Are You Related???? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

*ahem*

If I were a hobbit, t'would be easiest. I'd be related to...anyone. All Hobbits are in some way related, as all family lines spring from the same essential root. Most Hobbits, or Pippin, Merry, Frodo, and Sam (at least) are probably second or third cousins somehow, considering, and the Tooks and Bagginses are more closely intertwined. I don't know WHAT I'd be, I'd just be...well, there. I'd have the benefits of having a fair genetic and familial relationship with all Shirelings.

But, as I come to the next quarry, I see where this thread fails. The Elvish heritage is so rich, all I have to do is be related to any noble elf and *poof* I'm related to 'em all. Observe. If I were Elrond's brother, I'd be related to: -Elrond (but of course),-Arwen,-Gil-galad,-Feanor,-Aragorn,-Turgon,-Fingon,-Fingolfin,-Tuor,-Huor,-Hurin,-Thingol,-Maedhros,-Isildur,-Elendil,-Every Numenorean King,-Galadriel,-Celeborn,-Earendil,-Elros,-Maglor,-Celegorm,-Cebrimbor,-Finwe,-Olwe,-Finrod,-Elladan and Elrohir....

The list goes ever on an on
Down from the key where it began...

Well Elessar would be a very nice relative to have...but I think everyone knows I'd like to be related to...THE ENIGMA!

Silmiel of Imladris · 07-07-2004, 10:26 PM

I would be daughter of Elrond and wife of Legolas, Lady of Imladris and Princess of Mirkwood.

Aredhel · 07-07-2004, 10:45 PM

Well, Simiel, looks like we'd be sisters. I'd love to be either Elrond's daughter, or Elrond's sister... that would be most nice.

Silmiel of Imladris · 07-07-2004, 10:59 PM

Yeah a sister! I think it would also be fun to be related to Thingol and Melian. That would bring a lot of drama to one's life. Got to love that Drama Drama Drama.

I'd wanna be a Dwarf....all those mithril at Moria.

Oh. Make that heiress of Durin.

I'd want to be a hobbit. Preferably a Took, because the Took side is more adventurous by choice. Also, because I would no doubt be related to the Bagginses and Brandybucks and many others. Many, many others.
