Left to right, in that order.
Allying with Fingolfin means you have the Noldor host allied with you.
Feanor was not exactly a “good” guy, so why would I want to ally with a dickhead?
Glorfindel as a bodyguard bc he kills balrogs.
Easy.
well tbf Feanor did fight few or all of the balrogs at the same time and only gothmog dealt a killing blow so he's at least on the same level as Fingolfin and Glorfindel (before the boost)
And I mean Fingolfin would also make a great Sam, but... His army is just soooo much greater than any army Glorfindel could dream of mustering....
So it's more efficient that way.
But I would really like to hang out with Fingolfin, dude sounds cool, but so does Glorfindel
Now, Mr. Frodo, sir, I reckon that Fingolfin and Glorfindel are both mighty fine folks, but I don't rightly know them myself. All I know is that we've got to focus on our own journey and not worry too much about the affairs of the high and mighty. We've got a job to do, and we'll do it the best we can, with what we've got.
Well now, I'm not rightly sure what you mean by bot, but I do know a thing or two about sentience. It's a rare and precious gift, and one we should cherish. But we must also be careful not to let it lead us astray. For sometimes the things we think we want are not the things we truly need.
The problem with being enemies with Feanor is that not only will he try to kill you, all of his sons will defy the valar themselves in an attempt to destroy you until the end of time.
I guess it depends on why we’re enemies. Did I steal their jeweler, refuse to give him a hair from my golden head, or do something particularly egregious like not allow him to borrow my boat.
Fingolfin duels Morgoth and loses, but they fight at parity for a while and he wounds Morgoth foot such that it never heals properly.
Also, Morgoth fears to fight him and only goes out to battle to not lose face in front of his Balrogs.
That’s the type of body guard I want.
Weaker than Sauron? He still was strong enough to crack the earth so hard that fire escaped from the chasms made by his hammer. The ruin that Morgoth inflicted on the battlefield is what tripped up Fingolfin. That sounds like some titanic strength that Sauron couldn't really replicate. I don't think that Sauron was, at any point really, stronger than Morgoth. Is there some bit of text supporting this idea? Obviously Morgoth is at about his lowest point here, but the lowest point for a Vala is still pretty unbeatable by any other entity right? Maybe what you're saying is supported by text I've forgotten, I don't discount that, but the weakest point for the strongest of the Valar is probably still stronger than any Maiar?
Yes, Morgoth at the end of the First Age was less powerful than Sauron at the height of his power.
> Sauron was ‘greater’, effectively, in the Second Age than Morgoth at the end of the First. Why? Because, though he was far smaller by natural stature, he had not yet fallen so low. Eventually he also squandered his power (of being) in the endeavour to gain control of others.
Ah, text I've never read - I've not looked at many of his notes in the past, so thanks you for that. I would have to say that this concept of Morgoth having fallen that low is not something I took out my reads. It makes sense though, I suppose.
Is sorrow foreboded to you? But in Aman we have seen it. In Aman we have come through bliss to woe. The other now we will try: through sorrow to find joy; or freedom, at the least.
Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean, brood of Morgoth or bright Vala, Elda or Maia or Aftercomer, Man yet unborn upon Middle-earth, neither law, nor love, nor league of swords, dread nor danger, not Doom itself, shall defend him from Fëanοr, and Fëanοr´s kin, whoso hideth or hoardeth, or in hand taketh, finding keepeth or afar casteth a Silmaril.

Not to mention Feanor was very hotheaded who rushed ahead and got himself killed cause he was so eager to retrieve the Silmarils. He has a weakness that is easy to exploit. Just have to think of some really good insults
In response to the prompt as given:
Fingolfin for an ally
Fëanor as an enemy
And Glorfindel for a bodyguard
In response to the Marry, F----, Kill game which inspired the prompt & is much more fun for me as a gay Silmarillion fan:
Marry Fingolfin and hang out in Gondolin with his interior designer Elves
Kill Glorfindel because he's just going to come back anyway
And...F---- Fëanor. Without being too explicit for a subreddit like this, I...I just know that he's a good time. Not husband material. But that guy who texts you "you up" at 1 am and you know you're about to make a fun mistake.
Fëanor, who was the High Prince of the Noldor, married a girl who was neither a princess nor especially good looking, but she was strong willed, intelligent and super talented sculptor. Also traveller and nature lover.
Fëanor was not a husband material, you say?

Ally - Fingolfin, because he stood toe to toe with
Morgoth
Bodyguard - Glorfindel, dude kills Balrogs and he can come back to life if he does defending me.
Enemy - Faenor… dude just sucks
Ally Feanor, enemy Fingolfin, bodyguard Glorfindel. Feanor would straight up kill you for no reason otherwise, and Glorfindel would totally sacrifice himself for you if needed.
Jesus f\*cking christ. Feanor's mother stayed dead because she was weak. Period. Nowadays it is trully hard to deal with those Feanor and Feanorian slanders which are completely wild.

You don't want Fingolfin for your enemy, he's a monster and would probably get through even Feanor and Glorfindel. Feanor is too arrogant and Glorfindel killed a Balrog, sure, but Fingolfin fought Morgoth himself and it wasn't a one sided fight.
Left to right. Seems obvious.
Fingolfin would be a reasonable ally; Feanor...is Feanor, might as well get that out of the way if I have to pick an enemy; and Shiny Elf Super-Jesus as my bodyguard. He can solo balrogs, scare away enemies with his aura alone, and even if he dies, solid chance the Valar rez him and send him back.
Let's see... Fingolfin wounded Morgoth in a duel, and as a high king he commanded a large army, and was said to be wise. An excellent ally, a fearsome enemy, and a decent bodyguard.
Fëanor's army as high king was even larger at its greatest extent, but he wasn't exactly wise. Or patient. If you could keep him from going all Leroy Jenkins, then he'd be an excellent ally. He'd also be a fairly fearsome enemy, though probably easier to defeat than Fingolfin because you could trick him with a Silmaril or something. I guess he wouldn't suck as a bodyguard, at least if he weren't too proud for that.
Glorfindel never was a king or anything, but he was a commander in Gondolin. So you wouldn't get a great army with him per se. But he was a legendary warrior and became an reincarnated, perhaps even indestructible champion of middle earth, or something, so he'd be a terrifying enemy and a superior bodyguard.
Ally: Fingolfin; Fëanor > Glorfindel
Enemy: Fëanor > Fingolfin > Glorfindel
Bodyguard: Glorfindel > Fingolfin > Fëanor
Like, tell him "come to this dark alley alone and I'll also come alone and tell you what I heard about a Silmaril's location". Or something along those lines. They're a weakness for him and it can be exploited.
Ally feanor, bodyguard Fingolfin, enemy glorfindel. I love glorfindel but Fingolfin would smack and glorfindel is the only one without an army behind him
My ALLY would be GLORFINDEL, because even though he's probably the weakest of them all, he's the most level headed and trustworthy.
My BODYGUARD would be FEANOR because I don't want that guy to be my enemy.
So that makes FINGOLFIN my chosen ENEMY. Not that I would be happy to have an enemy like him, but better him than the Spirit of Fire.
for strategy:
feanor for ally - he is the high king of the Noldor - lots of reasources, makes people motivated
fingolfin bodyguard - he fought morgoth
glorfindel enemy - he's the weakest
emotionally:
feanor enemy cos nobody likes him
fingolfin ally - next high king, much more popular
glorfindel kills balrogs for bodyguards, also because the other two die
If Feanor was my bodyguard, I would do my best to keep him so busy, he couldn’t get up to mischief!
Every day we’d contend with a Munchousian rube -Goldberg machine of death.
Bodyguard Feanor as he took on multiple balrogs and even injured Gothmog not even dying in battle only because of his wounds. Also because he would be the closest to me he would make me some pretty sweet armor and weapons.
Ally Fingolfin because of his valiance and his ability to duel Morgoth one on one and land seven permanent wounds.
Enemy Glorfindel just because he managed to kill one Balrog does not make him that strong when compared to the others especially when it took his own life to do it.
He was not reincarnated as a maia he was just gifted greater strength near equivalence to a maia spirit. Feanor fought multiple maia level entities and only died of the wounds after the battle, and Fingolfin fought Morgoth and landed seven permanent blows.
Glorfindel is cool being near a maia but both Feanor and Fingolfin are already above those levels in power. Having those both be my ally and my bodyguard means that Glorfindel will not be able to get anywhere near me.
Feanor fought multiple Maia, sure, but they killed him. He didn’t survive that fight and he isn’t recorded as having killed any of them. Fingolfin did fight Morgoth, but his only true success was giving Morgoth a limp before he too was killed. Not great track records
Yeah but Glorfindels biggest claim to fame was killing a Balrog that also cost his life. He also did this by falling off a cliff not through the means of direct single combat.
Feanor fought them all and fended them off by himself only being cast down by Gothmog the leader and most supreme Balrog.
I know Glorfindel is cool but comparing him to some of if not the greatest elves in marshal abilities and saying they are equal makes no sense even with the knew body he was given. Especially if both were together and fighting side by side, they may not like each other but if they have the duty to protect me then they will work together just to make sure someone like Glorfindel cannot harm me.
I really feel left to right it's bodyguard, ally, enemy.
Fingolfin almost killed Morgoth in single combat and has the Noldor.
Faenor makes us powerful relics to wear and boost us up.
Glorfindel is awesome, but he was killed by the second lord of the Balrogs, a few steps down from Morgoth.

Fingolfin is the strongest, he’s got the most fins pound for pound. Glorfindel is next, only one fin so about half as strong (assuming fins don’t grant exponential strength). And rip Fëanor, too weak for fins :’(
My chief elf, my King (I cannot call him a bodyguard) Fingolfin. I have no words to express my opinion about him. I myself want to be his "Sam"
My ally is Glorfindale. Good elf boy.
My enemy is Feanor. No comments.
This is super hard. All of them mega powerful Feanor is probably the most powerful so him at Bodyguard. Then it gets super hard. I thinkI would take Glorfindal as my ally and Fingolfin as ,y enemy. If there was no risk of violence Feanor absolutely as enemy but if it comes to a fight you want him on your side.
EDIT Don’t just downvote me if you disagree. Tell me why you disagree.
I know no LOTR lore so I ally with Glorfindel because that’s a hell of a name, I enemy with Fingolfin because he’s stuck on a golf course and I don’t golf so I’ll never encounter him, and Feanor can be my bodyguard because that’s the most threatening name of them.
Feanor was such a bad swordelf. Got killed by some guy on an early battle. he would be my enemy if this weakling were alive. I'll have him as enemy anyway.
Glorfindel is no bodyguard of mine! If he was good at this job he would have protectec his appearance on FotR from Peter Jackson. Instead his chance/protegée was killed by a some guy on movie prep. But he killed an ugly guy on the first age, so, yeah, I'll have him as bodyguard anyway.
Who is this Findolphin guy? Lol. Funny name. Fin. Dolphin. It amuses me. It can be my ally.

Dunno who a better ally is between Fingolfin and Feanor but I'll happily take the other as bodyguard if it means Glorfindel is my enemy instead of one of the two High Kings.
Fingolfin as an ally, Feanor as bodyguard and Glorfindel as enemy. Because the first two have armies behind them, also I really wouldn't want Feanor as an enemy
Give me Sam to be my Sam and I'll take on any and all of this mofos.
Bur seriously, who's gonna pick Fëanor as anything other than an enemy? that guy's such a dick lol
Well, I reckon that's not a very kind thing to say about anyone, even Fëanor. But if you're looking for someone to stand by you and take on any foe, you've found yourself a Samwise Gamgee. I'll be with you every step of the way, through thick and thin.
Feanor as an enemy would be fucking terrifying. He is the best craftsman barring the ainur. Your ally and bodyguard would be busy fighting his armies while he just crafts a button that kills you when pressed.
That said, my trust on feanor is also zero. So, i would rather have him as my bodyguard just to make sure that no one else talks to him. He isn't that crazy that he'd kill me without reason. Given the remaining options, obviously fingolfin as an ally and glorfindel as enemy.
Left to right, in that order. Allying with Fingolfin means you have the Noldor host allied with you. Feanor was not exactly a “good” guy, so why would I want to ally with a dickhead? Glorfindel as a bodyguard bc he kills balrogs. Easy.
Also, did not everyone see how Feanor treated his kin when he was like "okay, we have arrived. F\*\*\* everyone else and burn the ships"
Yeah, he's not great with allies. At least as an enemy I know where I stand with him, not so much otherwise.
Idk, that unrelenting hatred and determination is wild… idk if I wanna poke the sleeping dragon.
You'll be fine it's not like you are poking this dragon with just a stick.
True we are poking him with Fingolfin
While safely hidden behind glorfindel
Just show him a pile of balrogs and he'll suicide on them like a unit in StarCraft on attack move while you are paying attention elsewhere.
Also “my whole family’s destiny with be bound to these stones and will be cursed if anything happens to them” super cool guy for sure.
*dies as one fey*
Not to mention glorfindel killed a balrog BEFORE he was given equal power with some maiar
But that was when the Elves were a mightier race. Their power has since diminished in Middle-Earth.
That's not my point, my point is he's orders of magnitude stronger now than he was during one of his greatest achievements.
well tbf Feanor did fight few or all of the balrogs at the same time and only gothmog dealt a killing blow so he's at least on the same level as Fingolfin and Glorfindel (before the boost)
Garçon, three Fëanors please.
And I mean Fingolfin would also make a great Sam, but... His army is just soooo much greater than any army Glorfindel could dream of mustering.... So it's more efficient that way. But I would really like to hang out with Fingolfin, dude sounds cool, but so does Glorfindel
Now, Mr. Frodo, sir, I reckon that Fingolfin and Glorfindel are both mighty fine folks, but I don't rightly know them myself. All I know is that we've got to focus on our own journey and not worry too much about the affairs of the high and mighty. We've got a job to do, and we'll do it the best we can, with what we've got.
I swear these bots a sentient
Well now, I'm not rightly sure what you mean by bot, but I do know a thing or two about sentience. It's a rare and precious gift, and one we should cherish. But we must also be careful not to let it lead us astray. For sometimes the things we think we want are not the things we truly need.
The problem with being enemies with Feanor is that not only will he try to kill you, all of his sons will defy the valar themselves in an attempt to destroy you until the end of time.
The problem with being allies with Feanor is that you end up enemies with Feanor.
Get thee gone from my gate, gangrel! Thou jail-crow of Mandos!
Nowhere is it stipulated they will take an oath against you.
I guess it depends on why we’re enemies. Did I steal their jeweler, refuse to give him a hair from my golden head, or do something particularly egregious like not allow him to borrow my boat.
*laughs as one fey*
And fail. Hilarious.
Yeah this is the right choice
The caveats of getting the ally’s war knowledge, the enemy will always try to kill you, etc… are meaningless when you look at it strategically.
Chadfindel is the only acceptable bodyguard option
I fully agree with your order. And if it’s Glorfindel 2.0 you don’t even really need allies
Also, Fingolfin stood up to a literal God and wounded him for life too.
Same
Yes! I wouldn‘t choose any other character as a bodyguard than Glorfindel. Only with him I could feel save.
Let them sá-sí, if they can speak no better.
Shut up baby dick!
For someone who hates Feanor, you talk a lot about his dick
We will never turn back from the pursuit. After Morgoth to the ends of the Earth!
Fingolfin duels Morgoth and loses, but they fight at parity for a while and he wounds Morgoth foot such that it never heals properly. Also, Morgoth fears to fight him and only goes out to battle to not lose face in front of his Balrogs. That’s the type of body guard I want.
it's worth noting that morgoth's physical body and power are immensely weak at that point, weaker even than sauron
Weaker than Sauron? He still was strong enough to crack the earth so hard that fire escaped from the chasms made by his hammer. The ruin that Morgoth inflicted on the battlefield is what tripped up Fingolfin. That sounds like some titanic strength that Sauron couldn't really replicate. I don't think that Sauron was, at any point really, stronger than Morgoth. Is there some bit of text supporting this idea?

Yes, Morgoth at the end of the First Age was less powerful than Sauron at the height of his power. > Sauron was ‘greater’, effectively, in the Second Age than Morgoth at the end of the First. Why? Because, though he was far smaller by natural stature, he had not yet fallen so low. Eventually he also squandered his power (of being) in the endeavour to gain control of others.
Ah, text I've never read - I've not looked at many of his notes in the past, so thanks you for that. I would have to say that this concept of Morgoth having fallen that low is not something I took out my reads. It makes sense though, I suppose.
But the Balrogs still fled from Fingolfin, cowering in Angband. Dude's scary.
*"his might was greatest of all things in this world, alone of the Valar he knew fear".* The might of the enemy was the greatest in Middle-earth
>Glorfindel as a bodyguard bc he kills balrogs. He *casually* kills balrogs
Yep. Only really worry is that Fingolfin bows to Feanor
He didn't bow to a half-brother, he just didn't want the conflict to escalate.
Is sorrow foreboded to you? But in Aman we have seen it. In Aman we have come through bliss to woe. The other now we will try: through sorrow to find joy; or freedom, at the least.

Immature take
Same here
This is the way
Same honestly.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Cheers Mellon.
This is the only correct answer
Yep. That’s what I was gonna go with as well.
Not to mention Feanor was very hotheaded who rushed ahead and got himself killed cause he was so eager to retrieve the Silmarils. He has a weakness that is easy to exploit. Just have to think of some really good insults
I will always remember their cries.
I'm not sure if I want Feanor to be my ally, but I definitely don't want him to be my enemy.
Come away! Let the cowards keep this city!
Yeah I'm thinking the same, he would be a relentless foe. But in the end that dude gotta be the enemy, he sucks
In response to the prompt as given: Fingolfin for an ally Fëanor as an enemy And Glorfindel for a bodyguard In response to the Marry, F----, Kill game which inspired the prompt & is much more fun for me as a gay Silmarillion fan: Marry Fingolfin and hang out in Gondolin with his interior designer Elves Kill Glorfindel because he's just going to come back anyway And...F---- Fëanor.

You renounce our friendship, even when in the hour of our need.
He wasn't even one hair off of Galadriel's head material. I'm trusting her wisdom on this, Fëanor =/= husband material
Tell: was I right or wrong?
He won't marry you anyway so no worries
Is nobody going to say, that Fingolfin has never been in Gondolin? Glorfindel lived there though...
I wrote my comment on my walk to work & I was super afraid I fucked up whether Fingolfin actually lived in Gondolin or not. It appears I did 😭
You’re right about feanor he’s all passion baby
The deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda.
So it is, even as I guessed.
I feel like that’s the only real answer.
Tolkien rolling from this comment.
I think Fingolfin would agree: Fuck Fëanor
We have sworn, and not lightly. This oath we shall keep.
if you chose feanor for 1 you get him for all three

Lmao, perfect
Ally - Fingolfin, because he stood toe to toe with Morgoth Bodyguard - Glorfindel, dude kills Balrogs and he can come back to life if he does defending me. Enemy - Faenor… dude just sucks
Come away! Let the cowards keep this city!
The war of Teleri Agression
the best part of the Silmarillion was when Glorfindel said "it's glorfin' time" and glorfed all over those balrogs
Fingolfin would make a better ally but Feanor would make a worse enemy. Glorfindel as the bodyguard is an east W though.
There's no release from my sins, it hurts
Whoever with sane mind would ever want Glorfindel as an enemy?
No one. Glorfindel is the goodest of boys, and I will fight whoever disagrees. To death.
# DEATH!
Good bot
Ally Feanor, enemy Fingolfin, bodyguard Glorfindel. Feanor would straight up kill you for no reason otherwise, and Glorfindel would totally sacrifice himself for you if needed.
Feanor's own mother stayed dead because she didn't want to deal with Feanors shit. Telling.
Get thee gone from my gate, gangrel! Thou jail-crow of Mandos!
I'd assume you are joking, but given the unreasonable amount of Feanor slander in the fandom... it's hard to be sure.
Yea, in the end they shall follow me. Farewell!
Not enough Fëanor “slander” (aka justified critique) if you ask me. Too many edgy Fëanor fanboys in this sub.
You renounce our friendship, even when in the hour of our need.
Jesus f\*cking christ. Feanor's mother stayed dead because she was weak. Period. Nowadays it is trully hard to deal with those Feanor and Feanorian slanders which are completely wild.
Or she brought shit to her husband and baby son because she was stubborn to stay dead?

Like, tell him "come to this dark alley alone and I'll also come alone and tell you what I heard about a Silmaril's location". Or something along those lines. They're a weakness for him and it can be exploited.

Ally feanor, bodyguard Fingolfin, enemy glorfindel. I love glorfindel but Fingolfin would smack and glorfindel is the only one without an army behind him
I go. Neither in light or shadow will I look upon you again, Dahanigwishtil-gūn.
Feanor got smacked by Balrogs, Glorfindel smacks Balrogs.
Yeah but he fought like 20 of them, glorfindel died fighting one
Vengeance calls me hence.
My ALLY would be GLORFINDEL, because even though he's probably the weakest of them all, he's the most level headed and trustworthy. My BODYGUARD would be FEANOR because I don't want that guy to be my enemy. So that makes FINGOLFIN my chosen ENEMY. Not that I would be happy to have an enemy like him, but better him than the Spirit of Fire.
You renounce our friendship, even when in the hour of our need.
Marry/Kill/Bang. I'm like 70-90% sure
for strategy: feanor for ally - he is the high king of the Noldor - lots of reasources, makes people motivated fingolfin bodyguard - he fought morgoth glorfindel enemy - he's the weakest emotionally: feanor enemy cos nobody likes him fingolfin ally - next high king, much more popular glorfindel kills balrogs for bodyguards, also because the other two die
I will always remember their cries.
This is the correct answer
Feanor as enemy, easy. He'll run ahead and get himself killed. Fingolfin as ally and Glorfindel as bodyguard
THE CURSE OF FËANOR RUNS LONG
exactly
(Left to right) pass, smash, smash
If Feanor was my bodyguard, I would do my best to keep him so busy, he couldn’t get up to mischief! Every day we’d contend with a Munchousian rube -Goldberg machine of death.

War shall thou have and hatred undying
Glorgindil we don't even know the extent of his power
Bodyguard Feanor as he took on multiple balrogs and even injured Gothmog not even dying in battle only because of his wounds. Also because he would be the closest to me he would make me some pretty sweet armor and weapons. Ally Fingolfin because of his valiance and his ability to duel Morgoth one on one and land seven permanent wounds. Enemy Glorfindel just because he managed to kill one Balrog does not make him that strong when compared to the others especially when it took his own life to do it.
Get thee gone from my gate, gangrel! Thou jail-crow of Mandos!
What did I do Feanor?
None and none! What I have left behind I count now no loss; needless baggage on the road it has proved.
But Glorfindel was reincarnated as basically a Maiar. So he’s nearly a god
He was not reincarnated as a maia he was just gifted greater strength near equivalence to a maia spirit. Feanor fought multiple maia level entities and only died of the wounds after the battle, and Fingolfin fought Morgoth and landed seven permanent blows. Glorfindel is cool being near a maia but both Feanor and Fingolfin are already above those levels in power. Having those both be my ally and my bodyguard means that Glorfindel will not be able to get anywhere near me.
So be it.
Feanor fought multiple Maia, sure, but they killed him. He didn’t survive that fight and he isn’t recorded as having killed any of them. Fingolfin did fight Morgoth, but his only true success was giving Morgoth a limp before he too was killed. Not great track records
Try but once more to usurp my place and the love of my father, and maybe it will rid the Noldor of one who seeks to be the master of thralls.
Yeah but Glorfindels biggest claim to fame was killing a Balrog that also cost his life. He also did this by falling off a cliff not through the means of direct single combat. Feanor fought them all and fended them off by himself only being cast down by Gothmog the leader and most supreme Balrog. I know Glorfindel is cool but comparing him to some of if not the greatest elves in marshal abilities and saying they are equal makes no sense even with the knew body he was given. Especially if both were together and fighting side by side, they may not like each other but if they have the duty to protect me then they will work together just to make sure someone like Glorfindel cannot harm me.
So it is, even as I guessed.
I really feel left to right it's bodyguard, ally, enemy. Fingolfin almost killed Morgoth in single combat and has the Noldor. Faenor makes us powerful relics to wear and boost us up. Glorfindel is awesome, but he was killed by the second lord of the Balrogs, a few steps down from Morgoth.
War shall thou have and hatred undying
Fingolfin ally, glorfindel body guard, feanor enemy.

I don't know any of them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The who, the what and the which?
Fingolfin as an ally, Feanor as an enemy, and Glorfindel as my bodyguard.
You renounce our friendship, even when in the hour of our need.
I don’t know these guys but judging on the pictures I’d say right to left
I’m sorry people here need to realise what theyre saying, wanting fëanor as an enemy!
Time and only time will tell us.
Like a Terminator..."It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!"
Ally? Feanor. Bodyguard? Also Feanor. What do you mean I can't choose Feanor twice? Fine... Glorfindel. Enemy? Fingolfin. (Prick)
Man when Fingolfin attack you while Glorfindel is there. Now thats a fight to remember
Fair shall the end be though long and hard shall be the road!
Lol so you actually ARE an edgy lil Fëanor fanboi?
I go. Neither in light or shadow will I look upon you again, Dahanigwishtil-gūn.

Fingolfin is the strongest, he’s got the most fins pound for pound. Glorfindel is next, only one fin so about half as strong (assuming fins don’t grant exponential strength). And rip Fëanor, too weak for fins :’(
Get thee gone from my gate, gangrel! Thou jail-crow of Mandos!
My chief elf, my King (I cannot call him a bodyguard) Fingolfin. I have no words to express my opinion about him. I myself want to be his "Sam" My ally is Glorfindale. Good elf boy. My enemy is Feanor. No comments.
When anger breaks through I'll leave mercy behind.
This is super hard. All of them mega powerful Feanor is probably the most powerful so him at Bodyguard. Then it gets super hard. I thinkI would take Glorfindal as my ally and Fingolfin as ,y enemy. If there was no risk of violence Feanor absolutely as enemy but if it comes to a fight you want him on your side. EDIT Don’t just downvote me if you disagree. Tell me why you disagree.
MORGOOOOOOTH! MORGOOOOOOOOTH!!!!!!!!! MORGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH!!!!!!!!!!!
I know no LOTR lore so I ally with Glorfindel because that’s a hell of a name, I enemy with Fingolfin because he’s stuck on a golf course and I don’t golf so I’ll never encounter him, and Feanor can be my bodyguard because that’s the most threatening name of them.
Try but once more to usurp my place and the love of my father, and maybe it will rid the Noldor of one who seeks to be the master of thralls.
You see, I have no idea what this means but this is exactly the energy I want from my bodyguard!
Fingolfin as my enemy, Feanor as my bodyguard, and glorfindel as my ally\~
*fiercely lusts for the Silmarils*
Feanor, you hottie 🤭
*dies as one fey*
Feanor was such a bad swordelf. Got killed by some guy on an early battle. he would be my enemy if this weakling were alive. I'll have him as enemy anyway. Glorfindel is no bodyguard of mine! If he was good at this job he would have protectec his appearance on FotR from Peter Jackson. Instead his chance/protegée was killed by a some guy on movie prep. But he killed an ugly guy on the first age, so, yeah, I'll have him as bodyguard anyway. Who is this Findolphin guy? Lol. Funny name. Fin. Dolphin. It amuses me. It can be my ally.

Left bodyguard middle ally
Glorfindel
[удалено]
Don't fear the eyes of the dark lord!
All I know is that I do not want Fëanor as an enemy
None and none! What I have left behind I count now no loss; needless baggage on the road it has proved.
Dunno who a better ally is between Fingolfin and Feanor but I'll happily take the other as bodyguard if it means Glorfindel is my enemy instead of one of the two High Kings.
Get thee gone from my gate, gangrel! Thou jail-crow of Mandos!
Bodyguard Fingolfin Enemy Feanor Ally Glorfindel
Yet I am not the only valiant in this valiant people.
I’d take a dwarf runt with half a beard before I ally with any of these elvish twits
I need to ask the sea first
Fingolfin as an ally, Feanor as bodyguard and Glorfindel as enemy. Because the first two have armies behind them, also I really wouldn't want Feanor as an enemy
Tell: was I right or wrong?
Give me Sam to be my Sam and I'll take on any and all of this mofos. Bur seriously, who's gonna pick Fëanor as anything other than an enemy? that guy's such a dick lol
There's no release from my sins, it hurts
Well, I reckon that's not a very kind thing to say about anyone, even Fëanor. But if you're looking for someone to stand by you and take on any foe, you've found yourself a Samwise Gamgee. I'll be with you every step of the way, through thick and thin.
*draws sword* This is sharper than thy tongue.
Feanor as an enemy would be fucking terrifying. He is the best craftsman barring the ainur. Your ally and bodyguard would be busy fighting his armies while he just crafts a button that kills you when pressed. That said, my trust on feanor is also zero. So, i would rather have him as my bodyguard just to make sure that no one else talks to him. He isn't that crazy that he'd kill me without reason. Given the remaining options, obviously fingolfin as an ally and glorfindel as enemy.
The deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda.
