Haha! 'Tis very true it wouldn't be as amusing to read without the comic relief added in.
Hmm, I went to Deviantart and tried looking for it myself, but couldn't find it. ![]()

Fëanor. Because it's great there are people who dare to question authority even at the risk of an eternal curse. Plus having your body consumed by the fire in your soul... who wouldn't like that?

![]() I have to say though, as much as I sometimes appreciate Fëanor it is Ungoliant whom I truly admire most. She did whatever she pleased and 'accomplished' amazing things. Silly Melkor and his pet Balrogs, she could have been a great recurring character. ![]() Last edited by Laurinquë; 10-17-2010 at 12:46 AM. Reason: red spiders |

Hmm. Well, as Felagund said, there's Galadriel, not to mention Éowyn, and then there's Aredhel too.

Haha, I could see many reactions to this piece of art as well, for those who don't know Fingon that is. 1. Sword and sheath. Check. 2. Helmet with the complete protective armour. Check. 3. Knife. Check 4. Bow and a quiver of arrows. Check. 5. A harp for musical entertainment. Che-wait, what? Really? A harp?! ![]()

Off the top of my head, Mîm the Dwarf. There's so many interesting shades and facets to him - his mysterious backstory as the last (?) of a race of outcasts, whose history is only hinted at, his resentment (not quite unjustified) of the Elvish upstarts who displaced his people, his grudging respect for Túrin... And his dialogues with Túrin's outlaws in the Narn are just priceless.

Galadriel, Erendis, Tar-Ancalime, Éowyn, Aredhel... Yeah, but they all were slaves to their heteronormative patriarchal societies which basically forced a woman to get married and have kids, even made her believe she couldn't be happy without doing it.

![]() I think for Tolkien fans reading LotR, The Hobbit and The Silmarillion is a basic necessity. You can't understand anything otherwise! ![]()

![]() The Hobbit and Silmarillion are definite necessities to read beforehand. I read everything completely backwards (the trilogy first, then the hobbit and Sil.) the first time around and was so confused, it wasn't even funny!

Oh god I can identify with that. I should have read The Hobbit first, and THEN the Silmarillion and THEN Lord of the Rings...but I read LotR first (at the nagging of my mother for which I am terribly grateful and for which she regrets her words) and then The Hobbit and then the Sil. Tragedy, really. I would have enjoyed it so much more like that.
