I'm late in coming to a very old media so if I step on any toes accidentally repeating old stuff, please mind it's not on purpose and I would love recs for any work I can support that share tropes or ideas :)

If you know me, no you don't.

I had an idea… what if Thorin is in crow costume… since they both like shiny things…

Its a very rough sketch but… who loves dark Thorin?

I don’t understand how a man looking like this also can be a big cutie

Thorin

[the-zenith-calls]

My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.

Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??

Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??

Legolas please gain a sense of urgency

[knives-in-the-dishwater]

It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.

gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"

"I wonder what aragorn is listening for? must be hard to hear, what with all of the horses. How many horses are there, actually? 1... 2... 3..."

[taavicleric]

"What do your elvish eyes see?" is Aragorn saying, as politely as possible, "Because the REST OF US are at a significant disadvantage, Prince Dipshit."

We are pleased to note the continued survival of this meme to the point that it, too, is Old As Balls

Any setting where the elves have weaker booze than the dwarves isn't committing to the bit

[kineticpenguin]

I mean, we're talking about people whose lifespan is Yes.

"Oh, the weak wine? That is for children. I am two thousand years old, and I daresay one sip from this highball would knock you on your ass for a week."

[kineticpenguin]

Look, there's this weird thing people do with high fantasy where they want elves to be immortal/extremely long-lived snooty aristocrats and also somehow incapacitated by imagining the taste of salt too hard. "Orcs and dwarves have the hardest booze" no they don't, they have work in the morning! In any of these settings, elves would pregame harder than hobbits party and everyone else has shit to do tomorrow.

[onion-souls]

The average high elf builds up the drug tolerance of a mid-70s Hollywood producer and then spends three centuries studying alchemy. While humans seek immortality, the Immortals seek the elusive "philosopher's cocaine."

[midsommar]

The horse Lee rode in The Hobbit, Moose (the one they CGI’d into his elk), WAS 18 HANDS HIGH. For those of you who don’t speak horse, that means his horse was 6ft tall to his withers which is the highest point between his shoulders. He actually makes Lee look smol, how is this possible??

My Blind King

Actually one of my first attempts to draw Thorin. But it became a bit of challenge for me that I had to redo the whole thing.

I guess it came out alright…! (꒪¯꒳¯꒪)
