#other girlies can have their isekai romance with legolas or aragorn

[lady-of-the-spirit]

You've been isekai'd to the fictional world of what you last played, read or watched (whatever was the most recent option)…what was it, would you survive and what would you do in it?

I was reading Lord of the Rings...

The boring answer is, I'll probably just end up living in whatever place I'm closest to. If it's a human civilization, let's hope they don't see me dressed in weird clothes and not knowing anything about the world and think I'm some dark being from Mordor or something. Chances are I'll probably just be living as good a life as I can, just trying to figure out how to survive in Middle Age-esque times. If it's a dwarven kingdom I feel like I'd only survive the way Bilbo does with the dwarves - being hopeless at anything practical but endear them to me with my personality. Elves? They've already adopted one weird human (Aragorn) what's another? Hobbits? They'd probably give me directions to Bree and send me off with a wave, don't want any Big Folk Funny Business in the Shire, do we?

BUT if consider the possibility that a general rule is "We found an abandoned person who doesn't know anybody or anything, let's bring them to the palace, they'll know what to do with them", there's a possibility I'll end up living a royal lifestyle and ideally having some sort of courtly romance (minus the Shire because as stated they're not dealing with me). And luckily, every option has either a character I'd happily hook up with or the possibility of a good hook up. Or be best friends with, or both, but only time will tell. Imminent war and destruction is constantly looming overhead so who knows what'll happen to be then.

If I'm living a true isekai story life, though, no matter what happens, I'll end up in the Fellowship in one way or another, and then my chances of survival will go down. Or increase, because story rules means I'll survive if there's not a narrative purpose for me to die. And because they've already agreed to deal with Hobbits, one more kinda useless person on the team isn't THAT much to deal with. Boromir, teach me to use a sword, please.
