#except for Galadriel

[silvantransthranduiltrash]

You know, I'm a huge fan of mirkwood elves being considered creepy and downright terrifying by almost everyone on Middle Earth, even by other elves. Your headcanons of them being nocturnal and eating the fuckin spawn of ungoliant of all things add on to this, sooo, can I have some incorrect quotes about some scary elves?

As asked for, some incorrect quotes:

Legolas: *starting to gut the spider carcasses after a skirmish*

The twins, who are visiting: what are you doing?!

Legolas: look, we can share if you want-

~~~~~

*in Imlardis*

The twins: *throw the curtains wide open* good morning!

Legolas: *hisses* wHAT DEVILISH CONTRAPTION-

~~~~~~~~~

Elrond: *talking about how food is scarce atm in Imlardis*

Thranduil: *pauses* you kill dozens of orcs on the regular, and you still don’t have enough food?

~~~~~~~~~

Faramir: I heard that those elves of Mirkwood will eat anyone and anything they deem an enemy.

Aragorn: oh, that’s an exaggeration-

Legolas:......

Aragorn: that’s an exaggeration, right legolas-

~~~~~~~~~~

Legolas: you two are like the sun

The twins: awww, thank you-

Legolas: a nuisance.

~~~~~~~~~~

Legolas: look if you’re stupid enough to challenge my people, you get eaten if you loose. That’s the rules of engagement.

~~~~~~~~~~

Thranduil: nighttime is Funtime

*silvans cackling in the distance as they slaughter all who cross their path*

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thranduil: of course I would never hurt a tree! They are Eru’s gift to the universe!

Thranduil: you, however-

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Galion: oh, the noldor are always like “oh no! The darkness! By god what will we do when there are no farms! The night is so scary”

Galion: bitch, what do you think life was like before ya’ll came?

~~~~~~~~~~~

Legolas: Eru may judge me, but honestly, fuck him.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Legolas: *dragging a spider corpse* life’s too short to care about other people’s opinions-

Aragorn: you’re immortal!

Legolas: fine, life’s too long to care about other people’s opinions. Happy?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glorfindel: alright, looks like- wHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?

Arwen:*snacking on a spider leg* this is really good!

Legolas, vibrating with excitement: I know, right!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*in valinor post lotr*

Gandalf: ok, Thranduil has finally sailed, which means I need to get out of here before he catches me because he will definitely eat me for endangering his son-

Thranduil: hello, Gandalf!

Gandalf: *incoherent screaming*

[havenotwillnotreadthebooks]

Ok but wouldn’t it be funny if

Arwen, newly arrived in Valinor after faking her and Aragorn’s death and squirreling themselves away on a ship: of course i have proof i am who i say i am! I know the family technique.

Arwen, making the rivers jump to her command via a Song of Power: see? I am clearly Elrond Peredhel’s daughter and of Luthien’s line.

Arafinwe, who damn well knows Maglor used that technique against rebellious baby cousins and various unfortunate Silmaril-thieving kin: oh you are definitely Elrond’s

#tag.words #silmarillion #tolkien #arwen #lady arwen #arwen undomiel #kidnap fam #maglor teaching itty bitty elrond his techniques #and elrond teaching itty biity arwen those same songs of power #nobody knowing except galadriel just how many Family Techniques #and Family Heirlooms #are actually feanorian and not doriathrim #until the peredhel fam sail to valinor and celebrian is cooking one of feanors experimental bread recipes #and elrond is debating just like maedhros in his youth #and the twins are sparring using the Ambarussa’s swords #and arwen is calling the river to her command #just #the peredhel fam having feanorian undertones without completely realizing #arafinwe #finarfin #finarfin is so done

the ghosts of some of the First Age elves hanging around Middle-Earth in the Third Age

#mostly thinking about elrond asking ghost!maedhros to go with the fellowship and protect them #can maedhros effect the real world? no. can anyone hear him except elrond and possibly galadriel? no. #will elrond feel better if maedhros is with the fellowship? yes. #the elf ghosts are simultaneously in mandos and in middle earth #(waves hand) eru did it

[thepinkseat-askthemoonbunny]

I think Finarfin suffers from a similar problem to Maglor in fandom, is that just because he’s the gentlest and most levelheaded of the family means he’s all of a sudden a pussy.

Finarfin? You’re telling me the same dude who raised Finrod “kill a werewolf with my fucking teeth” Felagund, Aegnor “fell fire, terrible to endure in battle” Ambarato and Galadriel “gave Feanor the middle finger, told the Valar to go fuck themselves” Artanis is a shrinking violet?!

I think tf NOT!

[shrikeseams]

The thing is. If you can't ship an elf king or lord with the personification of their city/fortress, then what's even the point?

#Tolkien #This is about maedhros & himring #But also turgon & gondolin. Finwe & tirion. Elrond & rivendell. Galadriel & lothlorien. #Fingolfin & barad eithel. Thranduil & mirkwood. #And what is melian if not the personification of doriath? She just had to bring the city into being around her #Also Gil-Galad & Lindon except I have zero grasp on Lindon #Conspicuously: I don't think feanor ever really fell in love with a city or location. Too restless! A love of discovery over stability #Which you get a little with finrod & nargothrond but they had a good time while it lasted #San shoots the breeze

[youareunbearable]

Thinking about an Age Swap!Grandchildren of Finwe, haven't thought where I would like to go with it but I have a few concepts I'd like you to consider:

Feanor and Nerdanel’s first birth being Ambarussa, twins which exhaust Nerdanel to the point where Feanor is now Freaking Out, but then she gets her Mother Vision and is screaming and crying because all she can see is her youngest twin and Flames. She's so weak for so long after the birth that she hasn't even named her sons yet and everyone is so Worried that this is Miriel all over again

Feanor would be so scared to try again for another child and when they do he puts more of his fear into the creation to help take the burden off his wife that neither are surprised that Curufin ends up looking like a little clone of his father

Big Sister Galadriel, you thought she was Powerful as the cherished baby sister??? Her final and most powerful form is about to be unleashed

Imagine little nerd Curufin and all his Big Jock cousins and older brothers (the hunting trio of Aredhel and Ambarussa, the Jock Argon and the Scary Powerful Galadriel) and Hating it so much like they are all kind to him but if he is told to Go Bond With Your Family Members and is forced to wrestle or go hunting once more hes going to Scream

Ambarussa and Aredhel cheering when Celegorm is born and is also Very Much a hunter too and are so proud when he becomes favoured by their patron Vala

Also, just picture the ramifications when Nolofinwes Heir, the Second In Line to the High Kingship of the Noldor goes MISSING in Eol’s kingdom???? On her way to visit her younger cousins??? Oh Maeglins story would be So Different

Turgon and Finrod being born a little after Celegorm and Turgon being So Jealous over the fact that his older sister "clearly" likes their Feanorian cousin more than him so when Fingon is born he is Such a helicopter smothering Big Brother that Fingon will never question he's loved ever

Instant betrayal when a couple years later Fingon takes one look at their youngest cousin and Falls In Love with tiny baby Maedhros

Maglor singing his little brother lullabies to go to sleep and hes so excited that HE gets to be a big brother that he vows to never leave his side ever. He breaks that vow several times over the course of their lives.

The first is when Maedhros, the youngest of all the Finweans, is taken by Morgoth and tortured and none of them can do anything about it, and their king, Nelyafinwe who had just lost his twin in the ships set on fire by their own father, is too grief-stricken to want to lose more men to retrieve another dead brother.

The second time is when its just them left, just the two youngest of Finwes grandchildren (except for Galadriel but no one has seen or heard from her in centuries) and Maglor looked away for just a second, got lost in the burning of his hand from their stolen Silmaril for just too long and when he came back too it was to his baby brother tilting himself over the edge of a cliff, crying and clutching his own burning Silmaril. Maglor would haunt the shores knowing that he failed his own baby brother time and time again.

I think Caranthir would be the same though. He was a (pleasent) surprise in either timeline for his parents.

#Silmarillion #silm #Feanorians #Curufin #maedhros #maglor #turgon #Ambarussa #Galadriel #Feanor #Nerdanel #ehhh thats it i think #everyteverything tbat happens in canon still happens except Maedhros was never king #also imagine both nolo and feanor lose and eldest son at the beginning of their quest #i think that wouls change the relationship at the lake more #especially since the current high king lost a twin and is clearly grieving #and is clearly very regretful and bitter about fhe ships #amber rambles

I am on the edge of my seat for every entry thus far, even if I’m a day behind again. I knew the plots and I still yelled about Aragorn showing up at the last minute and how soft his heart is as soon as the battle is done. I think that may be one of my favorite scenes but it’s not an easy choice. Since it’d be mean to ask for just one lol what’s your favorite top 3 scenes in the series?

this is so nice to hear!! I'm really so happy you're enjoying the newsletter that much 💕💕

Okay, as for your question, I read it almost as soon as you sent it and have been trying to come up with an answer ever since akjhfkhkjf it's so hard to choose a small amount of favourite scenes from LOTR

In no particular order:

One of the favourites has to be Gimli asking for a strand of Galadriel's hair. The meaning this scene carries is huge! I love both Gimli and Galadriel in this scene, his tentativeness and love, and her generosity and willingness to help bridge this gigantic gap which exists between elves and dwarves. Also Lorien is where Legolas and Gimli start becoming close friends, and that's another reason why I love this period.

Reuniting with Bilbo in Many Partings makes me fucking SOB. This whole chapter in general makes me insanely emotional and I can't read it without tearing up multiple times, but something about Frodo getting to meet Bilbo again after the quest is done, and seeing Bilbo ageing so quickly without the Ring is just........ GOD. :'(((((((((((((((((((

Not a scene per se, but Legolas taking Gimli to Valinor has been living in my mind rent free even since I read LOTR for the first time.

Honestly I can't even say these are my top three because there are just too many scenes in LOTR that I absolutely love! There's Grey Havens, There's all of Pelennor Fields, there's Treebeard singing the Ents' song to try to remember if he knows what type of creature Merry and Pippin are, there's the Three Hunters following Merry and Pippin, there's the Breaking of the Fellowship, there's Eomer and Gimli being in love with Galadriel and Arwen, there's Eowyn and Faramir in the Houses of Healing, there's Sam seeing the fallen Harad soldier... (see, you can't ask me for three favourites because I'm gonna cheat and list 30 anyway saljhfkjdhfkjd)

So these are the three that came to my mind now, but I can't honestly say they are my top three because I genuinely don't know how to choose the very top LOTR scenes askjkdhkfjdh

Thank you for asking! 💕

Here’s my very specific, personal wish for ROP (preferably season 2 but I’m patient) concerning Celeborn. Galadriel mentions that he went missing after a war and since we know he’s alive he’s probably been captured and made a slave worker or something. So she needs to find him, but she does so on accident, and she almost doesn’t because she’s learnt from her mistakes with Halbrand about barging on without restraint. She’s about to turn her back on it and leave (wherever it is he/they are(preferably by her own initiative instead of someone hounding her to) when she finds him. And then she goes absolutely feral. Oh yes, I want her to regress. I want her to go back to the violent restlessness she had in season 1 (something she was just starting to shed at the very end of the season) and convince herself she would have found him sooner if she hadn’t let herself become weak. And then I want to watch her become the wise lady of the woods alongside her husband and their daughter!

#also celeborn should be a pretty boy #that’s her silver clam #he probably calls her mommy #or his queen or something to make it less kinky #rings of power #rop #galadriel #celeborn #also I headcanon celbrian as being like her mom except with a sense of humor

Ch. 9) Touch

snip below the cut

Also if anyone wants to know the premise of the story, or details on some of the tags, feel free to post an ask or DM. But again, mind those tags, this isn't for everyone.

The house was getting hotter, even with the AC turned on it was easy to tell when the sun had baked through the stucco each day.  And that’s when she heard the garage door slam and then a ridiculous clatter of noise coming from… the other bathroom? Then he was thundering back down the hall, through the living room barging into the bedroom and into the master bath, throwing scissors on the counter and slamming a drawer open and shut to grab his beard trimmer.  Galadriel just stared for a moment, and then had to shut her mouth and force her face out of a smirk.  Halbrand was trying to cut his hair.  Despite the grumblings of “too fucking hot, fucking Sonoran desert” and the like, Galadriel managed to school her features and got out of bed to stand next to him in front of the mirror.  At least now she didn’t feel like the only one who was a hot mess all the time.  Halbrand really had no clue what he was doing and it was a bit disturbing—to watch him struggle.  She let him, glaring at her through the mirror while she soaked up the disaster of his scissor skills.

Suddenly Bilbo looked up. 'Ah, there you are at last, Dúnadan!' he cried.'

Strider!' said Frodo. 'You seem to have a lot of names.'

Oh Frodo, honey… you don’t know the half of it yet

#aragorn #frodo baggins #bilbo baggins #lotr #lotr newsletter #my op #every single time he meets a new group of people he gets a new name #i think Galadriel is the only exception to that and I assume it’s because she’s busy playing matchmaker

[sanisse]

I know you’re backlogged and this blog is on the backburner right now, but if you ever have time I’d love to hear your thoughts on the absolute insanity that would occur in the possible event of a RoP Galadriel x LotR Galadriel

just saying

(Also I mean if you ever do a lotr/silm Galadriel nsfw I’d die of happiness but no rush or requests or anything. Just throwing some things out there for your brain to percolate with)

I don’t have a good explanation for why I feel like this has hate sex potential but it just does. RoP Gal is just so feisty and bitey and this feels like a “fight for dominance” situation except that I firmly believe Cate Blanchetriel would 100% come out on top and step on RoP Gal’s neck. I love them both but that’s the vibe I get but maybe that’s because RoP Gal would be such a fun bratty little partner that I can’t help myself 😭

#brain worm #fight fight fight #(except not really bc in this house all galadriels are valid) #step on my neck Cate

[kareenvorbarra]

Ju watching the first episode of Rings of Power: they’re trying to break the stereotype that all elves are beautiful

#all the men in this show are ugly except for the oc…..smh #I actually don’t mind how gil looks bc he’s allowed to have long dark hair #though he's not at all attractive #I’m most offended by galadriel’s actress being visibly younger than every man #even though she’s significantly older than all of them #there’s no explanation other than misogyny

[otakugoddes]

The Rings of Power ending got me like: I KNEW IT! I fucking knew there was something up with Halbrand the whole time! Everything just made sense in the last episode though.

Why is is always the pretty/hot ones? HUH?! I swear it's always the pretty/hot ones that are:

1. Emotionally unavailable and unstable.

2. Are the bad guys.

3. Are Dead.

And in that order too😭😭💀

Man wtf😭😭😭

The ending was a fucking masterpiece though.

#Rings of Power #Galadriel #Halbrand #Sauron #Lord of the Rings #zoë's rants #Except Arondir...nah he's fucking beautiful and he's gonna live coz i said so #I knew Halbrand was sketchy #He's a snake he is...but so hot...and for WHAT😭😭💀

[anragaire]

Lmao imagine this entire time Anson Boon was actually cast as Celeborn and he just shows up in ep 8 chilling in Eregion.

#everyone theorising about Boon being Annatar in Eregion being entirely right except for the wrong character #and the showmakers just had to deal with the absolute scenes of us all thinking he was Sauron #hilarious #the rings of power #trop #tropedit #lotr #trop spoilers #rings of power #tolkien #celeborn #eregion #galadriel #anson boon

should i watch rop 😭 ive heard so many things... i don't want to see my silm faves in shambles 😭 but i also want to judge for myself...

#i heard celebrimbor is crusty #and maedhros doesnt have his LITERALLY iconic red hair THAT HE WAS NAMED AFTER #and elrond & galadriel's characterizations are questionable #like ive literally heard nothing good LOL #except the diverse casting 👌👌 #i stand by doriath being east asian 😢🙏 #missing him (túrin) #the indomitable human spirit etc etc #chelle.txt #i know some ppl were mad about the elves not having long hair too 😢 #at first i was like ehh that's just an aesthetic thing but like #its also a pretty big part of how tolkien wrote elvish culture #like lúthien chopping her hair off to save beren was a big moment bc elves traditionally keep their hair long #so like. :/ wigs are a thing #ok i give in i will maybe try the pilot lol #my 2nd age knowledge is rusty at best but
