Just got my AO3 kudos email for the day, and man, is there some LOTR fansite currently pimping my work or something? This is incredible.

[herbirdglitter]

the thing about the hobbit is in the battle of the five armies where Thranduil tells Legolas to go find Aragorn...

Legolas says idk where to go, and then Thranduil is like hey there's this really nice dude you should go meet. His dad was awesome and he's a Dunedine so he'll live longer! Which is great if you're an immortal elf!!

It legitimately sounds like he's telling his son to go have a fling with a hot ranger to kill time. And Legolas' semi-confused facial expressions back this up. I'm not an aralas shipper but boy do I support you guys. this is so good.

LOTR ships

I had previously done ratings for Hobbit ships too, so I'm doing ships from LOTR too. Now, all these are from my perspective, so don't feel offended. Also, I might dislike a ship but I don't hold anything against the shipper.

1) Gigolas (Gimli X Legolas): 4/10

Honestly, they have the most unique and beautiful friendship that could ever exist between two races that hate the other so much. That doesn't have to be romantic. I don't dislike it, it's just the fact that I don't see them in a romantic relationship.

2) Arolas/Legorn (Aragorn X Legolas): 2/10

This again is an friendship that goes very deep. There is a very good bromance that exists between them. Romantically they wouldn't work at all. They won't click together.

3) Legwen ( Legolas X Arwen ): 5/10

Canonically, Arwen loved Aragorn very deeply. But if we see through personalities, they would be in the same wavelength. But I believe they would hardly cooperate. It would be a critical platonic relationship.

4) Baggee (Frodo X Sam): 7/10

This too is a friendship but the way Tolkien expressed their relationship, it would hint that Sam was romantically attracted to Frodo. Also, they would go together very well.

5) Haldolas/ Legir (Haldir X Legolas): 9/10

Legolas would probably be younger than Haldir, but they would go together well. Their personalities would be a little different, which would cooperate very well. Also they would have a friendly romance, which would be pretty cute.

6) Arawyn (Aragorn X Eowyn): 6/10

If canonically Aragorn hadn't loved Arwen and instead loved Eowyn, I believe they would have a just as wonderful relationship. But since they didn't work out, friendship is better.

7) Erefindel(?)/ Glorestor (Glorfindel X Erestor): 10/10

How do I explain this? Courageous, flashy elves who could rule the world together, apart from the fact that they wouldn't. Their personalities are like jigsaw puzzles which complete each other. Hence, it'd be a cool relationship.

8) Celebduil (Celeborn X Thranduil): 6/10

Maybe it would work out. Both have a kind of same family descendance and could hence understand and trust each other. They would have a silent but deep and understanding relationship.

These are all I know and found on Tumblr, Pinterest and Deviant art. Feel free to add your own thoughts, or tell me if I missed a ship.

@nyxokal OH BOY ALL THREE Buckle in, this is probably gonna get long (and probably a little messily worded so apologies in advance for that) --

1.what drives them? what’s their ultimate goal? I think for all three of them 'stopping the cult of Orcus' is, pretty much the goal in general? But their reason/motivation for doing so is a bit different. Arolas: Ensuring that what happened to him doesn't happen to anyone else Halcyon: Stopping the cult from hurting anyone else, and after that? She mostly just wants to go home. Sigurd: For him - I guess it's more of a case of repentance, in a way. He's done… a lot of harm in the past. Don't think he'll truly be able to relax until he's done "enough" to make up for it. also maybe a smidge of revenge, dw about it 2. what was your original concept for this character? how did playing them change that concept? Arolas: Oh boy - Arolas is kind of like, a progression of an OC I've had for over a decade now. A couple of things have remained pretty consistent with him. Largely: Anxiety, scars, being far less intimidating than he initally seems from appearance. With how he is now, the general idea I was running with was like -- for lack of a better way of wording this a "lone wolf" character but -- played more like an actual wolf in that they're social animals. Don't do so well if they're alone for too long. Halcyon: ngl i kinda just wanted to make a gunslinger (and also some other plot ideas arguably got out of hand) Sigurd: The initial concept for Sigurd was basically just: what if pretty much everything went wrong for the guy? Can't elaborate too much there, unfortunately. Spoilers :3c 6. how have they changed in the last year? how about the last five years? I am going to assume in-universe for this because with the exception of Arolas, I've not had any of these guys around for quite that long. Arolas: Stagnated a little over the past five years but the past year? He's actually letting himself get close/attached to people now instead of near constantly isolating himself from other people. His self-confidence has improved a lot too. He still struggles, sure, but he's stopped hiding his face behind a mask all the time at least. Halcyon: A lot of the change is down to her age, I suppose, since 5 years ago she'd have been about thirteen. She's a lot less timid than she was when she was younger, or she tries to be anyway. Also she has a gun now. The past year has been… rough, but she's getting there. Sigurd: Well he's no longer a warlock, for one. Also a lil bit just his 'fake it til you make it' confidence has becoming something he's far less willing to force. He's had a real drastic change in cirumstances and it's honestly done a lot of favours for him. He's a lot more rilling to just, be himself and be honest about things. Again mostly just stuff that's happened in the last year or so with him. 15. is there something that never fails to make them laugh? Arolas: His boyfriend's stupid goddamn jokes/puns. Halcyon: Don't know if there's anything that's guaranteed to make her laugh, but despite what she says, she does have a bit of a soft spot for really stupid jokes. Sigurd: Lighthearted pranks, mostly. 17. they’re crying—what did it take to make them cry? Arolas: Oh that, depends, really. Often it'll be because he's anxious and/or triggered one way or another. Assuming he's allowing himself to get upset ayways. Halcyon: Not exactly hard to do, she's a little bit of a crybaby :') Usually it'll be because she got overwhelmed, one way or another. Sigurd: Someone or something probably pissed him off. He's got a bit of a tendency to bottle up his emotions but that kinda falls apart when he's sufficiently annoyed. 19. what sparks genuine, unadulterated rage in them? Arolas: Hurting the people he cares about, more or less. Halcyon: I feel like she's probably kinda difficut to genuinely anger like that but-- messing around with undead is an easy way to get there. Sigurd: Anyone using/exploiting other people certainly get him close to rage. Almost guaranteed to flip his shit if someone's hurting kids though, doubly so if they're hurting their own kids.
