Elrond be like: I am 4/8 human, 3/8 elf, and 1/8 angel. My mother is a bird and my father is the North Star. My twin brother was the first king of Atlantis but somehow I seem to be more famous than him. I am one of three ringbearers, the other two being the female version of Feanor and a guy who loves fireworks. My foster father is a crazy homeless guy who likes music and his whole family is dead. My many-greats grandnephew is in love with my daughter. No one can tell my sons apart. I like waterfalls and am both a glorified innkeeper and a top-notch doctor. I am the voice of reason no one listens to.

fun fact: hes specifically 9/16 elf, 6/16 human, and 1/16 maia! also fun fact: due to the maiarin ancestry on elwings side of the family, earendil is the only (iirc) literal half-elf, as in 50/50 elf/human heritage, in the history of ever.

you can’t leave this in the tags

I think if speaks so well of Elrond's parenting that he could have three troubled kids but he has none?

Twins with a revenge storyline? Will treat everybody remarkably well as long as they aren't orcs

Daughter with a forbidden romance storyline? Happy to rely on her family to help her through this difficult experience

Let me also add

Son adopted so that he could be raised basically in a witness protection program? Healthily attached to both his family by birth and his family by adoption. No conflicts about his identity, not out for revenge, just a good guy, subverts the Chosen One syndrome very gracefully

#Yes yes yes!#Elrond deserves much love#and Celebrian#don't forget they had an awesome mother#It speaks wonderfully well of Elrond that when he lost Celebrian he did not become bitter#Ignore the movie version#he stayed to help#to guide#to stand against Sauron as he had for Ages#and only once that job was done and his kids were safe#did he leave to go to his beloved wife#and get his well-earned rest (Via @hollerswrites)

All that pain and misery and loneliness, and it just made him kind.

not to be too negative but, downgrade of the century

THE LORD OF THE RINGS costumes appreciation: ― Elrond’s council robes (costume design by Ngila Dickson and Richard Taylor)

tbh I’ve always found it very funny that Elrond is like “there’s no point bringing Glorfindel on the quest, even though he’s a balrog-slayer. You won’t need balrog-slayers” and then thirty pages later they run into a balrog

POLITICALLY AMBITIOUS ELVEN LEADER??

Politically ambitious

Politically ambitious

Politically ambitious

Elrond, heir to three houses of Edain, descendant of three elven tribes, great grandchild of a divine being, twin of a brother that started long line of Númenor kings, mister 'I will build a safe haven where everyone is welcome provided they don't bring ill will into it' instead of a fucking palace, renowned scholar and best healer in Middle earth, THAT Elrond??????

LOTR characters as things I’ve heard people say

Lord of the Rings + Reductress Headlines (Part 3)

I know people like to say that the reason Pippin was overly familiar with Denethor was just because of a difference in dialect, but personally I like to think that when Pippin heard ‘Steward of Gondor’ he went, “oh, like the Thain of the Shire” and proceeded to talk to him the way he’d talk to the Thain—which is to say, politely, but like an equal

actually I’m pretty sure the hobbits do this everywhere they go, because the only authority figure a hobbit is ever overly obsequious with is Smaug, and that’s mostly as a ruse.

which leads me to my next point: Bilbo thinks that Elrond Peredhil, Scion of Lúthien the Fair, Ward of Maedhros and Maglor Fëanorian, Lord of Imladris, and one of the Wise, is equivalent in rank to the Mayor of the Shire
