TOLKIEN LADIES: Berúthiel

Berúthiel lived in the King's House in Osgiliath, hating the sounds and smells of the sea and the house that Tarannon built below Pelargir "upon arches whose feet stood deep in the wide waters of Ethir Anduin;" she hated all making, all colours and elaborate adornment, wearing only black and silver and living in bare chambers, and the gardens of the house in Osgiliath were filled with tormented sculptures beneath cypresses and yews. She had nine black cats and one white, her slaves, with whom she conversed, or read their memories, setting them to discover all the dark secrets of Gondor, so that she knew those things "that men wish most to keep hidden," setting the white cat to spy upon the black, and tormenting them. No man in Gondor dared touch them; all were afraid of them, and cursed when they saw them pass.

I don’t think Beruthiel really tortured her cats. Her husband was just misogynistic and loved to lie

Obscure Tolkien Blorbo: Round 2

Berúthiel vs Pearl Took

Berúthiel:

A Queen of Gondor noted for her unhappy marriage and her cats.

An evil sorceress who is also a cat lady. Need I say more

Pearl Took:

The eldest sister of Pippin Took.

Ok but can you IMAGINE being Pippin Took's eldest sister. This girl DEFINITELY has eldest daughter syndrome. She dealt with it by casually murdering an elderly relative :)

Favourite Female Tolkien Character Poll - Round 2, Match 13

Berúthiel

A queen of Gondor remembered for her cats. From a note in Unfinished Tales:

She was the nefarious, solitary, and loveless wife of Tarannon, twelfth King of Gondor and first of the ‘ship-kings,’ who took the crown in the name of Falastur (‘Lord of the Coasts’), and was the first childless king. Berúthiel lived in the King’s House in Osgiliath, hating the sounds and smells of the sea and the house that Tarannon built below Pelargir ‘upon arches whose feet stood deep in the wide waters of Ethir Anduin’; she hated all making, all colours and elaborate adornment, wearing only black and silver and living in bare chambers, and the gardens of the house in Osgiliath were filled with tormented sculptures beneath cypresses and yews.

She had nine black cats and one white [my note: sonehow this feels like a metaphor/imagery for Sauron and the Ringwraiths], her slaves, with whom she conversed, or read their memories, setting them to discover all the dark secrets of Gondor, so that she knew those things ‘that men wish most to keep hidden’, setting the white cat to spy on the black, and tormenting them. No man in Gondor dared to touch them; all were afraid of them, and cursed when they saw them pass.

…her name was erased from the Book of the Kings…and King Tarannon had her set on a ship alone with her cats and set adrift on the sea before a north wind. The ship was last seen flying past Umbar under a sickle moon, with a cat at the masthead and another as a figure-head on the prow.

Fíriel of Gondor

The last surviving child of King Ondoher of Gondor, under Númenorean law she would have been the heir to the throne. She married Arvedui Last-king of Arnor, and he sought to claim the throne of Gondor in her name. He was refused, and the line of kings of Gondor ended two generations later, while the kingdom of Arnor ended with Arvedui.

Apparently no one argued that Fíriel herself rather than her husband should inherit the throne.

New icon, as promised! Queen Berúthiel, the much maligned. I have my own thoughts on her, but I'll talk about that another day!

[warthoong]

there are only what, two characters in Legendarium that have an actual PET pets. and that is Celegorm and Queen Berúthiel

#silmarillion #celegorm #I mean horses don't count because they are free creatures and because they are used as cars #also the closest to Celegorm are Orome and maybe Nessa #plus Sauron and Morgoth with their wolves and dragons #also there's tevildo... but he's a cat himself?... #beruthiel

[melestasflight]

Well, I confiscated every cat art from the Scribbles & Drabbles @fall-for-tolkien gallery, including Beruthiel's Tenth Spy by @anerea-lantiria, @cycas's Cats, Gorgumoth!, and @oak-hawthorn's The Adventures of Tevildo.

They resulted in this miniature story of Tevildo's many rebirths. Here's to the Prince of Cats! A character that deserved so much more! 😼

1, 8, 14 & 16?

1. Do you prefer writing one-shots or multi-chaptered fics?

Oh, one-shots for sure. I love reading multichaps, and I’ve got so many ideas for ones to write - and several that have been in progress for, uh, a while. But it’s really hard for me to actually finish longer projects, so one-shots are nicer and give me more of a sense of accomplishment.

8. Do you prefer the beginning, middle, or end of a story?

Huh, that’s a hard question. I guess I generally prefer writing the beginning? That’s when I’m the most fired up and excited about the story idea.

14. How do you write emotional scenes? Do you ever feel what the characters feel? Do you draw from personal experiences?

I just wallow in the feels, and I am so very dramatic about it. Sometimes I draw from personal experience, but generally the big thing is just that I’m identifying with the characters while I write. I tend to act out their body language to get a handle on what that would look like, too.

16. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Share one of them?

Oh, SO many! It’s hard to decide on just one to share! One I’m really excited about even though it’s coming along super slowly is my alternate character interpretation of Queen Berúthiel. When it’s done, it’ll follow her from childhood through to being set adrift by Tarannon. She’s heroic and Tarannon is villainous, but she’s misunderstood and disliked in Gondor due to racism against her Haradrim heritage, as well as her Autistic flat affect getting misinterpreted to mean that she’s uncaring. She’s a devotee of Nienna, and a lot of her more macabre canon behavior has to do with that - her garden full of tormented statues is her “mourning garden,” for instance, and she meditates there on the sorrows of the world.

Obscure Tolkien Blorbo: Round 3

Berúthiel vs Urwen

Berúthiel:

A Queen of Gondor noted for her unhappy marriage and her cats.

An evil sorceress who is also a cat lady. Need I say more

Urwen:

Also known as Lalaith, she was the elder daughter of Húrin and Morwen and died age three of the Evil Breath from Angband.

MY SWEET LAUGHING DAUGHTER SHE DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER

In response to her death, Hurin says this "Marrer of Middle-earth, would that I might see you face to face, and mar you as my lord Fingolfin did!' His love and subsequent loss of her is definitely a motivator, I think, for his later valiant defiance of Morgoth! So she may have died young but she had a big impact. (I mean if we want to apply the butterfly effect she kinda caused the fall of Nargothrond: motivated Hurin to deny Morgoth, got Turin cursed to give really bad advice about bridges, no more Nargothrond.  How many 3 year olds could claim that? Also more seriously, a lot of the deaths in the Silm are violent and awful. But we little of mundane, quiet deaths from sickness. A young child dying in this way stands out in its more realist tragedy. And it shows the subtler ways Morgoth sowed despair in middle earth and also that he knew the Edain were a threat. The 'evil breath' mostly killed 'the children or the rising youth in the houses of Men.'
