My gift for you, Legolas, is a bow of the Galadhrim, worthy of the skill of our woodland kin.

For @orlandobloom ❤

And I thought to myself then...there is one who I could follow. There is one I could call King.

new years’ giveaway - elrond for ellie // @ellrond from marleena // @orlandobloom

In those days of our tale, there were still some people who had both elves and heroes of the North for ancestors and Elrond, the master of the house, was their chief. He was as noble and as fair in face as an elf lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as a wizard, as venerable as a king of dwarves and as kind as summer.

[Image description: Colored pencil drawing of Arien and Uinen from the Silmarillion about to kiss. Uinen is a blue mermaid with kelp-hair and green eye; she is reaching up out of the ocean to her girlfriend. Arien is a red and yellow sun goddess with a mass of pale curly red hair streaming behind her and a skirt like a sunbeam trailing behind her; she is hanging from the Sun and reaching down to her girlfriend. Behind Uinen the sky is darkening, and three large stars are visible alongside a scattering of smaller stars and Eärendil pushing his star across the sky; behind Arien the sky is an orange-pink color as the sun sets. On the ocean, beneath Arien, a ship (dwarfed by the Maiar) sails on calm waters, about to be attacked by a purple and green kraken. End image description.]

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!
