i cannot WAIT to write the scene from bbom where the pc + gandalf go to check on the arkenstone

#now usually i don't hc that silmaril = arkenstone #mostly because that means it's either maglor's silmaril [unlikely since it was yeeted into the sea] #or maedhros' [slightly more likely imo] #even though he cast it [+ himself] into a flaming chasm right after/during war of wrath when beleriand was sinking #so idk if he'd've had the chance to yeet himself anywhere remotely close to erebor #it could be possible that the lonely mountain was Like That because it was created when eru made the world round in the end of the 2nd age #anyway that's beside the point because if it is a silmaril that means maedhros' body/skeleton is probably hanging out inside the caverns #which THAT'S a horror story in & of itself #and i may be mean but i'm not THAT mean to make morinel deal with That #ANYWAY #i may do a one shot set in an au where it is tho because #it'd be [focusing on the silmaril and not potential-maedhros-skeleton] funny #esp because a couple elves in felegoth are like #'oh yeah thranduil thought the arkenstone was a silmaril at first and we weren't friends for a while w/ dwarves over it' #which definitely almost gives morinel hives #[not in an i'm going to try to take it way but in an 'excuse me he thought WHAT'] #actually... she probably lowkey hates the damn things. and feels really guilty about hating them #meanwhile sae knows more than she did in vol 1 but she's still kinda confused #sticky note tag #writing tag #due to the tag vomit on morinel's *gestures vaguely* whole deal
