TROP fandom rn:
Part: 76/?
Galadriel – She invented bar fights. She’s also the reason bartenders cut people off when they’ve had too much to drink. Someone looks at her funny and the next thing they know, they’re hanging off a light fixture with half their teeth missing. The bar owners would blacklist her but they’re secretly way too impressed (and scared).
Elrond – He’s definitely the type to de-escalate a situation with words, even with several drinks inside him, but there are some things that just set him off. If you say anything bad about his family, Elrond will throw down. He’s pretty unstoppable too. People have learned to duck under tables when he gets a particular look on his face.
Gil-galad – He has people to do the fighting for him now. On the rare occasion someone doesn’t know who he is and tries to cause trouble, they’ll be pummelled to the ground by three bodyguards before Gil-galad has finished his whiskey.
Celebrimbor – He’s a gentleman and he doesn’t start fights, but he also has a temper and he won’t back down. If you stepped on his toe and tried to blame him for it, you’d be in for a bad time. He looks unassuming but dude works in the smithy all day - you just know one punch from him would knock you into the middle of next week.
Cirdan – Fighting is a young elf’s game and Cirdan mostly stays out of it. If you tried to start trouble with him, Cirdan would somehow arrange matters so that you injured yourself trying to fight him. Then he would shake his head at you disapprovingly while you were picking yourself up off the ground and somehow make you feel ashamed of yourself.
Arondir – He will give you two chances to back off when he tells you to. Then he will make your life a living hell for several excruciating minutes and not feel an ounce of guilt about it. He owes several bars compensation for the arrow holes he has put in their walls.
Camnir – Baby boy would never start a fight and wouldn’t know what to do when he’s in one, but that doesn’t matter because if anyone tried to pick on him, they’ll have to deal with several very possessive, very mean Elves. As a result, people are generally friendly to Camnir despite his wide-eyed innocence, so he thinks bars are the nicest places in the world.
Durin IV – See, Durin looks like trouble and has in fact been kicked out of bars for instigating a fight even though he was in the toilet the whole time, but actually he’s usually the one talking people down from doing something stupid. He has a low tolerance for bullshit though, particularly after several beers, and he will absolutely break a pool cue over someone’s head if he thinks they’re being moronic. Or if they messed with Disa. Or if Elrond asks for backup. Okay, maybe he does get in a few fights...
Disa – People don’t really bother Disa because they like and respect her so much (and they’re scared of Durin), but if some idiot does decide to push their luck, she’ll be twisting their balls in one hand in a second, and they’ll be grovelling on their knees before Durin even gets the pool cue off the wall.
King Durin III – In his younger days, King Durin was well known as a troublemaker and even today the older bar owners will find themselves reaching for the panic button when he walks through the door. But he professes those days are behind him, apart from that one time someone cut the queue and he had to break all their fingers. But that was one time, you know? He’s totally retired now.
Narvi – Like most Dwarves, he considers a good bar fight as a kind of therapy. He’d happily throw punches all day and then go off with his victims to get a kebab when the bar closes. There’s no malice in anything he does and if you land a punch on him, well done you!
Theo – He is absolutely the type to get into some stupid argument with someone and refuse to back down even if it’s clear it’s not going to end well. He couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag and always gets the crap beaten out of him. You’d think after the first twenty times, he would learn his lesson. He doesn’t.
Estrid – She’s pretty chill until she feels threatened. If some creep tries to come onto her, she will react like a cornered animal and go for the eyes. She’s pretty proud of some of the injuries she’s caused in the past.
Isildur – He really doesn’t want to get in any more fights, the police have come round his dad’s house far too many times, and yet somehow he is always dragged into them by his friends or Estrid. He seems to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to explain his actions to authorities. He’s pretty scrappy when he’s in a fight though, and you won’t soon forget it.
Elendil – Dude has the same calm demeanour as Gil-galad when it comes to trouble but none of the backup. People always seem to want a pick a fight with him. When he can’t talk them out of it, he will fight, but he will incapacitate them with minimal damage to their person or the surroundings. The man definitely knows several types of martial arts.
Miriel – She will ignore trouble for as long as she can (usually caused by creeps trying to hit on her or idiots who don’t realise she can’t see), and then when she has reached her limit, she will drain her drink and smash the glass over the person’s head without a single word. She’s known as ‘Glassbreaker’ in several bars, and people love and fear her.
Earien – What she lacks in strength and size, she makes up for in spirit. She has quite a high tolerance for bullshit and will usually just argue with someone all night without resorting to violence, but if you’ve truly pissed her off, she will be on you before you know what’s happening. People who have seen her like that flinch whenever she makes any sudden movements.
Valandil – The king of getting involved in others problems and somehow always getting the worst of it. He’ll be the one going to A&E even though he didn’t exchange more than two sentences with his attacker.
Pharazon – He will sit around loudly debating politics and espousing his horrible views about the world until someone finally gets fed up and punches him in the face. Somehow he’s always surprised by it every time.
Kemen – Kemen once walked into a bar and twenty minutes later it was on the news as the location of one of the worst fights in history. He never stepped foot in another bar again.
Nori and Poppy – They will definitely unintentionally cause some kind of accident (they dropped a drink and someone slipped, they stood on a toe or two) and end up in the middle of a scuffle. They’re pretty good at getting a few well aimed punches in and then running for cover before things get too serious. Most of the time people have no idea what hit them.
The Stranger – This guy always ends up getting the wrong end of the stick and unintentionally insulting the person he’s talking to. Then when the inevitable fight ensues, he will win by accidentally tipping over something that knocks the person unconscious. People soon learn to give him a wide berth – not because he’s dangerous but because danger just seems to hang around him.
Tom Bombadil – Was he even at the bar? You were sure you saw him a second ago. Yet now there’s nothing beside you but an empty chair, several coins on the table and the faint smell of oranges and sheep dung in the air.
Adar – He likes to pretend he’s too old for such nonsense but in reality it really doesn’t take much to set him off. Insult his children one time, and he’s on his feet. He will always win a fight, and in the most efficient yet unnecessarily brutal manner. No one comes back for a second round and they always learn their lesson.
Sauron – Sauron doesn’t start fights, Sauron manipulates others into starting fights and then sits back and watches while drinking a fruity cocktail with a paper umbrella in it. 🍹
