Perhaps he kept a little of his best friend with him long after he was gone

I just realized something

from the hobbit:

“This was Thorin’s style. He was an important dwarf. If he had been allowed, he would probably have gone on like this until he was out of breath, without telling anyone there anything that was not known already.”

from the fellowship of the ring:

“All the one hundred and forty guests expected a pleasant feast; though they rather dreaded the after-dinner speech of their host (an inevitable item). He was liable to drag in bits of what he called poetry; and sometimes, after a glass or two, would allude to the absurd adventures of his mysterious journey.”

Thorin 🤝 Bilbo

boring people with their speeches

Nothing wrong with a mid-quest-hot-spring-nap with the bros after sprinting like 7 consecutive marathons 🤍🤍

some interesting thoughts on how Legolas changes during LOTR

headcanon that being in the fellowship is the catalyst for a lot of legolas’s self discovery and growth

the first huge chunk of his life he was under a shit load of pressure, son of the king. leading hunting parties. participating in royal political theater.

these things are stressful, and legolas found himself growing to fit the mold; he was quiet, serious, and as stern as an elven leader had to be.

but suddenly he’s in the fellowship and he’s around all these random mortals who are filled with so much personality and color and life! they are so different from all the elves he’s ever known! and at first it is so shocking that he goes fully silent as he comes to terms with the fact that people like this can actually exist

and then slowly, he comes into himself. he finds himself smiling at merry and pippin, laughing when he understands the joke! he harmonizes with aragorn as they sing dunnedain songs (they sound much more joyful than the elven ballads he’s used to) . he looks at the stars with frodo and they take turns making up lines of silly poetry to describe them.

he is touched by sam’s simple kindness when he offers him the last piece of his jelly tart. he is inspired by stories of boromirs casual wildness, and his affinity for chaotic nights at the tavern with his mates. he is intrigued by gandalf, who alternates between the old stern wizard and the jolly old man who is eager to poke fun and create riddles.

but most of all, he finds himself in gimli.

gimli, who infuriated him, excited him, confused him, inspired him, consumed his every waking thought

gimli, who he exchanged snarky, charged comments with from the get go, and taught him how to let his inner diva OUT. legolas had never thought of himself as sassy, but the more comfortable he got with gim, the more he felt free to speak his mind

gimli, who taught him how to overcome prejudice to see the beauty in others and himself.

gimli, the first person who’d ever flirted with him, and with whom he had tried his best to flirt back (though his heart pounded and his cheeks flushed). gimli, who filled him with complete and total yearning, and craving, and awakened a need he never knew existed.

gimli, a fierce warrior with a tender heart, who showed him it was possible to be an absolute beast on the battlefield, and also the little spoon at night

gimli, who taught him to love and be loved in return

gimli, his unconventional soulmate, who with the help of the fellowship, pulled back the curtain to reveal a version of himself he could have never pictured.

Lotr headcanon, having lots of patches on your clothes is fashionable in the Shire. The more patches, the cooler you are. Especially if it's a lot of different fabrics. It's common to trade patches with friends and family, and it's usually treated with high sentimental value. It's like carrying a piece of someone with you.

While the hobbits are on the quest, their clothes get holes and such. This leads Sam and Frodo to nab small things from the other members of the fellowship, like handkerchiefs or anything too worn for use, to use as patches. Merry and Pippin aren't so courteous, and cut pieces from the fellowship's clothes while they sleep.

Of course, the hobbits exchange patches amongst themselves while traveling, and they never go anywhere without a needle and some thread. Sam is the best at sewing. Pippin is not allowed around needles.

Boromir notices this, thinks it's adorable, and leaves things out purposely for the hobbits to use. Eventually, he asks about it, and they convince him to do the patches, too.

Aragorn also notices and thinks it's adorable, but doesn't bring it up to them. He's secretly flattered to find pieces of his rag on Frodo's pants. He asks Boromir about it instead.

Legolas doesn't notice. His clothes are elven-made, and the scissors refuse to cut it.

Gimli notices the random holes in his clothes, and the things going missing, but doesn't realize it's the hobbits. He brings it up to Legolas, who immediately convinces Gimli that he's crazy and it's all in his head.

Gandalf notices, obviously, and he doesn't mind until Pippin tries to cut his cloak while hes asleep. He proceeds to wake up and yell at him until dawn.

After Boromir dies, Aragorn takes his cloak, and sews pieces onto his clothes. These are the only patches he has.

Bilbo has a set of clothes with patches from the dwarves, from his own adventure. He told them about the tradition, and they all gave him pieces of fabric to use. He can still recount which patch belonged to who.

The Fellowship When I was a kid, my folks basically told me I was a hobbit. I cherish the memory of them reading all these books to me--and I turned around and read them to my little siblings and eventually to my partner! I've drawn and painted a lot for The Hobbit but never The Lord of the Rings, and this ECCC seemed like the right time to debut one!
