i don't remember the books so well, what is legolas' personality like in them? all i remember is tht the books and movie where massively different?

Oh my dear anon. I could go on about book Legolas for hours.

Book Legolas is a sassy little sh*t who skips on the surface of the snow when everyone else is drowning in it up to their waists and carrying the four hobbits. Book Legolas sleeps with his eyes open. He watches Aragorn throw himself to the groud and listen to the sound of running horses, only to say afterwards, “yeah, there are a hundred and five of them, they’re all blond and they all have spears nbd“. Book Legolas cries that Gollum escaped grom Mirkwood right after everyone was like, “phew, it’s good that Thranduil’s elves keep an eye on him, what could go wrong???“. He screams all the time, and occasionally drops his bow too. He kills a warg, shooting it right in the throat with a burning arrow. Book Legolas is a trees stan. Book Legolas walk away singing “To the Sea! To the Sea!“. Book Legolas is not afraid of zombies, thank you very much. He addreses his friends “children“, even though he is probably the youngest elf in Middle-Earth that we know of. And of course, book Legolas takes none of your bs, builds his own grey boat because who says he can’t sail on his own ship right, packs his best friend and shows up in Valinor 120 years late with Starbucks and a dwarf.

After 6000 years Tumblr stopped being a bitch and let me upload something 🙃🙃🙃

i feel like there are two extremes when it comes to the fëanorians: woobification or demonization, and i think both of them suck the life out of the characters. 

“fëanor/his sons did nothing wrong!” is a weird hill to die on considering how much the text itself disagrees, but i’ve seen people make memes and short posts echoing the sentiment. they usually side with them bc they’ve grown attached to the characters and can’t bear the thought of liking morally gray war criminals, so they rationalize this discrepancy by absolving the characters of any guilt and mentally categorizing them and their actions as always good and just, thereby avoiding having to ask themselves “why do i like these garbage elves?”. it’s a very boring way to go about viewing media - to always have to agree morally with a character to enjoy them.

“fëanor/his sons are absolute monsters who fucked everything up and deserve their fate” is the next extreme i see, and in some ways i actually don’t mind this as much as the other one, despite being a fëanorian fan myself. it’s more rooted in the text imho and understandable if you just look at the result of fëanor’s actions. that said, i feel like it isn’t a fair reading of the text and this viewpoint completely ignores the several times we are told about the good and noble deeds and intentions of fëanor and his sons. i also see this same sentiment in posts bashing on the kidnap dads. that does piss me off tbh, because i see people trying to claim that maglor and/or maedhros were abusive, something we have zero textual basis for. all we are told of their relationship is that “…(maglor) cherished them, and love grew after between them, as little might be thought…”. that’s it, and i take it at face value. as a survivor of familial abuse, i find it bizarre that people want the relationship to be toxic. maybe it’s because they can’t conceptualize terrible people making good guardians, i don’t know. all i know is that viewing maglor and maedhros as inherently evil and bad is glossing over one of the most interesting and compelling dynamics in the whole book to me - that of the brothers and elrond and elros. the idea that these arguably awful dudes find some semblance of family again with these twins who are survivors of the very kinslaying they committed? it’s strange and touching and the one of the last bits of good in the entire rest of the quenta silmarillion. if you write off all the fëanorians as assholes, you’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater and losing out on enjoying the best written morally gray characters in all of tolkien’s works.

tl;dr: viewing the fëanorians as either wholly good or wholly evil is incredibly boring! gray morality is fascinating!
