the concept of Melkor taking Maedhros’ mother name from his identity is… idk how to put it, but perhaps its both in a physical and psychological sense? ofc, there’s the whole idea of Maedhros being unable to stomach hearing ‘Maitimo’ anymore which is the obvious answer, but also… hear me out here… what if Melkor had a little book of names he’s taken from people? which sounds silly but subsequently ‘binds’ that little bit of them to him, so long as it isnt destroyed. i also think Melkor (in this particular comic) places an emphasis on using Maedhros’ mother name idk maybe because Feanor went by his mother name? a petty, spiteful kinda thing. And so in this case Fingon, who has always called him Maitimo since they were kids and is a creature of habit, learns why Nelyafinwe is bearable, Nelyo still used by his brothers, and Russandol becomes more commonplace- but never Maitimo. so after angband, I’ve always headcanoned Maedhros as refusing to be referred to as ‘Maitimo’ anymore. naming seems like a really big deal among the eldar given how much time and love Tolkien put into it! so personally I think each and every one of the names they give their children/themselves are very very sacred I have several further thoughts on this so that’ll be under the cut for ramblings lol i was studying Maria Llovet’s comic style when I was working on this so if you’ve ever read Luna and notice some stylistic similarities that’s it!! maedhros recalls a name of old that he can no longer bring himself to be referred to.Ĭontent warning for heavy scarring, slight languageĪ bit darker than my usual content, so big apologies in advance ?♀️ this is quite an old comic i had sitting about from May, and given i was a bit busier this weekend i worked on this on the side instead of answering asks (business as usual as soon as i can!). Summary: names are a sacred thing, but the memory of angband is a pervasive grime that sticks to the mind.
