View Full Version : Your LOTR mate

For guys and gals


from LOTR who would you choose as your significant other


It's a toss between arwen and eowyn,but i'd choose the latter.
Arwen's a bit of a homebody. I'm a bit of an adventurer and I would like a mate of similar interest.

Besides after the LOTR she was a healer.

so i've have some to hug and hold
AND
someone who would be a comrade in arms

Probably Glorfindel, or Gildor. I think most likely Gildor though. I liked his personality.

Selwythe

Ahem, I am afraid there are only 3 female characters in LoTR, unless I choose marry Rosie Cotton, who's half my height. Or maybe I can add Shelob to the equation?

I think I will choose from Silmarillion, and that'd be Idril (Elbereth's taken :( )

But if I have to choose from LoTR, easy, Galadriel. Beauty and wisdom. Anti-establishment (didn't care about the West) and a fetish for Dwarves.

There's many more females than that Selwythe! There's just not a whole lot of very important female characters. Anyway I'd choose Ioreth.

I think I will choose from Silmarillion, and that'd be Idril (Elbereth's taken :( )

So is Idril!

galadriel
10-05-2001, 11:26 PM
I also really like Faramir. Great personality, a total hottie <according to my imagination, anyway>. It'd have to be pre-Eowyn, of course.

Selwythe's choice made me recall something


I think in unfinished tales or book of lost tales

there is SOMETHING about galadriel being "athletic" in her youth
or competing in physical skill against feanor or her brothers MAYBE?

if someone could verify that for me then i'd change to galadriel.

i'm 6' 2" it would interesting to date someone taller than I.

plus the beauty, wisdom, power, "magic", athletics goin' on

Unfinished Tales: "She grew to be tall beyond the measures even of the women of the Noldor, she was strong of body, mind, and will, a match for both the loremasters and the athletes of the Eldar in the days of their youth." (UT The History of Galadriel and Celeborn)

afro-elf
10-06-2001, 12:58 PM
In that case its Galadriel.

Selwythe
10-06-2001, 02:32 PM
Yes, Idril may be taken but I'm Tuor.

Ñólendil
10-06-2001, 05:15 PM
In fact afro-elf, I do believe Galadriel was taller than you, by some four inches I think.

That's what I meant that it would be interesting to date someone taller that I am.

I would choose Frodo. Frodo. *sigh*.

Defiantly Aragorn, though Legolas isn't that bad either, but I don’t usually go for blondes

galadriel
10-07-2001, 08:43 PM
I hate to burst your bubble, but even if Frodo really did look like Elijah Wood (I never pictured him that cute, not that I'm complaining), he's half your size. But I can see where you're coming from.

Ñólendil
10-07-2001, 11:21 PM
One of the few times I watched Oprah (in some time of dark despair, no doubt), it was about a blind date. A little person (about three feet tall or thereabouts) had been set up with a man over seven feet tall. They hit it off quite well, and actually fell in love.

I wouldn't know about Elijah Wood, but according to Gandalf Frodo was 'fairer than most [hobbits]'.

Well, unfortunately, I don't find Elijah Wood cute at all, and if Frodo looked like him, he'd be obnoxious. And I also think that size (or height) doesn't matter.

What does it mean Inoldonil? Ioreth was a healer that liked to talk alot. Right?

Ñólendil
10-08-2001, 11:46 PM
She's an old lady! I'm fifteen, she's like what, seventy? I've got some good choices: Goldberry, Arwen, Galadriel, Éowyn, several Hobbit-woman, even Rosie Cotton, but Ioreth?

But yes, she was a healer that liked to talk a lot, in the Houses of Healing.

Thank you for the compliment, but I'll trade you ages any day. 'Very learned' + 'so young' = 'no girlfriend' I'm afraid. I know it's really hard to tell here ( :p ), but I'm a fantasy geek at heart. You know, Ioreth doesn't sound so bad when you think about it ...

Call me stupid...but who are Aegnor and Andreth? (That's going to bug me all day now...I have no clue who they are!) Aegnor is the brother of Finrod Felagund who are the brothers of Galadriel. If you have not read the Silmarillion, This is where you will find these two charming fellows. Andreth was a mortal woman that was in love with Aegnor who was a Noldorin prince. This story is located in Vol. 10 of the Histories of Middle-earth. It is called Morgoth's Ring (Athrabeth Finrod Ah Andreth.)

10-13-2001, 09:50 AM
Wait a minute, Inoldonil is male?

Oops, something about her...sorry, his name gave me an impression that she...HE was female...

I smelled a fish when you were talking about female LoTR mates. I was wondering...never mind.

What's female about 'Inoldonil'? In actuallity a female could safely bear that name (it not conveying one sex or the other, in sense), but I never thought it sounded female. I'll ignore the 'fish' comment.

If I had my way my name would be Ñoldonil, or Ñoldodil.

a maia= as long as its not Sauron and was male

Seriously now, if you wanted a female whom others could not see easily her beauty, it's Eowyn.

Or Galadriel actually, since humans go there so seldom. Pretty hard to see her.

mithrellas was a companion of nimrodel the love of Amroth the Lord of Lorien before Galadriel. he was the founder of Dol Amroth.

Mithrellas fled lorien when the balrog rose in moria.

she bore two children with imrazor, galador and gilsmith

galador is mentioned in UT pg 248 and 316

gilsmith UT 248

when imrahil is speaking of his elven ancestory in LOTR these are
people he is refering to

But Imrahil has elven blood in him so I think he belongs more in the elven category then in the Man category.

aragorn has elven blood of a higher pedigree tham imrahil.
Do you count him as elven too.


All imrahil's ancestors save mitherallas are mortal.


would you count eldarion and his sister's elven too?

The issue is that in some cases, offspring from Elf/Man marriages were given a choice by the Valar. That is if the Valar thought the issue to be important enough.
When it comes to Aragorn I think his choice was made by Elros ages before. Arwen had to choose mortality when she choose Aragorn.

In other cases no such choice was given and the offspring would be mortals, like in the case of Imrazor and Mithrellas. I think it is said someplace there might have been other cases similar to theirs.

Kirinki54
11-05-2001, 06:18 AM
BTW I wonder if there were ever any mixed Hobbit/Man marriages/offspring? I think it is untold of, but should be fully possible as both are branches of Men. However, I think it says of Bree where such a union would be the likeliest, that the Hobbits and Men lived side by side, not together.

as for the height issue, i could just have gandalf turn me into a hobbit. failing that, i'm short so it'd only be about a foot of difference. :D

From Lord of the Rings, my first choice would probably be Faramir. I like his combination of kindness and strength, also his ability to resist the temptation of the Ring. Other choices would be Glorfindel or Legolas.
The character I really want to marry though is from the Silmarillion. From the very first time I read the book I fell in love with Finrod Felagund's selflessness and nobility. Just my luck that he's fated never to marry. :(

Any (male) elf with a nice personality would do. Well, maybe one of the Rohirrim. Maybe. I'm not exactly big on horses, y'know.

Um, hate to break it to you, Inoldonil, but fair may mean something besides Nordic-looking in that context. That is, prettier, more beautiful. Anyway, blond hobbits are rare. Most are brown-haired and brown-eyed. Arrgghh! Elijah Wood has blue eyes! Inaccuracy! Read the books!

Blond hobbits are rare, but it doesn't mean they don't exist. Can anyone prove that Frodo isn't blond? Or red-haired, say? And why couldn't he have blue/green/grey eyes? The book doesn't really say anything about his looks.

P.S. In the movie, EVERYONE has either blue or green eyes.

P.P.S. It seems that many of those who picked Frodo are influenced by Elijah's angelic baby-face. Not that it's wrong, of course; but it's funny.

I actually couldn't make out the color of Bloom's eyes in the movie, they seemed either brown or green. So I'm not sure if they gave him contacts or not. But as there are quite a few things in the movie that aren't consistent with the books, I assume they could just have an elf with brown eyes.

Strider OVER Aragorn? Unless he has some gymnastic abilities that I am not aware of, it would be difficult for Strider to be over Aragorn in any sense of the word. Of course I believe in character development as much as anyone, I am curious how one would choose one person over the same person?

hama, she's probably wanting Strider over Aragorn in a subtle attempt to arrange a menage-a-trois. Of course, she could get Elessar to join in too, for a full-blown orgy. LOL! Girl's gettin' greedy!

Maybe he/he/he will have to change clothes repeatedly and real fast....and move around a lot!

I honestly believe that if elves existed today they would resemble something a geek, only more physical.


I assume you wanted to say "something like a geek"


However, I do not know what the image of geek is to you.

I think of homely, poor fashion, couch potatoes.


But, I beg to differ. I think they would be more along the lines of refined and cultured ballerinas.


But to be honest, there are only three choices for the straight guys as a mate in LotR: Arwen, Eowyn, and Galadriel. Goldberry's taken.

They are ALL taken.

But we still can dream on.

I gotta agree with you there, afro-elf. I've always had a "thing" about Liv Tyler's looks too, and it ain't positive. Now don't get me wrong, I think she did a good job in the role as written, but the girl just don't get my blood a pumping, if'n ya knows what I means...

Only girls in the film I thought were all that "hot" were Rosie Cotton and a couple of the Hobbit-lasses who "oooohed" and "aaahed" over Gandalf's fireworks at the Birthday Party. I have a feeling they were just local Wellington girls but they had really beautiful smiles....and no, Kate Blanchett don't do it for me either...though she did a good job as Galadriel and as the narrator...

I missed the movie while in Thailand. The there was a midnight showing but my plane left at 3:00. I hope it is still playing there when I go back in about 5 weeks. ( one of the few good things about this damn country is I get decent vacations)
Anyway, the point being is that I'll have to wait see if there is anyone in the movie to whom I can fawn over.

Did they show any other Elven women besides Galadriel and Arwen?

bropous
01-09-2002, 12:09 PM
Actually, afro-elf, they DO show other Elven women besides Arwen and Galadriel, but mostly only in "long shots" so you don't get a real good look at 'em.

Just curious: what country are you in?

Western women? As in square dancin' chicks? ;)

Hell, I'm starved for the sight of ANY woman. I see more on Tusken Raider and Jawa women.

The saving grace is that I get a little over 3 months vacation ( two of which are paid) spread over the year, which with I can escape.

After being many places, I went to Thailand for Ramadan break and it seems to be the remedy to my Far Harad blues.

Heading there again in about 5 weeks.

I find living here has completely and utterly destroyed any respect I may have for Islam and soured me on many things aside from just that.

Why I do I stay? I wanna go back to school and I wanna save enough so I don't have to work while I study( as I teacher, I NOW truly understand the commitment needed to be a student) and I wanna set aside enough for anothers BS and a another MS.

I wanna leave the liberal arts behind and move into science, which means I REALLY have to buckle down. There is tad room for BOVINE DEFICATION in science. Quite unlike my current degrees.

Wasn't the single Valier the depressed one?

With my current mental state she might commit suicide.

Just give me a Quendi girl.

afro-elf

I guess technically, she is in LOTR.

Menelvagor
01-11-2002, 11:00 PM
Silmarien was was the daughter and oldest child of one of the early Numenorian Kings (not sure which). She was passed over for Queen (even though Tar-Ancalime had become a queen earlier, and it had been established that the eldest child, male or female, would take the crown), but her childeren were the begining of the line of Isuldur. I actually don't know much about her, just what it says in the appendix, but I think she's in the Silmarillion. (I haven't read it, but I would assume...)

-Menelvagor:)

afro-elf
01-11-2002, 11:42 PM
What I meant was, the question was what LOTR character would be your mate. Silmaren is not in the story of the LOTR. BUT she is in the book per se. Albeit in the appendix. So, I was just saying that you could choose her on a technicality.

Menelvagor
01-12-2002, 10:10 AM
But they were picking charaters that were in lotr! *whines*:D

When I made that last post, I was responding to Wayfarer. Actually, I don't know why I picked Silmarien, I was just kinda looking for a name that most other people wouldn't pick, it doesn't have to be her. Second choice would be Eowyn, any girl that would fight the witch king is good enough for me.:)

A hearty "Welcome to the Moot" to you both, Menelvagor and Mrs Legolas!

I agree that any lady who can stick it to the Witch King of Angmar and live is a girl after me own heart...especially if she looks like the actress who plays her in Peter Jackson's The Two Towers, from what I can tell from the back of the paperback...

And can someone take a look at the paperback and let me know, if you are familiar with the actor, is the guy who looks like he is going to be playing Theoden the fellow who plays "Father Jack" on "Father Ted"? Sure looks like him...

Hmmm....if memory serves me correctly, Kamyel, from left-to-right, the photos are of:

1. A fellow in a helm with a prominent noseguard, whom I take to be Eomer;

2. A fellow with dark armor, greying hair and short, greying beard, whom I take to be Theoden; and

3. A beautiful, grave blond woman whom I take to be Eowyn.

I'm hoping my memory is serving correctly from looking at the "film series" printing of the LotR paperbacks and quality paperbacks at the bookstore.

Being short is not that much of a problem. If you spent 12 years of school being the shortest in class, you get kinda used to it. The problem is on parties, try to dance a comfortable slow with a guy that's 2 heads taller.

Anyhow it would be Arwen but not the Liv Tyler Arwen i dont think shes too hot and in the books Arwen had this koo hidden power to her that never really came out she was jsut absoltely beautiful in the books. Dunno something about her being an elf(oh yes an elf fetish) and being powerful and stunningly hot.

At first, I thought of Luthien or Arwen, but realized that I'd probably spend most of our time together saying, "Gee, honey, you're SO beautiful!" I think our marriage would last 3, 4 months, TOPS!

So I'd have to pick Goldberry. She reminds me of what we used to call a "Hippie Chick." I can just see her in a peasant blouse and floor length cotton dress, baking something or other (with honey) by candlelight....(sigh)...and I'd walk into the kitchen and say, "Gee, Goldberry, you're SO beautiful!"

Uhhhhhhh--are there any AVERAGE looking women in the trilogy? As the old song says--

Galadriel

I agree with Liviaine. Legolas all the way. I mean, check it out: hot, tall, pointy ears, archer (gotta love the bow and arrow), loves trees, cool attitude, plays morbid games.... Although if Legolas was taken, I'd go for Glorfindel or Elrohim or the other son of Elrond.

He's great because he's intelligent, travels a lot, can fight, has his own lands (how many girls can say that their guy is a king :D ).

She was 6'4", an athlete, wise, beautiful and POWERFUL( Ithink the height and athletic stuff is in BOLT or BOUFT)

but I realize that she is a high maintence broad so I think that goldberry would be the choice

she is a low maintence maia.


I imagine that her greatest pleasure is pleasing her mate. so by making you happy she derives pleasure and because you are happy because of what she does it increase sher happiness so its a BEAUTIFUL CYCLE OF BLISS

Imagine something like this

Me:
"Lets just stay in bed for an age or so and cuddle and read LOTR, HOB, SIL,etc.."

Her:
she kisses me and says "Sure!"


Me:
Lets go explore ME

she kisses me and says " the bags are packed"

I have to go fight against the dark lord

she kisses me and says " I shall fight by your side"
