[iwannakisskissyoureyesagain]

things that definitely happened in the percy jackson series’ that rick left out/didn’t expand on (basically a collection of headcanons)

- leo teased percy and annabeth about the stables scene for weeks until it got old

- leo trying to make a move on EVERYONE he interacted with, especially the aphrodite cabin

- (leo was a hey mamas lesbian in a past life i will die on this hill)

- bi4bi percabeth

- some of the apollo kids give out free stick-n-poke tattoos. will has a small treble clef on his hip for his mom, nico has a tiny skull behind his left ear, percy has a smiley face on his right middle finger bc he thought it was funny

- annabeth tried to act like she didn’t think it was funny and called him an idiot

- ella also gives out free tattoo services at camp jupiter, and camp half blood when she and tyson visit. frank told her to start charging for them, but being a harpy, she doesn’t really have a need for money. honestly, she just wants an excuse to do more tattoos, since there’s not a lot of space left on tyson

- percy always orders blue food or drinks when he’s out if it’s an option (basically canon in the senior year adventures). at this point it’s instinctual

- percy refuses to drink or smoke bc of gabe. sally understands this and that’s why, before she had estelle, she would only have a single glass of wine with dinner. annabeth likes to have a few drinks here and there, but when she does drink, she makes sure to never do it in front of percy

- dionysus is essentially the camp therapist, because deep down, he really does care about the campers. he has open office hours and a sign-up sheet for appointments (private or group therapy) in the big house

- percy has started calling dionysus the wrong name back, and it’s dissolved into a competition to see who can think of the most ridiculous names (so far perceval jackoff and destiny’s child are tied for first place). some of the other campers are waiting for the day dionysus turns percy into a bottlenose dolphin or a pile of dust and ashes, but he would never do it

- there’s also a sign-up sheet to use that single computer that chiron has, where everyone gets up to an hour of screen time

- after discovering the projector in chiron’s office, it’s common to find cabins or individual groups of campers having movie nights. nico and hazel’s boyfriends and friends use this as an opportunity to show them (when hazel visits) different movies. for example, one night percy brings all 3 back to the future movies (he doesn’t realize the irony until nico won’t stop teasing him about it), annabeth brings the last unicorn, which makes hazel cry (me too girl), piper brings jennifer’s body (hazel and frank both get all flustered during the sex scenes, nico is surprisingly unbothered until will nudges him and makes a comment about colin when he appears onscreen), reyna, on the rare occasions that the hunters visit, brings isle of dogs (she hasn’t watched a lot of movies, but that one is one of her favorites), frank brings the little prince, which makes percy openly sob, and will brings heathers, to nico’s surprise

- some camp traditions include telling ghost stories at the campfire, karaoke nights in the apollo cabin (they tried to hold one in the big house once, but that only lasted about ten minutes before dionysus kicked them out), secret santas, halloween parties, and thanksgiving at the jackson-blofis house for the year-round campers (and percy, annabeth, tyson, and ella, ofc)

- piper likes to walk around doing chappell roan’s vocal flips and reneé rapp’s riffs

- will is actually a pretty good singer, but he doesn’t think he is bc his powers are more focused on his role as a camp medic, so he compares himself to his siblings. he can also play guitar really well, but his favorite thing is playing it horribly and as loud as possible, or playing at nico because he knows he hates it

- will and annabeth both struggle with imposter syndrome, percy starts talking to dionysus about his ptsd, nico is working on breaking his disordered eating habits, and tyson makes ella a fidget that she can play with so she doesn’t pull out her feathers

- piper and leo like to call each other cunts and reference modern pop culture in front of chiron, who is eternally confused and has stopped trying to understand “the youth”

- annabeth is a swiftie (her favorite album is ttpd) and percy says he isn’t, but sally sometimes catches him singing “safe & sound” or “never grow up” to estelle (he has no idea she knows) and sends videos of it to annabeth. he can’t sing very well, don’t get me wrong, and it’s almost always off-key, but estelle doesn’t seem to mind

- percy does that thing that dads do where he stands at the edge of the room when estelle is watching one of her shows with sally and pretends he isn’t watching it, but eventually ends up sitting with them on the couch and singing (again, very poorly) along to the bluey theme song

- will isn’t actually a morning person, but as the camp medic, he’s just used to getting up at the ass-crack of dawn and running on three hours of sleep and multiple celsiuses (this is why, on “making-nico-and-hazel-watch-movies-we-think-are-important-movie-nights,” he never even makes it through the first one without crashing out)

- apollo did in fact develop a little crush on nico during the tower of nero, but for his son’s sake, he’ll take that secret to his grave (metaphorically ofc)

I was watching old school One Piece on Netflix and I got to the scene where Luffy the main character is fighting Enel but at one point, Luffy just completely spaces out which pisses Enel off because he can't land a hit on Luffy this way.

How would the ROs and the family react to the MC (with Sirius as the god parent) doing this part?

I assume this is during training or a practice fight? Also don’t know if these are reasonable reactions? I’ve never watched One Piece 🤷‍♀️

Liviana-

Amare-

Estelle- Honestly would just snap her fingers in front of their face and tell them to concentrate.

Ellery- I admire Child of Sirius!MC’s ability to convince Ellery to fight them in the first place. But if this happened I think he would just run away. He is not trained to deal with this. 😭

I’m thinking about Gilraen and Aragorn again.

Or rather, Gilraen and Estel.

Ever since I read about them in the appendices, I was struck by how little time Gilraen got to be a normal wife and a normal mother. No worries, just staying at home surrounded by the respect of her people.

But then, when she’s in Rivendell, she has to raise a child while completely masquerading his identity, having to get permission from some immortal she’s likely only heard of just to tell her son about his father.

Meanwhile, little Aragorn is fine. He’s strong, he’s well-educated, he has big brothers that play with him and teach him all he needs to know. He’s raised well, and, despite having a different name, is raised lovingly.

But there’s always Gilraen in the background, likely having to swallow her grief and her urge to teach her son about his father for the good of the world.

There’s Estel not even knowing his birth name, raised for some vague destiny that his tutor-turned-father won’t expound upon. Estel’s childhood was probably filled with “that’s not a question for right now” or “I’ll tell you eventually.”

Elrond built Aragon and his mother a great life, yes, but it was a life built on caution.

@quentafeanorians asked: 💋 [your Aragorn] [my Rocheru or anyone you prefer ;]

for the first five kisses meme: Aragorn | 1/5

Raised by his father with the help of Lord Elrond and the residents of Imladris, Estel had grown up knowing exactly who he was. But without the pressure of a unwanted destiny as his future or the mantle of being Chieftain of the Northern Dunedain. For now, the latter was Arathorn's duty.

Although solemn and quiet as he went from child to almost a young man, there was still a spark of playfulness and mischievious inside him. But that spark had been buried for most of the day, despite Elladan and Elrohir's attempts to bring it out. His father had very quickly distracted them though, much to his relief.

Aragorn was hiding in the stables, away from all the questions and Lady Arwen's careful glances. Decisions had been at the forefront of his mind all day and were the reason behind the looks of the Evenstar at him, in case his feelings had changed. He blinked at the sound of familiar footsteps and stood as Rocheru appeared, somehow unsurprised that Lord Elrond had sent the Horse Master to find him.

The young not quite Ranger pressed a very light kiss again his lips and then left the stables, disappearing into the darkness to hide in the one room no-one dared go: Arathorn's. He wasn't prepared to have a second hard conversation; not when it had already happened with Arwen that morning.

| Teeth like needles pierce through flesh and overly sweet tasting blood can be tasted for Voyyd. Silvia makes attempts to shake Voyyd away but ultimately leaves it, undeterred. She scoffed looking at Altair whose maw was bloodied. She tilts her head out to the side in thought before grabbing a fistful of his hair and pulls his head back. She knew it wasn't enough pressure to kill him, that'd be far less satisfying. She wanted to watch him suffer for a while now that she had the opportunity to. He stares back at her, fear to be seen in dilated pupils that scanned over her face. |

"Tch. So much for treating this like adults, huh?"

| A small whine from Altair later has her rolling her eyes. |

"...Such a child. You never let anyone help you, really. You didn't even get help when dealing with me."

| She spat like the words were venom in her mouth as she glared through him, he returned it still able to taste her blood on his lips. It sickened him to his very core. |

I never needed any help.

"Clearly you did if this is the way things turned out. Or better yet, left me to rot. It's what I would have wanted."

Life isn't fair.

"I suppose reviving the dead is? You've got alot coming to you Destiny Estell."

| Altair snarled at the name before his head came crashing down into the ground. He could feel the blood trickling out of it in a warm wet pool as it had hit against glass or perhaps a rock. |

It's Altair now.

"You're still the same old person I met when I came back to life. Your name makes no difference to me."

*A certain little someone was walking around.* Altair?

Altair are you here?

*Wonder who this could be..*

| As she came down the hall a being no taller that 5'11 poked it's head out of it's room, laying eyes upon the being walking and looking for Altair. They frowned a little, confused. |

Oh uh.... Not Altair, sorry. I don't even think... Well...

Jordan Peele's Candyman (2020) Trailer Reaction

[rangers-are-cool-moved]

For: Open :: Ask if you’d like it specified Muse: Aragorn | Special request Verse: AU | Beren and Luthien, they were not

  Gondor. Or more precisely, the Bay of Belfalas.

  A place where many of the Gondorians continued with their everyday lives, never even noticing the silently watching figure beneath the sheltering rock. Dressed in neutral green and grey clothing, most thought that the Man was one of the Rangers of Ithilien and paid no attention. It was only when one took a closer look that it became obvious he was not of Southern Dúnedain descent. Coming instead from the Northern lands of Eriador, for he was one of the Rangers of the North.

WHO WAS HE REALLY?

  Aragorn, son of Arathorn and Chieftain of the Northern Dúnedain? Strider, Ranger of the North? Thorongil, the man who Gondor and Rohan adored because he helped when they needed it most? Or the Heir of Isildur, who’s destiny was to reunite Gondor and Arnor into one kingdom again as it’s King?

  He didn’t know anymore. But one fact was for sure: he definitely didn't feel like Estel, the child who grew up in the safety of Imladris and under the protection of the Elves.

  Aragorn looked back out over the sea, watching the setting sun and listening to the sounds of the seagulls squawking as they rested for the night. It was calming, much like the times when he vanished into the Wilds for days at a time. Although in hindsight, that was probably the reason why his second in command, Hal, sent him here in the first place to drop off a parcel. 

  The other Ranger knew him far too well and he was thankful for that. His friend wasn’t one for being anything but truthfully blunt, no matter who he was talking to. And lately, he himself had been on the end of those dark knowing eyes. Mainly because it had been to Hal, that he turned for help with sorting through his feelings about Arwen. More precisely, his lack of feelings for her.

  Storm filled blue eyes watched for a while longer as the stars began to make an appearance in the night sky, looking for the constellations he knew. Then Aragorn shifted to his feet and headed in the direction of Pelargir, a city that thankfully ignored his presence as requested. Even if it did have a statue of him, which he wasn’t particularly fond of.

Jesus is a Better King than Aragorn: An entirely serious literary and theological analysis

Despite Tolkien’s famous dislike of allegory, it is clear that Aragorn is in numerous respects a figure of Christ. Like Jesus, Aragorn is a great king who returns after a like absence to save his people. Both have roughly a hundred different names and titles. Most significantly, the name Aragorn uses in Rivendell as a child is Estel, which means “high hope” and is also a reference to the morning star, Gil-Estel. Jesus is called the Morning Star and also Emmanuel, “God with us,” which was and is the highest hope of all the earth. (I’m sure there’s a better example, but I can’t justify spending too much time on this when I have homework to do).

Aragorn also spends the early years of his life in obscurity. As a ranger, he is despised and rejected by the very folk he protects, such as Barlimen Butterbur, who advises Frodo not to trust him (and hurts Aragorn's feelings in doing so). Aragorn is also not particularly attractive; Frodo observes that he “looks foul and feels fair.” These qualities place Aragorn in line with Isaiah’s prophetic description of Jesus: despised and rejected by man, with nothing in His appearance that we should desire him.

Aragorn is also keenly aware of his kingly destiny in ways which mirror Jesus’ Messianic mission. Unlike the filmic Aragorn, the Aragorn of Tolkien’s books is eager to become king and has been preparing for the job all his life, studying the peoples, customs, and languages of Middle Earth. He carries around the ring of Barahir and the shards of Narsil, symbols of his kingly destiny, but waits until the proper time to publicly reveal himself as King. Faramir could even be said to be something of a John the Baptist figure, declaring Aragorn’s kingship before Aragorn himself claims it. Yet despite his great destiny, like Jesus, Aragorn is fundamentally selfless and humble. He spends many years thanklessly guarding the Shire and is quick to offer his life or his death to save Frodo. Significantly, Aragorn also has miraculous healing abilities. Indeed, the hands of a king are those of a healer; so shall the rightful king be known. This parallels the way in which Jesus healed people throughout His ministry in part as proof of His divine nature.

Finally, Aragorn is eventually received and crowned King of Gondor and Arnor in a big enormous super-parallel to Jesus's eventual return and the consumation of his eternal Kingdom. Aragorn's coming has been hoped and longed for for thousands of years. His coronation also coincides with his long-awaited wedding to Arwen; indeed, Aragorn’s ascension to his rightful kingship is a condition for his getting to marry her. This combined wedding and kingship imagery intimates at the return of Jesus, the True King, and the Wedding Feast of the Lamb which will follow.

Yet despite the clear parallels between Aragorn and Jesus, it is clear that of the two, Jesus is the greater King. Jesus is fully man and fully God. Aragorn, conversely, is like 1% Maia (for those uninitiated in The Silmarillion, Maia are like lesser angels) through Isildor, Elros Tar-Minyatur, and ultimately Melian, but this cannot compare to the true, incarnate divinity of Jesus, which enabled Him to live a sinless life on earth and serve as propitiation for our sins. This, indeed, is another way in which Aragorn falls short of Jesus. Sauron and his orcs and other assorted monsters are undeniably evil and gross-looking, but Aragorn is not even the one most immediately responsible for defeating them, and at any rate none of that compares to defeating all the power of sin and death forever and ever amen. Jesus died on our behalf and was then resurrected; in this respect, Gandalf is much more similar to Jesus (died to save the Fellowship and came back glorified; “Saruman as he should have been” ~ second Adam that one’s a stretch but go with me here). Yet Aragorn and even Gandalf fall far short of Jesus’s resurrection by virtue of not being the firstfruits of man’s glorification.

As King, Jesus currently reigns in Heaven and in the hearts of His people; after His return, He will rule the New Heavens and New Earth. Aragorn merely rules the united kingdom of Gondor and Arnor which, while awesome, does not have the direct presence of God, a New Jerusalem, of the complete absence of evil, sin, and death. Gondor has a White Tree, but no Tree of Life. Finally, unlike Jesus, Aragorn is also not perfectly holy, just, righteous, sovereign, gracious, or merciful. He may be pretty much perfect by human standards, but he still remains Just Some Guy and is therefore fallible. In fact, the only recorded kingly rulings of his that I can remember off the top of my head are banishing Beregond from Minas Tirith for disobeying Denethor and banning non-Hobbits from ever entering the Shire, both of which are kind of iffy in my opinion. (Text me if you want that rant 😜)

“But wait!” I hear you saying, “Jesus might be a better King than Aragorn, but Aragorn is definitely much cooler than Jesus. Aragorn has a sword!” And yes, Aragorn does have a sword, and his sword is awesome. Its name is Anduril, Flame of the West, and it was made from the shards of Narsil, the Numinorian sword which Isildor used to chop the One Ring off of Sauron’s finger. (I refuse to use the diacriticals; it’s too much work.) It has an insignia with seven stars on the blade and Aragorn uses it in a whole bunch of epic battles. That is, indeed, very cool. However, Jesus also has a sword! In Revelation, when John describes Jesus, He has a sharp, two-edged sword issuing from His mouth. He also holds seven stars in his right hand. As an added bonus, His face shines like the sun. So what if it's probably symbolic? Anything Aragorn can do, Jesus can do better.

(Note: I threw this together ages ago as a joke for my Bible study. @laurelin-of-valinor inspired me to post it today.)

Hope

“You’re really leaving?” You gazed into Aragorn’s eyes, hoping that it wasn’t true.

    “I have to, Y/N. The fate of Middle-Earth depends on it.”

Your head dipped in understanding, but also sadness. 

“Do not fear. I will return.” He cupped your chin with his hand, tilting your head and kissing you. It was a light kiss, nothing like the others you had shared before. This kiss was the hope that you’d see each other again.

Breaking away, you forced a smile as you hugged him, trying not to cry. Stepping back, you waved as he followed the rest of the newly formed Fellowship through the gates of Imladris. Your father stood next to you, and as Aragorn passed through the gates Elrond drew you into his side. 

“He’ll be back, hína (child),” Elrond said as he pressed a kiss to your forehead.

Nodding, you rested your head on your father’s shoulder as you watched the man depart.

Weeks later, you were pacing your room, determined to do something. Arwen stopped short in the doorway as she saw you pack open on your bed as you shoved things inside.

     “Y/N? What are you doing?”

“I do not know why, but I have felt a pull to follow. An ache, almost painful in its strength, has settled inside me and so I knew I must follow. We have not heard from the Fellowship in weeks, Aragorn could be hurt, or someone else could be, or he could be,” your voice broke, “dead.

The elf nodded in understanding. “The ache is telling you to be with the one you love.”

She then clasped your hand. “Y/N. Look at me.”

You looked at her, unshed tears of worry clear in your eyes.

“If he was dead, you’d feel it. And I know as your sister I should be telling you not to go, but I cannot help but notice the pain you’ve been in these last weeks. So go, find him.” She spread a map out onto a small table nearby, and you couldn’t help but laugh.

“Do you just carry that everywhere?”

She shot you a look, and you quickly clammed up, peering over her shoulder as she pointed things out. 

“After crossing the mountains visit our grandmother in Lothlorien, the Fellowship had planned to pass through there, and she will know where they are.” 

You took it all in, remembering the route to Lothlorien from visits to your grandparents you had made before your mother went west. 

“Thank you, Arwen.” You smiled up at your sister.

She clasped your wrist before pulling away, placing her hands on your shoulders as she looked into your eyes. “Stay safe, Y/N.”

You nodded, shoving the last things into your pack before slinging it over your shoulders with your bow and quiver, daggers sheathed on your thighs, hugging your sister one last time before leaving your room.

   You strode down the hallway, dressed in leather hunting clothes as you made your way to the gates of Imladris. You had stopped by the kitchens to gather food supplies, making sure they thought you were only going for a hunting excursion. 

Entering the courtyard, you saw your father standing in the center, clearly waiting for you. Silently cursing Arwen, as you had hoped to slip away unnoticed, you made your way over to him.

“I should not let you do this.”

You frowned at his words, drawing breath to protest, but before you could Elrond spoke again.

“But you are free to go. I feel the ache and have felt it every day since your mother departed. I know that nothing but being with the one you love can ease that pain, and it would hurt me to know you are experiencing it. Go to Estel. I give you my blessing.” 

You hugged your father before turning and mounting your horse, brought from the stables. Turning to wave to your father one last time, you leaned down to whisper, “Let’s go, Daeroc. Let’s go find Aragorn.” The horse broke into a trot, and you left Imladris behind.

Weeks later, you led Daeroc into Lothlorien, waiting for the sentries to appear. One dropped down from a tree, and you smiled at him, recognizing the face.

“Haldir,” you greeted him with a smile.

“Y/N. It is good to see you again. I assume you are here to see the Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn?”

You nodded, “Yes. I have not seen my grandparents in a long time. But before we go to them could you find someone to take care of Daeroc?”

Another elf came into view, nodding to you as she took the reins from your hands. 

“Thank you,” you smiled at her.

Later, you walked into the courtyard, bowing to your grandparents standing on the stairs above. 

“Y/N, my daughter’s daughter. What brings you here?” Galadriel smiled at you, descending the stairs with her husband to greet you, each clasping your wrist. 

“To see you, of course, and seek news of the Fellowship that I assume has passed through here.” 

Your grandmother smiled. “It seems you are in luck, for they are here as we speak.”

Your eyes widened. “But they should have been long gone by now. I wonder what has caused the delay?”

Celeborn’s face softened. “Then you do not know.”

“Know what?” You were beginning to grow quite worried. “What has happened?”

“They could not make it through the pass of Caradhras, so they turned and went through Moria, costing them the life of Mithrandir.”

You gasped, heart aching at the grief that must have caused them and the grief you now felt. 

“May I see them?” All you wanted now was to see your friends and the man you loved.

“Of course.” Galadriel beckoned you to follow her, and you did, softly conversing with your grandmother and updating her on the lives of her family in Imladris, as well as others she knew.

Stepping into the clearing, you turned to thank Galadriel, watching her fade from view behind you for a moment before continuing. 

There he was. Tall and handsome still, even grimy with dirt and dust from his travels. You debated casually walking up and greeting him more sedately, but watching him you just couldn’t hold back. All your elvish instincts left you, and you sprinted towards him, leaping into his shocked arms as kissing him for all you were worth. He kissed you back for a moment, and then pulled away, the surprise on his face clear.

“Y/N! What are you doing here?”

“I came to find you.”

His eyes widened. “You did?”

You smiled at him. “Of course I did, meleth.”

He smiled back at you, and drew you in for another kiss, hands holding you up as your legs wrapped around his waist. Deepening the kiss, he moved so your back was pressed against a tree and his hands were free to slide up your back, tangling in your hair as you lost yourselves in each other.

Sometime later, you sat with the rest of the Fellowship after the nighttime meal, talking. It was good to see them again, you had grown fond of all of them, even the dwarf, during their time in Imladris. But of course, the only person you really had eyes for that night was Aragorn, who sat next to you with an arm around your shoulders. 

Legolas had seemed puzzled with how comfortable you were with affection, it was rather un elf-like. You had explained to him that because of your father’s past, he was slightly more affectionate than a normal elf, and showed it. You hadn’t missed the wistful look on Legolas’ face as you spoke and recalled what you knew of his family, feeling sorry for him. 

Later that night, you sat by the dying embers of the fire alongside Legolas. Aragorn had gone with the hobbits to wash up, and Boromir and Gimli were sleeping, so it was just you and the elf.

“Legolas?” The older elf looked at you. 

“Can I ask you something?”

He nodded, and you continued, “I was just wondering, do you know of something like an ache? It began right after the Fellowship departed Imladris, and only subsided when I arrived here. What does it mean?”

He smiled. “Y/N. That was the bond between your soul and Aragorn’s, pulled taught with your fear of losing him. Now that you are reunited, it has gone because you are together. It is every elf’s greatest dream and worst fear to have that feeling.”

You smiled. “Have you?”

The pain in his eyes told you that maybe that was not something to be asked of others.

“I am not sure if it is in my destiny to ever feel that.” He gazed into the distance.

The two of you sat in easy silence for a long time, after that. 

“Y/N.” You turned to see Aragorn beckoning to you, and with a nod to Legolas, you rose.

“You do not have to come with us. It will be a journey of great peril, and I do not want to put you in that much danger.”

You gazed at him earnestly, “Aragorn. I shall be there when the crown is finally placed on your head. I shall be with you until the end.”

He smiled at you again and clasped your hand as you walked through the towering trees.

You had left Lothlorien the day after with the Fellowship, having officially joined up. Lots had happened after that, including almost dying with most of Middle-Earth, but months later, all was finally well. Frodo and Sam had destroyed the ring in Mordor, the forces of Mordor had collapsed along with the Black Gate, and today was the coronation of King Elessar, also known as Aragorn. 

You watched, standing next to Gimli on the dais, as Gandalf lowered the crown onto Aragorn’s head.

“Now come the days of the King!” Gandalf declared before Aragorn turned to face his kingdom. Everyone cheered as he stood there, silencing quickly as he spoke. His words were wise and sincere, and you couldn’t help but fall in love all over again. As petals began to fall, he started singing, the words quickly fading as he turned to you. 

You walked down to meet him at the bottom of the steps, gown trailing behind you. Once you reached him, he grabbed your hand, wrapping an arm around your waist as he dipped you into a spectacular kiss. Unlike the one you had shared in Imladris, this was not a kiss of sadness. This was a kiss of hope, peace, and promise. As the cheers rose around you again you knew that everything you had hoped for had come true.

I know Aragorn/Faramir is a pretty niche pairing and f!Aragorn/f!Faramir is even more niche, but I’ve been thinking of the Aranorverse again and having feelings about ... Elrond?

I’ve mentioned it before, but one of the Northern Dúnedain’s main points of pride is that they’ve managed to preserve the direct line of the heirs of Isildur from father to son. With help from Elrond, this has continued for an incredibly long period of time: from Arvedui’s disappearance to, in this verse, the death of Arathorn.

He leaves a child, of course—a girl. Arathorn dying before having a son after all those years and generations would be a monumentally big deal. Aranor is far too young to have a husband to claim leadership through her, as her ancestor Arvedui did, so IMO the probability is that the chieftainship would pass to the nearest man in the male line from Isildur.

...if not for Elrond. The background story behind Aranor the eventual queen is that Elrond acknowledged little toddler Aranor as heir of Isildur. He took her into his household as Estel alongside Gilraen, giving Aranor a proper Elvish-Númenórean education and working to prepare her for the trials to come. The line about how Elrond loves Aragorn as much as he does Elladan and Elrohir is equally true of Aranor. He does love her dearly, and he gives her the tokens of her house and directs her to a great destiny, and ultimately comes to Minas Tirith to see Aranor enthroned as Queen of Gondor before finally leaving Middle-earth.

At the end of the day, honestly, a lot of people are going to owe an awful lot to the moment when Elrond considered thousands of years of patriarchy vs one two-year-old girl, and chose the girl.
