a fangirl's weakness

less literal than it maybe should be, but there was a bunch of stuff I wanted to try to get in there, and eventually I just had to call it done. :U (...for now) (we'll see how it goes)

anyway I'm continuing to enjoy this RSA time! they really are on a totally different plane of emotional existence than we're used to from these guys, aren't they.

The descriptions of this in The Silmarillion and The Children of Húrin especially to me are so vivid and strangely beautiful; the swords like a forest, the sons of Fëanor scattered like leaves in the wind, the sun setting upon the blood soaked rivulets of Serech and the strong winds building.

The line about night falling in Hithlum is especially grim to me knowing what is to befall Aerin, Morwen and all those left in Dor-lómin, as well as the displacement of many of the Sindar of Mithrim. The devastation of the Nírnaeth gives way to so much more horror.

Thus ended the Nírnaeth Arnoediad as the sun went down beyond the sea.

it's just a phase

How beautiful he is! This appearance of his… He resembles a being in the old books… He resembles a god! The warrior of Liberation who plays the fool and makes people smile! Also known as… The Sun God! Nika!
