High King Gil-galad
@gilgadaddy.bsky.social
I'm literally the High King of the Noldor and the Noldor even piss ME off. (RP account run by dreadwolfknot !)
+an outsider. I identify as strictly male; some of us are static in our presentation and identities.
I prefer men, yes, but if my partner, someone whom I was in love with, was fluid in their identity, it wouldn't bother me, despite my preference.
Men and Elves can learn much from each other, no?

I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting Ji yet, but each Nazgûl I've met so far has been a unique pleasure. I am happy for you, to finally be allowed to live honestly, and to do so with someone you care for. *He smiles, sounding sincere.*

Forgive me; I assumed you went home, at the end of the day, a home which was not... here. I suppose an inn is the perfect place to work /and/ live. It must be convenient. *He smiles, only a bit embarrassed by his false assumption.*
If I may say, that sounds more like 'once royalty, always royalty'.

+difficult for some of us to even think of without experiencing a sense of primordial fear. It is inborn, but without Sauron, it is my hope that Mordor can heal, & that my people may travel here without that innate feeling of dread.

He is so impossibility polite! Truly, Khamul sounds more a prince than I ever did, or /do/ as a High King. *Ereinion chuckles warmly, amused, and delighted at how fondly Talion speaks of his fellow former Nazgûl.* Though... no wonder he's so handsome, if he was a prince.

As for Galadriel, she is stubborn, but so am I. She and I have had more arguments than I can count in all our years, but we are family. I choose to believe that she will listen, and see the benefits of becoming allies with Mordor and its people, so that we may put the past behind us all.

I've sent missives to the other Elven lords, though, yes, Galadriel is... an obstacle. But I have no intention of giving up this task. My aunt is stubborn, but I am more than used to dealing with her temper. *He laughs.*

Oh, an Elf can decide they feel like a man or a woman or neither at all each morning, should the mood strike them. Our bodies do not change, but we are very fluid in the concept of gender. One of my fathers could bear children, while the other could sire. It is as simple as that.
