When Luthien was still a Fresh Adult and Thingol thought that it was still important that she be taught all of the usually 'traditional' female hobbies/chores.

Which Luthien was NOT a fan of, taking (or creating) even the smallest of opportunities to express her displeasure.

The last straw for Thingol was when Luthien was supposed to be learning how to make simple garments, but instead made extremely elaborate and matching cloaks for her and Thranduil that read:

"Become Ungovernable" on the front and "Or die trying" on the back.

Oropher dying and the first face he sees after reaching the halls is thingols

Poor Oropher 😭😭 He must have been so confused at first, maybe he even thought he passed out in the battlefield and he was having some sort of dream about Thingol but he's super excited to see him nonetheless. Even if it IS only a dream.

But then it set in that it isn't a dream, it's real. At least, his version of reality now. And he' still so, so happy to be with his best friend again. The one he's known and loved since the literal dawn of time for the elves.

But he's still so sad. Heartbroken and devastated because he left his boys. He left his people. He left his body as Thranduil held him close screaming and begging for him not to go.

At least Thingol is there to hold him tightly as he experiences a different kind of grief that he never expected
