An anon asked:

For the character meme: Ancalimë

Another fave!

1. Sexuality Headcanon: gayyyy

2. OTP: Ancalimë/the throne

3. BROTP: I’m really intrigued by Ancalimë’s relationships with both her parents, but I wouldn’t call those BROTPs.

4. NOTP: Ancalimë/her husband, but I’m pretty sure it’s also Ancalimë’s NOTP, so

5. First headcanon that pops into my head: Hmmm, I don’t have a lot. I do imagine that her neglect of Aldarion’s policies led to some restoration of the forests and land in Númenórean colonies over her reign (and that this pleased her in a remote way).

6. Favorite line from this character: there are more lines about her than from her, and of those, I love this one: But she did not refuse the Heirship, and determined that when her day came she would be a powerful Ruling Queen; and when so, to live where and how she pleased. :D

7. One way in which I relate to this character: I reallyyyy hate being pressured and cornered into things.

8. Thing that gives me second-hand embarrassment about this character: nothing, really, though terrorizing her granddaughters into refusing the Heirship is really weird.

9. Cinnamon roll or problematic fave: Mm, definitely not a cinnamon roll, but I don’t think she’s more problematic than Númenóreans generally (and certainly less so than Aldarion). I’ll go with neither.
