(Thanks Ani!! I was hoping you’d ask this one :) I liked writing this a lot)
Fili + N. The color green.
He tried to be subtle about it, at first. He’d always liked the color green—it was nice, and part of nature, and there were enough shades of it that it didn’t get boring. So when he found out green was The Aromantic Color, Fíli was pleased.
Before he came out to anyone (even to himself, really), he started to incorporate green into his everyday dress. A green shirt, or green socks, or just writing in a green marker when he got the chance. Lots of people had favorite colors; no one would think twice, and it made him feel better.
Even when he did come out, eventually, he didn’t think most people put two and two together. Green was just his favorite color; purple was nice too if he wanted to have two—together, the two meant he was aroace, and it could be just a little personal moment of pride.
But his brother noticed the little things. Fíli was so lucky to have Kíli—really, to have everyone in his family be so supportive and loving about being aro, but especially Kíli. It was his brother who accompanied him to his first pride, his brother who gave him the courage to come out to their parents, his brother who bought him his first aro pride merch.
And it was Kíli who decorated his whole room green on Valentine’s Day, too. The first year, Fíli was just having a crummy day—February was rough for aromantics, and it didn’t help that Kíli and Tauriel’s anniversary was the same month, too. But when he walked into his room to see green streamers, hearts, and early St. Patrick’s day clovers strung all over his room on the 14th, he remembered just how lucky he was to have Kíli. It became a tradition after that, and it never failed to make him feel better.
When it came down to it, green was just a color—but it was also a part of him. And in an amatonormative world like the one Fíli lived in, he’d take any pride he could get.

Gimli could come up with a thousand different excuses for Legolas’s lateness, but judging by his partner’s red cheeks, none of them would be quite as ridiculous as what had actually happened.

I was tagged by @tolkienguardians in the 11 questions game! thanks ani!!
under the cut because it got long.
1. what’s the earliest book/book series you remember liking?
Magic Tree House probably.
2. have you ever hated a book you thought you’d love or vice versa? which book?
Yeah, my dad recommended me the Belgariad/Malloreon and I really didn't want to read but it's now honestly probably my favorite book series.
3. if you could trade a living character’s life for a dead character’s life (from the same franchise), which characters would you choose?
This was really hard because I honestly don't want any of the LOTR characters dead but I guess I would trade Rumil's life for Boromir's. Not that I dislike Rumil, but he's a minor character, and I love Boromir.
4. is there a music track you’d assign to a book scene? (name it!)
Not that I can think of
5. if you were to hit someone with a book, which book would you hit them with? is the reading content good?
Les Mis, the appropriately nicknamed Brick. That would get the job done, and it is an excellent and beautiful story.
6. if you had a t shirt made for you based off of any media content, what would it say/look like?
Something for LOTR. I get self conscious about my clothes so something simple probably like the Tree of Gondor. (I have considered getting a sweatshirt like that actually but it costs so much...)
7. which book (if any) have you thrown the hardest across the room (or felt like throwing)?
I really felt like throwing the Creeping Shadow across the room because the twist at the end was really good and I was so upset I have to wait a whole nother year for the next Lockwood book!!
8. any AUs that you’re fond of (specific or general)?
Fantasy, Fairy Tale, Modern...yeah.
9. is there media content that you’d like to see in book format?
Pushing Daisies or Carmilla.
10. any media content you’d like to recommend?
Yes!! So many...Carmilla (if you like queer vampires), Pushing Daisies (just in general), the Belgariad/Malloreon (in general but especially if you like LOTR/high fantasy!), Les Mis in all its forms, Into the Woods (I love that musical so much), Tamora Pierce's Tortall books (SO good, if you like fantasy definitely read these), the How to Train Your Dragon books (honestly one of the most beautifully crafted series I have ever read). And more things that I can't think of at the moment.
11. what’s the best thing you currently remember reading?
All of the things I wrote above...I'm sorry I can't just pick one!! There are so many incredible and enjoyable books out there!!
My questions for you:
1. What is a movie/book/show you think everyone should see/read?
2. What is a song you think everyone should listen to?
