Anonymous said: I am on the feanorians side of the silmaril debate and do see Dior and elwing as thieves. And I hope you dont see this as an attack i just want to explain my reasoning for the way i see it. But to me at least the stealing of the ships is an entirely seperate thing that happened, I know it happened because the silmarils got stolen in the first place. But it has nothing to do with the Dior and elwing part of the silmaril story. And thats why I dont bring up the stealing of the ships when talking about this

And I feel like Dior and elwing are thieves because they have the feanorians most treasured family heirloom and are refusing to give it back to them. And I think calling them thieves isnt exactly right because they didnt steal it from the feanorians and luthien and beren didnt either but it is wrong of them to not give it back. And the feanorians did first write letters asking to be given the silmaril back. The feanorians were wrong in kinslaying to try and get it back, but I do understand how they got to the conclusion to do so. They swore an oath to get it back and if they dont they will be in purgatory forever, so they really do have this need of getting it back even without considering the fact that its rightfully theirs to begin with.

As for for Dior and elwings part in this, I have more understanding for Dior than elwing. Dior is a new king and not well known to his people. And the silmaril to him represent a great deed done by his parents and their love for each other and I wouldnt be suprised if the silmaril was starting to become as important to Dior and his people as it was to the feanorians. So him not giving it away makes sense it has personal importance to him and giving it away could mark him as a weak king which is not something he needs. And it is also the fact that we dont know how much he knows about the feanorians oath and what it means he may know nothing at all about it.

Elwing on the other hand is completely different, I do not understand why she does the things she does at all. I will just be discussing the lead up to the kinslaying and not what happens during it, because I have read posts saying that her mental health may have crumbled during it and I do concede they have a point. But that doesnt explain any of the lead up to it. The feanorians ask for the silmaril and she tells them no and its like doesnt she realize that just like last time this can lead to a kinslaying, like does the thought even enter her mind and I dont understand how she could not see it as the likely outcome bu then she doesnt prepare for the eventuality at all. Its so puzzling to me, shes the leader and responible for the safety of everyone there but she doesnt seem to care about it. She doesnt even send her sons to cirdan were they would be safe from the feanorians. For elwing this has all happened before and she does nothing to change what will happen and it doesnt make sense.

So yea im on the feanorians side in this because the silmaril is rightfully theirs and while they did bad bad things to get them back i understand where they are coming from. Something i dont understand with elwing.

Hey anon, I definitely don’t see this as an attack; I do appreciate your reasonable tone here.

If you’re interested in other more detailed explorations of Elwing and her motivations, definitely check out my Elwing meta tag, because others on on tumblr have done some great work there.

The point I think the other anon was making about the swan ships is that fans can be very quick to condemn Luthien and her descendants as “thieves” of the Silmarils, but say nothing about the Feanorians’ theft of the swan ships. No, the events aren’t related, but one is a much clearer-cut case of theft than the other, yet it’s the one that’s swept under the rug to attack those who stand in opposition to the sons of Feanor (SoF). But you’re right, it’s not relevant to discussing Dior and Elwing in relation to the SoF.

Luthien and Beren, at great personal risk, obtained a Silmaril from Morgoth. I think it’s relevant to note that at this point, the SoF appeared to have no problem with Luthien having possession of the Silmaril. In fact, Maedhros takes heart from their success and by it is inspired to begin his efforts which culminate in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

First, let’s recall Luthien’s history with the Feanorians at the point that she and Beren depart Doriath after Beren is restored to life:( Read more... )

Not sure if you found any of this convincing, but I hope it’s something to consider at least!

Does it ever exhaust you that despite the little information on mama bird, somehow the gist they got from Elwing is that she is (implied to be) an addict/junkie for the stones (which gives way for her to be written as a neglectful/abusive mom? which also gives way for the eventual questionable fam that I am not touching) when the first thing she did after saying 'fuck you' to her murderers was to give the stones to her husband? So weird.

I said:

Yeah the idea that Elwing was like “addicted” to the Silmarils is a take that I don’t care for, because there’s no evidence for it and it’s generally used in my experience as just a slightly more sympathetic way of saying “good thing Elrond and Elros were taken away from her.”

The people of Sirion believed the Silmarils were protecting them and Earendil on his quest. That’s why they wanted to keep them. And because they didn’t want to bargain with the people who had tried to destroy them before. It’s right there in the text.

Elwing willingly, voluntarily, and without fanfare giving Earendil the Silmaril to me shows us that it was never that she wanted to keep it for herself. It was about a) what the Silmaril was doing for them (she believed); and b) specifically not wanting to give it to the Feanorians.

That said, I think you could do an interesting exploration of “what if she was hooked on the Silmaril” or smth, but even when it’s not being used as a justification for why Maglor was right to kidnap her children, it’s just not a take I’m personally interested in.

Response to this ask addressing why this person views Luthien and her line as thieves of the Silmaril.

Answer to this ask about the portrayal of Earendil and Elwing as parents.

I was stunned to come into this fandom after finishing the book and find out that Elwing and Earendil are controversial characters. Headcanons and AUs all you want, but the book makes it very clear they are heroes and Tolkien portrays them as heroes (albeit tragic ones)--Earendil slaying Ancalagon and Elwing convincing the Teleri to aid the war effort is more proof of that.

The Feanorians are the closest thing we have to true protagonists in the book and they're fan favorites, so there's a tendency to see other characters (Turgon, Thingol, Dior, Elwing, etc.) through the lens of how well the Feanorians like them or get along with them. If a character has conflict with the Feanorians, they're likely to get the villain treatment in certain circles of the fandom no matter how reasonable their actions were.

Above the cut I'm just going to link here to my tag for Elwing metas from other people.

Excerpt:

Once upon a time, the woods of Doriath were safe for Elves. Behind the magic girdle of their serene and deathless queen, the Iathrim had delved wonders into the earth and penned music so fair it was said to be unbearable to mortal ears. They had faced the armies of Morgoth when first (it seemed to them) he arrived, mowing across the continent with death and torment in his wake to make secure his foul fortress in the Iron Mountains, but when they perceived that they could not best him, they retreated behind the arm of Melian the Maia and her Elven king, Elu Thingol. For many years they so lived, staving off the shadow of Morgoth and his minions as best they could, and there was great joy and life to be found in the knotted foliage of those woods.

But that all changed with the murder of Elwing’s great-grandfather, the Greymantle.

Current Music: Drink Up Me Hearties; Hans Zimmer

Lowkey obsessed with the naming tradition of the line of Elwe/Thingol.

It just fascinates me how Thingol did not create the “El-” prefix naming tradition despite being the origin of it. Luthien’s given name bears no resemblance to either of her parents’ and neither does the name of her son, Dior. Yet Dior named himself Eluchil and took up the lordship of Doriath (something Luthien impliedly rejected when she and Beren chose to make their home elsewhere) and called his children Elured, Elurin, Elwing, and in their refugee’s home, cut off from her family and her heritage, Elwing named her own sons Elrond and Elros.

And then, that thousands of years later, as lord of his own realm, in the safety of Rivendell, lifetimes since he last saw either of his parents or lived among the Doriathrim, Elrond names his sons Elrohir and Elladan.

It feels especially important as a claim on Iathrim heritage considering Doriath’s destruction. It was in the wake of the ruinous war with Nogrod, when Dior stepped in to try to rebuild, that he chose to name his children after a grandfather he never met, the legendary Elu Thingol, once called Elwe. It’s after the total obliteration of Doriath as a kingdom at the hands of fellow Elves that Elwing claims this tradition in naming her own children. And for Elrond, who never saw Doriath, who was deprived of the chance to know his mother or be raised among the Iathrim in Sirion (or the Gondolindrim, but that’s another issue), when he names his firstborn children, he reaches for that heritage in Doriath, that connection and in doing so declares himself of the line of Thingol and of Elwing, and his children also. He marks them as the next generation of this bloodline, he recollects the life and death of Doriath and its people, keeping alive that memory, faint as it might be.

Today I want to talk about something that I think doesn’t get a lot of attention in the fandom, and that’s the role of the Silmaril in the success of Earendil’s journey, without which it’s strongly implied he and Elwing would not have succeeded in reaching Aman to get help for Middle-earth.

We know that Earendil purposed to reach Aman, despite being only half-Elven, and get help there for Middle-earth in the war with Melkor:

“....and he thought to find perhaps the last shore, and bring ere he died the message of Elves and Men to the Valar in the West, that should move their hearts to pity for the sorrows of Middle-earth.”

We know that he makes at least one journey to this effect, but is eventually turned back in failure:

“Eärendil found not Tuor nor Idril, nor came he ever on that journey to the shores of Valinor, defeated by shadows and enchantment, driven by repelling winds, until in longing for Elwing he turned homeward...”

So we know that he’s on at least his second attempt during the Third Kinslaying when Elwing, after being transformed by Ulmo, flies out to Vingilot. At this point, Earendil sees there is no hope for Middle-earth without the intercession of the Valar, that all the peoples of Middle-earth will be brought under Melkor’s thrall without aid, and he makes the difficult decision to continue the search for Aman, rather than turning back home.

”Yet Eärendil saw now no hope left in the lands of Middle-earth, and he turned again in despair and came not home, but sought back once more to Valinor with Elwing at his side. He stood now most often at the prow of Vingilot, and the Silmaril was bound upon his brow; and ever its light grew greater as they drew into the West.”

The transfer of the Silmaril from Elwing to Earendil is so unremarkable it doesn’t even get its own sentence--we simply know that Elwing has it and then we see that Earendil has it, marking one of the only times the Silmaril is freely transferred from one person to another.

But it’s more than that:

“And the wise have said that it was by reason of the power of that holy jewel [the Silmaril] that they came in time to waters that no vessels save those of the Teleri had known; and they came to the Enchanted Isles and escaped their enchantment; and they came into the Shadowy Seas and passed their shadows; and they looked upon Tol Eressea the Lonely Isle, but tarried not, and at last they cast anchor in the Bay of Eldammar...”

This is critical: the text here heavily implies that but for the Silmaril, they would not have been able to reach Valinor. Note how this passage parallels the description of Earendil’s first attempt--there he was “defeated by shadows and enchantment” and “in longing for Elwing” turned home, but here, with the Silmaril, Earendil and Elwing pass safely through the Enchanted Isles, the Shadowy Seas, and the Lonely Isle, strongly suggesting that they overcome Earendil’s past defeats because they have the Silmaril. Neither of them is fully Elven, neither of them should be able to reach Aman at all. Even Turgon’s sailors were unable to do it, and none of them had a drop of mortal blood.

Earendil and Elwing’s goal has been to get help for Middle-earth in the war with Melkor. They see that Middle-earth cannot win without help and therefore it’s only a matter of time before Melkor wears the whole continent down. Middle-earth has put up a good fight, but they’ve only managed to slow the inevitable. Earendil and Elwing’s failure to obtain the intercession of the Valar and the aid of the Amanyar would have been devastating--perhaps fatal--for the survival of Middle-earth.

Ergo, if Maedhros and Maglor had successfully taken the Silmaril from Elwing, or if she had handed it over to them, it would likely have secured Melkor’s victory over Middle-earth by ensuring none of them were ever able to reach Aman, once again turning the Oath to Melkor’s aid. That Elwing delivered the Silmaril to Earendil and that they made the painful decision not to return home and seek out their captive sons, but instead to press on with the quest for Aman were absolutely critical to the survival of Middle-earth and all the people in it. If they had done differently, all Middle-earth might have perished for it.

I think there are a lot of good reasons so let’s have a look (｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ

1. They have a lot in common. Both of them went through pretty traumatic events as children that involved being driven from their homes by an attacking force, losing family to that attacking force (Eärendil’s grandfather, Elwing’s parents and her brothers), and ending up refugees. They’re also at this point the only Peredhil in Middle-earth. There are a lot of difficult experiences they share, which allows them to understand each other on a level people without those experiences can’t as well.

2. They grew up together. They grew up in the Havens at Sirion and childhood-friends-to-lovers is a fire trope as far as I’m concerned. It’s very possible they played together as kids and they were there through each other’s awkward adolescent phases and talked each other through other crushes before they finally got together.

3. They obviously care about each other. We don’t see the details of a lot of marriages in The Silmarillion. Many of them are left wholly to the imagination as to how those characters acted around each other, but Eärendil and Elwing are explicitly devoted to each other.

“Eärendil found not Tuor nor Idril, nor came he ever on that journey to the shores of Valinor, defeated by shadows and enchantment. driven by repelling winds, until in longing for Elwing he turned homeward....” (Emphasis added)

Eärendil attempting his first voyage to Valinor is beset by all kinds of dangers, but it’s missing Elwing that finally makes him turn back and call this trip a bust.

“For Ulmo bore up Elwing out of the waves, and he gave her the likeness of a great white bird, and upon her breast there shone as a star the Silmaril, as she flew over the water to seek Eärendil her beloved.” (Emphasis added)

Beloved remains one of the peak terms of endearment, lbr.

“Then Eärendil, first of living Men, landed on the immortal shores...And Eärendil said to [his companions]: ‘Here none but myself shall set foot, lest you fall under the wrath of the Valar. But that peril I will take on myself alone, for the sake of the Two Kindreds.’

But Elwing answered: ‘Then would our paths be sundered for ever; but all thy perils I will take on myself also.’ And she leaped into the white foam and ran towards him...”

Elwing really said “if you’re damned then I will be too.” Here she accepts Eärendil’s fate, just as Eärendil later accepts hers and chooses the Elven path.

“But when all was spoken, Manwë gave judgement, and he said: ‘In this matter the power of doom is given to me. The peril that he ventured for love of the Two Kindreds shall not fall upon Eärendil, nor shall it fall upon Elwing his wife, who entered into peril for love of him...” (Emphasis added)

Even the Valar recognize how much these two care about each other!

“And at times, when Eärendil returning drew near again to Arda, she [Elwing] would fly to meet him, even as she had flown long ago, when she was rescued from the sea. Then the far-sighted among the Elves that dwelt in the Lonely Isle would see her like a white bird, shining, rose-stained in the sunset, as she soared in joy to greet the coming of Vingilot to haven.” (Emphasis added)

After their journey, even in spite of all their grief, they still find joy in one another. Their marriage is still strong even through everything they’ve seen.

4. They saved Middle-earth together. These two did what no one else had managed and sailed back to the Blessed Realm to get help for Middle-earth. Clearly, power couple moves.

”Yet Eärendil saw now no hope left in the lands of Middle-earth, and he turned again in despair and came not home, but sought back once more to Valinor with Elwing at his side.”

Friendly remind this journey is supposed to be impossible, but they are determined to do it because they know Middle-earth cannot survive without the intercession of the Valar.

“Few of the Teleri were willing to go forth to war, for they remembered the slaying at the Swanhaven, and the rape of their ships; but they hearkened to Elwing...and they sent mariners enough to sail the ships that bore the hose of Valinor east over the sea.”

But for Elwing, the Teleri would not have engaged in the war effort at all; she alone convinced them to help.

“But Eärendil came, shining with white flame, and about Vingilot were gathered all the great birds of heaven and Thorondor was their captain, and there was battle in the air all day and through a dark night of doubt. But before the rising of the sun Eärendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him down from the sky...”

From start to finish Eärendil and Elwing have been committed to saving Middle-earth from Melkor’s menace and boy do they see it through.

5. Eärendil chooses immortality to stay with Elwing. In a mirror of Beren and Lúthien’s story, Eärendil surrenders a mortal fate to stay joined with Elwing.

“Then Eärendil said to Elwing: ‘Choose thou, for now I am weary of the world.’ And Elwing chose to be judged among the Firstborn Children of Ilúvatar, because of Lúthien; and for her sake Eärendil chose alike...”

Eärendil both trusts Elwing to make this choice for both of them and makes the same choice as her even though it isn’t his first preference.

6. Eärendil named his boat, which becomes the immortal vessel in which he sails through the skies, after Elwing. Can we say romance?

7. Elwing gives Eärendil the Silmaril. In general, most people who get their hands on a Silmaril are not keen to give it up. Yet Elwing passes the Silmaril onto Eärendil without a fuss and never again takes possession of it.

8. Their super rad mythological couple energy. Half-Elven couple who braved the sea to voyage to a realm it was supposed to be impossible for them to find to bring back divine help for their home? Last queen of the forest kingdom who in her moment of greatest despair is lifted up by divine forces and transformed? Hero of the last bastion of the Elves in Middle-earth who uses his mariner skills to make an impossible voyage, bearing back a jewel thought lost forever? Former Elven queen who now abides in a white tower on the sea and talks to birds and transforms into a bird herself to fly up to greet the return of her husband? Immortal captain of a flying ship that slew a dragon and now keeps watch over the stars? They are killing it y’all.

I saw some other posts looking to spread fandom positivity so I thought I would do it also <3

1. Second Music of the Ainur. This fanart by navyinks is absolutely GORGEOUS. She now has my preferred Daeron design and the beauty and drama of this piece is just stunning. Fantastic work (along with her other stuff as well!)

2. Better a Holy Discord. Wonderful take on the Valar by clothono and such engaging prose! I've loved this author's work in the past (huge shout-out to The One With All the Birds, my favorite Elwing fic of all time!) and this one definitely does not disappoint.

3. Elwing's Worst Nightmare. Anattmar's works are always breathtaking and she captures so well the Doriathrin perspective on the Maedhros. This piece evokes such a visceral fear response, truly amazing work!

4. A King is He That Can Hold His Own. This fanfic by iddump is a response to a kink meme prompt and I am frankly astounded by what this author has managed to do with it. Maedhros/Thingol is not a ship that comes up much in this fandom, but this author makes it intensely compelling with plenty of hot sex too.

5. Thingol. I could honestly pick any of Noldorinpainter's Thingol artworks because they're all fabulous. And such a unique style!

6. Little Tenderness. Batshape is another author with generally excellent works, but I lose my shit over this Feanor/Nerdanel Formenos piece. It has all the love and angst and gender dynamics I could want out of Feanel and is one of the few fanfics I've re-read.

Elwing had a crook in her neck. She often did, these days. There was a window in the sitting room from which she could see the harbor, and so frequently was her gaze turned towards it—even without thought, anymore!—that the muscles in her neck had begun to protest being so awkwardly craned or snapped abruptly when she thought she saw something from the corner of her eye. It was become a reflex that now occurred whether she thought she saw something or not.
