Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes when you fall, you fly.

Theon & Sansa, GAME OF THRONES || Egwene & Perrin, WHEEL OF TIME *quote by Neil Gaiman

[selkiewife]

I watched Wheel of Time because my crush (goddess) Kate Fleetwood is playing Liandrin in it. And also because people were saying that Mat Cauthon reminded them of Theon. First, Kate is BRILLIANT as always. And YES Mat is very Theony! I see it. I enjoy it. Not completely of course- but no one is ever completely Theon with ALL the aspects- nor should they be! Mat is his own character that I am enjoying thinking about on his own. And there are obviously huge differences in their circumstances. But the vibes are there definitely. But as I watched more of it, another character that I ended up connecting with Theon is Egwene. Did anyone else feel the same?? (@alleyskywalker this was in my drafts when I saw your comments on the gifset I reblogged- so maybe you feel this way too??) Also thinking about how in the show, Egwene is allowed to keep her name whereas Theon is not (though I've heard in the books that is different?) I will also be reading the books soon. I want to watch the whole thing again and then I'm going to start reading the series. There are obvious parallels between the torture of Theon and Egwene but I also think their characterizations have similarities as well. I will probably write more about this later when I get my thoughts together. Just wanted to know if any other Theon fans felt the same about these characters?

Wrestling with just what is my concept for Gadwar’s one-shot going to be (Eighth in the Red Band). The choice is to go with Gawar’s POV or to mix it up and incorporate some or all from Galuven’s perspective. And just how much of the backstory to include of these two brothers. Because without meaning to, (honest!) I created the sort of anti-Fëanor character I would have made on purpose. Sort of. Look, Aglar and all the baggage of his backstory is the Red-Hand-Band character to lambaste the village idiot and spawn. Galuven was a mild accident. 

Let’s backtrack to explain.

When I started to formulate the idea behind this series, it was just as an addendum to the “Place Theon Greyjoy and Jeyne Poole into The Silmarillion”, needing a Robb Stark character with a point where I could say “here’s where that Robb Stark character dies and the Theon character wasn’t there”. Werewolf jokes about Finrod linked up with werewolf slander about the Starks, so that’s where Aglar and Consael came from. Edrahil, Heledir, and Ethirdor came from The Leithian Script. At that point I knew I had to complete the set of ten because I almost had a series. I cast my thoughts out to think of other characters with sad or unjust deaths that I could easily translate over to be elves. Bân and Fân from Final Fantasy VII, because I love Zack Fair and his tragedy (and the Silm allowed a new variation on the Reunited Together in the Lifestream Happy Ending). Now I just needed a few more.

I’d finished reading the last book of Wheel of Time some months before and was still bitter over the deaths of some of my favorite couples: Gareth/Siuan and Gawyn/Egwene. Gareth became Arodreth and thus two of my favorite character concepts: second-gen Cuiviénen and pre-Noldor Conquest Sindar. Which left Gawyn. And if you had Gawyn (and Egwene) you needed Galad and Elayne. And Galad as another older brother was a very useful character, especially for Faron (Theon). 

But here’s the funny thing about basing a character on Galadedrid Damodred. His character has a couple lynch-pins that I would want to preserve if even roughly basing a new character off of him.

First of all, his big character trait is that he sees mortality in strict black and white, enough so that he annoys his younger siblings and most who meet him. He is Lawful Good, emphasis on Lawful. It’s why he joins the Whitecloaks, a ‘Knights Templar’-like organization of hypocritical murderous religious bigots and through force of will and being the third-best swordsman in the series ends up transforming them into a useful, heroic(-ish) group by the climax. He’s also the world’s most beautiful man, bar none, which works for an elf. It makes his position as one of the Noldor rebelling against the Valar inexplicable unless he, like for Idril and what is implied for Celebrimbor, was a young child taken along with his parents during the Exile. Then having this very devout, rule-abiding, lawful-good person finding himself a member of morally grey/dubious groups adds a nice, interesting flavor to one of the Exilic Noldor, and works perfectly for one of the citizens of Nargothrond under Orodreth. 

But here’s the second thing about Galad. His younger siblings? They are his half-siblings. His father married the Queen of Andor. They had Galad, then that queen ran off (prophecies were involved; she had to go have the Chosen One, Rand al’Thor). Galad’s father then married the next queen of Andor, a distant cousin. Together, Galad’s father and his new step-mother, Morgase, had a son and daughter- Gawyd and Elayne-  before Galad’s dad tried to overthrow the queen to become king instead of just the prince-consort. Morgase had him killed. Fun times. Here’s the thing, though. All this happened when the children were infants, and Galad thinks of Morgase as his mother. Not step-mother, just mother. He becomes leader of the Whitecloaks because he challenged the previous leader to a duel to the death because of how his step-mother had been treated- he nearly dies to avenge her ‘death’. This is not the only time Galad will do so. Gawyd adores and admires Galad more than he resents him. Galad always thinks of his half siblings as family and never tries to politically challenge them. Gawyn is the glory seeker. Galad isn’t.

And looking at that, I’m left with this antithesis to Fëanor, Indis, and Fingolfin. Galuven is the anti-Fëanor, and I find that hilarious.

 Now just how overt do I make that?
