þank you

Who let Feanor have a tumblr??

Are you protesting þis?

We are not starting another riot over this. This is not going to end with someone making three jewels, swearing an oath and murdering people over some boats. I’m warning you.

“Tears unnumbered ye shall shed…” Remember that little bit?

I’m fucking warning you.

PS. Seriously, no more mass murders with poetic names, or I’ll go full “Captain of the Host of the West” on your asses and you won’t be happy about it… 

I wanna make some pretty jewels!

Guyþ if Feanor haþ a Tumblr it lookþ þomething like thiþ.

please, please, someone help me out here because i’m broke as shit and can’t afford a copy of peoples of middle-earth to look up the actual shibboleth story – was the linguistic shift addressed by the shibboleth only applied to the unvoiced dental fricative (thulë)? the tengwar suggests that the shibboleth would only come into play when the root of a word was spelled with a thulë, and that any words spelled with a silmë would retain the voiced alveolar fricative (s-sound). 

tl;dr: in fëanárian quenya, do all s-sounds become thorns? or just those whose roots contain a thulë? the consonant morphology available on tolkiengateway suggests the latter but literally everyone on tumblr seems to be saying it’s all s’s, whether thulë or silmë. pls help @verymaedhros @alia-andreth @incorrect-middleearth-quotes y’all seem like you know what you’re doing

It’s just those whose roots contain a thulë, or rather, just those that are spelled with a thulë when using tengwar. Unfortunately the English alphabet contains neither thulë nir silmë so if people obeyed those rules in their jokes it wouldn’t be funny anymore.

I love this post because it’s basically

OP: “hey guise let’s have a recreational fight about language”

Silmarillion fandom: *piles out of a clown-car ship with armfuls of miruvor, swords and diacritical marks* did sOMEONE SAY FIGHT ABOUT LANGUAGE

We then set the ship on fire, as is tradition.
