“Many are the songs that have been sung of the duel of Glorfindel with the Balrog upon a pinnacle of rock in that high place... “
The Silmarillion, Chapter 23 : of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin, 1977, J.R.R Tolkien,
Glorfindel is one of my favorites Elves from Tolkien's books and I really wanted to drawing and paint his last fight when everything is lost.
Gondolin, the last Elven sanctuary of Beleriand is no more. Its people are dead or trying to espace by the mountains with despair and fear, as Morgoth's forces hunt them down.
And then came Glorfindel, an Elf chieftain, who is certainly weakened by the Siege and perhaps knowing that this fight againts the Balrog will bring their both end, but he will give a chance to his people and friends to escape to safety.
Glorfindel is I think, one of the greastest, selfless and bravest hero of Middle-Earth. Not just during that fight (which that will allowed to Eärendil to live and bring back hope on Middle-Earth) but also during the events of The Lord of the Rings... to help once more the Free People in their darkest hours.

Every time I rewatch The Lord of the Rings I oscillate violently between “it’s important to show men having close, supportive friendships and I’m so glad Peter Jackson chose to show all the male characters being loving and physically affectionate with one another in a healthy, platonic way” and “damn, these bitches gay. good for them, good for them”
Gotta be honest with ourselves if one of us ended up in Middle Earth we wouldn't be able to fix shit, we'd fail the moment there was no toilet paper or tampons let alone pain meds
I am half asleep and started thinking about the Fellowship at the dentist, so:
WOULD THE FELLOWSHIP BE AFRAID OF GOING TO THE DENTIST?
Frodo: No. Goes to the dentist very rarely anyway, as his genes have blessed him with basically zero cavities.
Sam: A little nervous about it, but he goes there regardless. He has cavities, and Frodo convinces him to go. His hands sweat while he is in the chair, and he bows as a thank you before leaving the room.
Pippin: No. He goes there for fun, because he wants to try the laugh gas. Claims to have cavities more often than he actually does, just so he can take a handful of the candy offered for kids when he leaves.
Merry: No. He goes in, flirts with the receptionist, sits in the chair, and goes home.
Aragorn: No, but before he became King and he went there once, there was a shit ton of cavities and it took him like 3 appointments to take care of them all.
Gimli: Doesn't even go. Some of his teeth are probably some gold he struck in his mouth himself to resemble teeth.
Boromir: Terrified. Said "Gondor has no dentist, Gondor needs no dentist" so many times that he was dragged to the dentist (next to his house) by force. He acts all cool, but when he stands up from the chair, its just wet from his sweat.
Legolas: Doesn't need a dentist. Sometimes goes there to hold Boromir's hand and to look at all the equipment in amazement.
Gandalf: Doesnt need a dentist, but goes there from time to time just to sit down on the chair and talk to the dentist and the assistants for hours. He does this so often he has been banned from several places because 'he keeps wasting work time by endless talking'.
