How Gimli got to stay in Valinor

Manwë: Dwarves do not belong in Valinor. We need to get him back to Middle Earth.

Aulë: *wraps arms around Gimli protectively* Oh yeah? Good luck finishing the street lights for Valmar by yourself. Also, I hope you know how to make yourself a new diadem. Generally good luck with all metalwork, cause I’m out of here.

Manwë: I’ll hire Elven smiths *looks at Elven smiths*

Mahtan: Don’t look at me, I’m with Aulë.

Fëanor: Are you fucking serious right now Manwë

Nerdanel: You made the little guy upset, go away.

Curufin: Lol bye.

Celebrimbor: Sorry, I don’t speak Dwarf haterish.

Rog: What are you gonna do? Enslave me like your brother did?

Eöl: I don’t take commissions. I forge hatred.

Manwë: …

Manwë: Fine. The Dwarf is staying.

Manwë: Also smiths are bitches.

Eol’s line killed me 😂😂😂

In Return of the King Pippin says he’s known of Gandalf for years but didn’t actually know him pre-quest and I like to imagine the same applying in reverse. 

Gandalf never met Pippin pre-quest but he knew who Pippin was bcos his reputation preceded him. Every time Gandalf passed through the Shire ppl would be like ‘you’ll never guess what the Thain’s son’s gone and done this week’ and he was like ‘fascinating tell me more’

& then when Pippin showed up in Rivendell w Frodo he was like ‘YOU!!!’

You know what I just realized?

It never says that
Ingwë,
Finwë and Elwë

were leaders before Oromë

took them to Valinor.

“Therefore Oromë was sent again to
them, and he chose from among them ambassadors who should go to Valinor
and speak for their people; and these were Ingwë,
Finwë and Elwë, who afterwards were kings.”
Of the Coming of the Elves and the Captivity of Melkor, the Silmarillion

That’s our introduction to them.  The Vanyar, Noldor, and Teleri are described as the “kindred” of 
Ingwë,
Finwë and Elwë

respectively, not their subjects.  They certainly led those who undertook the Great Journey, but there’s no reason to believe they were the chieftains beforehand.

Why then were they the ones chosen as ambassadors? Because everyone else was terrified, and they were the only ones willing to follow the incredibly dangerous strange being, each for their own reason.

Ingwë

went because he saw the light of Aman reflected in
Oromë’s face, and wished to see the light in truth. He recognized the light as Good and Holy, and knew that the Valar would not harm him.

Finwë went in search of knowledge. Here was a being unlike any other known to elves, from a place likewise completely unknown.
Oromë claimed that the Valar would share knowledge with them, but even if that turned out to be false, there would still be much to discover.

Elwe went because he has a huge xeno kink. The presence of actual non-elf sapient beings, that unlike orcs wouldn’t try to kill him, meant that he had to check out Aman.

Fëanor: One day, I will kill you, brother.

Fingolfin: Melkor, stop shapeshifting and messing with my family.

Melkor: Shit! How did you know??

Fingolfin: A, the real Fëanor would say “half-brother.” B, the real Fëanor wears better jewelry. C, it’s weekday morning. Unlike you dumbass, Fëanor actually has a job.
