Day 1 of asking the silmarillion fandom (the feanorian part of it especially) to call Feanaro by his Quenya name

1. This is the most direct and correct way to oppose to Thingol’s ban of Quenya and opposing the ban is opposing to cultural erasure. It’s also what Feanaro would have wanted.

2. Feanaro is only one more letter than Feanor, you don’t even have to put the accents if you don’t feel like it. Come on! It’s not that hard

3. Feanaro probably never had a reason (canonically) to Sindarize his name since the Quenya version is close enough the Sindarized one and he died too young. By calling him Feanaro you will also be reminding everyone else that he died before the rising of the Sun.

Day 2 of asking the Silmarillion fandom to call High King Fëanáro Curufinwe by his Quenya name

Thingol’s ban of Quenya is cultural erasure! Don’t support it! Don’t comply with it! Call Fëanáro, our language lord among the Noldorin royal family by his actual name! Make Fëanáro proud! Rebel against the ban!

Day 3 of asking the Silmarillion fandom to call Fëanáro by his Quenya name

Do you think he would have been happy about the Sindarization if it lead to not using Quenya at all? Do you think he would have complied with a language ban made by someone hiding behind his wife’s (who happens to a Maia) walls? The answer is no. Do what Fëanáro would have done - don’t comply with Thingol’s ban!

Day 4 of asking the silmarillion fandom to call Fëanáro by his Quenya name

Look, we are already spelling it with absolutely different alphabet. Let’s not push things

Day 5 or asking the Silmarillion fandom to call Fëanáro by his Quenya name

Guy is a king of the Noldor, his name is too short since he died before it became fashionable to stick Finwë in front of your name. Let’s not shorten it further via Sindarization.

Day 6 of asking Silmarillion fans to call Fëanáro by his Quenya name

It shows knowledge of the book and the related linguistic problems and it’s amazing way to introduce your friends to the languages Tolkien invented

Day 7 of asking Silmarillion fandom to call Fëanáro by his Quenya name

Don’t disappoint the language lord! Show respect towards his language and actively but peacefully fight Thingol’s ban (aka the erasure of Noldorin culture)

Ok but consider; Elrond never talks about Kidnap Fam but everyone else can see it in him.

Like, while renovating building Imladris as a Homely House, Elrond decides to build a hall just for music and poetry stuff. Which is nornal for an elven city, but then he calls it the Hall of Fire and his soldiers side-eye themselves like, Should We Talk About This? And they collectively decide not to ask.

Another time, Elrond is introducing a more effective filing system, and all of the ex-feanorians just stare at Maedhros’ Paperwork Filing System. Elrond doesn’t say where he learned it and nobody asks because how would you even bring up your lord’s odd childhood maybe-trauma?

And again, domestic servants hear Elrond singing to his children and some of them have to tightly grip the baskets they hold, because those are battle songs turned into lullabies. Those are the songs that were used to crumble towers and make ears bleed, and here they are, but revised and softened to be children’s lullabies.

Elrond act normal challenge successfully failed

I am frankly just a little bit baffled that Sauron thought Shelob daughter of Ungoliant was a great ally for him to have, given... historical precedent

He was in his 'having a hard time bc bf left him' phrase. Her mom disliked his bf, Shelob is instant ally material. What says I hate you to ex more than befriending ex's biggest fear and not any fear inducing being but the daughter of the OG Fear TM?

Does he even need a caption? Finrod Felagund, blorbo supreme.

...I'm not entirely satisfied with him but it'll have to do. Click for quality, et cetera.

Oh,,,,,,I adore your take. He looks great, very angelic. Kinda did a sketch a year ago of a snake and her pet elf (Angaráto).

god, GOD Freddie Mercury was such a fucking badass

This doesn’t do the moment justice. He took the swig of vodka, said “I’ll fucking do it darling”, and then ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT in one fucking take

Mood for 2019: “I’ll fucking do it, darling.”

i could never be a demigod because quests are literally only for morning people. like why do i have to wake up at the ass crack of dawn just to head to my imminent death with a side of eternal damnation. waking up that early is already punishment enough for paying the debt of my half-godly existence.

OP you could be a demigod! You will just be a child of Hypnos or Morpheus or Somnus, not of Apollo.

Okay but what if in the Athenian au, when Perse goes to Athens especially the Parthenon she has an Anastasia- once upon a December moment

I mean… you’re not wrong…

What if on instinct, Percy goes through the motions of the high priestess much to the confusion and awe of the others. She’s in a vague dreamlike haze in between memory and time

They’re visiting Delos and Percy starts randomly humming a tune of a song Apollo wrote for her, maybe it’s the one he used to beat Marsyas or another. Or upon see the Parthenon she begins humming one of the hymns of her birth her mother wrote for her and the scent of incense begins fogging her mind as she sees the Parthenos from old eyes in its original home.

you know how in the mummy returns where evie is walking through the temple and pulling on secret levers but she has no idea why she's doing it? yeah that's percy

percy thinking she's lost it after tartarus when she sees a fully furnished parthenon before her and not ruins

The Hermes statue is actually down there because the god sacrificed it when she went missing so that should she be stuck down there, she could communicate or, at the very least, get sustenance from his willingly (and so uncommon for a god) shared sacrifices

hermes doing that when she first goes missing and forgetting about it until he hears how the athenide lookalike and her best friend/sister in arms survived because they ate the food that was sacrificed to him down in the pit

Hermes, feeling someone trying to take from the sacrificed by his children food: WHO DARES TO---

Hermes, seeing it's a demigod Athenide look alike: It's okay, darling, your sister would have adored you. Do you want more food? You are getting more food *moves bunch of offerings from his other Temples to Tartarus*. And ambrosia and nectar. Wait, I think I have a nice armor one king of Ancient Greece gave me. *searching noise*. Here are some good knives, it's important to have back-up weapons down there. You staying for the night? Great, sweet dreams. *runs to Poseidon* Can you get some of the cyclops to sacrifice *lists things one might need on a long trip in hell*? Your daughter is in the temple I threw in Tartarus back in the day.

perhaps this is just me but i think maybe you should not name your child after the ancient roman god of cattle whose name is pronounced something like "boob-oh-na"
