Day 2: Maglor for @feanorianweek
Sloth|Diligence
Tumblr media
Snapdragon: Snapdragon makes a person appear fascinating and cordial according to some people, and in the language of flowers, snapdragons are said to represent both deception and graciousness.
Maglor was laid out to be the kindest of his brothers, which I think just means that he knew how to act around people to get them to like him, as well as him being a singer/musician in a world made of music, where music shapes the world, makes it obvious that he manipulated people (maybe even the world itself in a little scale) for his own benefit.

One of my absolute favorite lines of Éowyn’s is one that is so simple yet so meaningful.
“I desired to be loved by another. But I desire no man’s pity.”
Note the past tense in the first sentence. She’s telling Faramir that she doesn’t love Aragorn anymore, that she’s over him. She’s intentionally opening the door for him to admit what she already suspects are his true feelings for her.
Yet she still stands her ground. She doesn’t want to be seen as pathetic. She knows her feelings and thoughts are valid, and will not be told otherwise.
In few words, she is saying to Faramir that she is indeed opening her heart to him, but won’t hesitate to reject him if he will look down on her for all her suffering and struggles. She loves him, but has enough self-respect to turn away if he proves to not be good to her.
And Faramir, of course, passes her test with flying colors.

POV:
You're one of the two elves who are holding Middle-Earth by paper-clips: either, you rule over the most sophisticated and mischievous elves, or you rule over the most deranged, crazy elves.

Next time you're struggling with a task that seemed easy just imagine a clueless Pippin asking you:
"What are you going to do then?"
You won't be any more successful but at least it'll be more fun! Or you'll be as annoyed as Gandalf when he tried to open the Doors of Durin! One of those is more likely than the other...

imagine: you are chilling in front you your house getting high. along comes an old family friend who you last saw when you were six, you are now in your 50s. after a brief convo where he is kind of a dick to you, he’s like damn you’ve changed :/. and your like yeah bestie it’s been five decades why the fuck are you here. he leaves. later that night a shit ton of people show up and trash your house. just throw and absolute rager. halfway through the family friend from earlier shows up. he announces in full earshot of everyone that he wants you to come with him to rob a bank. you of course say wtf??? one of the people who broke into your house calls you a pussy. another person shoves you a contract which declares if you get shot robbing the bank they will not pay for your funeral. you pass out. when you wake up you find the contract on your table and your house almost completely back to normal. you stare at the contract for a moment and decide, fuck it this is just as a good a midlife crisis than anything.
this is what happened to bilbo baggins

Day 4: Caranthir for @feanorianweek
Greed|Generosity
Tumblr media
Narcissus: Narcissus are usually connected with selfishness and arrogance, from the greek myth where Narcissus was so beautiful that he fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water.
He spends a lot of his wealth on jewelry, which is usually made by Curufin, who he repays with the win he´s brewing and clothes. I think I said it before that I think he was the biggest alcohol supplier, as well as the riches in Beleriand of the free people when he was alive because of his talent around trait. And of course I gave him bulky looking clothes inspired by the Edain´s fashion, where it was important to look like you had lots of fabrics, fur, and food.

The terrible Gollum game is only the beginning, folks. The Hobbit enters the US public domain in just a little less than ten years, so the current rights-holders are going to be trying to squeeze every last bit of profit they can out of the little fucker before he becomes free to use. You have no idea what's coming.
