#it wasn't enough that Fëanor's soul has effectively been wasting away in purgatory for thousands of years

Galadriel deciding to gift her hair to Gimli was really to just ensure that Fëanor got severly burned in the afterlife as well as in death.  

#three hairs #three silmarils #almost like she was making a statement of some kind #Gimli wasn't even a smith y'all #he wasn't even royalty #just some random dwarf who ended up in Lorien on some magical mystery tour #as opposed to Fëanor #aka Eru's most talented creation in existence #who asked for her hair and was denied because he was also the biggest asshole in existence #it wasn't enough that Fëanor's soul has effectively been wasting away in purgatory for thousands of years #Galadriel had to make clear that she respected a random dwarf more than the most influential and talented being in the history of creation #the sheer amount of -I fucking hate that elf- energy in her choice can't be overstated
