“Shut up and hold me.”

Ecthelion was an introvert. He wasn’t one to easily communicate with people for anything other than work. This time too, he had thought he would have a small talk with the golden elf about their respective houses. Yet he found himself opening up to this near stranger.

Glorfindel and Ecthelion had talked before, but not really in a friendly chit-chat manner. A quick news of what is going on, or maybe a command from Turgon, nothing else. But today Glorfindel came out of nowhere, offering him a small woodcarving.

Ecthelion complimented it, hoping the other would go away, but they didn’t. Instead Glorfindel stayed, seemingly concerned with his life.

“I am fine. How about you?” Ecthelion asked. Grave mistake. It ensued further communication.

Ecthelion zoned out. He was sitting by the ledge of his fountain. It was in a more remote location of Gondolin, for it was large and deep. Ecthelion knew the design was dangerous. The ledge protruded inside the fountain’s bowl quite bit, making it very difficult to get out of the fountain if you ever fell inside.

And that was exactly what happened. Ecthelion absent-mindedly leant back too far, slipped and fell into the fountain. Glorfindel started laughing. The elf was unaware of it’s design hazard.

Ecthelion groped at the sides, his fingers slipping on the polished marble. He panicked, and screamed out Glorfindel’s name.

Glorfindel finally seemed to realize that something was wrong. He managed to pull out the panicked elf without much problem, for he was trying to stay afloat.

“I could’ve died…” Ecthelion whispered, wrapping his arms around himself. His cloak and everything was dripping wet.

Glorfindel didn’t say anything. He was speechless. Carefully, he leaned over the surface of the water, and noticed the trap-like built.

“Why do you have such a fountain?”

Ecthelion stayed silent. It was none of of Glorfindel’s business. The reason stays and dies with him.

Glorfindel hugged the wet elf, uncaring of his own garments. “I got scared. I thought you could get out on your own, and were just sort of acting.”

Ecthelion leaned into the embrace. Glorfindel continued, “I uh- Can I do something for you? Should I get you warmer clothes? You can wear mine if you want.”

“Shut up and hold me.”

Glorfindel shut up. Ecthelion buried himself completely into the other’s embrace, feeling comfortable with a fellow elf after a long time. He had been isolating himself, finding no one he could click with.

Absolutely not a dumb question! Yes, it’s definitely possible to be ace but not aro (also known as alloromantic). There are a lot of alloromantic aces, you’re in good company. The ace and aro communities are sister communities, and we have a lot of overlap; I, personally, am aroace, but there are alloromantic aces and allosexual aros and we’re all under the larger a-spectrum umbrella.

@amazingaro is my sideblog for aspec things; there are lots of great ace focused blogs like @fuckyeahasexual, @ace-and-aro-support-group, @ace-and-aro-wlw-positivity, @exceptionallyace, and @grace-and-ace that you could check out for more info and advice! I’d also recommend the podcast @soundsfakepod!

As a general rule? No. Granted, people can have certain biases when it comes to shipping, but those biases apply whether the ship is popular or not. Thinking about, for example, those homophobic folk who will tell people not to ship a gay pairing because the characters can’t be gay. They will be more vocal when it comes to popular ships, but they will also be mad about the rarepairs. But if someone simply says that they don’t like a ship, there’s absolutely no reason to think that they must have some kind of hidden agenda against it. Usually if someone tells me they don’t ship something popular I just assume it’s because they don’t like the ship, and they wouldn’t like it regardless of whether it’s a popular ship or not.

Also because I’ve seen many times people say “if you don’t ship this popular ship you are in denial” and then the ship was a fanon ship that would most likely never be made canon. So, in denial about what? I don’t know, I get wanting your ship to have a canon basis for it, but sometimes I really see people desperately climbing on mirrors trying to say why their ship is actually canon if you squint. And I never really got it, because shipping for me isn’t about what is canon or isn’t canon. Even if my ships never became canon, that wouldn’t stop me from liking them and thinking the characters have chemistry between them. Fandom is transformative, after all. If we can all make the most canon divergent au fanfics possibly imaginable, surely we can ship something fanon?

And frankly, if there is a possible bias that makes people not ship something popular on purpose, it’s shippers attitudes usually. I can name multiple ships that are extremely popular, that I was overall fairly neutral on, but the shippers were so insufferable that I grew to hate the ship thanks to them. Like when you see something you don’t overly mind, but it’s everywhere, and people are screaming about how you must be blind not to see it, and telling you you must ship it, you start to get angry on reflex whenever you see that thing.

🦋 If your OC could change everything (or just something) about their life would they? What would they change? What do they think would happen if they did? What would their loved ones think?

I would be happy to give you more!

He would probably just bring his family back from the dead. At this point, I don’t think he’d actually care how much chaos they would create, so long as they were there and he had someone to have some company.

Now, you didn’t ask for it but, here he is:
