Hiiii!!!

How are you?

Just a random question, but do you have any Thranduil related headcanons that you’ve never been able to fit into a fic? If so, what are they?

I hope you’re safe out there! Have an amazing day!!💛💛💛

Helloo!! <3 I'm doing well thank you, I hope you are too!

I thought so long and hard about this questions but I can't really think of any headanon about him I have that hasn't made it's way into a fic. Becuase I've been doing the Snippets of Life for so long, most headcanons that I feel stronlgy about or think are unique and fun get written about.

There's a few that headcanons that I have that are only mentioned and have not been written as its own story (For example, I headcanons that Thranduil killed either Curufin or Caranthir while tring to defend Dior & have mentioned it several times in my fics, but have never written out the event.)

There might be a few that I have only mentioned here on the blog vs being mentioned in a fic but I could not tell you which those are haha

Thank you! You too!

Okay… so hear me out.

What if telling the Council of Elrond that Gollum escaped wasn’t the only reason Legolas went to Rivendell? What if he also went to give Elrond everything Greenwood knew about the Necromancer and its evil creatures?

Because to me it feels really weird that Legolas, a Prince, would just volunteer to go on a quest to destroy the very ring that was cursing his home and about to completely destroy it if he didn’t have an ulterior motive. Especially because (I headcanon) he’s a captain and would’ve spent centuries defending the forest, only for him to walk away the moment a quest, which was more likely to fail than succeed, appeared which would take him straight to the heart of all evil.

So what if he also went to Rivendell knowing that Greenwood wouldn’t be able to stand against the shadow for much longer. And that once they fell, everything they’d been fighting against would spill out into the rest of Middle Earth. So Thranduil decided to entrust Elrond with everything they knew so that if the worst were to happen, Middle Earth wouldn’t be completely fucked.

So Legolas would’ve known this and essentially went to Rivendell knowing that his home wouldn’t be there for much longer, hence why he immediately volunteered to go on the quest; to ultimately protect his home.

Do you agree?

Heyyy!!! Me again 😁

I think I was reading Visit and I noticed that Elrond didn’t seem to like Thranduil all that much and Thranduil didn’t seem to like Elrond much either. I was wondering why and if they’d ever come to like each other. Stay safe out there and have a great day!!💛

Hellloooooooo!!  Welcoem Back <3 

One of the ways that I describe Thranduil is, “Not Unkind, but definitely unfriendly,” and I think that Thranduil from Elrond’s POV in ‘Visit’ is a perfect example of this. He does not really participate in small-talk, he does not go our of his way to force a conversation he see’s no reason to have, he does not feel obligated to sooth the social discomfort of Elrond. Thranduil does not dislike Elrond, but he is indifferent to him, and thus puts zero effort to soften his increidlby Sharp Edges and that can look the same to many as being activly disliked. Thranduil was in Rinvendell to see Celebrian, exclusively. Elrond was not Celebrian. 

Likewise, I do not think that Elrond dislikes Thranduil as a person …. He just dones’t know what to DO with him. Up until ‘Visit’ the only context that Elrond had ever really seen Thranduil in was the War of Wrath and then the War of the Last Alliance. So his imiage of Thranduil is very ….. Aggressive and Bloodsoaked. So he was very wary of the Woodland King, for good reason, and Thranduil did literally nothing to make him more comfrotable. Elrond is trapped under the weight of being ‘A Good Host’ unitl Celebrian returns, but has not idea how to do that. He hates that feeling. PLUS seeing Thranduil the way that he is around those he loves and trusts created a very speficed kind of Congnitive Dissoncine for Elrond lol 

Overtime Elrond becomes more comfortable around Thranduil, and finds him a little more prediactable. He witnesses more and more glimpses of the Thranduil that his friends and family get to see, and gets better at understadning when he’s making a joke and when he isn’t. For his part, Thranduil eventually does put more effort into softening his edges and being a more helpful conversation partner. Perhaps at the behest of Celebrian. 

When Celebrian is kidnapped by the Orcs, Thranduil was surprinsgly supportive, protective, and caring of Elrond both before and after her sailing west. In his own weird way. It was during this time that the two of them finally formed their own (somewhat odd) friendship. 

Thranduil was still not overly ‘friendly’ but Elrond did know that the Elvenking cared enough about him to leave his forest and travel across the mountains to do what he could to help. 

Nearing the end of the Third Age, when Greenwood was in its most angry and desperate of times, King Thranduil would not often accept or respond to official requests from Lord Elrond… but Thranduil would almost always respond to letters from his friend Elrond. The response was usually short and as to the point as possible, but he did respond. (see “Two Letters” lol)

Thanks for the ask and for reading my fics <3

What was the last peice of dialgoe you wrote? :)

Our sassy boys having a sassy farwell.

-------------------

The ‘goodbye’ between Ferdan and Galion had been shockingly simple, even for them. “Do not die, alright?” “I will do my best not to.” “Do not do your best, do my best.” Galion had said, already moving back towards the stairwell, “It’s better than your best.”

I would also like to propose that the Greenwood is a temperate rainforest: the descriptions of it in the Hobbit sound very much like the temperate rainforests found in the UK, especially in how things grow upon other things (the only argument against this is that it does not apparently rain nearly enough for it to be a rainforest...but also I don't think it rains enough for the forest to support the amount of life that it describes, so potato, potahto)
