Tumblr crosspost (15 October 2020)
Tar-Ancalimë: very lesbian, though her society is heteronormative enough that it takes her awhile to grasp, esp because she dislikes men generally. There’s a certain amount of vying to be one of her “favorites.”
Tar-Telperiën: very ace. She has always known this.
Tar-Vanimeldë: pan and cheerful about it. She and Herucalmo have a sort of technically open relationship, in that he’s mostly just into power and doesn’t have affairs of his own, but also doesn’t care if she does.
Tar-Míriel: very, very quietly bi. She has an equally quiet ~special friendship~ with one of her handmaidens, who is bold enough to call her Míriel when they’re alone. They’re strong enough in mind and careful enough to hide it even from Sauron, and it’s a little spot of joy in Míriel’s terrible life.
