hi! anon of the Visages/Renoir analogue question.

firstly, yes those were the two I was thinking about.

secondly, I am actually just as unsure as you are about it. I kinda think there's solid evidence for either read, and now I am also really curious if the Hauler had an analogue in it or not and what either that might say about the Dessendre's. it's difficult to try to piece together the out of Canvas family dynamics b/c it's pretty much entirely told to us through implication, unreliable narration and the twisted lens that is the aftermath of the worst day of their lives and the absolute wreckage it made of them.

I suppose it's possible that that's the reason Visages doesn't have a helper: Verso's dead. Renoir can't be there for him anymore in any way, shape or form b/c Verso's not here. Renoir can't help him, Renoir can't be with him, and even in this painted parable, he can't imagine himself in any sort of support role with respect to Verso b/c he can't escape the belief that he wasn't there at the moment when Verso really, truly needed him the most and wow, I just made myself really sad.

kinda ended this on a depressing note, but I hope it gives you more to chew on! love to hear your thoughts on it

yay, you're back!

And you made me sad, too :(

But also, you made me very excited to rant about the Dessendres for a while.

I think you're onto something with Renoir and his missing analogue in Visages. The Fading Man repeats twice that "I would have traded my years for his." He'd have given anything, done anything, to keep his son alive, and yet he couldn't help him. And he says that Verso "paid the price for our hubris." That whole conversation is drenched in guilt: that Renoir (and more importantly Aline and the Painters' Council, I assume) first provoked the Writers and then failed to protect Verso from them. Couldn't even be there to die in his place.

I so agree about the Dessendres, as well. Each of them is so individually complex! How can we really deduce anything about Renoir unless we understand his artistic philosophy and what that suggests about the clues he leaves behind in the Canvas... but how can we understand his artistic philosophy without first knowing something about the man? And then, as you say, we're looking at the shattered wreckage of the family and trying to extrapolate back into normality.

But the family dynamics. I'm fascinated. I don't hang out in the tags very much at the moment so I might be mischaracterising the Discourse, but my sense is there's some consensus the Dessendres were an incredibly close, loving family. There's lots of evidence for that, all over the game and the soundtrack.

But I don't know. I like the idea that the family was struggling a bit. That there was a lot of love, but also fractures. Partly just because that satisfies my own particular taste for angst: I think losing a deeply loved person at a moment when the relationship is damaged is uniquely tragic. To be cheated out of the opportunity to reconcile and always wonder if they even knew you still loved them. Awful. And if that was the case, it only increases Renoir's desperation to save Aline's life, because they've been fighting for decades in this Canvas. What if she, too, slips away before he can save her? Before he can make things right between them?

But I do think there's some actual textual (or at least subtextual) support for some very complicated family dynamics, though. I haven't nailed down a Unified Theory of the Dessendre Family, but here's some speculation about the possible fault lines and what evidence there might be for them.

Artistic sensibilities

We know for a fact there's conflict between the Writers and the Painters. And I've really latched on to the idea that, in a world where artists can literally create and destroy worlds through their art, one's preferred art form becomes really salient to one's identity, politics, and spiritual/philosophical beliefs. I've yammered on at length about Verso's musicianship as it relates to his personality and his relationship with Renoir, but I'm toying with the idea that this extends to the rest of the family, too.

The manor is full of instruments, books, and sculptures, not just paintings. And these are scattered through the house; Alicia's isn't the only large collection of books, Verso's isn't the only room with an instrument. It's pretty clear the Dessendre family appreciated other forms of art than painting, and probably all of them practiced other arts. But we know Verso's greatest passion was music, Alicia's literature. I think we can infer some preferences for the rest of the family and speculate from there.

Both Aline's tremendous skill and her former leadership of the Painters' political organisation suggest she devoted herself primarily to painting. I can't think of any particular evidence, but I suspect Renoir's primarily a painter, too. I think his love of Aline and their shared creative work are all bound up together. He and Aline are a unit, and that unit paints.

That leaves Clea, the only Paintress skilled enough to paint over somebody else's creation. But we know she also sculpts, and I can't remember if it's canon, fanon, or somebody's headcanon but somewhere along the line I've become convinced that sculpting is her preferred mode. (Maybe I got that idea from this post, which doesn't actually claim its her favourite, by @linka-from-captain-planet who has pretty much singlehandedly shaped my thinking about Clea).

So to wildly speculate! I'd draw a loose fracture line down the middle of the family with Verso and Alicia on one side, Renoir, Aline and Clea on the other. Literature isn't a performance, which I think is an important difference between music and painting when it comes to Verso and Renoir's relationship. But it is, like music and theatre, an unfolding narrative that you experience over time in a manner determined by the artist. The writer guides you through a story, concealing and revealing information as they choose. And at the end of the story, some part of the storyworld has changed. By contrast, painting—and sculpture—capture images, moments, static representations of beauty that you can gaze at however you like.

I've combed through my likes looking for this post and can't find it, so apologies to whoever I'm stealing this idea from: somebody speculated that while the Painters create worlds, the Writers' powers might have more to do with manifesting events within their own worlds. I'm not sure I have a strong opinion on what the Writers' special powers actually look like, but I do like the idea that these sorts of differences in the experience of creating and consuming art have very fundamental implications for how the different artistic factions see the world and each other. And how the individual Dessendres do.

Of course, there's plenty of arguments against this reading or for a version of this reading that puts the fault line somewhere else. Clea potentially throws a fairly large wrench in the works, but that's another post.

Aline and Renoir

Love affair for the ages, absolutely. But the Fading Man on Sirène's island makes me think perhaps there was something happening before Verso's loss. He wonders

"What I missed… that might have changed things. What is it that I didn't see? That I couldn't make myself see? ... When did she start pulling away…"

This might just mean he regrets not seeing how much Aline was drowning in her grief, but unless several months or more passed between Verso's death and Aline's retreat to the canvas, it sounds more to me like regret for a gradual pulling away without a clear inciting incident.

(I think he has to be talking about Aline, here, given the location. But maybe "she" is Alicia? And he regrets not seeing a change in Alicia, a drift towards the Writers that would set the stage for the catastrophe that befell the family. I don't think this is the case, but everything in this game is so ambiguous, it's such a fun sandbox to play in.)

Parents and Children

Painted Verso and Maelle quibble a little during the Reacher over whether Clea or Alicia was Renoir's favourite; Verso's name isn't even thrown in the ring.

So did Renoir have a favourite? I think perhaps he was closest to Clea, if only because she was the most like him and she loved to challenge him (thank you @athenas-only-daughter for assembling the Clea post from which I'm stealing this point!). But maybe challenge is something he loved about Verso, too: that in spite of their different ideas and difficulties understanding one another, Verso presented him with new ideas, new understandings of art, new ways of being.

But then again, Renoir's analogue is hard at work building Alicia's wings; there's no Renoir analogue with Verso's axon and we don't know about Clea's, before its death. I tend to think Renoir didn’t have a favourite, but you could make the case for any of them.

I think Aline did have a favourite. And it definitely wasn't Alicia.

Because what the fuck, Aline.

When we meet Aline in the monolith, she believes (or is trying to convince herself) that Maelle is not Alicia but a painted version made by Renoir. But even if she believes Alicia is safe at home, it's wild to me that she was able to watch someone who looks just like her daughter suffer in a fire, just as her daughter had, by her own hand. Presumably, she was willing to watch that someone die in that fire, because she makes no move to douse it until painted Verso puts himself at risk of the flames.

Yes, painted Verso is now the only Verso; maybe that matters here (not to me!). But she knows he's painted and she knows he's immortal. And while she'll watch Maelle suffer and die, she can't bear to relive Verso's death.

I'm not arguing that Aline is evil or a terrible mother. I think it's quite possible that her anger at Alicia is to some degree justified; we have no idea of the details of Verso's death. Even so, Aline's journal entry suggests that she knows its unfair to blame Alicia for Verso's death; maybe part of her motivation for clinging to the Canvas is that she doesn't want Alicia to have to live with a mother who cannot forgive her. @obibail posits in this post that Painters would have to develop some mental distance from their creations, and so perhaps Aline, despite living for some time with the humans she created in this world, skews more towards Clea on the question of their personhood. Perhaps all the humans of the canvas, even painted Verso, are just shadows to her, a poor facsimile of her real life, only worth enduring because even a poor facsimile of Verso is worth having.

I don't know. I'm the sort of person who cannot make the evil or mean choice in video games because I can't bear to hurt the little pixel people's feelings. I find it difficult to understand, even given that paragraph of justification, Aline's indifference to Maelle's pain or that she gave her own painted Alicia the scarred face or damaged throat. The only way it makes any emotional sense to me is if Verso was her favourite and something was already wrong in her relationship with Alicia.

(Sidebar: Just proofreading this and then definitely hitting post before my dogs spontaneously combust because I've been ignoring them so long. But I went back to check the Fading Man dialogue for the paragraph way up top about Visages. I hadn't quite twigged until now that, at least from Renoir's perspective, the Painters either started or renewed the conflict with the Writers. Another datapoint RE Aline placing sooo much blame on Alicia but I realllllly have to wrap up!

Perfection

There something here that means something about the family, but I'm not sure what. The word perfection is constantly coming up: Clea seeks perfection, Renoir counsels her against it, Verso fails to achieve it, but Clea is perhaps, still jealous of him? Perfection is Painted Verso's battle mechanic; Maelle's fighting style is precise and graceful—perfect. Can art be perfect? Should it be perfect, or is there beauty in imperfection?

Whew. I don't know.

OP, it's been four hours since I sat down to answer you and I am forcing myself to stop here. I've cut paragraphs upon paragraphs of tangents, started a couple of drafts and added points to a few more that have been languishing a while.

Which is to say, thank you so much. Both of your asks have given me tons to chew on AND gotten me to sit down and do the writing part, without which my thoughts are an incoherent jumble. Come chat about this game anytime!

(Edit, fifteen minutes later, remembering to FINISH the proofread I began: added some transition sentences, fixed a couple typos.)

steddyhands modern au inspired by this post:

(1828 words, themes of kink but nothing explicit, established blackhands & gentlebeard-centric. Happy Pride!)

Stede picks up leatherworking in the wake of his divorce. He's not exactly sure how it ended up being such an important hobby for him, only that he had always admired the intricate designs on his horse's best bridles, and with little else to do with his time, he decides to give it a go.

It's rocky going at first, but he's having fun working with his hands for the first time in his life, and there's a sense of satisfaction in seeing the design come to life as he works. With practice, his skills improve, and he learns how to make things that are truly one of a kind.

He starts off posting his pieces online, as a way to reach fellow enthusiasts, but quickly finds himself with a rather large audience. Stede’s style is unique, and, after many requests from his followers, Lucius encourages him to make some more basic pieces he can sell. It's not about making money for Stede, but another way to meet new people who share his interests- as Lucius keeps telling him, it's sad that his personal assistant is the main person he talks to these days. 

So Stede sets out on a new adventure, and has quite the time designing a new range of patterns for the market. He makes purses, belts, bracelets, and, most importantly, dog collars- all still with his unique designs embossed into them, of course. He rents a booth at his towns monthly craft fair, and very quickly finds himself with a new group of friends in the other regulars- Pete, his usual neighbour, who sells an array of wooden figures he carves, Roach, who runs a stand for his bakery, and Frenchie, who isn't actually a stallholder, but is almost always busking near his friend Wee John’s stand of knitted goods, bringing life to the market even in the pouring rain. There's also Buttons, another regular at the market. Nobody is exactly sure what he does there- he doesn't sell things, or seem to buy anything either, but rain or shine, he's there with the birds.

Stede’s been doing this a few months by the time June rolls around. As he's setting up his stand, he notices that the area is much busier than it’d normally be at this time of morning. Lucius, who got roped into helping run Stede’s stall somewhere down the line (despite his protests that this is not what personal assistant means… But hey, he got a boyfriend out of it, at least), reminds him that there's the parade today, too- not realising that Stede had no clue there was a parade today, and especially not that it was pride. Stede immediately jumps to fretting about the amount of stock he’s brought, and Lucius takes the cue to escape, saying he’ll go and grab them coffee (but really, he's off to flirt with Pete)

Lucius is still missing when Ed stumbles across the little leather stall. Stede’s just ran back to his car to fetch his last boxes of inventory, and by the time he returns, Ed’s already begun to narrow down his choices. Stede greets him, starting to tell him that they're not actually open yet, but before he gets more than a couple of words out, Ed’s exclaiming “You're a Kiwi!!!”

The two of them smile at the shared recognition, and Stede says he’ll make an exception, just for Ed, and asks him what exactly he was interested in. Ed tells him that he's looking for a collar “for his boy”, and points out the particular design he was looking at. It happens to be one of Stede’s favourites from this latest run of work, a fact he mentions to Ed. It leads them into a discussion about Stede’s craft, and Ed’s Izzy, and then everything in between. Ed’s listening intently to the things Stede’s telling him, completely drawn in by the process, and by Stede himself. He watches as Stede stamps Izzy's name into the collar, and Stede even lets him have a go at one of the stamps. 

Lucius reappears sometime in the middle of this- only to immediately retreat again, seeing Stede engrossed with Ed. He sets up camp at Pete's booth opposite, watching this man flirt intensely with his boss- and Stede flirt back just as hard. Does Stede even realise he’s doing it? Lucius had known Stede was gay since before Stede even admitted it to himself, but this is on a whole other level.

The pair stand there so long that Izzy comes to look for Ed- the two of them are manning a float on the parade with their crew, and it's past time for them to get geared up. He's already worked up, frustrated to have been left to set up everything alone, when Ed had just gone to see if he could get them both coffee. So maybe he's a bit of a prick, approaching with a brash “where the fuck have you been, Edward”, to which Stede brings the same energy, giving a bitchy “Ed! Do you know this guy?” Izzy tenses, ready to snap, but then Ed cuts in, excitedly telling Stede that this is “his Izzy!” Which confuses the hell out of Stede. 

Forgetting his earlier attitude, he asks Ed if he “really named his dog after his friend”, only to be met with confusion right back from Ed at where the hell Stede got the idea he had a dog from. Stede gestures at the bag with the collar in it, to which Ed has to tell him, “oh, no, that's for him.” Ed tells Stede that they're here to run a float for their local leather society, and while Stede is certainly shocked by what Ed’s saying, he's not finding himself… uninterested. It's simply that he’s never even considered any of this before, especially not that people would use the things that he made for this, but Ed sounds so enthusiastic about it all. He tells him about how his friends would love to see Stede’s work, about how classic leather gear is always so fucking boring- but not Stede’s stuff, no, Stede’s stuff is “fresh” and “fascinating” and unlike anything Ed’s ever seen before. 

Ed's enthusiasm is incredibly infectious, so when he invites Stede to come back to see their float, he readily agrees. It’s a concept Izzy’s less than enthusiastic about. He doesn��t really want to bring this man who’s dressed like he just walked out of a HOA board meeting to their kinky little corner of the world, but he is having a lot of fun watching Stede squirm, so decides not to raise a protest. He does demand he gets his long-overdue coffee first, though (Stede pays for it- as “compensation for him distracting Ed from his job”, he says, not giving Izzy a second to process before he's tapping his card)

By the time they return to the float, Fang, Ivan & Jim are waiting for them, all already geared up. Stede is stunned silent at the sight for about 5 seconds, before he starts actually looking at the quality of Jim’s harness, and proceeds to go off about the poor quality of the craftsmanship, about how the hardware is tacky and completely the wrong choice with this leather, how his “ten year old daughter could do a better job!!!” 

There's complete silence from the group, until Izzy, of all people, bursts into laughter at Stede’s audacity (and, the fact he was staring at Jim's tits completely unabashedly, like he hadn't even noticed them in the first place). Izzy's laughter sets Ed off as he tells the group about Stede’s misunderstanding- “you didn't say he was a person!” “I mean, he's my dog”- and soon everyone's having a friendly giggle at Stede’s mistake.

It's somewhere in the middle of the retelling that Ed remembers that this whole thing happened because he was buying Izzy a gift. After a moments fumbling, he presents Izzy with the collar-  It's a rich, deep black, embossed with a rolling pattern that resembles waves. It’s made from a firm enough leather to take the tooling, and to remind Izzy that he’s owned while he’s wearing it, yet still soft enough for long term comfort. Izzy's eyes immediately lock on to it, an unreadable expression coming over his face, and Ed turns it; first so he can really see the design and Izzy’s name embossed into it, and then so he can see the small “Ed ♥” on the inside of the collar, right over his swallow tattoo. 

“I did the heart,” Ed says to him softly, intended only for Izzy’s ears. Izzy's eyes flick up to Ed’s, and he raises his chin to give Ed the room to put it on. Ed buckles the collar around his neck almost reverently, a test of the tightness turning into a caress of Izzy's neck. It's a perfect fit.

It's as though something comes over Izzy; so twitchy and abrasive earlier, now silent, staring at Ed with a look akin to worship in his eyes. He obediently tilts his head for a kiss as Ed's fingers move to his chin- It's a sight to behold, and one that has Stede intrigued. He wants to know more about this lifestyle, and these men in particular. He wants to be the one to put that expression on Izzy's face.

The moment breaks as Ed and Izzy pull apart, and Ed calls for the crew to finish the last bits of set up. Izzy shakes himself a little before running off to bark orders again, but even still, there remains a softness to him that wasn't there before. 

Ed turns back to Stede with an apologetic smile, already obvious that he has to get going. Before he can speak, however, Stede jumps in -“My business numbers on the card in the box… I'll be around all day”- Ed’s smile turns more genuine at that, promising to stop by if he gets a moment, and that he’ll send his friend's Stede’s way- “if he wants that kind of business.” Stede says that he does, actually- that he's seen a whole new world already today, and, while he was a little taken aback at first, he can feel the passion Ed and his friends have for this life. If there's one thing that's ever mattered to Stede, it's other people's enthusiasm. Maybe he doesn't completely understand yet, but he would like to try.

One year later, Stede’s back at the market on pride weekend again, far better stocked for the crowds this time around. Lucius is finally free to spend the day flirting with Fang & Pete to his heart's content, now that Stede’s roped his own boyfriends into helping him run the stall- and into modelling the merchandise. Ed loves that part, while Izzy needs a lot more convincing, but the puppy eyes Stede & Ed weaponise against him make a very good argument.

Unleashing the Power of SEO: Your Roadmap to Explosive Organic Traffic

Forget paid advertisements that vanish the moment your budget dries up. SEO is about building a sustainable foundation for long-term growth. It's the art and science of optimizing your website to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs) like Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo for relevant primary keywords and related secondary keywords. Think of it as making your website irresistible to search engines, so they naturally present it to users actively searching for what you offer.   

Why Organic Traffic Reigns Supreme

Organic traffic, unlike paid traffic, comes from users who have actively searched for information related to your business. This inherent intent makes them highly qualified leads with a greater potential for conversion. Imagine someone searching for "best sustainable coffee beans" – if you're a coffee roaster specializing in ethically sourced beans and your website ranks for this primary keyword, you're connecting with someone already interested in your niche.

Furthermore, the trust associated with organic results is significant. Users tend to perceive websites ranking organically as more credible and authoritative than paid advertisements. Consistent visibility in organic search results builds brand trust and recognition over time.

The Pillars of a Robust SEO Strategy

So, how do you harness the power of SEO to drive this valuable organic traffic? It boils down to a multi-faceted approach encompassing several key areas:

Keyword Research: The Foundation: Every successful SEO strategy begins with understanding what your target audience is searching for. This involves identifying relevant primary keywords – the core terms directly related to your products or services (e.g., "online yoga classes," "custom leather wallets") – and secondary keywords – longer-tail phrases and related terms that capture more specific user intent (e.g., "beginner yoga classes online for stress relief," "handmade personalized leather wallets for men"). Tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, and Ahrefs can help you uncover these valuable terms and analyze their search volume and competition.

On-Page Optimization(Making Your Website Search-Engine Friendly): This involves optimizing the elements within your website to align with your target keywords. This includes:

Compelling Title Tags and Meta Descriptions: These snippets appear in search results and act as your website's headline and brief description. Incorporating relevant primary keywords and enticing language encourages clicks.

Strategic Header Tags (H1-H6): Using header tags to structure your content logically and include relevant keywords helps search engines understand the hierarchy and importance of your text. For instance, an H1 might be "The Benefits of Using Organic Skincare," with H2s detailing specific benefits and incorporating secondary keywords like "natural anti-aging skincare products."

High-Quality, Keyword-Rich Content: Creating valuable, informative, and engaging content that naturally incorporates your target keywords is crucial. Focus on answering user queries and providing in-depth information around your primary keywords and related secondary keywords.

Image Optimization: Optimizing image file names and alt text with relevant keywords helps search engines understand the visual content on your page.

Internal Linking: Strategically linking relevant pages within your website helps distribute link equity and improves site navigation for both users and search engines.

Off-Page Optimization: Building Authority and Trust: This involves activities done outside your website to build its authority and reputation in the eyes of search engines. This primarily revolves around:

Earning High-Quality Backlinks: When other reputable websites link back to yours, it signals to search engines that your content is valuable and trustworthy. Focus on earning backlinks naturally through creating excellent content and outreach.   

Building Brand Mentions: Even without direct links, mentions of your brand name on other websites can contribute to your online authority.

Social Media Engagement: While not a direct ranking factor, active and engaging social media presence can indirectly contribute to organic traffic by increasing brand visibility and driving referral traffic.

Technical SEO: Ensuring a Smooth User and Crawler Experience: This focuses on the technical aspects of your website that can impact its crawlability and indexability by search engines. This includes:

Website Speed and Mobile-Friendliness: Search engines prioritize websites that load quickly and are easily accessible on all devices.

Site Architecture and Navigation: A clear and logical website structure helps search engines crawl and understand your content effectively.

XML Sitemaps: These files provide search engines with a roadmap of all the important pages on your website.

Robots.txt: This file tells search engine crawlers which pages they should and shouldn't access.

Schema Markup: Implementing structured data markup helps search engines understand the context of your content and can lead to rich snippets in search results, improving click-through rates.   

The Long-Term Rewards of SEO

Investing in SEO is not a quick fix, but rather a strategic long-term investment. By consistently optimizing your website for relevant primary keywords and exploring opportunities with secondary keywords, you can build a sustainable stream of organic traffic, attract highly qualified leads, enhance your brand credibility, and ultimately drive business growth.

So, take the first step today. Understand your audience, identify your key primary keywords and related secondary keywords, optimize your website, and embark on the journey of unlocking the immense potential of organic traffic. Your digital store front awaits its influx of eager visitors.

How on page SEO work?

On-page SEO (Search Engine Optimization) involves optimizing various elements on a webpage to improve its visibility in search engine results and provide a better user experience. It focuses on both the content and the HTML source code of a page. Here's how on-page SEO works:

Keyword Research: Identify relevant keywords that users might use to find your content. Use tools to analyze search volume, competition, and user intent.

Page Title (Title Tag): Craft a unique and descriptive title for your page that includes your target keyword. The title appears in search results and browser tabs.

Meta Description: Write a concise and informative meta description that summarizes the page's content and encourages users to click through from search results.

Heading Tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.): Use heading tags to structure your content hierarchically. The H1 tag typically represents the main topic, while H2 and H3 tags organize subtopics.

Keyword Placement: Incorporate your target keyword naturally in the content, including the introduction, subheadings, and body. Avoid keyword stuffing.

Content Quality and Relevance: Create valuable, relevant, and engaging content that addresses the user's query and provides useful information.

Internal Linking: Include internal links to relevant pages within your website. This helps users navigate and improves website structure.

URL Structure: Create short, descriptive, and user-friendly URLs that include the target keyword. Avoid complex and lengthy URLs.

Image Optimization: Optimize images by using descriptive filenames and adding alt text that describes the image's content.

Mobile-Friendly Design: Ensure your webpage is responsive and functions well on mobile devices. Mobile-friendliness is important for user experience and SEO.

Page Loading Speed: Optimize your page's loading speed by compressing images, using browser caching, and optimizing code.

Schema Markup: Implement structured data (schema markup) to provide additional context to search engines, potentially leading to enhanced search results.

Engaging User Experience: Aim for a user-friendly design with clear navigation, readable fonts, and a clean layout.

SSL/HTTPS: Secure your website with an SSL certificate to ensure secure data transmission and gain a slight ranking boost.

Canonical Tags: Use canonical tags to indicate the preferred version of a page when there are duplicate or similar content issues.

Monitoring and Optimization: Regularly monitor your page's performance in search results, track user behavior, and make adjustments based on data and trends.

On-page SEO helps search engines understand the content and context of your webpage, making it more likely to rank higher for relevant search queries.

#fair!!#i should really try to adjust my height headcanons #i decline to adjust my attractiveness headcanons bc fundamentally i don't think it's the straight-up beauty of his face that gets you #but rather the passion of his spirit and the /effort/ he'll put into looking beautiful #this guy looked at his mothername and was like 'alright i'll lean in' and then led noldorin fashion while the trees shone #he gave that up pretty much utterly after angband #but then he was so very hot in kinslayer badboy/competent military commander way #that like...damn (via tanoraqui)

Height:

Thingol in the Silmarillion: "for fair and noble as he had been, now he appeared as it were a lord of the Maiar, his hair as grey silver, tallest of all the Children of Ilúvatar."

Turgon in Of Tuor and His Coming to Gondolin: "Now Turgon himself would appear, 'tallest of all the Children of the World, save Thingol.'"

Argon in the Shibboleth of Feanor: "Arakáno was the tallest of the brothers and the most impetuous."

Maedhros. Just given the epithet 'The Tall' like many other characters. Not 'The Tallest'. and yet I see people constantly making him taller than Turgon; even if he's not a listed character in a fic, I must endure mentions about how he's taller than everyone else. Truly, a burden for me personally.

Beauty:

Lúthien in the Silmarillion: "And of the love of Thingol and Melian there came into the world the fairest of all the Children of Ilúvatar that was or shall ever be."

Feanor in the Silmarillion: "Feanor was made the mightiest in all parts of body and mind, in valour, in endurance, in beauty..."

Finarfin in the Silmarillion: "Finarfin was the fairest, and the most wise of heart."

Finrod in the Silmarillion: "Finrod Finarfin's son, fairest of all the princes of the Elves.

Galadriel in the Silmarillion: "Galadriel, most beautiful of all the house of Finwe."

Finwe in Morgoth's Ring: "fairest and noblest of the Eldar"

Maedhros. His mom thought he was pretty. HIS MOM. Yet whomst do I see (again, in places where he's really not relevant) being referenced all over the place as the most beautiful elf who ever elfed in all of history? Maedhros.
