Brb about to cry myself to sleep about Haldir dying in the films and the emotional damage that had to have caused Celeborn in particular.
I can only imagine Celeborn and Haldir being friends and becoming close for centuries upon centuries, and perhaps even Celeborn himself (not Galadriel, but him alone) specifically choosing Haldir to be Marchwarden.
Because he would trust no other more with such a title and task.
And then off Haldir goes with a final goodbye, off to Helm's Deep to fight alongside the race of Men.
And Celeborn waits. And waits. And until all the bodies of elves from the battle get brought back home to Lothlórien, he worries.
And he sees Haldir's bow. Then his quiver, then his sword, and then- his body.
And all he does for weeks is cry. He ponders leaving his own kingdom for Valinor- but what use is it, when his people need him?
Even so, until time comes where he finally leaves Middle Earth- he is miserable and dimmed and lonely, even with Lady Galadriel by his side.
He is only made happy again when he crosses to Valinor, and there are countless familiar faces waiting, banners risen high in honour of his arrival.
And out from behind one steps Haldir, face softened and chin held high, before he dips it to his Lord, like he always had.
Celeborn has never found himself moving faster, and he hugs his beloved Marchwarden so closely Haldir can feel just how much he trembles.

(submission) Head shy Jigen
Ok so, this is gonna get pretty long, but basically
I headcanon Jigen is head shy, he doesn't like people touching his head/face unless its absolutely necessary. But its not just because of the hat, he just uses that as an excuse. It’s mainly because due to him being a gunman he’s extremely protective about his eye’s. Even the permeant loss of one eye can drastically screw with his depth perception and when your entire life is based around looking down the scope of a gun it’s no laughing matter.
So far only lupin has been allowed to touch his head intimately or otherwise because he has the most trust in lupin.
Because of this large bond of trust, forehead presses or face touching tend to be drastic indicators of how close the pair are to one another, since it seems only lupin can get away with doing it. If its not lupin, expect jigen to be tending to his own head-wounds by himself.
Goemon has some leeway in touching Jigens face and head, but between the two, Lupin is allowed more free range and longer periods of time
As a addition to that HC I thought of something else. I always found head petting to be something that Jigen liked
But if it’s a comfort thing, or just the need to know someone’s there, Lupin forgoes petting/stroking his hair, and instead does something that only Jigen allows him to do, which is cup his face/cheeks with his hands. That is usually a big no no because that’s thumbs being way to close to his eyes, but with Lupin doing it, it doesn’t make him nervous, it’s a comforting and soothing thing
It’s kinda like a it’ll be ok or a it’s alright kind of thing
But here’s where it get’s angsty Lupin is a jackass
He would do it at the least opportune of moments
Like the bastard could be bleeding out to death after a shootout, and instead of worrying about himself like he should he randomly just cups Jigens face in his hey it’ll be alright kinda way and all Jigen can do is look at him cause he’s not the one bleeding to death currently yet Lupin still finds the need to show him it’ll be alright even tho all of Jigens finely tuned instincts are telling him No it’s not, it’s not ok
And the sad part is, Jigen would end up throwing those instincts telling him shit’s not ok out the window the moment Lupin would cup his face cause it’s like I trust him, I trust his judgement, if he says it’s alright then it’s ok, it’ll be okeven tho something is nagging at the back of his head telling him no
But Lupin hasn’t been wrong yet about these things
Like I said before, in situations like these Jigen would end up throwing whatever instincts telling him shit’s not ok out the window the moment Lupin would reassure him cause it’s like I trust him, I trust his judgement, if he says it’s alright then it’s ok, it’ll be ok even tho something is nagging at the back of his head telling him no
But what if it came to a end
Lupin is bleeding out somewhere and Jigen is essentially just. . .being Jigen he’s trying to take care of the situation, he’s trying to keep ‘em both safe cause that’s his job that’s what he’s promised to do, he’s promised to protect Lupin and he’s never broken that promise yet unless it was completely out of his control, but in the end it all worked out
Only this time, it isn’t. Something is different something is wrong, they both feel it but they don’t know what it is
Or maybe they do and their in strict denial about it, whatever the case something is wrong and either they both know what it is, or their both in strict denial about what it is .
But Lupin is calm, he always is of course until the moments he’s not, but in this instance he’s calm but he’s not calm for himself, he’s staying calm for Jigen, cause he knows how Jigen will get when he doesn’t feel in control of the situation he’ll get high-strung, antsy, prone to making stupid decisions that in his mind are last ditch efforts.
But Lupin is calm, and if he acts calm it oozes onto Jigen seemingly by osmosis and keeps him calm.
But times ticking, something is coming, somethings gonna happen Lupin feels it. Time passes into nearly a hour, Jigen is desperate and Lupin is already struggling to keep his eyes open despite Jigens attempts to stop whatever bleeding is going on. But still he’s calm, still he’s chill, because he doesn’t want Jigen to worry himself to death.
But Lupin doesn’t feel right. Something feels off, and as time ticks he begins to remember the feeling but still he’s calm, because he knows Jigen trusts his judgement, and maybe if he keeps Jigen calm something good will happen, he’s sure of it
But times still ticking, slowly but surly time is still marching on. And sometime after Jigen decides to stay close to him, to protect him like Lupin’s always been proud of knowing Jigen would do, even if it cost him his own life.
But he see’s the look in Jigens face. He knows somethings up, and Lupin doesn’t like that look, he likes calm Jigen he doesn’t like worried desperate Jigen.
So he does what he knows is best,
He puts his hand out and he cups Jigens cheek, it’s worked before to bring the gunman back to a stable mindset maybe it’ll work now.
Lupin doesn’t even realize the thin streak of blood he’s left on Jigens cheek
But Jigen doesn’t care, instead he holds the hand close to his face, cause this motion he recognizes. It means safe. It means everything will be ok
or at least it did Jigen isn’t looking at Lupin’s eyes, he doesn’t notice the sudden but smooth shift, he doesn’t notice the sudden blank stare, he doesn’t fully realize that this wasn’t a it’s going to be a ok motion that Lupin is doing
it’s a you’ll be alright and I’m sorry
Because Jigen think’s it’s Lupin reassuring him, telling him that everything will be fine
When in actuality, it’s Lupin saying goodbye
He doesn’t notice as he’s cradling the hand to his face, as Lupin slightly stiffens, eyes sliding away, expression blanking as some inner light, some indefinable soul, snuffs out as easily as you'd pinch the flame of a candle between your fingers. And just like that he’s gone he's gone.
It’s so quick that by the time Jigen notices something is wrong, Lupin is gone. There’s nothing he can do. All Lupin left behind was an empty shell, a corpse, knock-knock, nobody's home, and his glassy eyes are still open. And they seem sad, almost guilt ridden as if apologizing about his own death as it happened, once again always tripping over himself to make amends, especially to Jigen.
And Jigen doesn’t notice until last moment because Lupin cradled his face in a signature everything will be alright and Jigen believed him.
The shock takes hold quick, Jigen doesn’t get angry, he doesn’t cry, he doesn’t scream at the blistering sun to bring back the one thing worth living for in his life.
He doesn’t do anything cause now he’s numb, it’s hit him, the situation has hit him but not in the way that warrants any form of emotion except complete numbness. Instead he rocks himself, eyes closed, Lupin’s hand still warm from where it had braced Jigens face, and lets himself shut down, and lets himself believe that Lupin was still right as he still cradles the hand against his face
that everything would still be ok when he opened his eyes again
