yeah, Tuor. I forgot about him. if I need to pick a man, I have to stick with Tuor. it's something magic when he meets Ulmo, I can't realy describe it. so, Tuor and Thorondor. thats the duo for me

Kind of self-explanatory, ne? And when it comes to self-centred offspring... well... I don't care much for Fëanor either... or about half of his sons...



Pytt...

You're name means Wisdom...

It's in your sig...

Go with Finrod...

That's not saying much. Though...

Anyway... my luck is bad enough as it is... I don't need Turin... he'd probably accidentally kill me...

Finrod? One-dimensional? Now... if I was an obsessed Legolas fangirl, you'd be able to say something...

Complexity, complexity, complexity.

Always trying to excuse the fact that your boyfriend was a raving lunatic.

It's not that I like the baddd arses, per se, I just prefer the complexity of their characters/personalities over those nancy boys who are always off saving the world.

Think about it people: would you rather have someone who's always off tryin' to save the world, or have a bad-ass who'd at least have time to boff you every now and then? I mean come on!! That fine sword of Turin's. How could you pass it up? It even talks!

<edit> *lol* I went to change my profile to wax lyrical about Turin and Feanor, and I'd already changed it ages ago.

You know, BoP, I had a strange moment yesterday when I actually found myself thinking, "Wow. Fëanor was kind of cool."

Then the moment passed.

Where's the complexity in "psychopathic moron" anyway?

Even his own wife didn't want him!

Well, I would rather have someone who is off trying to save the world, rather than someone who is out for himself and only interested in his rocks, like Feanor.

Some people are only interested in Feanor's stones.

Of course he does. He was good with his hands.

... and it follows that he must have been good with his mouth cos he managed to persuade half the elves of valinor to follow him.

Of course! What did you think I was talking about? People are only interested in his stones, his Silmarils, which we can assume he made with his hands...

Boppy...

You are poisoning my mind.

All of you.

The word "swords" brings one connotation to my mind now.

Good job people! I think we've made Tolkien spin in his grave at 80 miles an hour!
