irreverentecthelion:

okay but

glorfindel and ecthelion would love doing Get Help

just. imagine for a moment. glorfindel wails exaggeratedly, “GET HELP! GET HELP! MY FRIEND IS INJURED!!” and ecthelion is just theatrically Fake Dying in glorfindel’s arms like the absolute drama king he is

and turgon is just like. why.

Fun fact about Glorfindel

chiliadicorum:

Glorfindel. That is his name.

Sindarin Glorfindel literally translates to “golden-haired”.

His name in Quenya is Laurefindil, which translates to “golden-haired” (or “golden head of hair” if you want to take the literal meaning of

findil

that is ‘head of hair’)

His name in Valarin would be Tulukhastaz, which translates to “golden-haired” (or “golden head of hair” taking into account (a)šata- that means ‘hair of head’ in Valarin)

Tulukhastaz in Eldarin is rendered Tulkas. 🙂

Glorfindel the Elf and Tulkas the Vala have the exact same name. And both are epic warriors. Go figure.

Tolkien’s so fun.
