Holy shit dude …. dude… this is so… so much. I can’t believe this is real– like, a real drawing you actually went and made in with physical materials. My god, it’s on Real Paper? I can’t even make words right now. It’s so fucking beautiful. This is by far the most beautiful and elaborate thing I think has ever been done for a thing I wrote, and this completely outclasses anything I’ve ever written or drawn by fucking miles… my dinky headcanon post is hardly deserving of this masterpiece; I feel like this should be in a Viennese gallery like the Beethoven Frieze, with gold leaf and stuff. I’m genuinely emotional right now, just… holy shit look at this………. look at the lyre, look at the waves… he’s got a shattered halo and the body of a broken god, I’m fucking speechless

The Silmarillion characters – Maglor The Mighty Singer (Kanafinwё, Makalaurë)

“And it is told of Maglor that he could not endure the pain with which the Silmaril tormented him; and he cast it at last into the Sea, and thereafter he wandered ever upon the shores, singing in pain and regret beside the waves. For Maglor was mighty among the singers of old, named only after Daeron of Doriath; but he came never back among the people of the Elves”.

Forget the friendzone, tell him he’s the son you’ve always wanted.

Of Maglor
& Sexuality

Beliefs & Experiences

Maglor is not really a
being of commitment. He is flighty and likes to sample all that life
would give him. Ellyn, ellyth, gwegwin- theres even rumor that he has
tumbled with a maia. Despite all of that, he is romancable. He is
simply shy when it comes to matters of his own heart. Something
amusing to hear from one of the greatest musicians and play writes.

He does end up courting an
elleth- or rather she courts him. She
was a popular actress used often in his plays and was somewhat of a
popular figure in the sport of fencing. She was charismatic and had
every ounce of bravery he had not. They were already set to be wed
whenever Finwe died and the oath came about. Their plans for marriage
crumbled as Maglor followed his father blindly and she raised a sword
against him to defend the Teleri. Though she did not fall by his
sword, she did die, and Maglor stumbled in grief over her for years.

Unlike his older brother he
kept no attempts to be celibate. He would seek comfort in other elves
and humans over the years. Even during his time wandering when he was
the last of seven he would find comfort in human women’s arms for a
few nights. He has no qualms against any gender nor race and doesn’t
care much about the beauty of the person he finds comfort with. It is
hard to win his heart, however, grief and self hatred consuming it.
