I love how Tolkien always punishes the men who mistreat women in Middle-earth. For all the evidence of sexism in his work, besides the amazing female characters he does include, fate in Arda always rewards chivalry and punishes sexual abuse.

One of many things that make Aragorn a hero is that he remains faithful to Arwen, even when being pursued by another woman.

One of many things that make Faramir a hero is that he treats Éowyn as an equal and showers her with the respect she deserves.

And both men live long, happy lives.

Whereas the chauvinists have…different outcomes.

Eöl is punished by death for being so awful a husband to Aredhel that she and their son had to flee from him.

Maeglin himself intentionally gets Gondolin destroyed just because he is lusting after Idril and trying to steal her when she is happily married to someone else, and his ultimate kidnapping attempt causes him to end up at the bottom of a cliff.

Ar-Pharazôn’s comeuppance for forcing Tar-Míriel into marriage and stealing her rightful crown is a total wipeout by Eru Ilúvatar himself.

Tolkien really said “Predators and abusive husbands shall never go unpunished.” 🎉👏🏻

Sauron reveals himself to Ar-Pharazôn. From @elfscribe's Elegy for Númenor, v.1.

Headcannon:

In Numenor the Fëanorians are remembered as tragic characters/heroes.

They talk all about their crimes all right. But they also talk about their tragedy and their pain and the world being set against them from the very start.

The Fëanorians aren't some boogyman. They are protectors who broke, who couldn't go on and stumbled down a line they shouldn't.

They are the symbol of oath wrongly sworn. They symbolise the importance of oaths' and they caution all who attempt to swear something.

The Fëanorians aren't just kinslayers. They are so much more. And that knowledge is passed down all the way to Gondor.

Spare a thought for the cartographers of Pelargir who had to throw out literally every map ever done of their lovely, simple, flat Middle Earth because now the whole fucking thing has been stretched around a globe (???) and this fucking Merenor guy has come up with this infuriating cylinder projection that, whilst vital for nautical maps in order to keep every line as a constant bearing, now means you have to draw the Forodwaith like 35% bigger than it actually is and you’re sure the religious trauma is bad for some people and okay there’re two new kingdoms now and Numenor is destroyed or whatever but you REALLY don’t have time to think about that because you’ve gotta fucking REINVENT THE WHEEL OF CARTOGRAPHY suddenly at the ripe old age 210 because some jolly mathematician in Umbar confirmed using two pillars 158 lár apart that the shadows are different lengths at the same time of day now, which means not ONLY has Arda become round, but we have an approximate circumference of about 4153 lár WHICH IS A FIGURE YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU’D BE ABLE TO GET and now you owe that blasted Elvedui fellow 200 castar over a drunk bet you made 100 years ago that Arda was only 2000 lár long from west to east that you didn’t actually believe you just thought it was funny when he got so angry about it TRULY!! You are suffering more than Turin Turambar right now.

Mairon talking to his Melkor statue on Númenor like Gollum talks to the ring in increasingly unhinged soliloquies

Illustrating a character is fun, but I also need to design the environment. So here is a sketch of a Numenorean outpost

ATLAS OF ARDA ⇢ THE REGIONS OF NÚMENOR

The land of Númenor resembled in outline a five-pointed star, or pentangle, with a central portion some two hundred and fifty miles across, north and south, and east and west, from which extended five large peninsular promontories. These promontories were regarded as separate regions, and they were named Forostar (Northlands), Andustar (Westlands), Hyarnustar (Southwestlands), Hyarrostar (Southeastlands), and Orrostar (Eastlands). The central portion was called Mittalmar (Inlands), and it had no coast, except the land about Rómenna and the head of its firth.
