So I thought about doing some ratings of ships from my perspective, so please take this light-heartedly. Just wanted to check if anyone else has similar opinions? Our views may vary, so don't feel offended.
1) Thilbo (Thorin X Bilbo): 9/10
Honestly, this may work out pretty well. Bilbo would protect Thorin before his own life, and Thorin, of course, would appreciate his courage. (As hinted in the movies?) They would have each others backs.
2) Kiriel(?) ( Kili X Tauriel): 10/10
They'd be the perfect couple that everyone wishes to achieve. Though it would take Tauriel some time to warm up into their relationship, but Kili has all the time for her.
3) Legriel (Legolas X Tauriel): 6/10
I honestly don't see them working out together. They'd be more of the best friend kind, with their friendship being very deep. But romantically... They wouldn't work out. Their personalities would clash.
4) Barduil (Bard X Thranduil): 10/10(platonically)
Honestly, Elves love only once- true love. And Bard was possibly devastated after losing his wife. So it's like a silent, mutual bonding that exists between the Elven king and Bowman where they completely trust each other.
5) Bardolas (Bard X Legolas): 4/10
They won't just go together. Legolas's personality is much younger than Bard's.
6) Thorinduil(?) ( Thorin X Thranduil): 5/10
They would often clash in their opinions, priorities, habits, and personality. But maybe at the end of the day it would settle down. Could work, or not work.
7) Thrandolas (Thranduil X Legolas): 0/10
8) Elronduil ( Thranduil X Elrond): 8/10
The two great elves would work together surprisingly well. Though Elrond might be troubled by Thranduil's ways, and Thranduil might be dominant/ posessive, but they would go together.
That's all of the major ships I've found on Pinterest, Ao3 and Tumblr. Tell me if I missed out any.
Feel free to drop by your opinion, but don't be rude or mean. I might dislike a ship, but I hold no grudge against the person who ships the ship!
