Hi Lindir! Iām such a big fan of Glorfindel and I heard that you know him. In fact I noticed you talk about him a LOT. You must be good friends! (Or maybe youāre a big fan like me? āŗļø) So I thought youād be a good person to ask what Iāve always wondered: are the rumors about him and Erestor true? š¤š¤
Good friends??? š±āØ YOU DARE ASK IF WEāRE GOOD FRIENDS?? š±
Iā oh, where do I even begin? That despicable glorious golden mess of a sunshine elf who has somehow managed to convince everyone that heās some kind of heroic figure? š¤¦āāļø Let me tell you, dearest friend, if only you knew.
I have known Glorfindel for ages, and I can confirm, without a doubt, that he is a constant source of unwanted drama, unneeded enthusiasm, andāquite franklyāunbearable levels of brightness.
Yes, brightness. (And no, not in the metaphorical or intellectual sense, I mean that his hair can blind you on a sunny day. It is distracting.) šš«š
Now, the rumors about him and Erestor, oh my starsādon't get me started. š¤ I do not know who started these heinous whispers, but I for one, would never indulge in such foolishness. Erestor and Glorfindel, eh? Letās just say their "friendship" is like a never-ending, dramatic, overly-verbose play with no real plotāand I have been unwillingly dragged into more rehearsals than I care to admit. š¤¦āāļøš
And the physical, my dear friend, the physical. š¤ Have you ever been in the same room as Glorfindel when he isn't glowing? Because I swear, when he's around, my very being feels like itās being suffocated by the sheer volume of radiance coming from him. Can someone please tell me how one elf can possibly manage to be this extra? The hair, the armor, the smiling, the breezy attitude, like heās some kind of celestial deityāitās enough to drive anyone to exhaustion. š©āØ
Do not let this "fame" fool you. Do not let the mysterious allure and dramatic entrances distract you. If you want to know the truth about Glorfindelāwell, letās just say, no one looks that perfect without a significant amount of work. 𤫠You think itās all natural? Trust me, it is not. No elf could possibly be this... shiny. š
I mean, letās be honestāI bet itās a weave. š¤ You canāt just naturally shine like that. Iāve seen the way his hair catches the lightāitās suspicious. No way that's just sun-kissed elven magic, nope. Iām calling it: high-end elven extensions with a touch of radiant glamour magic. šāāļøāØ
I am, unfortunately, acquainted with the walking beacon of eternal brightness, the golden drama king himself, Glorfindel. Yes. But let me be perfectly clear, my dear friend: good friends we are not. š
I am, however, well-versed in enduring his incessant golden glow and over-the-top heroics (all of which, I must stress, are mostly exaggerated). His hair never stops shiningāseriously, itās like he bathes in sunlight and uses it as a conditioner. Is this natural? I ask myself daily.
Is it possible to have that much radiance without some sort of magical contract? š«āØ (Maybe The Lady of Light herself is behind it???)
Letās talk about his "charming" personality, shall we? The āBlondest of Elves,ā as I call him, has a way of speaking in grandiose terms, like heās too important to be in the same room as the rest of us mere mortals. š Oh, youāre a āwar heroā and a āsaviorā? You must tell me about it for the millionth time, Glorfindel. Donāt worry, I have nothing else to do but listen to your tales of glory⦠and suppress the urge to roll my eyes every time you mention your "glorious" battles. š Brilliant. Truly.
And let us not forget his fashion senseāoh yes, the golden armor that screams, āLook at me! Iām the hero!ā as if anyone could possibly miss him in the middle of a battle. No, really, Glorfindel, youāre so subtle. Iām sure Morgothās forces quivered in terror at the thought of your glittering presence on the battlefield šāØ.
He gets enough praise as it isāhe does not need more! In fact, Iām pretty sure if he had one more compliment, his hair would spontaneously combust in an inferno of radiant self-satisfaction. š„š
Am I a fan, you ask? Of course not. Glorfindel is the last elf I would ever want to be a fan of, and let me be clearāif he ever catches wind of this postāIām absolutely certain heāll show up at Rivendell with his unfortunate hair and his tales of heroism in full force to āteach me a lessonā in some grandiose display of āgoodnessā. Iām sure Iāll be thrilled. š
Anyway, as for Erestor? He deserves better. Much better. Butāwell, itās not my place to say. But letās just say that if these rumors were true, Glorfindel would have me kicking him to the curb in a heartbeat. Thatās the friendship I could have. True friends, with no glowing distractions.
