#‘swear an oath and then talk to me about the perils of war-driven quests’

[gossip-girl-of-middleearth]

Can’t believe it just kinda dawned on me, as I was brushing my teeth, that Maglor, during the early Fellowship/Ring Council days, was probably still in contact with Elrond and hanging around close by, and knew that Mairon/Sauron—his dead family’s lifelong nemesis—was stirring some bad shit up, but he ultimately decided to just pull the “senior’s retirement” card and not offer up his no doubt exceptionally superior combat skills to assist in any way, shape or form

This is literally him and I love it
