I've had to be reminded several times today that I am not my characters. ;_; But! I think that I have a little bit of me in each of them!!! (Although, this disturbs me, since my female characters all seem to be co-dependent. O.o)
I'm debating as to if I should include something that I've written in my vast and horrible fanfic about Glorfindel's life, tentatively entitled "Glorfindel of Gondolin and Rivendell," in a post now that he is back in Valinor. See, I wrote about his lost love (who I've casually mentioned before), and how she remained in Aman -- because she was Vanyar -- when the Noldor left. Also, how, even though he now claims he is no artisian, Glorfindel had been a respected glassworker back then, and how he never did it again after the slaughter of the Teleri, feeling that his art was tainted by his actions... and wow, am I going overboard on all this or what!?!
Oh well.
I'm with Arwen... let's kill off Elladan!!! (I am not my character, I am not my character, I am not my character... or else I'd have a split personality... oops.)
Oh, and hey!
I believe you have it right - a self esteem problem - also some
fear about taking over the kingdom given what happened to his parents
and his own low self esteem. Maybe also some commitment phobia??? I
also think that he has some abandonment issues because of the early
death of his mother and this may have resulted in some of the
relationship issues.
Heheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh. *ahem* Yeah. *grins*
*shrugs* Hey, I'm an obsessed wacko, so what?
