I don't know any woman who, if they could see into hearts, wouldn't be touched by one as noble as Gimli treating her with such reverence.

She gave it to Gimli because he was very humble when he asked for it.

I love this. Gimli doesn't even know what he got.

I'm just saying the Silmarillion is probably the hardest book I have ever read, it made Being and Time by Heidegger look like a kids book!

not to mention the rendezvous with Gandalf and late-night telepathy with Elrond...

Galadriel is Elrond's mother in law. This isn't ASOIAF.

Imagine if you did this to a woman in real life. As a man, I would probably give someone some hair if they did this
HatsAreEssential
It really depends on what the guy wanted it for. If he planned to have in encased in a jeweled box like Gimli did, that'd be awesome.

Fëanor(the ghost) asked her for her hair 3 times, but was turned down cuz he was a douche who was going to use it for evil elf-magic.
Smigions
Thanks
SgtEziosRequiem
Gimli(the dwarf) asked her for hair only because he thought 1. He was never going to see her again, 2. she was beautiful.
huanthewolfhound
Poll time! How many have read the Silmarillion? And you don't need to tell me you skipped the very beginning Creation and pre-Elf Age story.

Faenor a dick, wanted one hair, Galadriel said no. Lore.

Feanor was THE craftsmen of early elves, Asked her for some hair to create an epic tree, she shot him down but gave some to a dirt grubber

I don't think Galadriel would resort to chatspeak like "ur". :)
IAmAtWorkRightNow
But she would DEFINITELY say "lil shit"
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Who else thought she didn't quite look the part? o/
IAmAtWorkRightNow
She's so beautiful I don't know what you're talking about.
mastercheif
I personally find her to be so ugly.
RelativeVelocity
I agree.
NexiKuro
I liked her, she wasn't the cliche oval faced elven beauty which I appreciated. And she was appropriately terrifying.
TheDreadPirateBoberts
I think she is exactly as spooky and beautiful as she needs to be.
zigzagler
Mayhaps there is something undiscovered about the Lady Galadriel. i.e. "It ain't gonna suck itself, Feanor."
IDontKnowHowToHuman
A) I love Galadriel, and B) that's my fetish, so ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
ambiguoussmash
That is... more terrifying than I thought it would be.
istilldontknow
shes pretty terrifying in oone of the hobbit movies when she was fighting sauron
IDontKnowHowToHuman
Yeah, terrifying in a FUCKING AWESOME way that makes me love her even more!
LadyBaconTits
Ohhh my god I just geekgasmed so hard.
Dekacube
Eh, Feanor wouldn't have been a ghost, he's waiting in the Halls of Mandos in Valinor.

That small inaccuracy does not make this less funny you killjoy.

Galadriel should have really fucked with Fëanor by giving him pubes. Fuck that guy.
BadgerTribe

LiTMac
Depending on the lore, elves may or may not have body hair, or hair anywhere but eyebrows and scalp. Not sure about LotR, though.
Eowyneb
Elves are a creation of Tolkien. it is because of him that there are so many recreations, so no. Original elves do have hair.
andy1max
Tolkien did not create the myth of elves. Elves are at least as old as the Norse myths.
Eowyneb
You are extremely wrong. Elfs are a mythological creature but ELVES are purely a creation of Tolkien.
BIC777
Actually, I don't think the book ever specifies WHERE the 3 hairs came from.
tolkiennerd36
It does not
IDontKnowHowToHuman
In the movie he says he asked for "one hair from her golden head." So I'm just going with that. Also Tolkien wasn't perverted enough.
huanthewolfhound
Although he did leave a few general notes on Elvish reproductive practices once a couple got married. Nothing much, though.
ICouldNotFindAUsernameIWanted
That's either not kinky at all or kinky as all hell.
BIC777
How dare you try to spoil my conjecture with your evidence. Plus, using the movie as evidence is weak :)
IDontKnowHowToHuman
Yeah, that's why I just said it's good enough for me, not that it really proves anything. If anything, Tolkien's biographies prove more.
HeWhoPours
Aside from the kinslaying, he had the right to do pretty much everything he did. Just sayin', I don't hate him as much as normal readers do.
ThePickle
Prior to that, his only crime was being a dick to everybody. Pretty unlikable
WhateverIsTrendyRightNow
The kinslaying was pretty awful, though. Also, the oath that he and his sons took led to a lot of bad shit.
HeWhoPours
I was fine with pretty much everything but the kinslaying, which was terrible. He was chasing the Dark Lord to another continent. 1/
HeWhoPours
2/ Pretty badass guy in all regards besides the mistake of kinslaying.
SixWingsWide
Can I get a TL;DR?
ThePickle
No
HeWhoPours
2/ in the process killing his father. He followed him to Middleearth, and killed fellow elves to use their ships after they refused him.
HeWhoPours
Pretty much the greatest elf who ever lived, at least in terms of craftsmanship. Made some amazing jewels that Melkor stole from him, 1/
andy1max
Actually, I think Telchar was a greater craftsman, but I'm not clear on that.
HeWhoPours
3/ He and his sons made a vow making anyone who refused them the jewels an enemy. It led to a lot of bad stuff. Very shortened synopsis.
SixWingsWide
Works for me, thanks!
TrygonTBD
No. You really can't. The silmarillion IS the TL:DR.
WhateverIsTrendyRightNow
Feanor was the most badass elf ever and a total asshole. He was the first elf to kill other elves. He did it because he needed their boats.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
Greatest, sure, we have to give him that. But most badass? Gotta give that crown to Fingolfin.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
Feanor, proof that elves are just as dickish as man and the knife ears need to get off their high horse.
clavdivscaesar
Galadriel wasn't so innocent herself. I believe there was a little incident in which she participated known as "the kinslaying".
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
The Kinslaying at Alqualondë? That was after she left Feanor. That was still Feanor being an asshole.

Fingolfin was a pretty cool dude. Pity he trusted Feanor so much though.

Considering they're the considered "superior beings" I think it'd be equivalent to being called "cracker" incorrect? Sure, but who cares?
sms001
Well, at the point the cartoon happens, we're entering the Age of Men, so superior or not, I think they fill a minority niche.
DarthFutuza
They're not really superior beings, they just think they are cause they've been around longer.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
They're immortal, immune to disease, taller, stronger, more graceful, better eyesight, more attuned with magic, no downsides.
Rheios
If we're going with AD&D elves - bs. They're frail compared to humanity, and a trait those elves share with Tolkien's is their tendency(1)
DarthFutuza
The downside, is that they don't move on when they die.
DarthFutuza
Yeah but they lack the Gift of Man.

Is that supposed to be Jorah? I feel like that should be Jorah.

Fëanor was shot down so hard, he got unfriended way before Facebook even was a thing.
andy1max
I don't recall reading in The Silmarillion that Feanor asked Galadriel for a hair. Where is that?

It wasn't in The Silmarillion but in Unfinished Tales, in the chapter entitled "The History of Galadriel and Celeborn".

Question: Is The Children of Hurin good?
pinklebaboon
I read it a few months ago and really enjoyed it. It is an easier read than the Silmarillion in my opinion and is a good story.
CommanderDick
Is it like a different version than the Silmarillion? Or completely different story? Thinking about buying as an x-mas present for my dad.
MMAgCh
Fingolfin is never not gonna be the biggest badass in all the history of Middle-earth.
SluttyToast
I think Ecthelion would be the biggest badass. It's probably a toss up between him, Fingolfin, and Earendil, probably.

You guys are making me consider opening up The Silmarillion again...

Then Fënor proceeded to be the catalyst of every terrible thing since.

Kitkathylu
It's the Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien if you're interested. Pretty fascinating.
PhilosophicalGinger
If you didn't know, the Silmarillion is essentially the entire history of the world of the Lord of the Rings. And I do mean "entire"

But without Fëanor, the light of the Trees would've been extinguished forever. So from him came great horror and yet the brightest hope.

Yeah but her hair isn't imperishable and holy.
