Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

17. Dating Curufin Headcanons

- When you date Curufin you're going to have to be okay with the fact that he was previously married and very clearly has a child with this elleth.

- The biggest and most important thing to him is whether or not you are kind and respectful to Celebrimbor. Once he sees that you hold no ill will against him, it helps put a lot at ease.

- I've always pictured Curufin to have an air of arrogance about him, I guess it comes naturally with him being much like his father.

- So the fact that he doesn't look down on you and views you as his equal speaks a lot on how he feels for you.

- This is a huge deal, not just for Curufin but for Celebrimbor as well, which he is very mindful of that fact considering this may start out as a touchy subject for his son.

- Curufin is fiercely loyal and is very selective who he lets into his circle of friends and- especially- into his family

- So opening up to you didn't come easy at first, but he was able to quickly decide that you were worth it

- Curufin's exterior is very hard and tough, even in private with you, it's nothing personal that's just how his personality is.

- It doesn't mean that he won't share any affections with you, he absolutely will but that toughness he always displays doesn't come down.

- Curufin is very calculating so everything he does for you from your safety, to his affections, the things he crafts, and even the things he gets for you is well thought out.

- His favorite thing to do for you is get you fine things, or making you fine things, and dressing you up.

- It's not because he thinks you're a doll, it's just he has excellent taste and loves to play on your already beautiful features, enhancing your beauty further.

- Because he is fiercely loyal you will never be left guessing what it is he is feeling for you, and pray for anyone that decides to cross you and Curufin catches wind of it.

- He has a tongue as sharp as his mind and he is far from afraid to use it to tear them down in however he sees suitable or will go out of his way to put a dark mark on their reputation.

- Curufin also isn't afraid to show his affections to the public and he does so with great confidence, he doesn't care much for propriety on that matter.

- I wouldn't bother bringing up the oath, his loyalty to his father and the oath is incredibly intense, and there is nothing you can do to change his mind. In fact he may snap at you if you try to persuade him to abandon it.

- Anticipate for Celegorm to be apart of almost everything in your relationship, if there is anyone he is more loyal too than you it will be his brother.

- As long as you keep Curufin happy, Celegorm (and Celebrimbor) will be happy and do his best to maintain a friendship with you as well!
