I ran across the name of my GW2 PC in the Metamorphoses—Althea, who in Ovid’s version is a woman who loves her brothers enough to straight-up murder her son after he kills them in a (very stupid) fight.

(Then she stabs herself and her grief-stricken daughters get turned into guinea hens, because this is the Metamorphoses.)

I reblogged this art of Finwë and Indis's daughter Lalwen (properly Írimë or Lalwendë, but known by the shortened form in Middle-earth) and tagged it:

#ooh i like #this could very well be the face of someone who would cross the helcaraxë out of pure loyalty

(no subject)

I don't really feel moved to write fic about Lalwen, but I'm so intrigued by the way the Lalwen-Fingolfin-Anairë-Eärwen situation wound out—Lalwen sticking with her brother while his wife stuck with her BFF. It's not that we should assume Fingolfin and Anairë didn't love each other or whatnot, but it's an interesting case where we see the force that platonic relationships can exert as well as romantic ones.

Lalwen really deserves a “world’s best sister” mug.
