world’s most based casting director:

Hi, thanks for your ask! Lately I’ve been rereading all Orome/Celegorm fics on Ao3. Lo-o-ove them, with or without romance. Dual allegiance, feanorian artificiality and wild nature, amazing. Made a very quick sketch for you, I just finished my diploma %)

Frodo was basically an innocent puppy thrown into the Torment Nexus so that EVERYONE ELSE could maybe have a hope of surviving. And he did that willingly. HE DID IT OF HIS OWN FREE WILL, KNOWING IT WOULD RUIN HIM.

Celegorm: I-

I find the idea of this proto-Celegorm/Finrod being forced to choose between two simultaneous and contradictory oaths to be extremely compelling. In a way I’m kind of sad that Tolkien didn’t stick with it, but I also love both Celegorm and Finrod as characters independently and it’s hard to imagine the Silmarillion without Finrod proper. However this definitely explains where the werewolf throat removal idea came from.

I attached the article by Dawn Felagund from the Silmarillion Writer’s Guild below.

An interview with Susanna Clarke

One of my artworks for TRSB2022! Frodo and Celebrían in Valinor. After the end of the War of the Ring, Arwen gives Frodo a gift, and a message to take to her mother in Valinor, knowing that Celebrían will understand the wounds Frodo bears upon his spirit.
