Cats and pandas seem to be taking things over. Should I be worried?

Lance's puppy is sad. Eldo's kitty is surprised that Lance's puppy is sad, and my kitty is wondering what to do about it, Bungo's Panda is too tired to do anything about it, and Dave's Bear is too grumpy to do anything about it. simps

Right idea but not exactly.

Valinor or the Straight Road, then? Or something not in that line of reasoning?

I'll take the Straight Road, as I meant the sea.

The "to the Elves sing" part should have clued me into that. 
Thanks, Halfy! I'll try to get another riddle posted soon.

This one is also probably pretty easy, but I couldn't resist making it rhyme again. 
War just makes me anxious, but battles make me crazy.
Even if you see good the fog is always hazy.
I got no drama cause the baby mama's in the dirt,
And now my son's brother is about to bring the hurt.

It's not easy, Eldo 
Is there some sort of cultural reference I'm not getting?

Well I wrote the riddle like rap lyrics (following the model of a specific song), but the description/references are to Tolkien's character/object/event/thing.
Well, that and the fog of war concept.

"baby mama's in the dirt"
This had me thinking the baby mama was Morwen. But the answer isn't Hurin.

This character's wife is a lot more obscure than Morwen.

Hmmm, I'm not sure how much that helps. But it's better than no hints at all.

The unstated implication which I'll go ahead and confirm is that the answer character is a lot better known than his wife; he's a name you'd expect all readers/viewers to know.

I was about to guess but then I realized I'd have to come up with a riddle if I happened to be right

maybe if reverse some words: "brother's son" not "son's brother" and "mama's baby" not "baby Mama".
