Look, I just think it’s neat that the Númenórean sun looks a lot like Tolkien’s drawings of suns with their squiggly rays 🌞

“Do you know, I remember once, he said to me, one day, my future would be in his son’s hands.”

“My father foresaw that, one day, Celebrimbor's life would be in my hands. I will choose the path I must to give me the best hope of protecting it.”

“the Silmaril went on and came to Eärendil. And you’ve got some of the light of it in that star-glass that the Lady gave you! Why, we’re in the same tale still! Don’t the great tales never end?”

mine by @ spirit.of.salt, I don’t play about Eärendil (or Tolkien) ❤️🌟

This Unfinished Tales is extremely goated 🔥

The Two Trees' light was captured within the Silmarils, one of which Eärendil wears...it's like poetry, it rhymes!
Frodo shouts an incantation: ‘Aiya Eärendil Elenion Ancalima!’ and wields both sound and light against Shelob's darkness. It's salvation! It's eucatastrophe! 27/

His light leeches away the horror of the visions Frodo and Sam have just seen in Galadriel's mirror, and she gives Frodo a phial filled with the same light, which he wields against Shelob, child of Ungoliant, who had consumed the light from the Two Trees of Valinor. 26/

Though his story ends with his becoming a star, Eärendil continues to refract to all the corners of the legendarium. We see him in The Lord of the Rings, first in Rivendell, in Bilbo's recitation, next in Lothlórien, when his light shines onto Frodo, Sam, and Galadriel. 25/

His act also heals the rift between the elves and the Valar, and elves are allowed to come back to Valinor again! His acts result in the salvation of Middle-earth from Morgoth. He and Elwing and their sons (Elrond/Elros) also get to choose between living as elves or men. 24/

In his most heroic act, Eärendil sails to Valinor to ask the Valar for help to defeat Morgoth at the end of the FA. They agree, and put his ship in the sky, and with the Silmaril on his brow, he becomes the brightest and most beloved star of the elves. 23/

So drawing from ALLLLL these things, obviously eventually Tolkien gets to Eärendil, of whom he said "He is important as the person who brings the Silmarillion to its end, and as providing in his offspring the main links to and persons in the tales of later Ages." 20/

From the Prose Edda, T drew from the tale of Aurvandil, whose frozen toe was broken off by Thor and thrown into the sky, where it became Aurvandilsta, Aurvandil's Toe. From the Prose Edda "Aurvandil is Éarendel in Old English and may be the Morning Star." -_- we get it! 19/

He wrote this poem in 1914, in it, he combines ideas about light and the sea into one person: Éarendel 17/

Venus is the brightest natural object (besides Moon) in the night sky and heralds the sunrise/sunset.
Hopefully at this point you're sufficiently convinced that éarendel has a ton of philological connections to the dawn, light, the brightest star, salvation, etc. 13/

Eala éarendel, engla beorhtast / ofer middangeard monnum sended

This Old English line from Crist I, which T discovered in 1913, years before he began conceptualizing Middle-earth, was the foundation point and inspiration for it all. 2/

Reposting from Twitter - #TheRingsofPower has given us glimpses of Eärendil, imo THEE most rich-historied and important figure #Tolkien created in the entire legendarium. He's an intermediary figure, a bridge between old and new, between language and story, and between gods and men. Buckle up 1/

My husband got me the LOTR Drop desk mat and obviously I’m obsessed with it, but it matches his new desk, so I have selflessly relinquished it to him and changed to terrazzo desk mat and candy keycaps
