But then again, yes, because he remained very much his Father's son in temperament... but still, no, because Lomion was never a name Maeglin accepted; he was his mother's son, and 'Lomion' just an act to appease Eol.

What do you think?

*"Do not go to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes."

Um, I think you got that bit wrong. Maeglin was the name given to him by Eol and Lomion by Aredhel, so why would using the name Eol hated be 'just an act to appease Eol'?

Oops! Sorry, my mistake, I got tangled up. The general theme of my comment still stands, I think; it's just the details that change.

Idril:
Now, what in Eru's name are you two doing?

Meleth:
Ah, oh....Um....you see....We're in love.....

Idril:
[suddenly screaming]
Get away from him, Meleth!

Meleth:
I am a grown Elf-maiden. You do not tell me what to do.

Tuor:
[arrives and stands beside Idril]
Hey, remember that time when I broke thy arm? With a wrench?
[grabs something out of thin air]
Specifically, this wrench.

Idril:
......

Maeglin:
......

Tuor:
[oblivious]
And then I threw thou off a cliff for good measure. Good times, that.

Maeglin:
..........

Idril:
Tuor, I love you, I truly do, but you're making this worse.

Eol:
[comes up from behind Maeglin]
On the contrary, princess. He is making things better. For me.
[approaches Tuor and slings an arm around his shoulder]
So you fulfilled my curse, eh? Come along, then. I've gotta hear all about that one.....
[Eol drags Tuor away for a chat]

-x-

Beleg:
[sulking]

Thingol:
All right. Whatever's got your panties in a twist can't possibly be worse than all the sh1t we've had to experience.

Beleg:
You don't understand. I've lost my partner, the person I've had a crush on for whole 25 years.

Thingol:
That's a mere fraction of Elven lifespan. When you're reincarnated, you'll find someone new.

Beleg:
There won't be anyone else but Turin. There isn't anyone in the world like Turin. And he is gone beyond the Circles of the World, and so I'll never see him again.

Thingol:
Quit your whining. It doesn't suit you. I have lost my daughter and my son-in-law, and my grandchildren, and all of my descendants. Your loss is nothing compared to what I went through.

[To be continued]

Do it if you like doing it. Inevitably some people are gonna like it and some are gonna dislike it. Do what you feel like doing on this thread.

That's not really an opinion on this thing, but okay.....
