High-King, please place this week's documents aside for a moment, I have an important query for you.
Who's the best hugger?
(You can judge this however you like: frequency of hugs, squishiness, extent of emotional alleviation etc...)
On the Matter of Hugs 🤗💙✨
📜✍️* Throws documents aside dramatically*
First, I must say, I am not the most obvious candidate for a hug. The moment someone makes an approach, it’s like an alarm has been set off… 🚨⚔️ everyone collectively forgets how to breathe. Not by my choice, mind you. And yet… a few have managed. So, let us review: ⚔️ Galadriel – The Unstoppable Hugger - She does not ask. She does not wait. If Galadriel deems a hug necessary, it is happening. I have attempted to sidestep... she simply recalibrates. 🏹✨ 🔨 Celebrimbor – The Distracted Hugger - Accidental hugs. They start with enthusiasm… one arm around your shoulder, and suddenly, you’re held hostage mid-explanation about alloy ratios. 🏗️🤝 ⛵ Círdan – The Measured Hugger - Rare, deliberate, and heavy with meaning. When Círdan hugs, it’s because words won’t suffice. 🌊💙
✨ Elrond – The Tactful Hugger - Measured. A hand on the shoulder, a steadying touch… and then there are other times... when I think I’m mentoring him, only to be ambushed... no warning. Just hug. As if he decided I needed it before I even realized it myself. That child… 🤝🍪 Tumblr Friends – The Boldest Hug Attempt - Yes, I have received hugs here… and sugg… ideas (my dear… you know who you are). I will just say... they have felt good. (Further hugs may be considered, especially if accompanied by cookies.) 🍪👀 Final Evaluation 📊🤨✨
Surprise Factor? Tumblr friends and Galadriel, you blink, and it’s happening. Squishiest? Elrond, surprisingly soft. Longest Hold? Celebrimbor, without a doubt. Most Soothing? Círdan, when he hugs, you listen. But truly, the best hugger?
I think… it’s not just about the hug itself, but the intent behind it. And on that count, I appreciate every single one of them. 💙✨🤗
