The Breath of Galadriel
@heavyelfbreath.bsky.social
Frequently heavy. Definitely Unhinged. Cannot be contained. Wife of Halbrand. Mother of Celebrian, Fírrin, Amáriel, and perhaps more? Queen of the Southlands.

Thank you for finding and sharing.

All that being said, it's still 100% okay to prefer him as one of the Maiar if that's more exciting for you. That's okay. But you can do that without also completely putting down and dismissing the value he could have had as a human character.
January 22, 2025 at 2:49 PM
Rolling your eyes at, and assuming a character like Halbrand must be boring and beneath Galadriel's notice just because he's human, is extremely short-sighted and says a lot about a person's lack of imagination.
January 22, 2025 at 2:48 PM
The flip side is also true, you can have the most outwardly ordinary character in the world, but if you lead them through an incredible story arc, they can be so interesting to engage with.
