#golweneth

currently in bed hoping my food stays down, but all this rest has me thinking more about my writing and i'm thinking about Elrond and Golweneth. if you've read a bit about her diaries you'll know she's a loremaster in training during her youth in Gondolin, and i think she'll stick with that throughout the rest of her life, so now a very obvious connection is formed, especially since she's friends with Idril - is she going to be better acquaintances with the house of Elrond? she meets Merion after the sacking of Eregion but does not stay in Rivendell (or what will become the homely house), but i've already established that Elrond does know Golweneth and Merion. why not make the connection a bit deeper? just because Erin's parents have friends doesn't necessarily mean she has to know much about them or even be familiar with them after all, so i'm highly considering (for many reasons) establishing a better connection between Mélamar Ilyavan and Imladris. this might cause some issues but idk i think it makes sense?? world building in a built world is hard y'all, and i don't just want characters to be friends for th sake of it, but the more i think about it the more it actually makes sense for them to know each other, especially considering Golweneth's journey in life and her particular interests. lots to consider all of a sudden (and ooh that's exciting actually)
