Also, they call him Father.
Aragorn's speech patterns are a lot like Elrond's, unsurprisingly, except that Aragorn says "my father" for Arathorn and Elrond says "my sire" for Earendil. So that's my in-text justification/excuse.

From the timelines I can find, the twins were 2 or so when Earendil sailed. And I figure even elves have some early-childhood amnesia.
There's some note indicating elves are considered mature enough to marry sometime between 50 and 500. Dior married before 30, and so did Earendil and Elwing...

The Voyage of Eärendil is a pretty fantastic ride. It’s an original composition for a character that’s never been adapted to screen, but is so important to all of Middle-earth.
He’s Elrond’s dad; and it’s his light that Galadriel gifts Frodo millennia later.
The music here captures him perfectly

so finally, here it is, as commissioned by @jessicannatar.bsky.social through the lil fundraiser some tolkien folks did last year for the palestine children relief fund. the gorgeous artwork was done by @galadrielswife.bsky.social who you should also follow on instagram @artsysibel

Akeba visits Eärendil in Valinor, emerging from the Caldeum Sewers, her steps whisper-quiet. JUGGERNAUT'S TRIAL: Unsuccessful Roll. Eärendil summons the power of the Silmaril to incinerate his foe. "You faced the Evening Star and fell."

This is such a wonderful, magical piece of music that really does capture the sort of mythic vibe that Eärendil has in the the Legendarium. I love it.

Le lecteur sait que deux destins viennent de se croiser: Túrin en route vers son destin tragique, le désespoir absolu, et Túor, appelé à engendrer Eärendil, l'étoile de l'espoir! Un grand moment que ce petit clin d'oeil! ⤵️
Mais si #Tolkien ne parvient pas à donner une forme définitive à son conte, Eärendil infuse tout le Seigneur des Anneaux : c’est le père d’Elrond, et le lointain ancêtre d’Aragorn. Bilbo, chantant Eärendil dans la salle du feu, nous le rappelle discrètement.

« En effet, répondit gravement Elrond. Mais ma mémoire remonte jusqu’aux Jours Anciens. Eärendil était mon père, né à Gondolin avant sa chute ; et ma mère était Elwing, fille de Dior, fils de Lúthien du Doriath. »
Pour les proches de Tolkien habitués à ses légendes, cette réplique vaut un caméo!⤵️

8/ « Si étrange que cela puisse paraître, j’ai grandi dans le monde qu’il avait créé. Pour moi, les villes du Silmarillion ont plus de réalité que Babylone » : sans ses souvenirs, nombre de légendes de #Tolkien seraient restées incomplètes.🔽

I'm not using it for a coding agent, but we're probably going to move the agent we're building at Earendil over to it.

If you wanna critique our Gondolin sandbox approach, I wrote some docs for the security architecture and networking stack: earendil-works.github.io/gondolin/sec... earendil-works.github.io/gondolin/net... Would love to get feedback!

Well, it took a little over 5 years but I am officially at the point where I'd love to be able to block all elwing-earendil-kidnapfam discourse from my tumblr dash. Glad folks are having fun but i feel like a retail worker during the holiday season.

It's especially wild when you realize how much of that readers would have had absolutely zero context for, and he never actually explains it until the appendices to RotK at the very, very earliest. Constant allusions to Bern and Luthien and Eärendil and Númenor and no attempt to explain it.

When I go to virtual reality I sometimes hear in my head the voice of Galadriel to Frodo speaking of the Light of Eärendil.
“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.”
