I Think We Should Talk More About How Finrod, The Fair And Friendly One, The One Who Decided The Best

I think we should talk more about how Finrod, the Fair and Friendly one, the one who decided the best way to introduce himself to a new race of creatures was sneaking into a camp of sleeping humans and performing a harp solo, that Finrod- killed a werewolf naked with his teeth.

If you lined up all the grandchildren of Finwe, and asked me to rate each of them by their likelihood to die while killing a werewolf naked with their teeth, I think I might have put Finrod dead last. Maybe second to last behind Turgon, who has the least feral energy.

But he just. Canonically does that. In an episode of the story that prominently features Celegorm (the run away leader in the “likely to kill a werewolf naked with his teeth” polls), FINROD FELEGUND is the one who rips out the throat of a werewolf with his teeth.

We don’t talk about it enough. He hauls a ton of gems across the ice because he is so connected to civilization he looks at the helcaraxe and says “when I get to the uncertain future on the other side of this, I’m gonna need to pay for things.”

And then-

naked

WITH HIS TEETH!!!

so obligatory disclaimer I have WAY too many post Angband ideas and they can be found in the post Angband tag and my list of complex trauma after torture metas are in my masterlist

(I have to say this here otherwise I’ll get even more over excited and link like every relevant post which would keep us here awhile)

On Thangorodrim, if it hadn't been Fingon

Celegorm would take the shot. He's a hunter, he knows about putting something out of its misery. He would do it and it would burn him up but he would do it, and as he fought his way out some part of him would be waiting, almost hoping, for an arrow in return.

Curufin would shoot as well. It's simple logic. He would shoot, and he would know he'd made the right choice, but no matter how much he rationalised or pretended it would never, never get easier.

Caranthir wouldn't. He would cling fast and fierce to the hope that he could still fix this, and Maedhros would beg him to leave but he would stay and fight at the foot of the cliffs until he was brought down and chained himself. And that, that would break Maedhros.

The twins could never bring themselves to do it. They loved their mother and worshipped their father but it was their brother who braided their hair and dried their tears, and no-one is ever ready to kill their childhood, not when they're barely grown. Maedhros would tell them to run, eventually, and they would, shamed and horrified. Amrod first, and then Amras.

And Maglor? Maglor, of all of them, might have thought to pray.

Was rewatching Two Towers (extended edition obvs) and when the Battle of Helms Deep came up, I absolutely refuse to believe that when Theoden ordained that the elderly and young boys would also pulled into fighting the Uruk-Hai, that the mother, wives, sisters, and daughters that heard this didn't immediately start undressing and forcing their loved ones to swap clothes with them because if you think for one second I am about to let my 14 year old brother or my ill grandfather (who probably can't even LIFT a sword) go fight for our freedom when I can, then Theoden King better step up because I have a few things to say

thinking of how one of my twitter mutuals tried to do the ai generated greentext and got like. a genuine piece of poetry with meaning that actually feels like a person wrote it
