Tumblr crosspost (22 December 2020)

[anghraine]

I reblogged a post originally from sauronnaise asking Silm fandom to make a "brief but unhelpful" summary of The Silmarillion for The Hobbit+LOTR fandom. Silm fandom tends to be overwhelmingly focused on Elvish characters in The Silmarillion, especially the Noldor, and insistent that characters with big fanbases like Fëanor are more central to The Silmarillion (or even the Silm+LOTR) than I think they are, so at least the first posts focused on them. jubaah then responded:

Dunedain tragic backstory

I reblogged from her and added:

#'dúnedain tragic backstory' is the best and most accurate :P
