Celeborn : ....

Legolas : ...

Glorfindel : "well... There's only one way to find-"

Elrond, spraying them all with water : "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

Anonymous asked:

AU where Faramir went to Rivendell instead of Boromir?

notbecauseofvictories answered:

Everything turns out okay.
That sounds flippant but imagine Denethor sending the right son to do the right job.
Faramir goes to the cool green glade of Elrond, where he speaks of dreams and waves, and the elves whisper that the blood of Numenor runs true in the House of Hurin; Boromir spends his time riding like hell between Ithilien and Osgiliath, speaking with men around smoky fires, embracing his captains and saying to them, take heart, gather your strength, these are the times which test a man’s soul and lift it to glory, but we will see dawn come, we will keep Gondor free.
Though they are cut from different cloth, this is something Boromir and Faramir have always shared–they are men deserving of leadership, they would be followed under the shadow of the East. Boromir aches for every one of his countrymen cut down, screams his defiance to the orc armies and rallies his arms; Faramir listens to the words of wisdom Aragorn offers, is gentle and kindly with the hobbits, greets Legolas in his mother tongue, offers Master Gimli praise.
Wandering with the Fellowship below the empty sky, Faramir looks up at Maethor, the Warrior constellation, and thinks of his brother, prays that he is well, that he is safe, that he is still a little pompous, stilted, honest.
Boromir spends another sleepless night playing with the chain at his neck, the small portraits of his mother and brother. (I cannot lose you too, I cannot–come back hale and whole, come back angry and proud and cunning and defiant of our father–)
Faramir has never known the weight of all Gondor on his shoulders, and so is not tempted by the power the Ring offers.
Boromir has always known the love of his father, and so never bears the scorn of Denethor when Osgiliath must be abandoned as too tenuous a position to hold.
The day that Faramir comes striding into the Citadel, a child and wizard at his heels, Boromir cries out with joy as he has not for more years than counting, and they nearly bruise one another with their embrace.
“You are almost skeletal, little brother,” Boromir laughs, though it is not true–Faramir looks touched with strangeness and greatness, as one whom the Witch-Queen of Lorien found favor in, whose nobility of form and face had ensnared the heart of the White Princess of Rohan.
“And you look at least two-stone heavier, elder brother,” Faramir says, though it is false, Boromir is hollowed out and worn thin, deep shadows beneath his eyes and hunger-starved cheeks; in a glance, Faramir knows he neither eats nor sleeps nor laughs, nor feels–and Faramir, wiser and older than when he left, can see the weight his brother has always carried, and how lightly–all the stone of Minas Tirith on his shoulders, and still–
“I have missed you, little brother.”
“And I you, elder brother.”

sons of fëanor: celegorm the fair

In later days they were great hunters in the woods of Middle-earth; and a hunter also was Celegorm, who in Valinor was a friend of Oromë, and often followed the Vala’s horn.

glorfindel-of-imladris

this is our annual reminder that Galadriel courted Celeborn and not the other way around and her being too busy to secure That Pretty Sinda™ in the First Age is probably the one thing that saved her from the finwëan specialty that is dropping off of the family tree

#galadriel my favorite weird woman #you did good #i know you worked hard on that man #to be a descendant of finwë is a curse at this point #you can't say she doesn't have that same fire in her veins #but luckily she channelled that into the pursuit of a pretty boy in the first age lmao

Me posting my usual nonsense on here while Glorfindel is going through a painful breakup in my other blog is not psychopath behavior, I checked.

#a study however can be made #on the correlation between number of shitposts #and the level of pain you are inflicting on your blorbo #i'm sure results would come out significant #speaking of shitposts #shitpost

Glorfindel, throwing himself on Erestor's lap: Tell me I'm pretty!

Erestor, tenderly stroking Glorfindel's hair: You're pretty fucking annoying, that's what you are.

The fact that Orlando Bloom (Legolas) and Andy Serkis (Gollum) both said that they based their performances in Lord of the Rings off of cat behavior really shows you the sheer range of what cats are like

melpomaen asked:

Book Lindir for the sketch idea?

tralalalalally answered:

i've never drawn him before, and don't know much about him, but i do like how cheeky the elves are in the hobbit particularly - i think him being a minstrel-type suits that

glorfindel-of-imladris

I love this and I love book!Lindir! His little banter with Bilbo was cute, and I imagine he is a regular at the Hall of Fire. The headcanon that he is one of the minstrels is also one that I love a lot.
