Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

19. Protective Caranthir Headcanons

- A protective Caranthir is a saving grace for you, and a literal worst nightmare for whoever is on the receiving end.

- While violence is his last resort, your safety comes first and foremost before anything else does, including your comfort.

- Even when it comes to dealing with naysayers, Caranthir knows just how to tear them down and make them regret ever saying anything at all.

- It's mostly his tongue that gets him into trouble to begin with, so dealing with a horrible social situation will be a cake walk.

- He'll demand that they repeat it to his face in a dark tone, glaring at the person.

- If they have the gall to repeat themselves Caranthir will not spare their pride and has no issue making sure they are thoroughly humiliated (and terrified).

- When it comes to your physical safety, there is no one that could protect you better. Not even his guards.

- You are Caranthir's everything, he does not play at all when it comes to you.

- If someone even has the audacity to try to strike you with Caranthir there beside you, he catches their wrists and wont hesitate to crush it in his hand.

- Absolutely expect for him to still throw a few punches in because of the attempt.

- If he happens to not be present when someone strikes you, the moment he catches wind of it, he will hunt them down so he can handle it.

- Caranthir is most certainly the kind of man who takes the saying an eye for an eye seriously, except he takes it much further.

- He has no issue beating the literal life out of someone who had the audacity to lay a hand on you in a violent manner.

- It will take several guards to pull him off, or if you are lucky and his brothers are there it'll take them to get him off of the person who harmed you.

- Eru forbid if someone ever tries to kill you, there will be no stopping him until the threat is utterly destroyed. Even if he has to do so with his bare hands.

- Afterwards once the threat is gone it will take him a long time to finally calm down.

- That time is wisely spent alone and with you, for him to be able to calm down he has to make sure that you are safe and within arms reach.

- The best method to calming and soothing him and yourself is you two laying in the bed together, or sitting in his lap. His arms wrapped snugly around you, and you laying against his chest.

- It's the safest place to be in all of Thargelion and the longer the two of you stay like that the quicker he calms down.
