Hahahaha!

Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin
You are a convinced pragmatic, someone who always comes prepared and gets the job done. You aren't scared to get down and dirty - in fact, you are scared of very little in general. You don't mince words, and some find your direct ways a little hard to handle, but those who look beyond the intimidating exterior gain a treasure worth having. You are reliable and trustworthy and quite protective of your friends, and with you by their side, there's little anyone has to fear.

This, for the person who gave her greatest weakness as 'indecisive' and usual place at a party 'wherever the drinks are flowing'? That attacking dragon has just fallen over laughing and can't get up --- or was the the idea?

Seriously, very cool idea!

[nialoke]

Thank you, I'm glad you had fun! :D
'wherever the drinks are flowing' actually did give you points towards the Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin, I guess I just thought a dwarven helmet should have a high alcohol tolerance...? XD

[zdenka]

This is delightful, and I love the concept!

I'm the Ring of Barahir, excellent. :D One of my favorite First Age objects.

Despite a certain love for grand gestures and flashy get-up, you are a thoroughly honest and forthright person. Your loyalty and dedication are a boon to your friends and admired by many. People trust you easily, and you often help out friends who need someone to speak out for them. Unfortunately, this means you often get involved in conflicts not your own, and that you sadly are often unequipped to handle. Remember that sometimes the wisest choice of action is not to engage directly, and that there is no shame in leaving a battlefield to those trained for warfare while offering what support you are able to give on other fronts.

Yay, I'm happy you like it! thank you for letting me know :3

I got:

Fëanor's lone left sock
You're the oddball in your friend group, and you love it. No-one quite knows what to do with all your unique stripy-dotted glory, but you earn a place of honour in the basket of life nonetheless, where you show up at unexpected times to contribute some linguistic tomfoolery that everyone feels is missing something crucial to be of use but does not quite dare to point that out. Once a year or so, you and one of your other oddball friends is asked to help out on laundry day, and the rest of the year your life it's sunshine and rainbows. Life is good.

Thank you very much! I appreciate it!

[nialoke]

Ehehe, I couldn't resist adding at least one nonsense item ^-^ I'm sure you're a very good, happy sock.

[elwinfortuna]

I got this one too! :D

[hhimring]

We are not lone socks at all, we are odd socks in good company!
*g*

[baileyboybee]

I'm Fëanor's lone left sock as well!

[hhimring]

We are the Order of Feanor's Socks!

[nialoke]

More socks, hello! :D Amusingly, out of all quiz takers at the point I'm writing, about 30% are socks. Next up are The Ring of Barahir with 18% and Anglachel/Gurthang and Ancrist both with 15%. The result the least people got was Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin with roughly 1%.

Aaanyway, thank you for trying the quiz and commenting ^-^

[sasha_honeypalm]

I, too, am Feanor's left sock.

Ironically, looking at my response times, I was quickest to answer that my flaw was being indecisive.

[nialoke]

Aw, another sock, welcome to the basket! ^-^
Thank you for commenting!

HA HA HA!
I’m yet another of Fëanor’s socks. The description is oddly sort of accurate. I debated putting linguistics over friendship and loyalty and the like, but I couldn’t resist. There is probably some truth to it, as I tend to annoy my IRL loyal friends with incessant talk of languages, words, writing, and various language minutiae that I find fascinating but no one else seems to care about...

The other two that I debated were the party one and the weakness one. For party I debated between “I don’t do parties” and “On the back room couch with a book from the bathroom,” but eventually decided that while I don’t do parties very often, if I’m being honest with the quiz I do go occasionally, whether by choice or necessity, and in those situations I without a doubt at some point will follow the second option.

And then the last one was between indecisive and impractical, but I eventually decided that A, while both are true the fact that I couldn’t decide is evidence of the former, and B, I shouldn’t take this quiz so seriously as to search my soul for the absolute most accurate and instead just pick an answer.

Anyway, this was a super fun quiz! Such a great idea! I laughed out loud (for real) at my answer and will definitely be retaking it putting in different answers to see what the other options are.

[nialoke]

...you sound exactly like me when I'm taking silly quizzes, overthinking things even then XD
If I remember correctly, "I don't do parties" would have given you points toward Angainor, and "impractical" towards The Ring of Barahir and the Nauglamir (you know... because they're both kind "just" for decoration... don't ask for logic here, lol)

So glad I could make you laugh! :D

[ermingarden]

OH MY GOSH this is HILARIOUS! I can tell how much thought and effort you put into this! (I got Silmaril, although I'm definitely not "the center of attention at every party" - far from it, in fact! But the description was such a perfect pastiche of these quizzes.)

[nialoke]

Aaaah, thank you! So happy you enjoyed it - I definitely had a lot of fun making this! :D

[erulissedances]

Well, no-one else has mine, and I suppose, given my results and the fact that I like to hang on the fringes because I'm not a people person (also, choosing Death probably helped too, as well as my honesty in choosing self-righteous as a negative trait), here's my solo adventure into First Age Artifacts, and I'm quite happy with my result.

Your Result:
Anglachel/Gurthang
You are a bit of a moody type - capricious and fiercely independent, you don't like to be too predictable and always keep everyone on their toes. With you as a friend, life never gets boring. You have a sharp tongue that both friend and foe know to be wary of. Be careful you don't go too far - there's nothing wrong with a bit of good-humoured needling, but what was meant to be a bit of harmless fun can quickly turn into something much more sinister. Despite your mischievous streak, you can be quite patient and are capable of a single-minded focus, which shows both in your extraordinary prowess at your chosen profession and your ability to hold on to a grudge.

Damn, this was fun!

Oh my God, I somehow managed to completely miss your comment, I'm so sorry! Thank you for commenting, I'm so pleased you had fun! ^w^
