Heyy, first of all, I love your destroying-the-ring-releases-Melkor-au-idea. The concept is great and hilarious!

I was just wondering if Gil-Galad being Maglor's son was based on any personal headcanons or just ideas of yours?

I must admit that I was kind of surprised (not negatively) by this choice since you majorly write Maglor/Eönwë (at least atm).

Yessssss. Hello, I am always glad to get questions. Particularly about Maglor.

‘Gil-Galad as Maglor’s son but Fingon raised him because Maglor wanted to protect him from the Doom’ is mostly because of @nikol-nikiforova.

We have this running idea that Maglor gets mistaken for Fingolfin’s son a lot, because he hangs out with Fingolfin and looks the most like him (of Fëanor’s sons). So when Maglor knocked a girl up he took the kid to Fingolfin for help (he didn’t want the Oath to hurt his child, and at that point his brothers were still 100% into thinking the Oath was a great idea, so he couldn’t go to them). Fingolfin considered claiming the kid was his own, but he couldn’t bring himself to claim that he hadn’t been faithful to Amarië.

So while Fingolfin and Maglor are stressing out over what they’re gonna do with this kid, Fingon waltzes in and Fingolfin has an idea. You see, Fingon had been away for a while, exploring Beleriand, and he got back late at night, so there wasn’t a huge party to greet him. So they just tell everyone that Fingon knocked someone up while he was exploring and brought Gil-Galad back with him.

And it sort of works. For a few years it goes great. Maglor comes by often to visit, or Fingon takes Gil-Galad to the Gap, and everyone is happy. Maedhros eventually figures out that the kid is definitely not Fingon’s, and then he sees Maglor playing with him and goes ‘ohhhhhh’ but other than that the Feanorians don’t know.

The plan was to tell Gil-Galad who his real dad was eventually, but then Fingolfin and Fingon died and Maglor went east with the sons of Fëanor, so Gil-Galad is raised thinking Fingon is his dad.

The next time Maglor sees his son is when he’s taking Elrond and Elros to Balar, and by that time Gil-Galad hates him. He blames the Feanorians for Fingon’s death (The Union of Maedhros) and he saw Sirion after the Kinslaying and saw the destruction there.

Elrond and Elros were never told of Maglor’s connection to Gil-Galad, but they figured it out (or, Elrond figured it out and told his brother). They saw how Maglor would react whenever someone mentioned Gil-Galad (and they saw his face when Gil-Galad spat at him and called him a Kinslayer and a monster).

And then Maglor leaves at the end of the First Age, and poor Elrond doesn’t know how to go about telling Gil-Galad his suspicions. He has no proof, after all, and everyone agrees that Gil-Galad looks like Fingon, so no one questions that he is Fingon’s son.

Also, for bonus angst: Gil-Galad would have inherited Maglor’s voice, but they couldn’t explain where that came from if he was Fingon’s son, so he was never taught to wield Songs of Power. After his death, Maglor is left wondering if his son would have lived if he had been brave enough to face him and teach him to Sing.

Maglor and Eönwë

Maglor & Eönwë is definitely my favorite ship at the moment, but I typically write Maglor as being something of a ladies’ man, particularly during the First Age (its how he deals with his trauma).

So Gil-Galad is probably just the son of Maglor’s girlfriend of the week (because I ignore LACE and NOME, clearly, because thats fun).

Maglor’s Wife

Canonically he has an unnamed wife. I believe Tolkien’s phrasing was something along the lines of ‘he is most likely married’ which, to me, says even Tolkien was like ‘this man can GET IT’

But I don’t (usually) use her as a character.

I once joked that Maglor’s wife doesn’t exist, that he just made her up because he wanted to tell some mortals about Elrond and Elros, but he didn’t want to explain how he acquired them, so he just said ‘no they’re mine and my… my wife’s? Yeah, I have a wife. Definitely’ and then whenever he told stories he would just swap Maedhros out for an unnamed wife.

It started as a joke but now it’s my personal headcanon.

Gil-Galad as Eönwë’s Son?

It is likely? No. Does it make sense? No.

Would it be amazing? YES.

Even funnier if it’s Fingon trying to pass off a half-Maia child as his own.

Although then I would have no idea how they GOT Gil-Galad since Eönwë was in Valinor during the First Age.

Actually, no, I do know, Fingon ran into Eönwë and got ahold of baby Gil-Galad shortly after Aqualonde, promising to take him across the sea to Maglor. Except then the boats burned and Fingon had to take the fucking Eldritch horror half-Maia kid across the Ice, while trying to convince people it was actually his own kid.

Fingon: No this is mine

Argon: it… it has feathers

Fingon: Can you prove I don’t have feathers?

So they get across the Ice with this horror child and Maglor is the depressed and borderline suicidal Prince Regent, and Gil-Galad is pretty happy with Fingon, so Maglor and Fingon end up splitting custody.

hello i’m tae and this is my annoying son jaehyun who i literally birthed ?? pls love him and don’t be too mean to him even though he can be pretty mean himself. i’m in gmt+1 timezone and i love suffering & angst? i especially love it when my muse is suffering more than i am so pls hmu with those angsty plots. i haven’t been on tumblr rp for the majority of this year so pls be patient with me while i get back into the swing of things, i’m also not so good at talking about myself ooc so i’m gonna go ahead and jump into info about jae!! under the cut is just some basic outline info of his personality... full stats and some plots/potential connections will be added up shortly too. thnx for listening

hwang jaehyun, 23, concept artist and ugly fucking aquarius

(he doesn’t really have a hugely tragic background besides his parents being majorly ugly)

pls dont try to talk to him about your feelings just yet unless you want him to run away.

he struggles w/ his own emotions and can’t really handle listening to other peoples feelings bc who signed up for that? probably not jaehyun

pretty untrusting and unwilling about allowing people too close to him, i’d imagine he has some close friends but it might be difficult for new ones to get super close to him without a lot of effort on their part and proving to him that they won’t just abandon him and his friendship?? #trustissues

once you get him talking, he’ll never stop, especially if it’s about a topic he’s really interested in or feels passionately about.

works as a concept artist so most of his work is digital art atm but does a lot of freelance & commission work on the side. Knows he’s a good artist and doesn’t fuck w/ pretending to be modest about his work. dabbles in sculpting and legit painting, too but that’s mostly for freelance and commission work

pretty judgemental and finds it hard to accept that he could be wrong about something, kinda dogmatic if i’m being honest but if he likes you then he’s more willing to let it go and admit he was wrong. tho if you disagree with him about something he really thinks he’s right about or is passionate about then you can expect to see steam coming from his ears within 0.01 seconds since he gets mad pretty quickly.

generally quick to annoy but he does his best at hiding it? which brings me to the point that he usually wears his heart on his sleeve w/ people he’s comfortable with.

i guess if he likes you, not romantically but just in general, then he’s just soft as fuck

his family is wealthy upper class, living and working in seoul. they own a big chain pharmaceutical company and they wanted him to take over once his father retired, which he was originally going to do, he studied business in college for about a year before realising it made him fucking miserable and stressed and dropped out without consulting his parents.

lied about still being enrolled while actually enrolling in an arts program. originally found his passion for art during high school, where he joined an after class art club and excelled straight away. he told his parents about it but they never really took it seriously?? he even invited them to one of the schools art exhibitions but they never turned up.

this all caused them to essentially cut him off and refused to talk to him for a few years. they tried to reconnect w/ him and attempt contact with him but he rejects their calls, dodges them if they tried to visit and doesn’t visit them during the holidays or special occasions.

he has three younger sisters who he’s still in contact with though, it’s mainly his parents he wants to avoid. his fathers health is rapidly deteriorating and he’s starting to feel badly about not being in contact w/ them but *shrug* he hates them so it’s not really his issue anymore, right?

there’s a lot more angsty shit to his background but i’m not going to detail it here because it’s not info that jaehyun would just tell anyone, he’s pretty secretive about his past (for literally no damn reason) and only talks about it if he really needs to. you’ll have to get to know him to find out or wait for his full length history :3

moved to jeju to get some peace and quiet so he could work without too many stresses in his life tho *idk if thats going well for him or not* (give me a roommate plot??)

literally stays up all night long watching vine compilations and furiously playing uno on his phone instead of working (this is legit information pls take it seriously)

obviously a night owl and lives on 50 cups of coffee a day. also constantly has a bad back from being hunched over his desk 24/7

loves having a muse and someone who inspires him?? he might not be painting portraits of them all over his apartment but he def would incorporate parts of them into his character designs or just create art in general that reminds him of them

also literally tries his hardest to convince people he just doesn’t care about anything or anyone??? and u know what, sometimes he actually doesn’t care but he says it so often that it’s hard to tell when he’s being truthful about it, even he can struggle to tell at this point.

he’s very spontaneous?? moving to jeju was just a sudden decision on his part and he doesn’t really consult other people before doing stuff? he just does it and then if it goes wrong or he has to suffer consequences then ig he’ll suffer

kinda apathetic and uncaring, honestly. he doesn’t have much patience for people being idiotic and doesn’t necessarily always feel bad about doing or saying something that might hurt other people.

tho if he likes you (yes this again) he’ll probably feel bad straight away but that doesn’t mean you can expect an apology from him

if you really hurt him, he’ll probably give you another chance because he just really can’t stand the idea of being alone??? tho he won’t ever forget what you did to hurt him

i’m tired now so i’m going back to sleep but jaehyun is just a hard shell w/ a semi soft inside (i say semi soft because there’s still some push and pull even if he opens up) who needs to be loved so pls....

anyway that’s it i’m going back to bed now. my plots will be up soon but pls feel free to msg/im me for plotting/connections!!!

#islandintro #i hope this shows up in the tag #ooc
