Give it to me

I must have it

Precious treasure

I deserve it

Where can I run

How can I hide

The Silmarils

Gems of treelight

Their life belongs to me

Oh it's sweet how the

Darkness is floating around

Blackheart show me

What you hold in your hand

I still hunger for more

Release me

From my pain

Give it to me

How I need it

How I need it

How I need it

I did my part

Now it's your turn

And remember

What you've promised

Why didn't Melkor just put the Fëanor testes in his pocket?

Pockets are full of darkness, Ungoliant would immediately know if he put them in one, being the embodiment of primordial darkness.

Everything is full of darkness if you ignore light sources, which the silmarils were, and Ungoliant wasn't described as omniscient.

Even Gollum had a pocket.

And you think Ungoliant wouldn't notice a light source that powerful being stuck in a pocket?

This isn't some shitty dollar store flashlight, it's a goddamn silmaril.

Morgoth didn't have pockets REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>1168

If she could see everything stuck in dark places, even if those places were illuminated, she would see everything then. Or are you saying as an embodiment of darkness she was omniscient in regards of light sources?

If Morgoth put the silmarils in his pocket, those pockets would be close to holiest and most illuminated places on Arda.

Actual speculation on these legendary figures is silly.

Keep it to simple memes and gags.

True pockets weren't invented until at least the 16th century, before then pockets were just pouches sewn to the outside of clothes or hung on belts

What the fuck was Ungoliant anyways? She wasn't created by Morgoth like most evil creatures, so was she created by Illuvatar? Did he make her as an evil devouring spider shadow, or was she something else before corrupting herself?

Eru is supposed to be an omnipotent god, so nothing is beyond, Ungoliant is likely another Umaiar like Melkor and the balrogs.

She was like Tom Bombadil in that Tolkien never gave her an origin because she was supposed to be a mystery

Except Ungoliant actually exists as a major influence in Elven mythological chronicles and not merely as an inconsequential non-entity in the hobbit folk lore tradition and dubiously exaggarated travel literature.

There's no multiverse in LOTR get your fanfiction out of here also the universe didn't exist until he made it so being "omnipotent in this universe" doesn't make any sense

Considering the sub-creation, is Eru really YHWH reaching down to Tolkien's imagination to enact miracles, like mass-genocide by tectonic activity and pushing midgets in lava?

Did you even read this over a year old thread? Most of the talk is about pockets, not anything in the OP.

She's either

A). A powerful Maia, maybe even the most powerful of the Maiar.

B). The primordial darkness leftover from when Eru and the Ainu sang the universe into existence.

As with many things in the legendarium, Tolkien himself contradicts his own writing multiple times depending on the source you read because he didn't make his own ass mind up, creating endless room for fan shitflings.
