Then Fingolfin beheld (as it seemed to him) the utter ruin of the Noldor, and the defeat beyond redress of all their houses; and filled with wrath and despair he mounted upon Rochallor his great horse and rode forth alone, and none might restrain him. He passed over Dor-nu-Fauglith like a wind amid the dust, and all that beheld his onset fled in amaze, thinking that Oromë himself was come: for a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar. Thus he came alone to Angband’s gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth to single combat. And Morgoth came.
And Morgoth came.
AND MORGOTH CAME.
Tolkien could have ended this paragraph in so many different ways. But he chose this short, ominous sentence - I absolutely love how it doesn't really seem to match the rest of the narrative but it kind of still fits?
Screaming crying throwing up about Fingolfin's desperate attack. It hits so hard every fucking time.

fingolfin is so funny he's like "I'm going to be the image of calmness and duty and rationality in the face of fëanor's impulsive madness" and then in a fit of reckless passion goes and has the wildest ballsiest most insane death imaginable
#I love Fingolfin he is sooooo#This is also the guy that looked at the Helcaraxë and said 'sure I'll cross that'

Morgoth: I am so evil and powerful, and no one can stop me! Mwahaha!
Fingolfin: Square up.
Morgoth: W- wh- ... HA! As if *I* should entertain this- this joke! For surely, a contest with me is a joke, for I am all powerful and evil!
Fingolfin: Square up...
Morgoth:
Fingolfin:
Morgoth:
Fingolfin: *into a megaphone* ...bitch.
All of Angband: OOOOOOOOOH
Sauron: I think you should square up, Master.
Morgoth: I- I- *sighs* But of course! Behold the might of Morgoth! You shall rue this day, Elf!
*After the battle*
Morgoth: *trying to hide a limp* Ah-ha!! Behold! For I have smote fair Fingolfin, like I said I would!
Angband: *cheers* M- V- P, M- V- P, M- V- P!
Morgoth: *quietly* Sauron, please get me neosporin and I might need a rabies shot.
Sauron: A rabies shot?
Morgoth: Manwë's stupid fucking bird attacked me too!
Sauron: Okay, okay. It's okay. And I'll get the Nightmare before Christmas bandaids.
Morgoth: *fighting back a tear* Thanks. Did I look hot fighting him?
Sauron: So hot, Master.
Morgoth: Good. Good.

I don't think he necessarily had to die, but he probably did have to "disappear" from the equation for a bit after her served his purpose of driving away Frodo and getting Merry and Pippin captured
I like a scenario where where Aragorn somewhow inexplicablt fails to notice he's not dead, and he is instead found by some Rohirrim farmers who take him in an nurse him back to health. Bonus points if his boyfriend Théodred is being tended to as well and they get to recover from their wounds together ❤️
Honest question for the lotr bubble!
Do you think that Boromir had to die to make the destruction of the ring possible?
I mean, he died saving Merry and Pippin, but then they get taken anyway which is actually important because of the Ents etc and the shade a huge impact. So he at least had to fail attempting to save them.
And I don’t know what would have happened if our three hunters didn’t go to Rohan and Aragorn would have followed Boromir to Gondor. Maybe Legolas and Gimli would have gone home.
Sadly I think that everything has to happen the way it did.
(But a beautiful herbalist finding and curing him is always a possibility)

These men of Bëor are stronger and politer people than I because if I was just finally lying down to sleep after a long arduous hike over the mountains and then some weird blonde twink appeared and woke me up playing the harp and singing in a language i barely understood i wouldn't listen in awe and wonder i would fucking stab him

Hehe, I'm glad you approve! I also love your summary of the Rohirrim just being cool with everything, it made me laugh!
Also I am awaiting the infamous tale of Guthláf and Widfara with keen interest. Obscure blorbo romance ftw! 💖
Feel free to ignore this if it’s not something you have thoughts on (or, obviously, ignore it for any other reason you want!) BUT in a world where Borodred happened but they DIDN’T die and other LOTR events turned out more or less the same (so Théoden is dead and Théodred is king, Denethor is dead but it doesn’t matter because Aragorn retook the throne)…what are Théodred and Boromir doing post-war? Is Boromir living in Rohan as the king’s consort? Is Théodred abdicating to Éomer and running away with his man to somewhere else? Something entirely different?
Hello, thank you for asking! ❤
Bear in mind this is just one headcanon - I'm always open to having multiple conflicting ones. This is just probably my favourite:
I quite like the idea that despite surviving, Théodred did sustain injuries bad enough that he was kept out of action for the rest of the War of the Ring (It was destroyed only a month after the first battle of Isen, after all). I'm thinking along the terms of loss of limb, amputated either by orcs or after infection. What can I say, I love to hurt this boy. Also, I imagine that in this scenario he would have been taken back to Helm's Deep to be treated as it's much closer than Edoras, and that just adds a whole new dimension to Théoden's decision to flee there - because I can see him thinking "Well if they DO breach the Keep we're probably all dead anyway, but at least I shall be with my son". Aaaahh. Feelings.
Now I'm not saying that Rohan would consider a cripple unfit to rule because I don't think that's true, but it would keep Éomer in the position of proving himself as a leader and a warrior of great renown while his cousin is incapacitated, as well as developing his friendship with Aragorn. And this version of Théodred at least doesn't really want to be King - it's more of a burden than an honour. So he and Éomer end up in this awkward impasse where Théodred wants to abdicate but feels too much guilt to admit it, while Éomer is happy to take the mantle but feels dishonourable taking his cousin's birthright.
Then enter Boromir. I think after the War he would feel very much at a loose end. The job he had trained for his whole life has basically disappeared, or at least changed beyond recognition. He is as we know a man of action who is dearly attached to his home and people, and probably wouldn't be happy to entirely give up his roots - even for one he loves as devotedly as Théodred. Neverthess, I think it would be healthy to get him out of Minas Tirith and King Elessar's shadow (especially if in this scenario he still attacked Frodo, because I think Aragorn's presence would be a constant reminder of his weakness). So if Faramir is the Prince of Ithilien, I propose making Boromir the Prince of Anórien.
Now I feel like Éomer and Aragorn aren't stupid - they know that there is something going on between these two men that they dearly love, and after they get the truth that is the catalyst to Théodred finally giving up the throne. He and Boromir settle near Halifirien, where they are given the task of cultivating the friendship between Gondor and Rohan, something that I feel Éomer and Aragorn both feel very passionate about. They found a new town together which is home to peoples of both nations, as well as a new, much-needed stopping point for travellers. Boromir can set about clearing out what remains of the orcs in the White Mountains, and Théodred One-Foot can act as Mayor of the town, hobbling around and making friends and petting horses to his heart's content.
In my mind, Gondor is definitely the more homophobic of the two nations, but it's more something that people just kind of refuse to acknowledge, rather than actively condemn. Many of the townsfolk do wonder at the closeness of these two lords who for some reason also share a house, and why neither of them ever takes a wife, but it feels rude to ask questions. The maids know though of course, because the maids know everything.

Sam: And then Mr Frodo and I spent ten whole days crossing a perilous wasteland, shrouded in darkness-
Galadriel: Ten days? That's cute
#When I was young we spent 27 years on the the grinding ice#Though tbf I don't entirely understand why it took that long to cross the helcaraxe

glad to see you're enjoying the Silmarillion! I'm still crawling through my reread of it but I agree, Beleriand and its realms is the hardest part for me. I didn't pay attention to most of it and then promptly realised I needed to pay attention to it for fic writing purposes. Oops.
Hahah, I mean sure if I'm ever in a situation where I need to know about it I will go back but... I just can't face it right now :')

Yk what cracks me up is that the Council of Elrond isn’t even an organized event planned years in advance or anything. It’s just like…the messengers of a bunch of world leaders with a bunch of different problems coming to Elrond for advice but coincidentally they all get there at the same time,,,,
It’s hilarious. Elrond sitting them down like schoolchildren at a history lesson to explain how all their problems are connected. The random forming of the fellowship bc it’s a bunch of strangers prepared to go take a message back home but instead they get sent on a quest to save the world,,,,
Just the chaos of it all. The way literally everyone’s initial response to their problems was “let’s go ask Elrond.”
“Let’s go as Elrond” is the middle earth equivalent of “google it” and I think that’s great.
