I just have to say Legolas because I'm trash. 😂
i’m right there with you !!
favorite thing about them
god that fucking hair tho … also the dumbass energy, the weird mix of childishness and immortality, also bows are fucking sweet
least favorite thing about them
look he’s not the most useless member of the fellowship but he IS the worst at conversation and the least important to the narrative lmao
favorite line
i really love his song of the sea, especially this part-
West, west away,the round sun is falling.Grey ship, grey ship,do you hear them calling,The voices of my peoplethat have gone before me?I will leave, I will leavethe woods that bore me;
i’m always thinking about that last line, “the woods that bore me” - does he mean he’s bored of the woods, or that the woods are where he was born? or both? oof !
brOTP
Aragorn & Legolas, obviously - but also Legolas & Tauriel (i LOVE THEM) and Legolas & Boromir (though this mostly exists in my head/my fics) and really Legolas & all the Fellowship
OTP
Legolas & Gimli are kind of my forever OTP tbh. i like to see them as queerplatonic but i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, all Gigolas is good Gigolas!!
nOTP
um literally any ship except for Gigolas, i’m very picky with shipping when it comes to characters i headcanon as aro and other pairings are Not For Me !
random headcanon
he’s extremely socially awkward and a terrible diplomat. if thranduil and/or aragorn and/or gimli are not there to frantically hand signal that he should change the subject at Important Meetings things go wildly off the rails very quickly
unpopular opinion
legolas is aroace!! (also, all but 1 of the fics tagged ‘aromantic legolas’ on ao3 are written by me jdfhdjh)
song i associate with them
this is kind of cheating but Adele McAllisters @everywindintheriver ‘s rendition of “To the Sea, To the Sea!” is so good and gets stuck in my head all the time :)
favorite picture of them
LOOK i’ve got an entire sideblog to fill up with pictures of legolas,, @obliviousleg but here’s a good fanart (by @eravee) and here’s one of my favorite edits (by @makebeliever) ! also, just everything @deheerkonijn draws of him!
