It's pretty much my mission in life to go around telling people about how awesome Haleth is. There are so many characters in the Silm it's easy to miss her - especially since he pretty much just narrates what happens to her and moves on, but when you actually look at it SHE IS SUCH A BAMF. And we don't get many human women BAMFs.

She's like a better version of Eowyn for me. I wish he'd written more about her. SOMEDAY I WILL WRITE MY EPIC HALETH FANFIC. Someday.

OH MY GOD MAEDHROS AND FINGON. I pretty much spend the entirety of the Silmarillion reading small passages and then putting the book down when I sob uncontrollably because Maedhros and Fingon, and then Fingolfin's death and oh geezus everything hurts.
