OH. Oh oh oh.
I think I’ll start using the title “Anaškad” for Sauron as the godking of Mordor and Harad. Possibly Ar-Anaškad– which would become, approximately, “Ring Lord”. Eh? Eh? :DD

You see a lot where the Feanorians all inherited bits of their dad, and I love that. They’re all angry nerds, but I mean specifically. Maedhros has the Charisma. Maglor got the artistry, the thing for aesthetic. Caranthir got the pedant thing. Will also fight you in a Waffle House at 3am. The Ambarussa are insatiably curious. Curufin…exists. But! You also see a lot where Celegorm Does Not Have This. Which makes sense, because he’s a muddy, bloody fukboi, but!! I raise you!!! The languages!! Granted, not linguistics proper, there wouldn’t be an essay written about him and his Thing about digraphs, but languages! ‘All the tongues of birds and beasts he knew.’ He likes to communicate. He’s the kid who travels after high school and comes back semi-fluent in more than one language, because he kept accosting people in pubs like hey, what are we doing, what are we saying. Also! Fighting styles. Less apparent, because Feanor only started fighting things like a week before combusting, but their fite-moods are similar–i.e, real fuckin fell and fey. Someone should really kill them–not you, you’re running, but someone should get on that.
This early Persian astrolabe with a geared calendar movement is the oldest geared machine in existence in a complete state. It illustrates an important stage in the development of the various complex astronomical machines from which the mechanical clock derives. Islamic scholars learned of this design from a text by one of the greatest Islamic scientists, al-Bîrûnî (973-1048), who explained how gearing might be used to show the revolutions of the sun and moon at their relative rates, and to demonstrate the changing phase of the moon. These phenomena were of fundamental importance in the lunar calendar used in Islam.

“Be bold, my lady, but not too bold,” he rumbled, taking her hand gently from his chest and kissing it. “I have many charges to tend to, both here and far off. You would do better by far to serve me as a lord, and not a consort– delighted though I am by your favor.”
