Golden Hairs

This is the first post from Random LotR Fact That Popped Into My Head This Morning. It concerns two of my favourite characters: Gimli and Galadriel.

Most of you likely know the story of Galadriel’s gift to Gimli; he asked for a golden hair of hers, she gave him three. That’s all good, but what most of you don’t know, is that Feanor asked her for the exact same gift, three times, and she rejected him three times. So just to spite him, she gave Gimli 3. I can just imagine the ghost of Feanor absolutely freaking out when he heard this :D. Oh, and Social Media exists in Arda: after the third rejection, Unfinished Tales even says, ‘They were un-friends forever.’ My guess is she blocked him first.
