hot take but you guys are maybe a little too obsessed with elrond. he's just a guy.
#don't get me wrong I LIKE elrond but like#the fandom's constant veneration of him (far beyond what tolkien does) bothers me#the whole POINT is that he's humble and unassuming ok#he isn't the coolest specialest shiniest boi in middle-earth and that's fine!!#nor is he the 'only person in his family with a braincell' wtf#the way fandom's obsession with him puts him on a pedestal way above other equally interesting characters is just. a lot#like elros is always cast as his foil (less wise and less kind and less forgiving) and it's ANNOYING#not even getting into all the bad kidnap fam takes that come from this characterisation#high salt levels today ig
