The Fair Hunter.

I am known to many as Celegorm the Fair, third son of Feanor and Nerdanel, former master of the hound Huan and former (and favourite) pupil of the Vala Orome and friend of all birds and beasts of Valinor. Ask me whatever you wish. Arriba, muchachos. ((Icon credits: daLomacchi on deviantart))

[ask-celegorm]

Celegorm, known as The Fair: Say, you say you're a hunter. Please, hear my request, for I have need of such skills. Mayhaps you know of the fate of the Witchking of Angmar? And my seven other compatriots. Well, 'tis awkward because I am the only Nazgul to remain within the confines of Middle Earth. For some reason, Nazgul #1, our superior, has now set his sights on exterminating me. Perhaps you could hunt him down? Please? Sincerely, Nazgul #7

The Witch King of Angmar? Is he not one of your order? If my snooping around on the Tumblr proves me correct, this Witch King was destroyed by a Mortal woman of the land of Rohan, and the rest of your order have been vanquished at the destruction of the One Ring. You and your superior seem to be the only ones left. I do not believe I can hunt him down, however. Lord Namo forbids me - or any of the rest of my family - to leave the Halls without permission after how my brother forcefully broke out some time ago. I do, however, wish you the best of luck in avoiding your superior!

“What would make you think all was forgiven? I haven’t seen much repentance going on.”

This entire time in Mandos is punishment enough, and I do not fear - nay, I expect - only a much, much longer sentence. Of all my brothers I believe I will spend the longest time in these Halls, if I am ever set free, that is.

That is not for you to decide whether the punishment is enough. Nor me either, even if I would that it were. You yet have hope of seeing your brothers again and your kin. What of my flesh and blood? You do not know the meaning of punishment.

#at least she’s not in there with you

I do indeed see my brothers, on the occasion. Many of them have retreated somewhere and I have not seen them lately. However, truly I do not know where Luthien is. We have spoken through this Tumblr thing, but she is far away, someplace I do not believe I will ever reach, with her Beren. I believe it is for the better.

“How dare you even speak her name! I would strike you down were you here! Your brothers are right to avoid you and each other come to that. FOR THE BETTER!” Thingol fumes angrily. “I am glad she is not with you there but do not think FOR ONE SECOND that it is worth never having hope of seeing my child again!”

[ask-celegorm]

Celegorm visibly flinched at the reply, memories of what he had done in the name of the Oath, in the name of pride and arrogance and blasted jewels flooding back, smothering him like a wave. "Strike me down. What hope do I have of seeing her again? What hope do I want of seeing her again? It is nothing less than I deserve, for shame." He straightened. "However, I love another now, Greycloak. Your precious daughter will be safe from the likes of big, bad me regardless."

The Lord of the Rings Meme | ten scenes (2/10)

Farewell to Lórien.

This is my favorite fucking scene. 

If you’ve read the Silmarillion, you know who Fëanor was. If you don’t, Fëanor was the dickhead who created the Silmarils: three indescribably beautiful and magical jewels that contained the light and essence of the world before it became flawed. They were the catalyst for basically every important thing that happened in the First Age of Middle Earth.

It is thought that the inspiration for the Silmarils came to Fëanor from the sight of Galadriel’s shining, silver-gold hair.

He begged her three times for single strand of her beautiful hair. And every time, Galadriel refused him. Even when she was young, Galadriel’s ability to see into other’s hearts was very strong, and she knew that Fëanor was filled with nothing but fire and greed.

Fast forward to the end of the Third Age.

Gimli, visiting Lorien, is also struck by Galadriel’s beauty. During the scene where she’s passing out her parting gifts to the Fellowship, Galadriel stops empty-handed in front of Gimli, because she doesn’t know what to offer a Dwarf. Gimli tells her: no gold, no treasure… just a single strand of hair to remember her beauty by.

She gives him three. Three.

And this is why Gimli gets to be an Elf Friend, people. Because Galadriel looks at him and thinks he deserves what she refused the greatest Elf who ever lived—- and then twice that. And because he has no idea of the significance of what she’s just given him, but he’s going to treasure it the rest of his life anyway.

Just look at that smile on Legolas’s face in the last panel. He gets it. He knows the backstory. And I’m pretty sure this is the moment he reconsiders whether Elves and Dwarves can’t be friends after all.

This moment was one of my father’s favorite parts of the book.  He couldn’t stop talking about it.

I was disappointed when I didn’t see it in the first movie in theaters.  While I know that the extended cut has tons of awesome footage, I would watch it just to see this scene.

[mordanthallion]

YES OMG THIS IS WHY I JUST HAD ALL THESE FEELS AND YOU PUT IT SO ELOQUENTLY AND NO ONE ELSE GOT IT

[kryka83]

Wait, whut?!? Oh my goodness!!! Now I have to read The Silmarillion! I was wondering what I missed from this moment in the extended edition of the movie! Thank you for posting this! My emotions are dead from this epicness!!! *cries*

With her, there were no other flames but the flame of her hair in the light and on some days the vivid scarlet of her dress. She was the fire he could watch as it turned and danced, the fire he could hold, the fire undying like the one in his chest. To him, there was no woman as perfect as Nerdanel, because there was no flame as perfect as her, either.
