Let me introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Lords teacher… me. Glorfindel, Order of the Golden Flower, First Age, Honorary member of the Nazgul Defense League, and five times winner of Noldor Weekly’s Most Charming Smile Award. But I don’t talk about that. I didn’t get rid of the Balrog by smiling at him.
okay everyone but consider: glorfindel comes on the quest of erebor!au
“I HAVEN’T SEEN DWARVES IN AGES” “glorfindel pls calm down” “OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS ONE? HE LOOKS JUST LIKE DURIN IV????” “yes glorfindel that’s great but the rest of us don’t bother to learn dwarf family trees so we have no idea who you are talking about. also that one is snarling maybe you should put him down????”
glorfindel training bilbo how to fight
thorin being like “we cannot take *unexperienced* warriors on this quest” “i killed a balrog” “wait WHAT”
fili and kili and practically all the dwarves hero-worshipping him
glorfindel and bilbo talking in sindarin
“so you’ve actually killed dragons?” “nah man that’s thranduil i heard he killed like 27 in the war of the wrath” “WHAT”
okay but glorfindel showing up in mirkwood and is chatting up all the elves when they (almost) get captured
legolas is fanboying. a little. okay a lot.
glorfindel and thranduil chatting it up while the dwarves are like “eXCUSE ME WE ARE IN CHAINS”
glorfindel hiding in a barrel as they go into laketown (somebody draw this please)
glorfindel telling the bardlings stories
“we should pour gold on the dragon” “no that’s a stupid fuckign idea bro. let’s shoot it” “well alright then”
i’m sorry to say that putting glorfindel in a barrel will probably end up like this
They are short.That’s the first thought that appears in Glorfindel’s mind at the sight of the dwarven company he glimpses through the trees surrounding the terrace they’ve apparently decided to adapt…
I read that as: I think Dain would secretly ‘fancy’ Glorfindel. (A sudden unexpected ship appears, sailing out of the blue…!)
Dain definitely would respect Glorfindel. Balrogs are not killed with rolled-up newspapers. I think he would respect Elrond in his own right too, though – he thought enough of Elrond to send Gimli and Gloin to Rivendell for his advice.
