ideal Celebrimbor film or tv take is that he has an ominous minor chord leitmotif a la Anakin in Revenge of the Sith that just. never develops into a full villain theme. ever. but also never goes away. Celebrimbor is the “pink-haired teenager desperately dodging heroic plot hooks” of Middle Earth villainy. bloodline? check. secretly evil, seductive-corrupting mentor/work partner? check. major recurring theme across every Tolkien work of moral corruption of pride, greed, jealousy, lust for power, etc. in those skilled in any sort of smithcraft, or even just tangentially related to notable jewelry? double and triple check.

Celebrimbor: [continues going about his day]

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you, please don't take my man

Your sword is long, your lance is keen, your shining helm afar is seen

But into darkness fell your star, Jolene

Long ago you went away, and where thou dwellest none can say,

In Mordor where the shadows are, Jolene.

The last whose realm was fair and free between the mountains and the sea

Gil-galad was an Elven king, Jolene

I’m working under the assumption that Gil-Galad is a descendant of Finwe, and that he was born at some point after the Dagor Bragollach, possibly even after the Nirnaeth Anoediad. I’m also assuming the Noldor don’t believe in ruling queens, which is all but stated in the text.

I don’t know whose kid he is, but I know why he went down in history as Fingon’s. Let’s look at potential parents (all living members of the house of Finwe). [under a cut for length]

@professorsparklepants asked me if I was aware people ship Damian Wayne and Marinette Dupain-Cheng, and the conversation...went...places.

Like. A lot of places.

jk rowling's new reputation will never not be funny to me. when you see her name now you dont think "oh yeah thats the chick who wrote harry potter" you think "oh lord, this TERF bitch again" like bro how do you fuck up so bad that your fuck ups overshadow writing the third most read piece of literature in existence

#literally like I was saying earlier!#these books could have just quietly gone down in history as a much-beloved piece of children's/teen fiction#and people would have been like 'it's kind of problematic but the pros outweigh the cons so I'll read it to the kids'#but Rowling was SO desperate to keep herself relevant that she's driven HP into the fucking earth

i can’t say “angry birds ratios a transphobe” was on my 2023 bingo card, but i’m not disappointed

It's real and it got better.

You think THATS a denim jacket?

Surely you

Jest

That punchline hit me like a sack of wet mice

Like a sack of what
