I doubt I'll live to see it, but I was just thinking of how interesting it would be to have an adaptation of LOTR with largely diegetic music. Not ironically, either! There's so much music in LOTR, and Middle-earth's world-building is so deeply interwoven with literal music—and it's not that I don't really enjoy a lot of the non-diegetic Middle-earth music that exists, but a version in which you really feel how deeply musical the world is for the characters would be so cool.

#remember that bit in the silm about some people hearing the echoes of the ainulindalë in the water?#imagine if we can literally hear the sea-longing as music #/and so can legolas/#and even in places/scenes where tolkien doesn't supply much musically #it'd be interesting to see what diegetic music people could come up with #like when the people of minas tirith burst into all the city's ways of singing (which we haven't really heard in the book)#but in adaptation we could hear the different genres and languages of song as pippin navigates the social hierarchies #and then hear them come together when victory is announced :')#obviously that kind of detail is better suited to a series than a film but lotr is better suited to something episodic anyway imo #but yes. i'd really like something that leaned into the in-story music without going full musical #don't think it'll ever happen but well. still fun to think about!#anghraine babbles #legendarium blogging #legendarium fanwank #my little piano: music is magic

a dad and his weird son doodle

i just wanted to figure out some stuff with making them actually look related and settled on legolas having his dad’s nose, skin tone and eye colour (and judgemental look)

#y’know a dad and his weird son is how you can describe me and my dad #they’re so family (they never interacted in the books and their relationship in the hobbit films is strained at best)#legolas #thranduil #legolas thranduilion #legolas greenleaf #lotr legolas #the hobbit thranduil #the elvenking #the hobbit #lotr #lord of the rings #lotr fanart

silly LotR blinkies for all yr silly LotR blinkie needs!!

(for anyone who doesn't wanna try to decipher the futhorc on Éomer's, it's abt as close as you can get to "bottom (derogatory)" in Old English ✌🏻✌🏻 EDIT also the Sindarin says “husbands”)

#lord of the rings #lotr #frodo #sam #boromir #aragorn #faramir #gimli #legolas #gigolas #gandalf #eomer #pippin #merry #blinkies #ergi is technically an old Norse term but from what i can find theres not really an Old English equivalent #theres cognates but they have diff definitions/dont have the same implications #so. sjdfhksjdfh

ID: two digital colored illustrations featuring legolas, gimli, and aragorn. 1) legolas and gimli riding a horse together, with gimli sitting behind legolas in the saddle. legolas is a pale, skinny elf with long pale blonde hair, a big pointed nose, and long pointed ears. he wears green layers and a grayish cloak that matches gimli's and aragorn's. he's holding the reins and looking ahead with a deeply flustered and slightly bewildered expression. gimli is a short stout dwarf with ruddy, long curly hair and beard. he's wearing a helmet, red sleeves, matching cloak and an axe on his back. he grips legolas' sides for stability and looks away in the opposite direction with an equally flustered expression. 2) two drawings of aragorn on his horse. he's a slim man with tanned skin, stubble, and dark brown jaw-length hair. he's wearing a matching cloak and silver vambraces. he's holding the reins and looking behind him with narrowed eyes and an expression of annoyance. the second drawing is him in the same position with the same expression but he's rolling his eyes. end ID

re-reading the two towers again and decided to dig up and color these old sketches

#there may come a day. when i will draw horses. but it is not this day #was going for a sort of pj movies and 70s fantasy trash novel blend of aesthetics #i also just. dont wanna draw that many clothing details lol #aragorn is not annoyed with them for being in gay love with each other. he just wants them to figure it out already #so that the polycule can function. come on we have a MISSION you dont have time to be stupid #my art #lotr #lord of the rings #the two towers #lotr fanart #aragorn #legolas #gimli #legolas x gimli #gigolas #gimleaf #gimlas #jesus theres so many #described

A thought if you will: I don't think Eowyn being a bad cook was intended to relate to her gender at all.

There's a far more logical explanation for it: she's a princess, and thus has never had to cook a day in her life. Of course her first attempt ever at cooking is going to suck. Yeah, a woman who fights and can't cook is definitely going to be read as a commentary on gender roles. But I feel like only the fighting part was ever intended to be applied in that manner.

This also leads to another thought: if Eowyn can't cook, I doubt many of the other royals can. Which includes Legolas, as he is a prince. And that's just a really funny idea, like they're out on the quest and Aragorn refuses to ever let Legolas make dinner. Which is honestly hilarious to me.

Gimli: I'm tired of Lembas, can we eat some real food?

Legolas: I could make--

Aragorn: Absolutely not.

#lord of the rings #eowyn #legolas #aragorn is probably a great cook #considering all his time as a ranger #he's had to make some weird stuff in order to survive #so he can whip something up pretty quickly #and often insists on cooking when he becomes king #some poor cook: my lord we can do this #aragorn: i want to help please let me #he is that kind of guy

so you know how in the movies legolas says “a balrog of morgoth?”

well “morgoth” is fëanorian quenya, coined by fëanor himself. (in most texts i think? the proper sindarin version of this would be bauglir).

so either a, legs wanted to sound smart and used the archaic old stabby boy version, orrrrrr b, he learnt it from elrond. and then wanted to sound smart and used the stabby boy version.

edit: this is actually wrong! someone smarter than me explains it here

#or c #the scriptwriters knew barely anyone was going to recognize it in the first place and decided to pencil in something more general #so that a fraction of the audience can understand the lore without having to pause midway and consult the silmarillion #but that isn’t funny sooooooo……..#tolkien #silm #lotr #quenya #sindarin #legolas #morgoth #the word not the ainu

I was thinking about the weirdness of LaCE and the whole sex=soul-marriage thing again (as you do) and a thought struck me:

what if the way it works in cases of assault (or is believed to work by the elves; in this case it doesn't matter if it's actually what happens of just what they think) is that you don't end up with a full-on bond, no, but you do get bits of connection, like hooks stuck in your soul from the other person(s)?

And—if we run with the worst interpretation of the Celebrían situation—what if that's what motivates Elladan and Elrohir to be so determined to hunt down every single orc in Middle-earth?

If Celebrían left because she couldn't bear the feeling or thought or those orc-hooks in her soul (or the ptsd flashbacks and trauma that made it easy to assume the stories were true, and that's what was happening to cause her misery) and hoped that crossing the Sundering Sea would cut them off, or at least blunt them and let the scars heal...

Well, the twins know that you can't really sail back, of course they do. They know!

But Glorfindel did. And a whole host of elves came once, during the War of Wrath. So it's not that nobody has, ever. (They can look up and see their grandfather sailing in the sky every night, out of the Undying Lands. Maybe somebody could hitch a ride...?)

If they can make Middle-earth safe for her again...well, maybe she won't come home. But at least then she could, if a chance ever came to leave and cross the Sea again. She could.

And even if she doesn't, at least when they Sail*, they can tell her that they slew her nightmares, finally.

And maybe that will be enough.
