I'm always thinking about them

Guys, about the picture:

⟡ I put those dates at the top because 3019 of the Third Age is when the War of the Ring ended, and 120 of the Fourth Age is allegedly when Legolas and Gimli departed Middle-Earth allegedly together to go to the Undying Lands (I'm realising now that it maybe should be Fo.A. 120 instead of F.A. 😭 oh well) so they're traveling around sometime between these years...

⟡ The flowers are Lissuin and I heard somewhere that they would look like honeysuckles

⟡ The text at the bottom is an excerpt about why tf the Eldar would accept Gimli into Valinor and how weird that would be

⟡ I tried to reference some Icelandic costume for Legolas, and some old Norse and Germanic costume for Gimli. The longbow is in a case, and unstrung, because I saw someone say that it should be transported this way. Gimli's axe has an axe sheath and I want to see more of these around in general fantasy because they look cool.

(^^ I might be horribly off with this stuff. But this is ✨fantasy✨ so I guess I can be ✨super wrong✨)

Timelapse (I love timelapses)

currently reading the LOTR novels for the first time and i’m convinced gimli spends at least an entire book misinterpreting legolas’s blatant colossal crush on him as just elves being weird as fuck
