Incomplete list of Celegorm’s tattoos (monochrome)

The emblem of Orome as a tramp stamp. Got it immediately after being joining the Hunt
The Star of Feanor, taking up the entire space between his navel and his pecs. Got it when Feanor was exiled to Formenos
“No Regerts” in Quenya ("ala oio nattirë" misspelled) just below his collarbones. Got it as soon as he could find someone to tattoo him after Mandos pronounced the Doom.
“Bold of you to assume I’ve reached my peak dumbass” in Taliska across his shoulder blades. Got it before he learned Taliska. The Man who tattooed him said it referred to the way he surprises his enemies in battle.
“Death we will deal him ere day’s ending” in Taliska on right bicep. Got it from the same tattooist as the previous one, after spending six months learning Taliska. Celegorm did not break eye contact the entire time he was being tattooed.
Huan’s footprint on his right shoulder. Got it when he saw that Fingon had Maedhros’ name tattooed on his thigh (high enough that no one would see unless they were staring in the baths).
A penis on his left ankle. Got after a lost bet with a fellow hunter in Valinor. The loser had to “get a dick tattoo.”
His first boyfriend’s name on his left butt cheek, the words “is incredibly boring” added underneath after they broke up.
Tribal sleeve on his left arm - I am unsure if it actually has meaning or just looks cool. Got it in Valinor, probably while drunk.

Incomplete list of tattoos after he’s reborn:

#YOLO across his pecs.
Star of Feanor on each shoulder
Bow and arrow tramp stamp that is just different enough from Orome’s symbol
A raised spear holding up a necklace with a shining gemstone taking up his entire back
Huan howling on his left calf, with “466″ written beneath it
Every single scar he got in his first life, in silver that matches his hair and glitters like a Silmaril in moonlight
- This isn’t out of guilt - the scars were his, proof of every fight he won, and Namo took them away

Tolkien went with the most boring outcome possible for Elrond and Elros at the end of the First Age. Consider instead:

King Elrond of the Sindar and his brother King Elros of the Edain
King Elrond of the Noldor (if Gil-Galad is Ordoreth’s son, Earendil has a better claim)
King Elrond of ALL the elves in Middle Earth, Noldor and Sindar
Triple King Elros of the Sindar, Noldor, and Edain
Elrond and Elros claiming they have a psychic bond, and therefore they’re both Triple-King
- No one knows what maia-human-elven twins grow up like, so no one can dispute it
One of them going to Valinor and arguing that he should be king of Tirion instead of Finarfin
- Also trying to get counted as a prince of Aqualonde, because they’re Olwe’s nephews.
One of them going sailing with their dad Earendil for a few centuries, hanging out in Valinor afterwards, comforting Grandma Melian as she waits for Thingol to be reborn
Elrond saying “I don’t want to be a Man, but I won’t be an Elf either. I choose to be a Maia, like Melian.”
- I have no idea what happens when there’s suddenly another one of the beings that existed as long as creation, but I bet he shakes things up.
- Elrond becoming herald of Ulmo and herald of Yavanna, then lording it over Eonwe
- Probably results in Elrond fighting Sauron in hand-to-hand combat and winning
Just checked, and they were allowed to ‘choose freely to which kindred their fates shall be joined.’ No mention made of blood ties.
- I’m saying Dwarf!Elros and Maia!Elrond
- And Elros somehow ends up king of the dwarves, possibly by flaunting his adoptive descent from Feanor, the greatest craftsman in history
