Yes, but Aragorn is Dunedain, and Arwen is an Elven-maid. That has to count for something.

It's like Beren and Lúthien all over again. Indeed, Vairë shall find that intriguing.

I should think she may.

Disparage not couple #1, for ye know not their tale!

He was a mighty plumber of the Eastern Lands (Cincinnati), most-skilled of all his high-born family.
She, the wisest loremaster in all of Arda in her field, magnetohydrodynamics! (Look it up...it's a real thing!)
Then, seeking for greater challenges to ply his trade, he sailed into the West (OK maybe he drove his van) and landed in East Los Angeles.
Whilst foraging in a wood (the lumber department at Home Depot), he saw the greatest vision of loveliness his eyes had ever beheld.
She saw him, and he saw her. They stood entranced, gazing into each other's eyes right there between the 2x4's and the plywood.

(For the rest of the tale, you must read: "The Lay of Earl and Sally", available at fine hardware stores everywhere.)

Vairë: That soundeth in the likeness of Thingol and Melian.
Lanyáre: It doth indeed, yet it cannot be, in this Seventh Age.

Lanyáre: It doth indeed, yet it cannot be, in this Seventh Age.

It could be paradoxical as Beren and Luthien akin to the likeness of Aragorn and Arwen.

Haldir: "Now go away or I shall taunt you for a second time! ... ... ... Arthurian pig-dogs!"

Seriously though-- this is the same actor, is it not?

I took this photo on my deck a few months ago. Introducing… … … Squirluman The White!!!

Is that an acorn-- or a Palantir?

 

[Eljorahir]

Is that an acorn-- or a Palantir?

Don't know about the Palantir or acorn.
I heard a loud thunk! Looked out to see this critter who'd just fallen off the roof or chimney onto the deck. It appeared to be stunned and distressed. This is an apartment deck three stories off the ground with no easy way for it to escape.

Eventually, it found The Way of Escape (maybe climbed down the brickwork). And, I was relieved to see it frolicking for acorns again a few days later.

Squirluman The White lives on! May his tail grow ever bushier!

Yeah I think it's photoshopped

 

[Elbereth Vala Varda]

Yeah I think it's photoshopped

I know that photo is, but from my memory, the Haldir actor and Hama are the same.

Ah sorry, I misunderstood you

In fairness, no one wanted Bilbo to get the Ring back, save maybe Bilbo....
