.

Him having his last tiny bit of hope shattered in the middle of a market place in a crowd full of people and yet finally utterly alone...

Fight me on this, but “No Surrender” by Bruce Springsteen is the most Feanorian coded song I’ve ever heard. Like I know that it’s technically about growing old and stuff, but tell me that

“Well, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember

No retreat, baby, no surrender”

and

“There's a war outside still raging

You say it ain't ours anymore to win”

aren’t the most Feanorian coded lyrics you’ve ever encountered!

And that isn’t even all there is of it!!! I could write an entire essay on how the song just perfectly captures the sons of Feanor (especially Maglor and maybe Maedhros in the days before the war of wrath, when everything just seemed lost).

The Silmarils ARE Feanor. Or rather Feanor IS the Silmarils.

But what if Feanor actually put his fucking soul (his fea) into the Silmarils?

Because it would explain EVERYTHING!

The Silmarils are described as having an "inner fire" that "is it's life", probably referring to the Flame Imperishable that all of Iluvatar's children are made from. Light/Fire is the domain of Iluvatar that none of the valar ever reigned over (Balrogs are spirits that clad themselves in the flame that makes up there core, but even in this case the flame was given by Iluvatar and not created by a Vala). But how did simple gems ever get a life source like that?

The only logical explanation to me would be that Feanor realised that he could create his own fire of life and therefore literally gave up a part of his own fire to grand his greatest creations a sort of life source.

We've read about someone putting their "power", as it is phrased is that case, into a creation one time before (obviously that is Sauron with his One Ring, that also seems to have a kind of life of its own), so Feanor doing basically the same wouldn't be that far off.

Feanor going mad at the loss of his Silmarils and him being unwilling to give them away to the Vala wouldn't be out of pure spite, but rather out of fear of literally loosing his soul. He's going mad, because a part of himself got taken away from him.

And we all know what happened to Sauron after the destruction of the ring. Breaking the Silmarills could literally break his own spirit.

That way Melkor's longing for the Silmarils parallels his desire to possess the flame at the centre of Adar.

It would also explain why Yavanna couldn't recreate the trees again, for she also already had to give up a part of her soul before to create them and doing so again would be to much, even for a powerful Vala like her.

No idea if this makes any sense or if I'm just interpreting wayyy to much into the revelation that I had at 1 am, when I could be sleeping, or if I'm just realised something that was incredibly obvious to everyone else, but I just wanted to share my overachieving headcanons with anyone who's interested I guees
