Men of the Silmarillion - Page 20

I didn't say it was especially plausible. Just the only possibility I could come up with on the spot.

As far as the buzzcut goes... have you seen Jenny Dolfen's response to the complaints about the short hair? Not especially pretty (one of the more disturbing, actually), but you can find it here.

***RÃan*** · 11-17-2004, 11:09 PM

I've never seen her work before - I just did a search on "Fingon pictures Tolkien" and it came up. I like it!

And the family picture of Feanor and Nerdanel is hysterical! Cranky Feanor looking on with a preggo Nerdanel and some bickering kids (it must be Celegorm and Curufin), with a thoughtful Maedhros and a harp-playing Maglor.

ElemmÃrÃ« · 11-17-2004, 11:15 PM

Yes! I love that picture! If anyone else is interested, it's here

Images like that make me more sympathetic to the House of Feanor.

Well... maybe not. Maedhros and Maglor I liked anyway (not my absolute favourites though...

*saying no more in fear of SGH*

), and I bet you can just guess what I think of the middle three...

Strangely enough, I found that gallery through livejournal...

oh, wow... I'm up to 20 posts and it's only been a day. Is this good or bad?

Oh, how interesting! We were thinking along the same lines!

ElemmÃrÃ« · 11-18-2004, 01:14 AM

Indeed. The only problem is her pictures that take place earlier have the same haircut, lol

For the obvious reason that she didn't draw that until after people started complaining...

She's such a good artist, though...

I like the one she did of Finrod especially (I wonder why?

haha)- even if the moon turned his hair silver...
here

BTW... on second thought, a girlfight might be fun... looking forward to SGH coming on...

*I'm suicidal*

I like that picture too - it's sweet - but in general I don't like the cartoon-ish style she uses in most of her pictures.

And all Elves do have long hair. There's nothing more to say about that.

**Nurvingiel** · 11-18-2004, 07:39 AM

Are ya sure there Arty, because I don't think that's ever specifically said in canon...

*prepares for girl-fight*

I really loved the picture of Feanor and his family. I always liked Feanor, even though he's ... kind of evil... but I do tend to like villans in books. Interesting ones like Feanor anyway.

Me too

That's why my long-running obsession with Finrod has never quite made sense to me...

Anna, my dear pants swiper, don't make me post your remarks where you have drooled over Finrod. It is not my fault that you are so fickle. He plays a heavenly harp. Such skill with those fingers.

oops...

sorry... random mood, desperately trying to hold of the homework and studying in store for me...

You don't have to worry about the stick of wrath. That is only used for moderating purposes. When it comes to Finrod, I use teeth, nails, feet and hands. Hope you have some Rogain for after the fight.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 11-18-2004, 11:57 AM

No one has mentioned Gildor. He was a studmuffin too. Smart and a great sense of humor.

Uhhh ... no, but when hair length is mentioned it is always said to be long.
You just have to trust me.

And he (and the other elves) saved Merry, Sam, Pippin and Frodo's arses too!

Wasn't he the speaker of that oft-quoted line, "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." (It is used by Babylon 5, 8-bit theatre, and a host of others. Like whoever said, "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."

)

Yup, I'm pretty sure that was Gildor's line. Then Frodo says, "Do not go to the Elves for coucil, for they will say both no and yes." And Gildor laughs and eloquently explains why, though I forget his line.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 11-18-2004, 12:35 PM

"And it is also said," answered Frodo: "Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes."

"is it indeed?" laughed Gildor. "Elves seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill."

Hmmmm... maybe that was just to distinguish a particular Elf in question from all the MANY short-haired Elves...???

Yeah, I think that for a relatively minor character, he is very vividly drawn, from his dialogue alone.

***RÃan*** · 11-18-2004, 03:03 PM

Yeah, I like Gildor, too, but it was getting embarassing how many men I like ...
