I wonder how many, if any, elements of LOTR we have Edith to thank for.
I mean, her husband was writing this stuff throughout their entire marriage, and he must’ve run some of it by her, if not all of it. Plus he based an entire character (Lúthien) on her, which she must’ve known. I wouldn’t be surprised if she looked over an early draft of LOTR and said “honey, come on, put an interesting female character somewhere in here,” a wish he most certainly granted with my girl Éowyn.
I’ve heard rumors that JRR originally intended to pair Aragorn and Éowyn as a couple and then tragically kill off Éowyn, but Edith said “no way you’re making it that depressing” and insisted he change it. I’m not sure if this is true, but if so, thank you, Edith!
Also this may be a stretch - and it probably is - but I wonder if she had something to do with his drastic changes to the Blue Wizards’ story. In the 50s he wrote that they probably fell to Sauron and started evil magic cults; perhaps towards the end of their lives, Edith said “honey, come on, they had to have been more helpful than that.” It was 1972, the year after Edith passed, that JRR wrote his updates to the Blue Wizards saying they were actually successful in turning many Easterlings away from Sauron. Perhaps he did so to honor an idea of hers?
If anyone has any sources mentioning any contribution from Edith, I’d love to hear about it.

what she says: i'm fine
what she means: j.r.r. tolkien based luthien the fair, THE most beautiful, wonderful, brave, amazing, loved woman middle earth had supposedly ever seen and ever will see, on his wife, edith. dark-haired, gray-eyed edith, who just looked like a person. a regular person. she was a regular person, not a deathless elf maiden, but to tolkien, she was the most beautiful woman in the world. and she was, because he loved her. his love made her beautiful. he wrote to his son after she died "but the story has gone crooked, & I am left, and I cannot plead before the inexorable Mandos." grief is the price of love. anything that is loved is beautiful.

captured moments before melkor gets zonked by princess girlboss lúthien.
i choose to believe she wasn't threatened because he probably gave off "girl ur better than this" vibes. im sure he was equally surprised as thingol to see luthien try so hard to die for Beren LMFAO
wolf beren isn't there bc hes peeing behind the throne.
also PLEASE take my melkor design and eat him and put him in an apron please. ill do a character sheet for him when i remember to

"Luthien, the glory of Beleriand! Beautiful, she danced upon the grass While Beren watched her. His pain vanished And because of Luthien, he fell under a spell. Clad in blue like the sky, Her eyes gray and hair black. White as the dawn in Aman... Of the children of Ilúvatar... the most beautiful".
2019 december.

Luthien Tinuviel.
Here is, more or less my illustration of Luthien. Depicting the lengthening hair spell to create a shadow-like robe. As mentioned in the Lay of Leithian "for she put forth her arts of enchantment, and caused her hair to grow to great length, and of it she wove a dark robe that wrapped her beauty like a shadow, and it was laden with a spell of sleep"
