Haleth - Blog Posts
We all know that Halenthir has impeccable vibes, but no one can convince me that Haleth isn't a raging lesbian. Luckily, there's an obvious solution to this problem: transfem Caranthir. In this essay I will-
Haleth: heavy is the chest that bears the tits, or however that saying goes.
Caranthir: ...not like that.
Haleth for @epsilonium! I hope you like her and forgive my inability to draw backgrounds. Happy Holidays! Drawn as a part of the @tolkiensecretartexchange which is a wonderful thing!

Silmarillion headcanons #2
So yeah, I have some headcanons regarding the races of different tribes of Elves and Men that imo would work if we adapted Silm as a series or anime, as them being all white is... boring
Seriously: boring af and it's not acceptable
I have some reasonings for my decisions, but most of them were made only bc of THE ALMIGHTY VIBES
inb4: I would like to say that I wanted it to be as respectful to all the races as possible (their history and culture), but if I made a mistake of some sort, plz call me out
So let's start from the beginning
ELVES
Noldor
White
I made this decision tbh purely on the fact that the only red heads we know come from the Noldor (Mahtan, Maedhros, unoficially Nerdanel)
Also, let's be honest
They jumped on a ship in order to gain new territories and kingdoms..........
Vanyar
Black
It's not my headcanon and I've seen that one is popular in the fandom as Indis being black makes Fingolfin (&Finarfin, Lalwen and Findis) mixed and therefore allows us to have mixed!Fingon with his beautiful braids ♡
Also, I imagine that the 'golden hair issue' may be solved with:
Vanyar looking black but having golden hair. They are Elves, not human, they don't have to look the same
Ooooor (and I like this hc better)
Putting gold flakes or golden ribbons (ekhem Fingon) just being very fashionable among the Vanyar
Or both tbh
Teleri & Sindar
East Asian
I've put them together as one race in order to show the closeness of these two tribes (as Elwe and Olwe were brothers) to the viewer bc it would make the tragedy of Thingol finding out about Alqualonde even more dramatic
Also, traditional East Asian ships fit the artistry of Telerin ships soooo well
This one is Chinese
On top of that, I LOOOVE the sound of the Chinese bamboo flute and plz Daeron has to play it
Plus, beautiful flowy dresses (a hanfu in the pic)& jewelery from Eastern Asia would be PERFECT for Luthien, you can't disagree bc I'm right
And we can always make their hair white/gray/blond if we need to
MEN
House of Beör
White, cause it's said they resemble the Noldor afaik
Gotta be consequent
more Mediterranean tho to give them their iconic brown hair
House of Hador
Southern Asian
Numenor has to resemble this kind of architecture and give THE VIBES, okay??
Ughhhh the 'blond hair issue' again
Okay, idc how they are described, they can dye their hair I guess, making them white would ruin my concept
House of Haleth
Native Americans
I have one reason & one reason only!!!
NATIVE AMERICAN HALETH
