A Downer Fellowship

[Gil-Galad]

i thought i would play myself...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Boromir Feanor of the Peredhil. He was a good companion to Merry and I know she will take this as a compliment. They seem to share a "no nonsense attitude".

The last two are perhaps not ideal fits but I want them in my fellowship and they are not entirely inappropriate .

It is true... I take it as a very high compliment. Although I can't say that I've ever resorted to petty theft to achieve my goals...

I begin to wonder just how much tone my writing involves... I had always intended to keep my posts very factful with little opinion to them... perhaps my initial plan was tossed aside while I wasn't looking? Anyhow, to keep on topic:

Celeborn: lindil, for the Lord of the Galadhrim is accounted the wisest of the Elves of Middle-earth, and our own lindil is far wiser than this Elf.

Farmer Maggot: burrahobbit, for although I was terrified of the thought of him for quite some time, I have a shrewd suspicion that he is a good friend to those in his good graces.

[Encaitare]

Pippin - Encaitare - We last see Merry and Pippin singing on their way, and we share at least some musical tastes. And we are both fairly recently "dead" and have a similar post count so I think her Pippin will be an appropriate match for my Merry.

Well, thankee, Mith -- my sister often calls me a Fool of a Took.

[HerenIstarion]

I'm really flattered to be mentioned so many times, and in so different roles too
Thank you

Er, I suppose I should start looking after some hair-o-grow potion for my feet, as I can't be a hobbit without meeting at least some of requirements, can I?

I'm shy as to offer you my own version - too many people I would be willing to have along with me, that would not be a Fellowship, rather Last Alliance

cheers

[Bêthberry]

Mithalwen, how very clever of you!

Galadriel Because I cannot choose, not because any one of them would be insufficient in the role, I must have "three graces": Bethberry, Child of the 7th Age and Estelyn Telcontar - wise and powerful women all.

One of us to spin the web, one of us to ply it out and one of us to cut it. And who among we three is a seamstress? And who a planer and who a spinner of gauzy threads?

I think you've just earned yourself some extra length.

[Mithalwen]

I wish I were clever enough to answer this without double checking my classical mythology on Google! Well you have certainly put a darker "spin" on this than I intended. I had been thinking of Aglaia (splendour), Euphrosyne (Mirth) and Thalia (good cheer) rather than of Fates and Furies!

Extra lengthe? More rope to hang myself with?

Gil-galad ... I didn't want to typecast!

[Rimbaud]

Folco: Zifnab. (You know what I mean...)

Merry & Pippin: oblo & burra. Seriously, who else?

Celeborn: Davem, Fordim, Child et al... or NN10, depending on how you read that one quote...

Glorfindel: Kkate. Glorious on the page, but you miss her on the screen.

Frodo: Mr Underhill. Don't you people read the books? That one's easy.

The Barrow-Wight: BW. As above.

Aragorn: Esty, in a world where the real warriors make quilts.
