A List of Very Convincing Reasons why Elrond Peredhel Cannot become Noldor High King after Gil-Galad, written by Dnorle Lehderep

He's like Finwe's great great great grandson; that's clearly too many generations away.

Also he's technically a Feanorian and they're like, super cursed and also dispossessed so maybe he shouldn't be in the line of succession.

No one can agree on whether his claim comes from the Nolofinwean or Feanorian lines. Clearly the best solution to this is for him to not be king.

Galadriel is right there.

He turns into a bird sometimes and everyone knows that birds can't be elf-kings that would be silly.

Yes, he does have one of the three rings "for elvish kings" but Cirdan also has one of those, and he's not an elvish king, so frankly it doesn't matter.

Gil-Galad's will, which states that Elrond inherits the crown, was clearly forged. I will not explain how. Trust me on this one.

C'mon guys he's not even technically an elf. Yes Melian was a queen over elves without being an elf. Yes Dior was a half-elf elf king. I don't see what that has to do with anything.

Do we really need a king?? Apparently some edain are experimenting with a new system called "democracy" and fraknly that sounds a lot better and cooler than having another king.

We'd have to get the crown resized again and that would be a lot of work.

He wears his hair partially down. In public. If that's not scandalous I don't konw what is.

I know his followers keep talking about how great of a leader he is, but they're mostly Feanorians, so clearly that doesn't count.

Galadriel. Is. Right. There.

He probably doesn't even speak Quenya. Don't ask anyone at court to confirm this.

He's very busy revolutionizing the field of medicine in Rivendell right now, please leave me him alone.

Clearly he doesn't wear enough jewelry to be a proper Noldor king.

The Queen's Thief for the ask game!!

Oo, that's a good one!

send me a fandom and I’ll tell you…

the first character I ever fell in love with: I think it's gotta be Gen. His unreliable, irreverent, and endearing narration in TT is hard to pass up.

a character that I used to love/like, but now do not: I'm not sure if I have one of these beyond the villains who reveal themselves midway.

a ship that I used to love/like, but now do not: I feel like my ship opinions have stayed pretty consistent, actually

my ultimate favorite character™: This is hard because I love all of them! I'm torn between Gen and Costis I think (but cutting Irene hurts). Gen makes this series what it is, but Costis's love and loyalty are awesome (and I may relate with his attempts to be the responsible one a little too much, lol).

prettiest character: Irene

my most hated character: Nahuseresh

my OTP: Irenides :)

my NOTP: Relius and Teleus. I love them as friends, but not as lovers.

favorite episode: I'm going to interpret this as favorite incident, which is probably the section in QoA that goes from Irene putting on the earrings to "Diplomacy, in my own name." It was so cool to figure out the first time, and it's still so fun to reread.

saddest death: Probably Pol? There aren't a ton of major character deaths really, which is actually a bit surprising.

favorite season: My favorite book is either Queen of Attolia or King of Attolia.

least favorite season: I don't really find Thick as Thieves very compelling.

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but I hate: No one's really coming to mind.

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: He's not a piece of trash, but I love the Magus even when he's scheming and loyal to Sounis.

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: I feel like Sophos is the obvious answer for this, but Helen a bit too.

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and I lowkey ship them, but I’m not too invested’ ship: Eugenides the god and Alyta.

nothing will ever live up to the moment when after devouring over 250 pages deeply immersed in the characters and story and after the emotions of the proposal I reached the very end of the letter that turns everything on its head only to find out that Mr Darcy's name is Fitzwilliam

New ask game:

Reblog if you want your followers to tell you what your trademark ™️ is. Like, what’s that thing that really identifies you.

Narnia PSA

Not to be controversial or anything but the #1 thing I ask for of the Greta Gerwig reboot is for the fandom of mostly now adults who grew up with the books and the movies to be kind to the children who get cast. I'm a Star Wars and a PJO fan and I've basically hit my limit with people being absolutely horrible towards literal children who have no real say in the casting process other than to audition based on whatever the character breakdowns are (which again, is an element of this process that they have no control over) and work with the material that is given to them. Children in the industry are already SO vulnerable to a number of different things that they do not need Internet vitriol to be added to the pile - I cannot imagine being 12 years old and knowing that bunch of adults apparently hate me and think I'm somehow personally responsible for ruining something they love from their childhood. Spreading and encouraging this attitude - ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE AN ADULT - is not only unfair to these kids, it's flat-out wrong. Idc if the adaptation is good or bad, I will not stand for it, nor should anybody else. I am VERY worried about this cycle repeating itself again when the casting gets announced, so if nobody else is going to put out this warning then I'm taking it upon myself to do so. If you are a mature individual, then please act like it and please encourage those around you to do the same. These kids are probably going to be very excited to get cast and they do not deserve for anyone to take that joy away from them. Remember, most of us came to this series as kids, and it belongs to this new generation of kids just as much as it belongs to us adults who grew up with it. This includes the kids who get cast. Again, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE REBOOT IS GOOD OR BAD. THESE KIDS DESERVE TO BE TREATED WITH KINDNESS AND RESPECT REGARDLESS. Please let us behave in a manner that Aslan would be proud of rather than disappointed in
