I did exactly the same when I was 21. Telling you, Plastic. You're copying me, mate. Come 35, you'll start getting worried.

S'okay, as long as you avoid Mace Windu's hairstylist.

Now how come all the women I know who like long haired guys live miles away?

But long hair would suit any bloke whereas short or no hair doesn't. Tommy had a great quote somewhere about long hair, can't remember what it was.

There's nothing nicer than snuggling up in from of the couch watching footy and running your fingers through your bloke's long, soft, freshly shampooed hair. Ahhhhh. Such delicious treats that life has to offer.

*pictures self with Elrohir...

You and me both, dear, you and me both! And what if they have dark hair, but lovely saffier blue eyes. *melts*

Green eyes and long dark hair girls, that's what you like, trust me!

Elladan and Elrohir are supposed to have grey eyes. I always wondered if it meant light silvery or dark almost black?

I think light silvery, Allyssa...I always pictured gray with like a slate blueish tint...

yeah, the bluish tinge from their grandmother.

I don't think that they would have ruled together, because one is bound to be a little older than the other. I'm a twin, and I'm (get this) one minute older than my sister. Has anybody ever read the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis? The twins in one of the stories are both princes, and one is chosen to rule over the other because he is fifteen minutes older. So why would they rule together?

Royal twins have obviously intrigued postAuthorIDs but has there ever been a actual case in history?

Sorry Grondy, it was just a joke anyway, and I thought it needed to be pointed out that it exists.

Heh, it's not a REAL fan club, near enough everyone on h2g2 has one, we're kind of like a mutual appreciation society over there.

Elladan and Elrohir are my favorite characters from the book i also like Haldir and Legolas but the twins are my fave


Here's a funny interview with the twins

Q:Elrond's twins, what's it like having a sister who's about to leave you forever?

Elladan: She's always talking about Aragorn... Estel this and Estel that... yadda yadda yada.

Elrohir: Ya... annoying!

Elladan: It's not that we don't like the guy. We've been hunting with him lots. He really knows how to dice a warg.

Elrohir: Ya... he's a good hunter, fer sure.

Elladan: But to tell you the truth, it'll be a lot more peaceful around here when she moves out.

Elrohir: Ya... nice and quiet.

Elladan: And we'll probably go visit later. They're planning to have a big family and we get to be fairy god-uncles.

Elrohir: Ya... babies are cute.


Q2:Elladan and Elrohir, what was the first thing you did after dear old dad left Middle Earth?

Elladan: We grieved and wept and mourned the loss...

Elrohir: NOT!!!!

Elladan: What d'ya think we were gonna do?? We partied like there was no tomorrow.

Elrohir: Then we did all the things "dear old Dad" never let us do...

Elladan: We swam after we ate, neglected to brush our teeth and hair after meals...

Elrohir: stopped putting clips in our hair, and teased Arwen... A LOT.

Elladan: Duh!!

I'm going, I'm going...

Loved it. That is a great little site. I am going to keep going back to read more and more.

Nice one, Prog. Interesting, but no answers to the burning questions.

Maybe it's to do with something I described in a post ages ago. Being of the age they were, they were the youngsters of Rivendell, living among the retired heroes of the First Age. I think Tolkien was trying to portray in LotR a world in which the Elves had done their bit, and were just awaiting their time to leave. Although individually Elves could be dangerous opponents (eg. Glorfindel, when he sees off the Nazgul), he was trying hard not to have groups of Elves running around the land solving all the problems.

He still wanted, however, to show that some Elves (the younger ones who had not seen the battles of the First Age), were keen to fight. Okay, rather than having two twins, he could have had one lone hero. The trouble with that, however, is that a lone hero gets recognised as such and his character gets blown out of proportion. Stories of this hero could overshadow the book's hero, Aragorn. A way around this is to divide the glory into that shared by two twins. Together they are a force to be reckoned with, but because those deeds are done by two people, rather than one, the super-hero element doesn't emerge.

Being twins also means they have each other for company. They are far younger than most of the other elves in Rivendell, and if it was a lone son, he would appear tragically lonely. Together, however, nobody questions loneliness - they have each other.

I love your ideas, Val. When you think about it, one of them would make for a very solitary hero. Someone who would need to be added to the fellowship. But two of them make their solitary lifestyle more touching.

But the question it raises, is why give Elrond male offspring at all? Just a writer's whim, maybe. Maybe Tolkien just never got around to writing their story...

I agree. Tolkien never had time to finish all the stories he wanted to finish. Maybe he didn't finish this one.

We know that Tolkien wanted to make a book (or more) to follow LOTR, we know from the appendixes that Celeborn lived a while in Rivendell with the twins befor they left for Valinor. Galadriel and Elrond have done their bit, this would be the time for these three to shine. Oh what a glorious trio it would be! Can you imagine? Celeborn the wise and the lords of Rivendell with strong bonds to Gondor and the Rohirrim and to King Thranduril (sp?) in Mirkwood.. Professor why did you have to die?
