On Cirdan's name

So, Cirdan's other name is Nowë. Nowë sounds A LOT like Noé, which is the French version of Noah.

And what is Cirdan's job ?

MAKING BOATS !

That's it, that's what I wanted to say ⛵

Círdan the Shipwright 💙⛵🐚💍 Lord of the Falathrim and Master of the Grey Havens ✨

[elmendea]

he is so perfect in this role, I cannot--

like. look, you don't understand. I've had Sam Neill as my Círdan in my head since like...'03, '04? I was that bitch who was whining on Livejournal and moaning when the super popular LotR websites were painting the Shipwright as basically Draco Malfoy's father with silver hair (no, no kidding, I cannot tell you how many blends/photomanips I saw of beardless Círdan who looked as cold as ice, and that was like, accepted as the canon. Go straight to hell, damn). Like. I was so ready to panic about who they cast as this astounding, beautiful elf that I have loved for the longest time. Who could do better than who I casted in my head?

Ben goddamn Daniels is who.

He is so absolutely, utterly Círdan I can hardly believe it. He is this paragraph come to life: "Very tall he was, and his beard was long, and he was grey and old, save that his eyes were keen as stars", and the way he plays him, oh goodness. I can see all his wisdom and kindness and age and longing and steadfastness.

I mean. Just. Goddamn. Like, do you have any idea how much this elf has denied his own happiness and longing to make sure his divinely appointed task wasn't just done, but done well? And his longing was like a sunset that never passed into dusk, no less -- and Ben Daniels communicated that in his performance. And took my breath away wholly.

I have fallen in love with this character ten times harder than I already was, and that, my friends, is utterly unheard of. This actor is a delight and this show is a Silmaril in the sunset. ♥

Círdan

"Abide now that time, for when it comes then will your work be of utmost worth, and it will be remembered in song for many ages after." Círdan answered "I obey"

Nowë, the Círdan

for sis @djladyextasy 🙌🤗

“The wreckage of the war is immense. The River Sirion is destroyed. Much of the north of the land west of the Ered Luin is laid waste and sinks into the sea. The surviving Elves of Beleriand are bidden by Eönwë to return with him to the lands of Aman. Most of them do so, but others refuse the summons and instead journey eastward where they become lords of the remaining Noldor and Sindar, as well as others in the east such as the Silvan Elves. Among these were Gil-galad, Galadriel and Celeborn, Círdan, Elrond, Celebrimbor, and Thranduil. It should be noted that Círdan was following his mission set by the Valar in the First Age and therefore the summons likely did not apply to him.”
