HMMM

– Erendis bitterly thought of doing Nienor, but instead went as Morwen. Bëorian pride!

– Ancalimë cosplays Elbereth; go hard or go home.

– Galadriel cosplays Indis, both bc fuck the haters and queen of the Noldor yeahhhh.

– Pharazôn cosplays Morgoth and takes it deadly seriously. Sauron thinks it’s hilarious. They make Míriel cosplay a Vala or Maia, which she thinks is sacrilegious, but when forced she goes as Nienna. The tears are very convincing.

– In Rivendell, Valandil cosplays tiny Elrond or Elros; nobody’s quite sure which one, but it’s adorable.

– Glorfindel cosplays as Glorfindel, complete with a model Balrog around his wrist. Nyahhhhh.

– Celebrían cosplays as Eärwen, mostly to make her mother smile.

– Pretty much everyone expected Celebrimbor to cosplay Fëanor, which lol fuck no, and eventually he went as Beren just to screw with everyone. (Dude might not have created the Silmarils, but at least he got one and lived to snark about it.)

– Elendil went as Thingol. What’s the point in being nearly eight feet tall if you don’t?

– Isildur and Anárion (with a wig) went as Túrin and Tuor, respectively, and avoided each other the whole evening.
