The Middle-earth Thanksgiving Meme



Prompts

1. Cooking! Mmm Lembas... Is it supposed to be smoking like that?
2. Long lost relatives! Long time no see! How were the halls this time of year?
3. THAT relative! Nobody wants them to be here. Is it you or someone else?
4. Too much wine! Go ahead and speak your mind or act ridiculous.
5. Clean up! If you didn't cook, you clean up, it's only fair.
6. Food Coma! Apparently a condition that can affect even Elves.

OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU LIKE! AU IT UP!
Doesn't have to be a Thanksgiving dinner with relatives - friends or enemies are cool too!

[Either back from the halls or never went there. - OTA]

Galion

[galion]

[Ugh, guess who's in charge of cooking AND clean up. There might also have been some wine in there. OTA.]

Lindir

[lindir]

[Is it time to panic? Yes. Yes it is. OTA]

maedhros

[nelyafinwe]

[slave driver eldest son of feanor, probably in charge of everything.]

GLEEEE

[bythewaves]

[ A long suffering sigh ]

Yes Nyelo, the turkey is fine. I checked it not five minutes ago, will you rest a while please?

Thingol

[thingol]

[Family is everything.]

Celebrian

[silvergift]

[Family time!]

[themariner]

[ So. Given that reunions in Valinor tend to be a time of joy and glad tidings, sometimes those reunions get a little extra punch. Earendil is long accustomed to spending his only time on land with his wife in her tower. But for the holidays this year, he's been granted leave to step onto Aman's soil and meet his family.

The mariner never got to known his granddaughter, but maybe meeting her mother, and the woman his son fell in love with, will suffice. At some point, a tall, blond man strides up and asks the former Lady of Rivendell for a dance. Without introducing himself woops? ]

Luthien

[fertilefeet]

[Guess who's making the centerpiece?]

[singsthesong]

Have you seen your father?

[This must be the biggest turkey in the history of turkeys that he is carrying. ...it probably isn't a turkey. But let's pretend that it is for the sake of everyone's feelings.]

Nerdanel

[sculptor_of_aman]

[The clan matriarch--someone has to keep the gathered relations from killing each other!]

how about a husband?

[second_time_around]

[He's ready to kill everyone when he finds his wife in the kitchen.]

Is this day over yet?

Thranduil

[elvenking]

[Yeahhhhhh]

...or I could do it the right way.

[tallbeechtree]

[Alive in Doriath or Lindon, or "surprise! they let me out of the halls for the day"?]

Earwen

[swanmaid]

[Organization skills, right here. She'll make sure things run smoothly.]

Legolas

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[He'll be having fun where ever he wants.]

Elwing

[swandiving]

[She is not dinner, screw you.]

WE SHOULD DO HORRIBLE AWKWARD THINGS

[bythewaves]

[ So once upon a time Maglor watched Elwing take the last step backwards off a balcony and then proceeded to kidnap and raise her sons. And now said sons would like both sets of their family to at least try and not kill each other so. Uh. Hi? Standing here awkwardly and looking at anything but Elwing yep ]

The.. um. Decorations look very lovely.

[ how does small talk ]

Amroth

[silvanking]

[Probably making lots of decorations, or being a social butterfly.]

Nerdanel

[bankthefire]

Nimrodel

[whitegrotto]

[silvanking]

[Time to turn on the charm]

I'm so glad you were able to join the festivities, my lady. Is there anything I can get for you?

Celebrían

[westboundwounded]

[Likely playing the gracious hostess--welcome!]

Varda

[lady_of_the_stars]

[What, Valar can't enjoy the festivities too?]

Namo

[doomsyou]

[Just hanging around.]

Maglor

[bythewaves]

[ He wrote an ode to the turkey ]

[firstborncopper]

Truly, little brother? An ode to the turkey?

Elladan

[huntingorcs]

[ He probably spiked the punch ]

[lindir]

[Lindir is just as busy as you would expect this time of year. At the current time, he's putting out hot food items one by one. Keeping grip on some baked turnips with a protective cloth, he enters the room... and pauses when he sees Elladan.]

...My lord?

[You're not getting up to trouble, are you...?]

Erestor

[asinglebook]

[ So help him if you ruin all his careful preparations HE WILL END YOU


You are going to do it anyway aren't you. ]

[galion]

[Galion is supposed to be helping. Unsurprisingly, he's not. The only thing he insists upon handling himself is the wine... which he's testing. Again. Just to make sure it's still okay.]

Faramir

[theywhowait]

[ Don't mind him, he's done with the organising and is now going to sit here and admire that pretty Rohirrim girl ]

[nelyafinwe]

[ It's kind of hard to admire the pretty Rohirrim girl when there's a really, really tall elf standing in front of you, Faramir. Of course, he's got an armload of firewood braced against his chest and is meticulously setting it down piece by piece. So the redhead may not even realize he's blocking the view. ]

Beren

[erchamion]

[ He's just here. In the darkest corner. Peeking shyly at Luthien ]

Caranthir

[grumpycatanthir]

[ He hates you, he hates the food, he hates parties in general.

But the wine is pretty good. ]

...young!Feanor WHAT IS MY LIFE

[needscounselling]

[ Pass the turkey knife HALF-BROTHER ]

A beautiful thing, that's what. Have a future!wife.

[copper_loved]

Hey there. What do you say we go pick some berries for the pie?
