Your right, I've been wondering what they are for awhile. So thanks for clearing that up for me

so ... any changes of opinions, anyone, on who's the guy for you in the Sil? (or HOME, etc.) Are Earniel and I still fighting over Tuor? Does Arty still swoon over Beleg? (is that still in your sig?)

Yes, Beleg is still in the lead. But he now has compete with both Findekáno and Maitimo. And I like Makalaure too. Phuuh! There are so many great men! It's getting rather hot here ...

I always liked the description of how Findekáno wore his hair ("long dark hair in great plaits braided with gold")

Who's Makalaure? Isn't that the guy that played Lurz in the movie?


poor Celeborn ...

Not when they're this fun!

Tuor is still my human pick; I'm working on my elvish pick ... I rather like Finrod, but am leery of taking on SGH and Ruinel ...

nope...I still think that Feanaro is the best! (followed closely by Caranthir, and Curufin)...although I'm beginning to like Annatar as well ...I like the dark characters

LOL! RÃ*an, have you forgotten your Shibboleth? Kanafinwë Makalaure. Second son of Fëanor.

Pah. He's married to me, that should be enough for him.

Oh and thanks for the fan, I need it ...

Oh no, not at all - it was started in response to the Orli-swooning threads, it's just fun and silly, and the guys have made some of the funniest comments!

OK, Arty, I'm afraid I'm going with Fingon - my husband has always reminded me of him. Altho his hair isn't in plaits, it's a lovely "dark hair", and he's a big strong guy who loves to help people and is the first to volunteer for tough jobs. I've always loved the part where Fingon just heads off on his own to save Maedhros - reminds me of something hubby would do. Tuor reminds me of him, too. Go guys!

Þilly elves!

(note to people that don't know - read "The Shibboleth of Feanor" in The Peoples of Middle Earth if you're curious about it - great read!)

Oh, I can't keep all those names straight! Maglor wasn't one of my favorites, anyway.

Arien! The C brothers?! I must protest! And Annatar? - no, not a good idea! I can see an attraction for Feanor, esp. because of the grief he went thru, but ugh! I've never liked the C's, and Annatar is definitely not a candidate for me.

I'll share Fingon with you, if you'd like (we're talking about one Fingon for each of us, to keep it proper ) - Arty said I could have him. Or better yet, stay with your Feanaro - I think Arien and Feanaro go well together.

lol! yes 2 Spirits of Fire go well together I suppose! I only like the "C" brothers b/c they resemble Feanor in appearance and mood.

recently I've been coming up with these stories based on Tolkien's characters and Annatar plays a crucial role....what if he could have been turned to good? After all, there was still some good in him wasn't there? Maia belongs with Maia afterall

Yes, I see what you mean - I just have a soft spot in my heart for Feanor, tho, that I don't have for the C brothers, because of the terrible murder of his father. I don't recall anything offhand particularly nice that the C brothers did. Of the 7 sons, Maedhros is much more to my liking - I really like his part in the ship-burning story - his immediate thought is of course, we're sending the ships back for my bud Fingon! and he stood aside when the ships burned.

I think Annatar reached a point where his decisions put him past redemption but he certainly could have turned out different, and it was a tremendous loss for him to have turned bad.

Quote:

Tell that to Melian!

But enough seriousness! Yes, I think Fingon, altho I really like Finrod's heart, too - but I think the dark hair of Fingon decides it! Hmm, what's a mix of the two - Fingod, Finron?
