Synchrony. I talk a lot and I like to laugh. Also known as Synchroshatter. Internet procrastination pro. This will probably end up being fanfic and feels all over the place. Check out my writing on AO3

honestly VIII had the best summons

[incorrecttolkienquotes]

No. Do you want to know how done I am right now? Because I’ll tell you. I have walked all over this Mahaldamned earth, I nearly froze to death, on more than one occasion I almost got eaten, Durin’s Fucking Bane almost set me on fucking fire, I got to go on the world’s worst cross country marathon, human politics nearly got me locked up, I just had the worst night ever, AND NOW THERE ARE FUCKING EYES IN THE FUCKING TREES, LEGOLAS, DO YOU KNOW HOW EXCITED I WOULD BE TO NEVER THINK OF THAT AGAIN?

- Gimli, to Legolas, book III of The Lord of the Rings, chapter VIII

[postmodernismruinedme]

Things that crack me up about Legolas:

Okay, so maybe the film guide says he was born in TA 87, but looking at clues from HOME and the Silmariilion, he’s at the very most a bit over 2000 years old at time of The Fellowship of the Ring. He’s the youngest elf that we know about in that time period. ARWEN is older than him. He’s creeped out by Fangorn being so old but he calls all mortals children because he’s a little shit.

Tolkien would get super pissed off when Legolas was shown in illustrations as “pretty or lady-like” and insisted that he was the biggest, roughest, toughest of the elves and the most hardcore of the Fellowship. Legolas is like the freaking Schwarzenegger of the elves, nbd.

Best friend is a dwarf whose father was literally imprisoned by Legolas’ father and yet he still brought him to the Undying Lands for the most awkward family reunion because screw you Thranduil. And let me remind you that a) Gimli is the only, only dwarf who got to make the trip and Legolas invited him. Other people had to get permission from like the literal Valar and Legolas was like I want to bring my mortal bff yeah he wasn’t a ringbearer but whatevs. Also b) most of the people who left in TA 3201 went on like these fleets of beautiful vessels with a master shipbuilder but Legolas was like nope, going to build one myself, never built one before but it can’t be that hard, right?

While Sindarin is the most common Elvish language by the time Legolas is alive, it’s considered really ugly and and unrefined, but here Legolas is running around probably not even able to speak the language of his ancestors, and I imagine him super proud of what must sound like an awful accent to his people.

Also super explains how useless he was at Moira trying to decipher the door because he doesn’t have time to deal with those snobs.

All the Fellowship got useful gifts or ones with spiritual meaning but instead Galadriel was like no, Legolas, I’m going to give you this big ass bow that’s bigger than the Mirkwood ones and it’s going to be so sick yeah it’s like taller than you are BUT ITS GOING TO LOOK SO SWEET.

[wilde-is-the-wind]

I’m so sorry, but this just looks like a rip from a rap video.

[bigmamag]

I’m fucking sobbing. Aragorn looks like he’s fighting off a bee before he swoops in to tackle someone. Legolas punching the air like he’s celebrating too early. The dude who’s creeping after Gimli like he’s gonna be an easy target and Gimli charging like a battering ram to crush his kneecaps. Gandalf serenely ignoring all this.

When Thorin and Bilbo begin sharing a bed, what if Bilbo is all prepared to snuggle when Thorin suddenly rolls over and turns his back to Bilbo.

Bilbo’s expression is an illustration of !? because does this mean Thorin does not want to cuddle even a little? what is this? is this yet another dwarven peculiarity?

But then Thorin glances over his shoulder with a look of ‘what are you waiting for?’ and Bilbo has a light bulb moment and scoots close and moulds himself to Thorin’s back.

Because Thorin just wanted to be the little spoon ^W^

@fuckyeahnorwegian

[fuckyeahnorwegian]

you have some genuinely beautiful words here, like komorebi, laotong, limerence and meraki… and then you have the norwegian word.. which means drinking beer outside bc you never can bc it’s always fucking raining so we need a specific word for that one day per decade when it’s actually nice enough for you to go outside 

[roachpatrol]

seigneur-terrasse is cracking me up because it translates literally to terrace-lord and in english we also stick ‘lord’ together with other stuff to be scathing about people. 

like, consider the excellent specificity of the english term edge-lord, an immature person who pridefully feels that their deliberate social transgressions make them feared and respected by others, but is wrong.
