Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

197. Nolofinweans - Elves Reacting to Your Period

Fingolfin

Fingolfin has somewhat of an idea about what menstruation is, being King in Beleriand and working with many peoples, I am sure he's heard about it a few times. So when you menstruate Fingolfin doesn't really press or ask any questions. Though if you feel like you need to tell him about your period, you absolutely can.

As good as he hides it, because he is not used to menstruation, he is uncomfortable by it. But in no way does he make you aware of this issue, nor does he take his discomfort out on you, knowing you can't help it and it's normal for you. So instead Fingolfin just tries to normalize it for himself as best he can.

He keeps everything pretty organized and working smoothly when it comes to your needs and care. Fingolfin makes sure the room is well stocked with what you need, that he checks on you, especially on bad days. He makes sure that you are resting on those bad days too. He's already gentle with you but he tries to make sure that he's a little more sweet on you than he is normally.

Your mood swings are something he is virtually unbothered with- look at who his eldest brother is- so he doesn't really react much to them. Only taking them in stride and giving you the space you need when he knows you need it!

Fingon

Fingon is really relaxed when you have started your menstrual cycle. He's been around enough humans to have formed an idea of what menstruation might be. Granted, he is surprised that his idea of menstruation isn't what it actually is especially when you talk about it to him.

Fingon will absolutely listen to all of your period complaints and issues that come with your period. Cramps, clotting, and the other stuff that comes with it. He merely laughs the first time you explain that your period isn't like a big gush of blood like if you cut your arm open. Because that is exactly how he pictured it and he tells you as much. Fingon is kind of silly and light hearted about the whole ordeal.

You won't have to worry about being worried about any messes of any kind. Fingon is right there to either take care of it so you can care for yourself, or he assists you. He finds it extra important that you rest the entire duration of your period, so any duties you have he will put on hold until you are done.

Expect him to dote on you a little extra outside of just affections, he will bring you extra sweets and little knickknacks that might cheer you up or bring a smile to your face if you've been in a bad mood because of your period.

Turgon

Oh boy, when you first menstruate around Turgon, the poor King of Gondolin is thoroughly worried and panicking about why you are bleeding from your nethers! He asks if you are okay? What's the matter? Why are you bleeding? Do you need to see a Healer?

And when you tell him that's normal, he blushes deeply trying not to look so undignified (further). Explaining to him that it's menstruation and what the purpose of it only serves to make him blush embarrassedly. He's not embarrassed by you, it's just a conversation about the reproductive system of a menstruating human most certainly catches him off guard.

Turgon doesn't ask anymore questions, nor does he really talk to you about it. He will try really hard to listen to your period complaints, but they only serve to make him blush and uncomfortable. Unintentionally making you uncomfortable, it takes some time for him to warm up to it, but he does eventually!

Turgon does ask what it is he can do to... make you comfortable. He has a healer ready at your disposal should you need it, gives you plenty of time to rest and definitely tries to work in time to spend with you to be a little more affectionate should you need or ask that of him!

Argon

When Argon discovers humans can and do menstruate for the first time, he looks to be very deep in thought. Not nearly as fretful as Turgon, but not nearly as relaxed as Fingon. He feels a bit indifferent about it, though he is concerned about how it might affect you.

Argon is really cut and dry about this, if you tell him it's normal he accepts it for what it is. When he asks if it's painful and you say yes, he accepts your words again at face value and mentally works how to tackle it. He can't make it stop- so you've told him- but you say it can be made better with pain relievers. Argon will absolutely be out the door to go grab them as soon as you say it.

Any other menstrual supplies he gets a little embarrassed by it but he toughs it out and gets it for you, anyway. Because he loves you and you told him you needed it. Which is funny because he is also the same type of ellon that if you are embarrassed by someone seeing your stained sheets, Argon will go clean it himself. Even if he gets caught cleaning blood stains out of the sheets, completely unembarrassed by it.

Argon completely and totally follows your lead on it, and doesn't press much unless a new something has popped up that he doesn't recognize. Like why are you so moody? And when you tell him that's normal, he just accepts it and tries to plan best about it. He's still pretty routine oriented though so you won't get checked on throughout the day, but at night he definitely makes up for it, snuggling up close with you and pressing soft kisses to your face.
