Seems about right.

Love that wardrobe choice for Legolas too. 😂

Years ago my mom turned my old bedroom into a cozy, nicely decorated guest room. I'm not sure if she's aware of this or not but my old poster of Legolas is still taped to the back of the door so... you're welcome, house guests.

I found this quote from Diana Wynne Jones (Author of novels Howl's Moving Castle and Castle in the Air) on her time at Oxford when she had C.S. Lewis and Tolkien as professors and I thought I couldn't relate to Jrrt any more than I already did but I've been proven wrong.

"[C. S. Lewis] was just a marvelous lecturer: he made the dullest topics absolutely shine. He lectured in the very largest of lecture halls, which was a huge “L” shape, and it was packed, with people standing in the aisles, even early in the morning. Everybody drank it in. Obviously a whole lot of people took this away and thought about it, and began writing - mostly for children because in those days you couldn’t write fantasy for anyone else.     Tolkien was a different matter. He was just a kind of eminence grise and a legend. You couldn’t hear him lecture. He worked at not letting you hear, because he wanted to go away and finish writing The Lord of the Rings. So he had the very smallest lecture room. First of all it was packed out, so he spoke with his back to the audience and mumbling. Unfortunately he was talking about - meditating on, really - what a plot is like and how it mutates into other plots, and this I found so fascinating that I went back the next week as did one other person. And this meant that he couldn’t stop lecturing and still get the money, which apparently in those days you could if no one turned up - it was a dreadful racket, really. He could have given just the one lecture and then been paid for a term if we’d all stayed away. But this other person and I attended diligently week after week, so he was forced to go on meditating about plots mutating, and what I could hear was fascinating, because he was busy with the really large orchestration of the latter part of The Lord of the Rings at the time. But all I retain is a sense of how marvelous the way plots work is. That was all I got out of it, but I kept going in case I might understand a bit more next week - let alone hear a bit more."

    (Quoted from “Interview with Diana Wynne Jones, 22 March 2001, conducted by Charles Butler.”)

Brilliant.

And obviously those lectures made an impression on Diana Wynn Jones because the plot in Howl’s Moving Castle is also completely brilliant.

You support means the world to me!🥰 I took some liberty with your request, I think even old trees can bloom when his majesty blessed them with his presence, healing and invigorating them to fight against poisonous evil. Hope it's ok.

Saw Kylo Ren out driving today…

He must have traded in the Tie Silencer for a Lexus🤔

[chicotfp]

What if Thranduil got corrupted by Sauron along with his forest...

[raider-k]

Less wise and more dangerous indeed…

Camping in Middle Earth.

Yes please!

Bring on the s’mores!

I bet Hobbits would be immensely enthusiastic about s’mores.

I feel like I need to write a new Thranduil fanfic just to pay homage to the level of heat inspired by this artwork.

Gorgeous.

[raider-k]

Seems accurate.

[lady-of-imladris]

I just wanted to let you know that Fanfiction subreddit was musing who the hottest character in the entirety of Tolkien fandom was and I adamantly defended Thranduil's honour. Because other options were ridiculous. Aragorn? Legolas? *shaking my head* Amateurs.

Well it's Reddit so they are wrong

Thranduil is the correct option for hotness

I absolutely accept Faramir for cuteness

But we all know who I would go home with 👀

[raider-k]

Thranduil is KING.

This is the only right answer.
