  • The Defenders of Gondolin were Insular Upper-Class Snobs.

    "Oooh, look at me, I live in Gondolin! I'm too good to be out there fighting Morgoth with the rest of you schmucks, I'll just hide in here and live the easy life where he can't find me for centuries. Then later I'll dress myself up as some kind of hero."

    Geez, what a bunch of douchebags.

      Fingolfin was my favorite. Knew how to call a ***** out.
      John Brown did nothing wrong.

        Fingolfin was indeed an utter badass. It's too bad Turgon didn't turn out more like his father.

          I don't know, Maeglin was a little too goth-angsty for me. "What, I can't screw my cousin? Man, I'm sick of SOCIETY and its RULES!"

            Put yourself in his shoes. Sure, wanting to hump your cousin is a little gross, but it's happened a fair amount through history and it's really not that big a deal. It's fine that Idril wasn't into it, but instead of being flattered and uncomfortable like a normal person, she decided to straight up despise Maeglin just because he had the hots for her. Then, this stuck up ***** goes and gets knocked up by someone of a different species, yet still tries to maintain the high and mighty act. Serious, **** her. The **** deserved what she got.

              ACK!
              Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

                I have no idea what this thread is about, and I am one nerdy son of a *****.

                  I believe it is Lord of the Rings related. Though I'm not 100% sure.

                    I googled Gondolin and got some lords of the ring thing.

                      Pfft. The "Lord of the Rings" was but a servant of the Black Foe of the World.

                        The fall of Gondolin was a foundational part of Tolkien's mythology.

                          I will assume that this is some kind of Lord of the Rings reference which I am not dorky enough to get.

                          EDIT: I based this post on the first two posts in his thread. I'm glad to see I was correct.
