crocordile:

1-3 things I enjoy about them

1. I’m SUPER into daughters of ruined houses hahahaha, seems like a trope that’s usually used for male characters, but I have Such a Thing for it when it’s abt like, the Last Daughter of an important line? She’s right there with Morwen (and Rian and Beldis), Nienor, Galadriel at some point, Tar-Míriel after a fashion, etc etc, I’m super into dispossessed young heiresses a+   
2. She’s one of the female characters in the Silm who has most scenes and moments, but none of them are centered on motherhood? She appears more in lines referencing to her ancestry and heritage, which is honestly REALLY cool considering she’s the mom of two super important Legendarium characters. But the narrative tends to be very neutral when mentioning that fact, which is p cool imo 😉
3. I am a Teleri Hoe so I LOVE THE PART WHERE SHE CONVINCES THEM TO FUCKING FIGHT you can tell literally nobody in Alqualonde cared and she made them care because somehow in like what? 12 hours? She managed to win their hearts somehow? I Love Her
4. Earendil: hoe don’t do it
