Oh my god, okay, maybe top 5 second hand embarrassment moments in the silm, if it’s not too mortifying

gurguliare:

holy shit you just keep making these tougher. UM. LET ME SEE.

1. everything from “tall helms with plumes of red” to fingolfin trying to make a clean exit and fëanor following him because he isn’t done yelling
2. fëanor dies
3. finrod throwing his crown on the ground
4. turin like, leading mim at spearpoint DIRECTLY into the room where mim’s son is dying, it turns out
5. when maeglin makes dire insinuations at hurin & huor about the security of gondolin, and hurin’s like, “The King’s grace is great indeed; but if our
   word is not enough, then we will swear oaths to you.” and huor’s like “im 14”

OR IS IT MAEGLIN FALLING OFF DRAMATIC IRONY PARAPET. to be honest. i cannot decide.
