So I started playing Lotr Online, the MMO game of Lord of the Rings, and it's been fun so far. Started off as an elf, and was popped into the middle of a dramatic fight I had zero context for. Bad guy stabs me with an evil sword, and screen goes black. I wake up, and my buddies are happy to see me awake. Sorry everyone, didn't mean to scare you. Hey btw, Elrond, how long was I conked out for?
Years? I was in pained coma for years?? I guess that's elves for you, huh
Oh damn, the era changed while I was asleep? What a timing, haha
Year three thousand and- wait. The era changed while I was asleep. And it is now the year three thousand and eighteen of this era.
...
I was in a coma for at least three thousand and then some years??
Elves, man.
Elves.

So uh. I might’ve found a pattern here.
From The Fellowship of the Ring, “Three Is Company”:
From The Two Towers, “The Uruk-Hai”:
From The Return of the King, “The Houses of Healing”:
Now I know Tolkien hated allegory. And I know LotR is not a copy-and-paste parable about WWII (which he didn’t fight in) or even WWI (which he did). But the man did see war, and so did people he loved, and he had a non-zero amount of trauma, and some of that is gonna make its way into his writing somehow.
And I think his soul might’ve had something to say about soldiers being forced to walk until they dropped from exhaustion.

BG3 HeadCannons that WONT LET ME SLEEP
I have to share the headcannon that is living rent free in my head rn otherwise I will NEVER go tf to sleep bruh.
Okay so like WHAT IF - hear me out, WHAT IF, Halsin did have a child?? What if he - during the time he was held a prisoner in the underdark (as basically a sex slave) actually sired a daughter. He said he broke out during an altercation and didn't know what happened to his captors. He obviously wouldn't about his kid.
WHAT IF he had a daughter who was half drow - who grew up and was raised in the underdark; maybe she's the bastard child of a princess? Who knows. But what if she realizes that something is up - she's different than the other drow. She has his eye color, she has his kindness/ gentleness - she is unlike her mother who is cruel and abuses her power of position.
She is more than likely just as beautiful as her father, if not more. A flirt? 100% this kid would have Halsin's rizz.
She's a druid for sure - doesn't quite know it yet. You think Halsin is a mf tank as a cave bear???? I have reason to think that his child - can turn into an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE OF A BEAST. I'm talking like a Carnotauros.
While she is gentle and kind, she also has her mother's temper. Do not cross her, do not trust her little doe eyes. If you were ever to hurt someone she loved or double crossed her she wouldn't think twice about gutting you like a fish.
Another thing:
We all know that Halsin's heart is made of gold - he sees nature as a thing of beauty, bountiful, warm, fertile, prosperous. He sees balance.
His daughter sees nature as survival; chaos. She understands that there is thriving and then there is SURVIVING.
He is the warm mountain breeze and she is the tempest of the storm.
(forgive me - I can see in my head what I'm speaking of but typing it out and explaining it in words is difficult)
I would think that as different as they are Halsin would love her fiercely (that's his kid after all), though she would be a young adult at this point
Maybe be a little over protective??
ANOTHER THING:
in BG3 you're supposed to be able to have a companion of each class - what if you have:
Mol as your Rogue (young adult)
Arabella as your Sorceress (young adult)
Halsin's Daughter as your druid
BUT THEYRE LIKE BEST FRIENDS. IT WOULD JUST BE SO CUTE.
maybe they're a polycule? Maybe they're like idk the powerpuff girls? Maybe they're 3 best friends who - constantly get into mischeif ?
Would Halsin not approve of TAV romancing his daughter????
Can his daughter romance Dammon?? (I'm still butthurt that I can't romance him in game)
WILL I EVER FUCKING SLEEP? I CAN'T STOP THINKING THAT THIS IS A MOVIE/GAME I WANNA WATCH/PLAY
anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk. Hope my melatonin kicks in soon <3

On a completely different note, thinking about Halsin's point 'n click line if you have him pickpocket: "Perhaps I missed my calling as a thief," and this other point 'n click sneaking around line: "Unnoticed? *snickers* Good."
And relating those with no good reason to Halsin's snippy observations in Thorm's tomb : "To seal away that which a person no longer needs is to lessen the Oak Father's bounty for all." And "Such hoarding of wealth. A tomb for riches that could be put to better use [...] This gold may never see daylight again while others go cold and hungry."
Because it brings to my silly little mind Halsin getting to a point of frustration where he's yoinking coin pouches from wealthy elites in Baldur's Gate, "accidentally" spilling the coins on the ground for the refugees and children to take - whoops how clumsy of me - and looming over those same elites with an unsettling, even smile asking if there is a problem if they start screeching about thievery.

Hp/Twilight crossover where Harry can keep Edward from reading his thoughts with occlumency but instead chooses to do so by mentally scream singing “Damn These Vampires” by The Mountain Goats constantly.
