#that damn scene of GGE just sitting around and doing mind talk when peace finally comes to Arda and the work is finally done

[whichofsummer]

ooc: on top of my head and without consideration to any depth of lore or even proper timelines, the dynamics of a Gil/Galadriel/Elrond poly ship would be so fascinating to explore. But also, the fun of exploring the impact of Gil's death to the other two. But also, also, how it could transition to Gandalf/Galadriel/Elrond poly.

Just, power dynamics and themes. Board positioning in terms of what type of power/ruler they are in the whole tapestry of Arda's history. The rings they hold or not hold. The emotional dynamics and needs of each person during that time of their lives.

Also, what they carried from the relationship.

Oh, oh. Another also, what if they do have a relationship, but it broke because of the whole conflict with Annatar? Like, Celeborn/Galadriel still happens. Oh, oh, what if Celebrian/Elrond is still a future in that too? Like, the nuances and distinctions and the shifting dynamics. Oooh. The changes in dynamics that would require with consideration to their long-livedness and the current peace-climate. Just imagining a scene of Elrond and Celebrian talking about his past relationship with her mom and Gil and how it shaped him and affected him. The revelation and exploration of why of all people, then, Celebrian? "Boo, you're just making Celebrian as Galadriel 2.0" Superficial a conclusion that is. Instead, imagine all the damn possibilities and spaces to explore just because of that conflict. Vault of Heaven, Lord of Imladris, what do you see in this woman that, with her, you would choose the rest of so long, when you've basked in the golden light of glory?

Like, the dynamics. The strength of will and experience needed to just go through that and commit. The flaws and contentions and shortcomings that need to be aired out and communicated properly. The amount of work required for two long-lived beings with definitely different priorities given their experiences to come together with all that they know and not know, and be damn happy. Anyway, back to GGE. Like, I love the possibilities that already exist and could be explored just from their friendship. You can even blur the line of the intensities of emotions as long as you can make it work and be believable, but also. What if?

Is this because of ROP? no. I have watched scenes, sure. But there's a damn something in that Tolkien line about how GGE just sat around doing osanwe talk (was it on the end of LOTR? maybe, memory is blergh) that I just... *muah*
