Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought of "artoirel tells the wol and then haurchefant about his fuckery because he's hoping at least of them will beat his ass" because that would be fun
YES. I was chatting with @knightscalling the other day like oh, wait. Oh, Haurchefant would lose his shit if he found out. It was a very fun possibility to write out!

Speaking of fingon, I sort of assumed a lot of differences between your canon, and silm canon, like him being a healer, started with "well these are humans not magic elves, so he needs to be able to cut someone's hand off on a mountain and not have them just die" and developed from there.
From what I recall (co authors chime in with your recollections too, please): That is exactly why our Fingon is a doctor, haha! As well as I think we were like Fingon was something of a golden boy in the Silm, and it feels like he is to an extent Tolkien’s image of what a paragon of Noldorin potential is, like Diomedes for the Greeks. And as a big through-line in LotR is the importance of Healing, and the hands of the king are the hands of a healer and all that, it just made sense.
Glad you liked the song! Got two more before the week ends: Take Stuff From Work by King Missile (i didn't come up with this one, but it's good. Except instead of office supplies, they take spaceships)
Song 2 is Who Are You Really by Mikky Ekko
Omg always welcome!
Oh my god youre right they are taking things from work and things are WMDs 🤩 my cuties! Added to the playlist!
If you want a song match in vibe, I can offer this one:
But I also think this fits Shadow especially in the same vein:
And for song 2:
Honestly this is such a vibe, I remember listening to this artist as a teenager, why did I ever drop off? This is a good existential song with a really nice beat I like a lot!
This might be a little too upbeat for the darkest team, but here's my batback recommendation if you would like it?
This is all - if you didn't know reading this - for the teamdarkweek playlist! Add to it if you like, anyone may join!
Where ddoes it canonical lysay that maglor saved maedhros by killing uldor? Bc I didn't know that and its super interesting
(in reference to my tags here)
From The Silmarillion, Of The Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad:
Many of the Easterlings turned and fled, their hearts being filled with lies and fear; but the sons of Ulfang went over suddenly to Morgoth and drove in upon the rear of the sons of Fëanor, and in the confusion that they wrought they came near to the standard of Maedhros. They reaped not the reward that Morgoth promised them, for Maglor slew Uldor the accursed, the leader in treason, and the sons of Bór slew Ulfast and Ulwarth ere they themselves were slain.
It's not, I suppose, strictly canonical that by killing Uldor Maglor saved Maedhros' life; but since Uldor and his brothers seem to have been aiming for Maedhros' standard, I think it's a reasonable enough inference that had Maglor not killed him he would have attacked Maedhros! Although we also can't discount the role the sons of Bór played here.
Sorry If this is a duplicate, tumblr's being weird, but since we learned that Essek's been growing his hair out post C2, I've been thinking about Fray!Essek. Good for him.
Oh, tumblr, always weird! I did get this one, though, and thank you 🫶 Yeah, in the context of that fic, it would be a pretty big moment for Essek to grow his hair out again! Good for him, indeed.

anders dragon age for the bingo meme
I mean. He is a great character. But imagine if his writer had actually liked and given a shit about him. Imagine what a great story we could have had then...
Jester and Essek?
JESTER:
Why I like them: ksdjhf where do i BEGIN. she's that one character who was INSTANTLY my favorite; i fell in love with her voice, her demeanor, her personality, everything! but i also love her and relate to her on a deeper level--how she's seen as less mature because of her likes and hobbies, how she represses her negative emotions for fear of making other people hurt or uncomfortable, growing up isolated. also i really love her creativity and her growth from someone sheltered to someone with a bit more worldly experience who takes initiative, but in that growth she never lets go of her love for unicorns or fairy tales or the color pink or her joy and kindness and belief in the best of people! i love her so much
Why I don’t: literally nothing i can put here she's great
Favorite scene: the tarot reading on lucien that was INCREDIBLE
Favorite season/movie: i cant pick a favorite arc w her shes great all the time!!
Favorite line: "something must end for something new to begin" but also "let chaos reign"
Favorite outfit: ALL OF THEM but if we're going by purely official art then her xhorhas outfit. but if we look at my tweaks to the outfits then the winter one becomes my favorite
OTP: JESTERMAUK but i also ship her with beau, yasha, and calianna
Brotp: jester essek besties for the win also team cleric good
Head Canon: bi grayro/grayce jester my beloved
Unpopular opinion: kinda wish we got more time for jester introspection/inner conflict in the travelercon arc? it got kinda wrapped up pretty neatly and i do wish we could've gotten more conflict. i do like that her friendship w artagan was reaffirmed in the end, but idk i do wish there were some more challenges thrown her way in that regard and that would make it all the more satisfying to see her rise above it all and fight for her beliefs and win in the end. also ngl some of the shipping discourse i see is Weird and im just gonna leave it at that. also there's more to jester's humor than d!ck jokes and i kinda don't like how one-note it all started to become in the later episodes
A wish: continuing from the first point in the unpopular opinion section, would have LOVED to see the timeline where the traveler actually was taken to the feywild and jester turned to the moonweaver for help. while her faith in artagan is definitely strong in canon i feel like that kind of arc would have made her faith feel even STRONGER. also i wanna see her feywild adventures
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: please don't let her """mature""" out of her hobbies and interests let her become a little old lady who still loves unicorns and stories and pink
5 words to best describe them: chaotic, vibrant, joyful, strong, lively
My nickname for them: another canon nickname but i do call her jessie or jes sometimes
ESSEK:
Why I like them: oh golly gee ANOTHER character i relate to! gifted kid burnout syndrome my beloathed. mainly the experience of being considered a prodigy early in life and then expected to preform to that standard every time. also i LOVE essek's arc and his character development, he grew from someone cold and isolating to someone who cries over a person he didn't even know (mollymauk) and all that growth was SO satisfying to watch. easily my favorite character arc
Why I don’t: n/a
Favorite episode (scene if movie): episode 91 was SO GOOD
Favorite season/movie: despite being a Molly Stan, essek was easily my favorite part of the aeor arc! (mostly bc the molly and lucien stuff made me stressed and emotional while watching; essek was nothing but satisfying to watch) anyway i loved being able to see that growth in real time!
Favorite line: "it's not fair" AAAH the heartbreak and also i cant remember any other essek lines atm RIP
Favorite outfit: out of all the different interpretations of his mantle i do like the munchkin interpretation (aka kyotosparty's) the best!
OTP: SHADOWGAST but i do also like shadowmauk
Brotp: jester essek besties
Head Canon: short essek fave essek
Unpopular opinion: i dont think i have one?
A wish: if the m9 ever get an animated series, i hope essek gets more lines and more chances to give his input once they get to the aeor arc! i understand that matt was juggling SO MUCH at the time so i def see why it didn't happen during the actual show. also i would love to see more adventuring essek as well as an origins comic
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: that after the m9 are all gone, that he doesn't ever find happiness again and slips back into loneliness. i would like to think he's able to find more friends, more adventures, and more love while still honoring his old ones, and he's able to live a long and happy life
5 words to best describe them: complex, relatable, flawed, hopeful, ninth
My nickname for them: i dont have one for him i dont think
kisses 31
word 14

Without anyone around for miles, it is pleasant here to lay among the coastline’s sand and brush, sun obscured by partial lazy clouds.
Caleb looks as though his skin is burning where he has fallen asleep with a book on his chest.
Essek reaches out a hand, brushing the backs of his fingers against pink cheeks, the freckles threatening to grow more numerous by the minute, an array of stubborn dandelion seeds. Caleb stirs and smiles.
“You’re going to get sunburned.”
Caleb brushes his own fingers against Essek’s cheek, warm to the touch. “I could say the same for you.”
