↳ aowyn’s fandom family – celebrimbor for @struckinarda
In Eregion the craftsmen of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain, the People of the Jewel-smiths, surpassed in cunning all that have ever wrought, save only Fëanor himself; and indeed greatest in skill among them was Celebrimbor, son of Curufin, who was estranged from his father and remained in Nargothrond when Celegorm and Curufin were driven forth, as is told in the Quenta Silmarillion.
For fans of Russingon and Silvergifting, I run ao3 feeds for both of them! You can find them at:

Summary:
“Ingoldo is a fool,” Curufin hissed, “throwing himself at the Enemy like a sweet morsel ripe for the taking. I will not be devoured.“
“Finrod has no choice. You have trapped him between Sauron and yourself, and I cannot say in truth which one is worse.”
Celebrimbor, coming of age, and the Fall of Nargothrond.
And hey, as long as I’m expanding upon Celebrimbor’s history:
After he returns to life, he never wears his hair in intricate braids again. He can’t leave it down either, for Related Reasons, and so wears it in a single thick braid down the back. It’s a shockingly plain style by Amanyar standards. Severe. Almost ascetic.

TYELPE, RUN!
Hello! Just a quick question: I often see on tumblr people writing Celebrimbor’s Quenya name as ‘Tyelperinquar’, though I thought it was ‘Telperinquar’. Which one is right one?
As always the answer in this fandom is “Telperinquar, unless you look deeper, in which case maybe it’s Tyelperinquar, unless you look deeper, in which case it’s entirely about what you think would have been the fictional political affiliations of long-dead underspecified Elves.”
Does ‘Tyelperinquar’ exist
in that form in Tolkien’s writing? This
is the given Quenya translation for Celebrimbor in Helge Fauskanger’s
Quenya-English wordlist (which I generally trust above all others), but I’ve
always wondered if this is either a typo or an editorial correction – the
references cited in the wordlist do not have this form.In addition to the sources
you’ve cited, we have the following in Parma
Eldalamberon XVII, p 42, Celebrimbor: ‘The Quenya equivalent was Telpinquar, or Telperinquar.’In a strictly Quenya sense,
Telperinquar would be Tyelperinquar. (This
suits my headcanon, and I like the sound of the word better. If in doubt when speaking Elvish, always go
with the best sound. The Elves would.)Telperinquar is what I’ve always seen, too (I was pretty bewildered at first to say Tyelperinquar/Tyelpe so widely used). Tolkien does say in UT that Telerin telpe was adopted into Quenya and more common than tyelpe, since the Noldor admired their skill as silversmiths. Fauskanger refers to it in his discussion of Telerin. So it’s Telperion and not Tyelperion, and likewise in the frozen Quenya of the Númenóreans: Telperiën, Telemmaitë, Telemnar.
