Just here to cheer for the Silmarillion secret.

Yes, it's goofy and stylized, but I promise, givenclarity is the fan artist for you. See: http://givenclarity.tumblr.com/post/77567266402/whenever-i-see-art-where-fingon-is-taller-i-smile

[(Anonymous)]

Um, you know he's slumping, right?

Also, the artist who drew that picture is one record as saying she doesn't slash them in the slightest.

So I guess what I'm saying is, you may have a point but how can we tell when this picture doesn't meet either of the criteria you put forward?

SA *on record

I have the hardest time with height in Tolkien. Like, I ship Thingol/Beren. Thingol is supposed to be 9 feet tall. Melian as a Maia was likely crazy tall too, so Luthien probably towers over Beren. The house of Hador are the tall ones so Beren is lucky if he's 6 foot something.

BUT, I want Beren to be equal or taller than Thingol. It's just how I like to picture it.

This is only one example of MANY that arise in Tolkien. He's got crazy tall people and then he's got dwarves and hobbits and it's so hard to wrap my head around it all.

I'm your opposite. I haven't read the book, not too fond of the ship (they're related, right?) but I like this art quite a lot. Hell, it's the fanart I've seen that is making me want to read the book.

Maedhros and Fingon are first cousins. It isn't entirely clear how close they were, and lets just say that the two sides of the family did not get along. However, when Maedhros was captured and tortured by Morgoth, Fingon is the one who rescued him. None of Maedhros's brothers even tried. That's mostly the basis for the ship plus a whole lot of headcanon that the fandom shares.

[kallanda_lee]

Yeah, that totally sounds like something I'd be into.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you into reading history books? Because that's what reading these books are going to be like.

[kallanda_lee]

Eh, depends. I'm a difficult reader in general.

[(Anonymous)]

That's fair. Reading LotR can sometimes feels like ~all of the trees~ but Silmarillion is definitely ~all of the lengthy names and genealogy records~

That said I hope you enjoy the book(s) because I'm always happy to have more people to talk to in this fandom!

[philstar22]

Yup. It hits all my hurt comfort buttons.

[diet_poison]

Woah. That is a really pretty torso. @_@

[philstar22]

The Silm fandom art makes all the characters amazingly gorgeous (even characters who aren't supposed to be hot). Maedhros in particular is supposed to be fair in canon, but that is also post-torture so I would expect him to look a little more cut up.

Image: Maedhros and Fingon

Text: I love this ship. However I don’t love most of the art for it. Maedhros in canon is supposed to be tall. So why, in art depicting the rescue or subsequent recovery, is Fingon always the taller one?

I just want pretty art where a shorter person cuddles a taller one.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I like Maedhros/Fingon in general, but it's been slightly derailed by RP (Mae has a relationship with a dwarf who is a cousin to Fíli - it's 3rd Age RP).

But on the height thing, yeah, I see what you mean. In the aforementioned RP, if I have reason to refer to Maedhros' looks, one of the descriptors I use is "tall, even for an Elf".
