#the storyteller unwillingly becoming the story
people taking Maglor for a spirit/a ghost headcanon, my beloved.
Listen, I love this idea. I love the hilarious part of it, like, fishermen creating thousands of superstitions because they heard a mysterious singing and then the sea suddenly became calm. Imagine they leave Maglor gifts/offerings. Tell youngsters stories about a tall figure that sometimes can be seen on the seashore. “The one who sees them will die!” “What?! No! If you see them, they will give you jewels so precious and beautiful you can’t even imagine!” “THE MOTHER OF AN ACQUAINTANCE OF MY NEIGHBOR SAID HER FIRST HUSBAND HAD DIED A MONTH AFTER A MEETING WITH THE SINGING SPIRIT!”
Also I love the poetic part of it. Maglor is a narrator, the one who tells everybody these unbelievable stories, the one who creates them. I think it’s beautiful that he himself ended up as a legend or kind of a story he was so eager to tell
