Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Oh My God. So true!

So, before Thranduil was King of Mirkwood was he one of Thingol's people?
According to Foster's Complete Guide to ME (I can't acually remember this stuff, so I keep a reference handy - my geekiness generally consiste of saying "Oh, yes, I think I remember something like that" when someone else mentions important details. I'm very good at the supporting nodding), Thranduil lived in Lindon before establishing his kingdom, that would put him under Gil-Galad? He does seem like the type to hang out with Thingol, though. Hm, handy reference not so useful.
Anyway, I just found out that Elijah will reign o'er Bacchus and Dom will be king of Orpheus this year. Yay hobbit Mardi Gras confluence.

Gil-Galad didn't rule until after the death of his father -- I don't know when that was.

Didn't Gil-galad take over pretty much as of the drowning of Beleriand?

Turgon (G-g's daddy ahd hey! original owner of Glamdring! How about that?) died in 511 First Age, Thranduil left Lindon some time in the Second Age. So sayeth Foster, anyhow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Frodo and Sam aren't on my cutie! list, but the Orc costumes pushed 'em real close.
