#Tuor might have gotten the girl and the baby but gondolin is still left in ashes

[hildorien]

Calling Tuor an Edain is always so funny to me, because he has no connection to that part of himself. He was raised by green elves for most of his life, and lived more of his life among elves than his own people.

He has no connection to the edain.

He’s more of an Green Elf who happens to be mortal.

That being said, it’s still pretty powerful Earendil wanted to be mortal. Even though by all realms of Logic he should have no connection to that history. It’s sad all he wanted was a ending and became a living prop for the rest of his life. Let this guy join his ancestors in the afterlife. Free him.

#I don’t think been subtle in my dislike of Tuor #I think it’s because people use him as a prop #like it’s always ‘he’s so much better than turin’ like I don’t care? #he’s got the personality of a saltine and a bunch of half finished drafts #Turin is the one of the most complex heroes tolkien ever wrote and his independent text is one of the most complete #like you can flex that Tuor got the baby and the girl but Túrin got the immortality #and no I don’t mean immortal as in elf immorality #I mean Túrin is remembered as a hero as a figure in history #like half of Gondor nobility is named after him #Orion is sad to be Túrin in arda’s sky #Turin is who men compare themselves too when they wanna be tough #ELROND TUOR OWN GRANDSON MENTIONS TÚRIN AS A GREAT ELF FRIEND OVER TUOR ITS SO FUNNY #Tuor might have gotten the girl and the baby but gondolin is still left in ashes #at least Túrin killed his dragon lol #anyway #tea with milk #Tuor #turin turambar #silm #edain #earendil got to be cool bc he got to kill a dragon like his much cooler uncle #earendil emo years when he wanted to be like Túrin and badly dyed his hair black #pls imagine lol
