"And Melkor entered his realm. And the Dark bowed before its Lord, and came apart in the light of Silmarilli. The creatures of the night prostrated themselves on the ground in hopes that they would be spared and his heavy gaze wouldn’t fall on them. Sauron bowed low, pinned down by the terror that like a cape was draped over the Fallen Vala. He relinquished all the power he held in his absence and laid it for him, as a servant must." An illistraion for the "Play with fire" fanfic by @eternal-fear

Can you imagine the irrepressible delight that Aulë had when Legolas rocked up to the Undying Lands with a Dwarf.

Okay but. A movie/show adaptation of the Silmarillion where we never ever see the Silmarils. The closest we ever come is when Maedhros and Maglor steal them, in a chest, and we only see light coming out of the chest, never the stones.

They're such a beautiful light that nothing would do them justice, right? The whole scene of Beren cutting out the Silmaril is focused on Lúthien singing and Morgoth's hand twitching while Beren is muttering off-screen ("Manwë's butt, the cursed knife broke!"). Fëanor announces the creation of the Silmaril in public but he's seen from the back the entire time, we never see him wear them. Beren's severed hand comes out of Carcharoth's stomach with the fist closed around the stone, we can only glimpse the light.

We similarly never properly see Morgoth, or any of the Valar, they're always hooded/we only see their hands or feet or silhouette from very far away. We see no more of the two Trees than representations in stone or paintings, and the whole Valinor part is probably narrated by a voice-over, and maybe even entirely told through a visual framing that means we never see it either (paintings? theatre play? puppet show? idk there are plenty of options).

At the end we're left to wonder if the Silmarils ever really existed, if the Valar really waged war, or if it's all just a story the elves told to justify their endless wars...

My hot take is that Maedhros and Maglor would not be all that suprised that Silmarils burned them - they know what they did.

But. They would, completely irrationally, be suprised that Silmarils burned their brother.

#they each believe that the other one is a better person than them #and obviously not deserving of burning unlike them #you would think they know better #so did they #yet here we are #they are so unwell about each other #maedhros #maglor #silmarils #silmarillion #silm

The Silmarils

And the inner fire of the Silmarils Feanor made of the blended light of the Trees of Valinor, which lives in them yet, though the Trees have long withered and shine no more. Therefore even in the darkness of the deepest treasury the Silmarils of their own radiance shone like the stars of Varda; and yet, as were they indeed living things, they rejoiced in light and received it and gave it back in hues more marvellous than before.

I'm so happy with this art, made 2 versions: with and without Morgoth.

the other day I was telling a friend about how much I enjoy Tolkien's work but when I got to the Silmarillion I accidentally said 'I love the silmarils'.

call that a feanorian slip

Alright, I've seen a lot of different descriptions and depictions in art, but I don't think this is actually settled in canon, so help me with something:

No "I want to see the results" you cowards, just make up your opinion on the spot if you don't have one.

I used round-shaped fruits but we also don't actually know the shape of the Silmarils, so assume for each answer that we're talking about whatever the largest diameter is in your shape of choice.
