Is there a character you're obsessed with?

I would appreciate if you could reread the thread and retract this. My four posts on this thread have been replies to: mindil (starting the Nellas discussion), you ('Meleth loves Morleg'), you ('Nellas still loves Turin'), and WCH ('Nellas is probably dead'). I haven't actually replied to anything mindil said about Nellas, and the only posts of yours on the subject that I haven't replied to were your clarification of whose big brother you meant, and a quote showing that Nellas may have loved Turin (which I already agreed with in the third reply above).

I don’t really mind people mixing me up with other Downers, but when I get cast as the Case In Point Villain as a result, it's kind of upsetting.

To address the original question: mindil says she's obsessed with the missing women of Tolkien? I'm generally 'obsessed' with the women who are there but relatively undeveloped. Tolkien did a lot of sketching-in his woman characters, so we get fascinating glimpses of Haleth and her Amazons, Emeldir 'the Man-Hearted', and indeed Nellas the slightly-crazy Sinda. I love playing around to see what other information I can tease out about them.

(Incidentally, Urwen, I can't remember whether I ever mentioned my fanfic where Lady Haleth briefly gets lost in Nan Elmoth, but I have one.)

That's exactly it. You didn't respond to me pointing out that Nellas loved Turin.

Ah, but that's the beauty of it: she doesn't have to get over him for millennia. - - me, agreeing with that before you even posted a quote.

What about after I posted the quote? You suddenly went silent after that. I wanted to have a back and forth talk about it with you...

It sounds like you're taking my not replying to something you said to mindil, on a subject we were already in agreement on, as a personal slight. I'm sorry to hear that; I assure you it wasn't.

As it happens, I'd already pretty much checked out of the conversation after my second reply to you. I only ducked back in to make sure WCH didn't get the wrong end of the stick about the idea I'd raised re: Nellas.

I don't think I'll post in this thread again, but I will repeat my request that you recognise the sheer inaccuracy of this claim:

Because it's still pretty upsetting.

Oh, it's upsetting to you, isn't it? Well, it's upsetting to me that you refuse to have a back-and-forth conversation with me. I rather enjoy exchanging opinions with you in that manner.

But I guess it only matters to you when you're upset, not when someone else is. So if you want to recognize that you're upset, you need to recognize that I am upset too and why. Then we'll apologize to each other and move on.

The irony here is that you spent several posts complaining that people weren't posting on-topic, and now you've added an entire non-topic soap opera on top of that. Hilarious.
