@aspecardaweek day 7; aredhel+love

Their sister was Aredhel the White. She was younger in the years of the Eldar than her brothers; and when she was grown to full stature and beauty she was tall and strong, and loved much to ride and hunt in the forests. […] Tononewasherheart’slovegiven

5. This image is about Arehdel and Galadriel.

@aspecardaweek day 4; bilbo&frodobaggins | family

But [Bilbo] had no close friends, until some of his younger cousins began to grow up. The eldest of these, and Bilbo’s favourite, was young Frodo Baggins.
