a note on the peculiarities of the lord of Himring by welcoming_disaster
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
04 May 2024

Summary
Let it not be said that the Lord of Himring is cruel, or unjust. Odd in his manner? Certainly. Temperamental and biting as the wind? Undeniably, and quite as cold. Trying, at times, and demanding in both his bearing and his expectations? Assuredly so; none at Himring castle would speak otherwise. Still is there is no cruelty in him towards his servants, and in that way he is unlike Curufin the Crafty, unlike those wild, fey twins that have gone eastwards, unlike most of all Celegorm, whose courts at once are merry and bitter, whose favor is a fickle, many-toothed thing. They say Celegorm is dangerous as a hound that has been beat for growling, for lunging; he gives no warning before he bites.
In that case—though let this not be spoken by the maidservants of Himring, who are not only punctual but endlessly proper and respectful in their manner, naturally—the Long of Himring might be a mastiff-bitch that whines and grunts and growls pacing the perimeter of the house, that stops now and then to sneak restless sleep by the fire, snorting and snoring, that scratches at the door first to be let outside and then immediately back in.

Summary
There are no harbors in which a star may dock. There is no place in Middle-Earth that might tolerate the brilliant blinding light of the gem nor the white fire of the ship upon landing. No intermediaries, even, who may bear mail down from the sky, except perhaps birds.
Elrond is almost sure it is birds, though he has never seen them.

Summary
Brush his hair. Run it through with the comb again and again, until it gives up all fight and lays limp and shiny in your hands. Braid it tight against his scalp and bind it with copper and with emerald and watch how it shimmers in the light.
Maedhros sits for the portrait. He’ll want to see it when he’s better, even if he doesn’t care now. He’ll think the hair looks nice.
