The High Elves of the West
Gildor, the confusing-as-fuck Elf that Frodo meets as he carries the One Ring out of the Shire, claims to be a member of the House of Finrod. ovirginsaint and I took it upon ourselves to figure out how this could be possible... with glorious results.
Michael: Gildor confuses me. :/
OVirginSaint: happy happy gildor?
Michael: Gildor Inglorion of the House of Finrod who speaks in riddles and if all Elves are like him I don't think I'd really like hanging around Elves.
OVirginSaint: wait
OVirginSaint: how is he of house Finrod?
Michael: That's part of what confuses me! (bah)
OVirginSaint: he's been smoking the weed
Michael:Basically, it was written when Finarfin was Finrod and Finrod was... something else...
Michael: And Tolkien just forgot to change it.
Michael: But now him being of the House of Finrod is forever etched in one of the only texts that can be labeled as Arda-canon and making sense of it makes my head asplode.
OVirginSaint: weed.
OVirginSaint: he was not in his right mind when he said it.
Michael:Maybe Finrod had a son named Inglor who had a son named Gildor.
Michael: And then my brain asplode.
Michael: Because that didn't happen.
OVirginSaint: or maybe he had a barrell of Thranduil's wine and made it all up
Michael: XD
Michael: I like your ideas better.
OVirginSaint: xD
OVirginSaint: Drunk on Thranduil's wine after
OVirginSaint: smoking some weed.
Michael: Yep. That is now accepted into my Tolkien canon. XD
OVirginSaint: XD
Michael: It explains him being so creepy when he and Frodo meet up.
OVirginSaint: LOL!!!
Alison: *chokes on a pencil*
OVirginSaint: *looking for idiot Gildor*
Alison: I was reading fanfiction and talking to Michelle.
Michael: He's probably off in some corner, smoking.
Michael: ...weed.
OVirginSaint: yes
Michael: You SO need to draw that. >.>
OVirginSaint: 'cause apparently there's nothing in this book that ties him at all to Finrod, save that he speaks Quenya
PVirginSaint: XD
Michael: I don't even remember reading about him AT ALL. And I've read just about all of HoMe. :/
OVirginSaint: Gildor is a weed smoking hippy.
Michael: The name Inglorion suggests that he is SUPPOSED to be the son of Inglor, who WAS Finrod before the name change.
Michael: Now... he's just high all the time making nonsensical comments.
Michael: WAY TO GO TOLKIEN!
OVirginSaint: XD
OVirginSaint: Bad professor!
OVirginSaint, I still say you are one sexy artist. Also, if you don't want your art on my journal, lemme know and I'll take it down. I'd ask in person if you had internets. ;)
