Talk:Elrohir

Possible merger with Elladan?
I'll be going over Elladans page as well, but most of it is the same as here. Would it make more sense to have an 'Elladan and Elrohir' page and have the individual names redirect there? The LOTR wiki has one page for them; the Tolkien Gateway has two, but the content on the two pages seem to be the same.

Also, from the paragraph about badslash (which I've kept intact) it sounds as if Elrohir is a more frequent victim of BS than Elladan. Is this true, or is the simply the wording that makes it sound this way? Or do I have to start reading slash with Elrohir and Elladan to see who figures more prominently?

 * I don't know about the slash, but the two are twins&mdash;they were born in the same year, noted in the timeline in LotR's appendices, and elven pregnancies last a year ("Laws and Customs of the Eldar"), so there isn't even a possibility one could have been conceived right after the other was born and then born in the same year. That would be pretty unlikely in any case. I mean, yikes. ^_^;


 * I suppose merging the two wouldn't hurt, but I'm feeling kind of skittish thanks to all the debating. I'd wait a while before doing anything. ~Neshomeh 01:20, November 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you're right about the twins thing. I'll rephrase it to make it less ambigu.. ambio.. vague.
 * And I'm in no rush to do a merger, especially since the results of the poll aren't out yet. :)

Not to burst anyone's bubble here, but I have issues with the last sentence of the article. Mostly the part where it says having Legolas in Middle-earth after the end of the Third Age is a charge. It's not explicitly stated, but it is assumed (and hinted at in some of the writings) that Legolas left Middle-earth with Gimli only after Aragorn's death in the year 120 of the Fourth Age.

Not throwing rocks at anyone, but let's try to keep the canon around here as accurate as possible? Cassie5squared 12:47, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I see what you mean. I've removed the sentence untill I or someone else can find a more accurate way to phrase that.
