You ever start reading a long text post that you originally think is about a real life situation but then it just gets weirder and weirder and it takes you an embarrassingly long time to realize it's actually about an anime character or something

Anyway I hope tumblr never changes

Time to make my Adar chainmail look real old and shitty and falling apart

[hellofeanor]

Makar and Measse

Okay Silm fandom I need some lore help (because my memory sucks lol). Who were the two Valar of war and battle that Tolkien never ended up using their names? For the love of everything I can’t remember their names 😭

I love the women on The Rings of Power <3

Just to mention a few <3

All of this, and also, since when do we let popular fanon interpretation or even actual show canon dictate what anybody ships?

You want to ship Galadriel with Elrond? Great. You want to ship Galadriel with Sauron? Great. You want to ship Galadriel with Celeborn? Great. You want to ship Galadriel with Bronwyn, Nori, Isildur and your OC who's Disa's cousin? Great. You don't want any Galadriel ships and just want to think about her character development? Great.

It's all made up and nothing matters. Do what you want. Ignore the things you don't like. This is all just for fun.

Call me biased, salty, and hateful, but to me, both celedriel and celrond are already damaged beyond any repair in ROP.

Two seasons in, and we haven’t had a single moment with either ship yet the creators have put so much effort into making the audience ship Galadriel with her enemy and Elrond with his mother-in-law. And I see no justifiable reason to change the source material in that way, nor to delay introducing Celebrian and Celeborn as characters, even outside of their connection to their spouses.

Maybe, in a better universe, things would be different.

I did up a choral arrangement of Golden Leaves for normal reasons, but the fake choir aah voice in my sheet music program sounds like butts. So I changed the track instrumentation to the somewhat less heinous flute and cello and... the quality is still pretty MIDI-adjacent, but I actually really like this.

[hellofeanor]

My main purpose in going to the semi-local anime con is to test run new costumes before dragoncon to see how they wear and what adjustments I need to make. This time, it's primarily a test run of Adar's wig and makeup, which went well despite me forgetting at least three crucial products (including my contour palette and full coverage powder) at home. So the colour isn't right, but the overall concept works, and I can be less of a dumbass about packing for dcon in two weeks.

Also, the chainmail miraculously ISN'T killing my shoulders, despite being steel and weighing approximately ten pounds. There are a few things I need to fix on it and add the shoulder bits, but it's wearable for multiple hours.

“hes a woman to me” IS HE? or are you equating women with submissive character traits you've arbitrarily put on a random man

The soul-crushing disappointment when one of your beloved mutuals gets into some new media you absolutely hate

Things currently in progress.

Major pieces purchased from the awesome @teadrunktailor. We're luckily very close to the same size so I only have to do minor alterations to fit on the armour. I'm adding on the chainmail shirt and wig (two things I need to finish for the next con in a couple weeks), belt, and pants. Then need to make some janky greaves and we should be good to go. Belt will be left inaccurate as-is for now (it's actually borrowed from Feanor), but potentially upgraded later on when I have more time.

Ask game: 🤍

I'm gonna go Silmarillion with this one and say a character who's not as morally bad as everyone seems to think is Thingol. Dude gets unfairly slotted into a pseudo-villain role way too often for (checks notes) asserting his power as the rightful King of Beleriand. It's like people take all the moral failings of the Feanorians and project them onto Thingol. I'm calling bullshit on that.

[hellofeanor]

💀 for Rings of Power... but specifically a character that doesn't die in the source material.

If I'm choosing a major character to die, sorry Arondir, you're out of here. Your storyline was great in S1, but now that Bronwyn and Adar are gone, it's run its course. You deserve a cool, heroic death though.

[hellofeanor]

For the ask game! (I'm assuming this is for RoP?) 💚💜

Lol I was surprised you didn't ask the book question about Tolkien in general, but then I realised you already know the answer to that.

💚 What do people get wrong about my favorite character? Ugh now I have to figure out who my favorite character is. THANKS. I guess I'll say that a lot of people seem to think that Adar is some kind of suave sex god? Which, okay, I get how that might come up with his full scale characterisation shift in S2 but let's be real. That guy hasn't voluntarily done so much as take his shirt off since the First Age.

💜 A character who is much hotter than people seem to think is Pharazôn. No I will not elaborate. This is just a fact. You know I'm right.
