co-high kings galadriel & celeborn

since elrond doesn't want the kingship, galadriel & celeborn are the eldest in middle-earth of the lines of Olwe and Elmo respectively. olwe is older but hes the king of the teleri not specifically doriath sindar so there might be some dispute between which line the sindarin high kingship jumps to, but they very conveniently happen to already be married and so can skip all that and just be twice the headache for sauron

#silm #silmarillion #galadriel #celeborn #doriath #they picked yellow (like the mallorn leaves) as their accent color in place of melians pink #imagine if this was their backup plan if the aragorn distraction failed #oops the first long-lost heir claiming an ancient kingship wasnt enough to draw saurons attention away from mordor?#how about TWO not-so-long-lost heirs claiming one and a half ancient HIGH KINGSHIPS #now i wonder what would be the plan c after that #elrond agrees to claim the kingship for the good of middle earth and then promptly throws the crown away finrod-style the moment they win?#give arwen the noldorin high king/queenship and a really big dog?#let the twins share?#wait what would be the line of succession for the sindarin kingship if elrond doesnt want it #of the line of olwe galadriels the only one of the grandchildren left in middle earth #celebrian would be next or possibly gildor if hes actually finrods son #of the line of elmo celeborn and possibly thranduil (if oropher is celeborns brother) are still around #celebrian also goes next on this line and legolas on thranduil's side #and cirdan is floating around somewhere in the vague realm of 'kin of thingol'
