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.” 🎉👏🏻

@merilles made me feral about the idea of Tar-Míriel being the Witch-King of Angmar so I had to draw it

I've now been laughing at the "fair count" (see this post by @lemoneyshipz; credit for the counting goes to Febbb__ from weibo) - as in which Tolkien characters have been described as fair in the book and how many times - for two days straight... buuut how about we, the fans, get our own opinions in too?

(I excluded the groups of people to get as many characters on this as Tumblr lets me)

((Still couldn't fit them all, so honorable mentions go to Thingol, Celegorm and Indis))

(((Edit for clarity: The selection of characters is based on the list as seen in the post I'm referring to. To my understanding it in turn is counting mentions in the Silmarillion (aka "the book" for us Silm fans). See also the tags)))

There came a lady clad in grey

in the twilight shining:

one moment she would stand and stay,

her hair with flowers entwining.

He woke, as had he sprung of stone,

and broke the spell that bound him;

he clasped her fast, both flesh and bone,

and wrapped her shadow round him.

~ The Shadow Bride, J. R. R. Tolkien

The ASOIAF fandom is so funny about discourse; both in topics and reactions. The other main fandom I frequent on Tumblr is Tolkien, and the difference is remarkable.

For instance, in the story of the Fall of Numenor, there's a story about the usurpation of a woman that leads to tragedy. I'm talking, of course, about Tar-Míriel. She was the rightful queen of Numenor, but was usurped by her cousin Ar-Pharazôn, who caused the destruction of Numenor.

There is not a single person in the Tolken fandom who argues that Ar-Pharazôn was in the right, was actually a good person, or that Tar-Míriel deserved to be usurped. Granted, the story isn't actually the same as that of the Dance, but the bare bones are pretty similar.

Tar-Míriel isn't a morally gray character like Rhaenyra, in fact we know very little about her, but the parts we do know are good. However, both Rhaenyra and Tar-Míriel were declared their fathers' heirs despite the existence of close male relatives. They were both usurped and ultimately killed (Míriel indirectly) by a male relative.

Ar-Pharazôn and Aegon II are both written as almost cartoonishly evil. They both were horrible rulers and warmongers. Their reigns caused massive tragedies; Aegon II and his faction caused the deaths of the dragons and Ar-Pharazôn's actions caused Iluvatar to destroy Numenor.

Now, I'm not saying that these two stories are meant to be connected or paralleled, they simple capture a similar story pattern rooted in history. My point is that the ASOIAF fandom has a major issue.

The greens are not secretly heroes, good people, or morally superior to the blacks in any way, shape, or form. The obsession of the ASOIAF fandom to turn them into more "sympathetic" characters is ridiculous. Fandoms like the Tolkien one are able to embrace a character being a villain without trying to turn them into a hero.

It's so frustrating because this obsession with making the greens into protagonists damages fandom discourse. It's turned the Dance into a cheap "choose your team" issue, rather than a story of the damage of misogyny, the patriarchy, and warring lords. The arguments over which team is right is absurd and creates a space were misogyny is fostered and encouraged (even some TB fans)

I know, a majority of my posts are complaining about TG and their stans, so I'm guilty of perpetuating the cycle. But there's a difference between analysis of a character and arguing with people's rotten takes and just reducing the story to team discourse; I try my best to avoid the latter.

I'm sure a large part of this issue can be traced to HOTD, but I think it's indicative of deeper problem in the fandom. People reduce the issues in the main books to "who's gonna take the throne" rather than actually addressing things. They're so comfortable spouting misogyny in regards to Daenerys and Arya. The ASOIAF fandom has deeper issues that are being exacerbated by the writing decisions of HOTD and, before that, GOT.

Tar-Miriel; Last Rightful Ruler of Numenor

The Strelitzia flower symbolizes freedom, and also represents immortality. White symbolizes purity and death depending on where you are in the world. Pearls symbolize faith - it was once believed pearls were angel tears collected by oysters and it is therefore bad luck to wear them and will bring you misery and sorrow (they were also usually blamed for an unhappy marriage).
