Why do you do this to me? Okay they are very similar- Elwë is objectively hotter, Olwë not as freakishly tall. Both are kings; I’m really deciding if I want to spend time in paradise seashore town or most absolute beautiful enchanted forest metropolis. Even though I don’t like seas of beaches all that much, I get uncomfortable if I’m not within forty miles of the ocean. The one flaw with Menegroth is how inland it is. Dating Elwë = Menegroth and the Sindar, listening to Daeron. Olwë = Alqualondë, living in Valinor. Now honestly the evidence doesn’t suggest that Olwë is any less stubborn or has less of a temper than his brother – got to be stubborn to leave half your family behind. Gave a very reasonable, polite response to Fëanor’s unreasonable demands and strong circumstantial evidence that Fëanor was trying to steal Olwë’s authority and people right from under his nose, but then Elu literally during a fit of extreme and justified rage at his nephews for years of lying to his face and being complicit in the cover-up of a major crime aka the slaughter of Elu’s family and theft and destruction of their most prized possessions, even then Elu has the self-knowledge and control to tell them his emotions are running high, they need to leave until he’s processed through them, and Elu does learn from his mistakes. He just seems more self-aware of his flaws, even if said flaws still kill him, than any of the other Elven princes and kings. I appreciate that. Olwë I could have more fun bashing certain Noldor together, plus hey, get to hang out with Ossë and Uinen. But as an oldest of three siblings myself, I feel I might relate more to Elwë. 

Eh, I want to see Menegroth, and climb the abs of hottest elf dude* to exist
