Elves

To their point of view, they're just living their lives, then suddenly a bunch of nattering stupid-heads arrive and take up on their land. They live like ten minutes and are dumber then rocks. Then a bunch of them start attacking them from the north and east. Then in the elves greatest time of need during the war with Morgoth, they most if them just go "Um never mind we don't feel like being with you," And just abandon them.

Then of course all the ring wraiths from men and then the dude who wouldn't destroy the ring after they killed Sauron's finger. So the fact that after all that they sent hundreds of men to die in helms deep is actually F'ing insane. Men don't really deserve the golden age after Lotr.

In your opinion, why did Ingwë, Finwë, Olwë and Elwë became the kings of the Elves ? Tolkien made them originally the eldest of the elves before giving that title to Imin, Tata and Enel. I am very curious to know why he did that. But most importantly, since now, Ingwë, Finwë, Olwë and Elwë were only descendants of the eldest elves, why did they became kings ? There is no mentions that Imin, Tata and Enel or their sons, died or disappears so what happenned to them ? Why aren't they the kings of the Eldars ?

What will Arwen and other elves who bond to earth will be counted as when they die. As elves or as humans in the halls of Mandos?

Whilst reading LOTR most can’t help but wonder how many Dúnedain and Elves are left in Middle Earth. So if you were to give a number, how many do you think there were in places like; Gondor, Arnor, Lothlórien, the Woodland Realm, Lindon, ect. ?

Fëanor is usually considered a villain. Most people see him as a fiend who slaughtered hundreds of innocent Elves, left his half-brother and allies stranded defenseless. But I see him as an Elf who lost everything, and went crazy as a result of that. An innocent victim of mind control, who made the choices that he made through the result of clever and malicious influence. My job today is to get you to see him the way that I do.

Fëanor was born to Finwë, who was King of the Noldor Elves, and Míriel. But giving birth to Fëanor took so much energy from Míriel that she died. So as soon as Fëanor was born, he lost his mother. Finwë married again, and married Indis, who Fëanor disliked. But Fëanor was a skillful artisan, and in fact was the most skillful ever. And so through years of hard work and extreme effort, with all of his skill and expertise, made a Silmaril, which captured the light of the Trees of Valinor. Morgoth, who was then called Melkor, saw the Silmarils, and coveted them. And so Melkor went to Finwë's house, killed him, and took the Silmarils. Fëanor loved both dearly and extremely. So let's count, shall we? His mother died before he met her, he lived as a child with a stepmother and half-brother who he disliked, his father was killed, and the Silmarils (which had an effect on the mind much like the Rings of Power) were taken away. He had lost everything dear to him.

He then gathered all of the Noldor, claimed their Kingship, and he and his sons swore an oath to always chase after the Silmarils, even if Eru Illuvatar were to stand in the way. And so they sailed to Middle-Earth, and assaulted Morgoth. But Morgoth sent out Balrogs against Fëanor and the Elves, and so they fought. And Fëanor was killed by the Lord of Balrogs, Gothmog. Let's look. He, in his grief and wrath swore an irreversible oath that directly affected one's thoughts to make it impossible to go against the oath, even if one desired not to.

Sure, he slaughtered the Teleri, and left most of the Noldor stranded, he was not thinking clearly, and was probably driven mad by the grief and anger of everything he had taken away. Just remember the rash things you do when consumed by the fire of anger.

I’m a little confused…is the Shire part of Rivendell? Is the Shire ruled by elves? And for that matter, the does the ruler rule over everyone in their territory in an elvish kingdom or just the elves?

Why do dwarves and elves hate each other and not mankind?

I’ve recently seen the LotR RoP teaser trailer, and the elf, probably one of the main characters, with black skin surprised me. Is there any evidence of elves with dark skin in Tolkien’s writings, or is it something they made purely for the series.

Just a question I had in my head as I watched it.

I have recently read somewhere that elves can only love once...does anyone know whether that's based on Tolkien's words, or just fan-invented?

Glorfindel was slain by a balrog in the first age, I believe, but is seen in LotR, saving Frodo from The Nine and taking him to Rivendell. I’m a bit confused about how he came back from the Halls of Mandos after his death, because if the Valar could resurrect Elves then how come they don’t bring back some of the greater ones, i.e Feanor or Fingolfin.

Who do you consider the strongest of the two races?

Personaly Fingolfin would be the strongest Elf while Turin Turambar i would consider to be the strongest Man

So it crossed my mind the other day, and tbh Google didn't tell me much when I asked:

Can Elves rap verses?

I wouldn't be surprised if Men did, Elves are my main focus right now.

Thanks!

So I was inspired byhttps://archiveofourown.org/works/21874765/chapters/52211158

And

So here are my ideas at first I had an idea where Maedhros didn't die but the fire pit was a portal to our world where he had a son that was rather quickly abandoned because A

TRUAMA!!!!!

And B

I was unsure what time period to send him there and how that would work with his adjustment also I didn't want to run the risk of writing a Mary sue

then I had an idea where Artanis's son went missing and was never heard from again until his daughter Emily shows up in middle earth and possibly with a sibling or two I do like this idea and plan on keeping it as either it's own AU or intertwining it into the one I am about to get to I really want to mix them but I don't think it will work if I writ anything with them together then in would be an AU within an AU one shot most likely the one about Emily and Co. would have more to do with the greenwood elves at this point heavily featuring some weighty elemental magic as well as a child (or two) of Morgoth by rape or deceit of taking a fair form and one or more children of other Ainur

now to the big one the main most fragments floating around in my head .......

It's a lot like the first link except I gave Amras a daughter her working name is Reina

it centers around Glorfindel and Feanaro being sent back for a number of reasons for Feanaro it factors in for him being able see wife and sons again Reina's Mother is Avarin so I mean to make her have an affinity for nature I actually have this super cute idea inspired my the Moonlace flowers from PJO where her mother and other Avari hybridize plants and her Mom made these flowers that only bloom at night and they glow blue there is more to it but what do you guys think of these ideas? what should I publish? let me know?

I always wondered about the line in the Hobbit movies where Legolas confesses that his mother died at Gundabad in some sort of war waged there, but I couldn’t recall any reason for the wood elves to do so. Was that line simply not book!canon compliant or am I missing something...?
