Smn here said: fluffed up for winter Kuya! And imagine, Kuya had enough of feeling a tiny bit cold, and he just turns into this fluffball round type of fox that we sometimes see on arts! Completely soft, round and unapologetic about his foxian beauty! (Almost biting off Quincy's hands when he tries to touch the Flooooof just to be a dick)

((Scaring Eiden silly by coming alive from a ridiculous fur sofa in Aster's living room (Eiden thought he was sofa, it's not Kuya's fault he is not very smart)))

(((Inspiring Karu/Garu to do the same, and now everyone is covered in fur and spit, and Eiden's bed has never been this warm)))

((((Yakumo is knitting everyone dog fur sweaters, hats, socks and scarves))))

oh god pompous winter kyorb is gonna activate every histamine in my body he's a cushion with teeth he could be lying ANYWHERE in the mansion i hope aster doesn't have a lot of purple furniture because if he does ..this is gonna be the most stressful holiday party of everyone's unbitten butts

Silvans go CHOMP

Au where the silvan elves’ answer to their enemies is to chomp down on them.

Giant spiders? Eat them.

Dragons? Tastes like chicken.

Orcs? Roast them over a fire.

Pesky Maia who do not take the hint? They have been meaning to try out a new recipe.

Their motto is “if it tries to eat you, eat them right back”.

Silvans are 90% carnivores bc, while they absolutely will not do any harm to their forest and take anything not given freely by the plants (ex: berries and fruits) they have no such reservations about any and all invaders that have the audacity to come in uninvited.

Thranduil asked Gandalf “would you like to stay for dinner?” one time, and the grey pilgrim has made a point to avoid him since. He did not like the tone or face Thranduil pulled when he invited him to dinner. It looked almost hungry.

Legolas, cooking an unidentified meat over the fire: this is a traditional meal amongst my people.

Aragorn, knowing damn well the habits of the silvans: what’s in the meat?

Legolas: 🙂

Aragorn: legolas, what’s in the fucking meat?!

Legolas: guess you’ll have to find out 😉

*after the meal*

Gimli: that was some good food, surprising considering the pointy ear made it!

Legolas: it was just some beef with some good spices 😁!

Aragorn:...

Legolas, staring straight at Aragorn: better stay on your toes.

Boromir, absolutely oblivious: huh?

Gandalf, slightly truamatized: don’t ask.

Lone night, after they’ve stopped to rest:

Legolas: do you think Sauron would taste good?

Gandalf: lALALALALALALAL-

Boromir: I’m to afraid to ask

Sam, oblivious to what Legolas means: I mean with the right spices-

Gandalf: aAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

*when the balrog shows up*

Legolas:

Nick Cave – Beacon Theatre – October 8, 2023

While he’s most known for fronting the Bad Seeds and for his recent soundtrack work, Nick Cave is out on a rare solo North American tour with Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood accompanying him on bass. And on Sunday the famed Australian singer-songwriter was at the Beacon Theatre to close out a three-night run in New York City.

Legolas’s Age

Ok, so i know that everyone has their own hc for how old he is, especially considering that we are never told his age, however-

I strongly reject the common notion that legolas is more than a few years younger than elladan and elrohir.

And just to clarify, you can hc what you want, i’m not saying it’s incorrect, this is simply my opinion.

But for me, it makes no sense to send a legit really young elf on the quest, so that already eliminates the idea of Legolas being really young or the youngest elf in middle-earth.

Furthermore, some people might point out that Legolas’s attitude is very carefree and lightharded and seemingly young, to which i point at book!thranduil and say “yeah, so is this one, and he’s probably the same age as elrond”. The wood elves that we have seen in the hobbit act pretty lively, they like to party, and they know how to enjoy themselves even with the looming shadows encroaching on their forests. Is it really that surprising that Legolas has a similar attitude throughout the quest?

If anything, the way we are shown how the wood elves live, how thranduil is, gives Legolas’ own light hearted and joyous attitude a rather solid foundation, and it is a shame that foundation is ripped away by the hobbit movies. (The mis representation of the woodelves is probably my biggest pet peeve of the movies)

Now, you’re probably wondering “ok, well than how old do you think he is?”

To which i answer that he was probably born sometime during the 2nd age, where exactly i don’t know, but here is my reasoning for this time line.

Legolas refers to himself as a silvan in the books, which likely indicates that he was born and grew up in greenwood after Oropher’s people fleed there after the sack of doriath, and that most likely his mother was a silvan.

I’m fairly certain that we can all agree on at least that.

However, the reason i say he was probably born before the 3rd age is largely speculation on my part, and it actually has to do with The Last Alliance.

Now, we know that Oropher and Thranduil and a good chunk of their military rode to join this battle, which eventually killed Oropher and resulted in Thranduil being king.

Someone had to hold down the fort in greenwood, and seeing as we know literally nothing about either of the two’s wives or where they were, i’m inclinded to believe that at least one of them remained. Now, you could argue that it was Oropher’s wife that remained, which leaves me to my next point-

Why would thranduil, the heir of the woodland realm, ride out with his people to his possible death, when Oropher was still alive and kicking?

My guess?

Legolas was already born, and probably even already an adult by elven standards. That way there would have been an heir kept safe that could lead the people should both Oropher and Thranduil fall.

I don’t think that, with his experiences in doriath and it’s sacking, Oropher would have been ok with his heir riding alongside him to his possible death unless there was someone in place to take over the crown should the worst come to worse, someone who would already be old enough to also take up the duties of the crown and have the experience of leading (albeit only some of) the people that were left behind when the army went to fight.

Now i’m not saying legolas has to be old-old, he could have simply been born only a century or so before the last alliance, but i do think that, due to the reasons i mentioned above, he was born during the second age.

You are, of course, free to think whatever you want, but this is what makes the most sense to me.
