{To be perfectly honest, I can’t seem to gather enough inspiration for Glorfindel. He seems to be happy to just lurk in the back of my brain... So, for now, I’m putting this blog on a semi-permanent-hiatus... That is: I may reply here and there, but there certainly won’t be anything active going on.

And since I was sooooooo productive, I doubt there will be anyone disappointed. So, probably not the worst situation~ }

“it is a fool’s prerogative to utter truths no one else will speak.”

Starter meme  //  @fundinson

Glorfindel carefully regarded the person in front of him. For all his travels and wanderings, dwarves still managed to elude and fascinate him. The tenuous relationship they had with his own kin; distrust and enmity that seeped into the centuries of unresolved issues - it left a bitter taste in his mouth and earning in his heart.

“But doesn’t it simply rob the truth of its impact?” Glorfindel tilted his head to the side, offering the dwarf a slight smile. “The words of a fool, no matter how accurate, may be neglected under a pretense that they come from an unsuitable source...”

“To be a fool is both an elation and a burden. I suppose each soul has to decide whether they are able to bear what befalls such title.”

“the price of wisdom is above rubies.”

“when do the nightmares slip out into the daylight?”

“it was a dark and stormy nightmare.”

“I left a monarch. yet I return alone…hungry.”

“never trust a [insert word here]. he has a hundred motives for anything he does - 99 of them, at least, malevolent.”

“I would have dreamed of you…if I could dream.”

“the real problem with stories: if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death.”

“little ghost, get out of my way.”

“I’ve learned from my mistakes, but I’ve had more time to commit more mistakes.”

“I suppose there are worse endings.”

“it is a fool’s prerogative to utter truths no one else will speak.”

“I only have two kinds of dreams: the bad and the terrible.”

“the price of getting what you want is getting what you once wanted.”

“it’s part of growing up, I suppose. you always have to leave something behind you.”

“nobody looks up in the sky anymore.”

“everybody has a secret world inside of them.”

“it is sometimes a mistake to climb, it is always a mistake never even to make the attempt.”

“sometimes you wake up. sometimes the fall kills you. and sometimes, when you fall, you fly.”

“without dreams, there could be no despair.”

“it is unwise to summon what you cannot dismiss.”

“never trust the storyteller. only trust the story.”

“destiny is blind.”

“remember how hard it was for me to leave, and that it was not your fault.”

“life, like time, is a journey through darkness.”

“I like the stars. It’s the illusion of permanence, I think. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments.”

“when something ends, there’s always something left over. a story, or a vision, or a hope.”

“I don’t recommend revenge. it tends to have repercussions.”

“honesty is a somewhat overrated virtue.”

“I suppose the point you grow up is the point you let the dreams go.”

“the things we do make echoes.”

“all journeys leave marks on us.”

“have you ever been in love? horrible, isn’t it? it makes you so vulnerable.”

“when there’s no hope, you might as well be dead.”

“they will haunt your sleep until you die.”

“everything changes, and nothing is truly lost.”

The sound of an unfamiliar voice dragged Glorfindel out of his idle musings. This place, magnificent and so distinctly otherworldly, brought out the melancholic part of him. He could still recall the glory of his home, the simple happiness of being... With a shake of his head, the warrior turned to fully face his newfound companion.

“That is a shadow that hangs over us all.” Ever so carefully he inclined his head, taking in the unmistakable bearing of the one whose shoulders are weighed down by more than just his own fate - a royalty. “Of course, there is a distant possibility it is merely a rumour, a falsehood meant to confuse and intimidate.” As he said it out loud, such hope seemed meager and foolish, for he knew what the darkness was capable of spewing out, the grotesque and cruel creatures it harbored in its depths. The idea that there was something even more twisted creeping upon the free lands was all too real.

But he was getting ahead of himself. There was time to act and time to wait - and no matter how hard it was for him to accept it, in this particular situation the latter was reigning supreme. 

“However, I must admit, my lord, I am not the best suited for the role of an adviser.” A grim expression crossed his face as the memory of fire and desperation carried with it the hidden pain. “All I am capable of offering is the assurance that the shadow, no matter how dark or grim, can always be defeated. For there is no such thing as ultimate power in this world.”

     Golden hair caught Thranduil’s eye, causing him to pause as he took in the sight. He knew this elf— but not by sight alone; he had heard another speak his name, and it was that name which he recognized. He had first really learned of Glorfindel in Beleriand, for word of his deeds reached even those who had been forced to flee Doriath..

     ❝I have heard much,❞ he spoke quietly, moving to stand next to Glorfindel, but allowed his attention to be drawn outwards, to their surroundings. There was something about the prince’s carriage, akin to reluctant admiration and respect that drew him closer, mixed with a distrust which pushed him away.

     This elf’s great deeds aside, Thranduil’s upbringing and the past events in his life did little to endear him to the Noldor.

     ❝But I KNOW little.❞ Safe, and content to complete his healing, in his father’s kingdom he had been for many hundreds of years now. It was in such a state which he feared he had now grown too ignorant. ❝Word of most terrible servants of the Enemy rising have reached me of late…❞

#elfweek day 4: Elven Realms of Arda

[aureafortis-blog]

When you want to interact with people on your dash you’ve never talked to before but are mad shy

[aureafortis-blog]

Imladris was - and always shall be - a gem in the midst of gathering shadows. Many souls sought peace and tranquility provided by these walls and it was his duty, as well as his honor, to protect them. A soft sound of gentle footsteps upon the path snapped him out of his thoughts - there would be a more suitable time for musings later.

Glorfindel turned his head to the side and a smile stretched his lips as he was met with the most welcome sight; the precious lady of the house, surrounded by the brightness of nature and surpassing it all.

“I must admit such delicate beauty is lost to me.” He shook his head, as if chasing away the envisioned gloom. “Maybe I am too busy mourning the loss of the summer sun.”

One more look at the Lady and Glorfindel’s smile transformed into a grin. It was fascinating how similar, yet also different she was from her brothers; each with their own strengths and vices. Without so much a word, he swiftly plucked her burden away, carefully balancing the newfound load lest the books scattered together with the fallen leaves.

“You are your father’s daughter, through and through. And by that, I mean you tend to take on more than is strictly necessary.”

          Amid autumn leaves she walked, arms filled with stack of books for return upon the shelves. Not often was it that Arwen caught glimpse of GOLDEN hair, yet when she did; the sun seemed p a l e in comparison. A golden flower he was himself –aside from his chosen house. It was such sight that gave her pause, and feet began to approach without second thought.  

                  “The changing leaves are BEAUTIFUL this year, are they not?”

Characters of the Silmarillion

Glorfindel : How do I begin to explain Glorfindel? Glorfindel is flawless. I hear his hair is insured for 3 Silmarils. He does shampoo commercials… in Mordor. His favourite tv show is How I Met Your Balrog. One time he met Galadriel in Imladris and she told him he was pretty. One time he came back from the dead. It was awesome.
