wait for this https://www.tumblr.com/spoonsandsporks/755104817199857664?source=share i gotta say your character archetype is 100% guy who regrets living when the person they were meant to protect has died
(for the character archetypes post)
H-hey man you don't gotta come for me like that...
But also y e a h I see it, for both oc's I've made and that dwalin fic I'm writing huh. Either that, or characters who would regret should the worst occur but it simply hasn't happened yet. Yet.
Hey thanks for the ask here's a sneak peak of some writing I've done for that fic:
“Leg-” he clears his throat and starts again, “The elves call it ‘sea-longing’, I think. The roaring of waves, the cries of gulls. It wears them down and reminds them of death, inevitably. They either leave for their shores to appease it, or die from it.”
“Do they now.” Dwalin states and it's not a question because he doesn't want to have this conversation and is determined to not care about the topic out of spite. He won't be ambushed like this and Gimli will have to work harder than that to get answers out of him.
Gimli squints, suspicious, “Yes. They do. I have it on good authority it's called ‘sea-longing’.”
“What is.” Dwalin almost demands, though there's no heat in it, he's too tired for that nowadays.
Gimli finds his gaze with a look in his eyes that is sympathetic enough to be sickening, “I think you know what.”
Guess they're both done asking questions they already know the answers to.
