He was tall, wearing white with a gold belt and a crown of garnets, holding the Staff of Doom in his hand. At his side was Glamdring, the Foe-hammer.

I feel like I’m meant to make a series of ‘let’s comfort Turgon’ pics.
Here’s Finrod singing for Turgon and Idril so they can sleep more easily.
WELL, THERE GOES MY HEART, gonna need a new one of those
Is it just me, or is Turgon really the only character who honestly LIKES Maeglin without any ulterior motives whatsoever? I mean there are mentions of Maeglin having political allies, even people who followed him into betrayal, and he’s said to be a charismatic speaker, but Turgon is the only one who is mentioned (specifically and by name) to like him on a personal level, repeatedly.
Which, you know, is kind of heartbreaking, considering.
Yep. Besides from Aredhel (who seems to have sincerely liked her son on top of loving him, even going beyond the fact that she sacrificed her life for him), Turgon seems to be the only person who is remarked upon as liking Maeglin and not simply intending to use him.
#Turgon: a genuinely nice guy #Which only makes the inevitable torture-motivated betrayal even worse #Of course I wonder if Maeglin got so used to people either disliking and distrusting him #Or pretending to like him only so they could use him to their own advantage #(Which since he’s characterized as being able ‘to see into people’s hearts and minds’ he’d pick up on pretty quickly) #That he just assumed that Turgon couldn’t possibly like him just because he liked him #That Turgon couldn’t possibly care for him just because he cared for him #When Turgon declared Earendil his heir it was probably just confirmation to Maeglin #That Turgon had been using him #Just like everyone else #And that when he was no longer the only option for heir #He was immediately downgraded #And Maeglin assumed that that was the only importance he’d ever been of to Turgon in the first place #So suddenly he’s not important anymore and Turgon doesn’t value him anymore (or so he thinks) #So when Morgoth starts working on him he’s got a lot to work WITH (x)

[Mereth Aderthad is the birthplace of a lot of good bad ideas. I like to think it was where Turgon and Finrod decided to have a trip together, like a ‘hey dude we should get together sometime we haven’t hung out in a while’. That’s one headcanon hah]
“Ha ha! Yeah man, we could totally hang out and like…. talk about architecture and tell each other our dreams!”
“Why, are your dreams weird?”
“HUH? NO. Are yours? I mean, do you have weird dreams? About like… I dunno Ulmo, or…?”
“NO MAN THAT WOULD BE WEIRD HA HA unless you have dreams about Ulmo…?”
“NO HA HA HA
"HA HA HA”
“HAAA.”
