We Could Be Heroes
a lot of tolkien’s characters are absurdly similar looking to each other but after a while you develop this weird sixth sense for which distressed black haired blue eyed dude is being depicted in any given art
Stressed, long and loose hair = Finwe
Serious, holding sword = Fingolfin
Gold ribbons, fancy braids = Fingon
Tall, fancy outfit = Turgon
Big biceps and kinda crazy look in his eyes = Feanor
Mournful, with musical instrument = Maglor
Flushed, pissed off = Caranthir
Looks like Feanor but slightly smaller amd more evil = Curufin
Looks like Curufin, not evil, is flirting with dwarf/elf smith = Celebrimbor
Also holding a musical instrument but its a flute, fountains nearby = Ecthelion
Golden hair, way too pretty, really shiny necklace = Finrod
Slightly less golden hair, still way too pretty, petting a dog = Celegorm
More golden hair, way too pretty, sword in hand = Glorfindel
Golden hair, way too pretty, is female = Galadriel
Golden hair, way too pretty, “fuck this shit, I’m out” written all over his face = FinarfinGolden hair, way too pretty, is female, dark haired guy creepin in the background = Idril
Silver hair, looking pissed af, sitting next to a serene dark-haired lady (who most likely has a halo) = Thingol
Silver hair, standing next to “golden hair, way too pretty, is female“ = Celeborn
Silver hair, female, looks really sad = Miriel
Silver hair, way too pretty, petting a dog = also could be Celegorm
Silver (or grey) hair, hanging out with a dark-haired human, looks done af = Belegblack hair, grey eyes, looks very, very tired or sad or both = Elrond
black hair, grey eyes, there’s 2 of them, usually holding a sword or something = Elladan and/or Elrohir but good luck figuring out which is which
black hair, grey eyes, looks scared, shocked, creepy, and/or slightly evil = maeglin
black hair, grey eyes, female, probably dancing or stealing a jewel = luthien
black hair, grey eyes, female, looking just like luthien, probably has a dark haired, grey eyed man nearby = arwen
I like this bc it implies that Maedhros is the only red head in middle earth, which is honestly probably why everyone called him copper top.
red hair, way too pretty, having an extremely bad time = Maedhros
red hair, near another, identical person with slightly darker red hair = Ambarussa, good luck figuring out which is which because Tolkien didn’t know either
red hair, near Morgoth, okay with that = Sauron, ginger edition
