Gwindor is totally fantastic. He’s my baby. I’ve talked about him here, but I always love talking about him. Actually the part I like most (what kind of sicko am I, right?) is the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, where it’s basically singlehandedly his fault Fingon’s forces commit too early. But they drag his (blind) brother up there and torture him to death, you’re damn right he’s going to charge in there like he wants to kill everyone and has a death wish—because he does. He scares the crap out of Morgoth and here’s the part where we expect him to bite it. 

The worst part is, the really masterful part (if by “masterful" we mean “Ouch, thank you Tolkien, my feels,") is that he doesn’t die, just when he most wants to die. No, no, and it’s not like he lives so that he can play through this and grow or anything, no: he lives for capture, imprisonment, torture, an escape that makes him mistrusted by his own people, physical trauma that never heals, watching his girlfriend fall in love with someone else, and death knowing his home was destroyed. And I hate it because at the end there it’s like Gwindor got Refrigeratored just to advance Turin’s plotline. 

They’ll see your posts, the only thing blocking someone does is that you won’t see their posts.
