Gimli and Legolas canonically get to be together forever and I just think that’s neat

Tolkien's Fantastical Realms

David Day's A Tolkien Bestiary, published by Ballantine Books in New York in 1979, is an alphabetical guide to the various creatures, races, deities, and flora found in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantastical realms of Middle-earth and the Undying Lands. The book identifies 129 distinct races in detail and explains their physical characteristics, languages, behavior, and cultures. More than just a guide, the book is a key that unlocks the door to Tolkien's works, enhancing the accessibility to his mythical creatures and elaborating on their significance in his vast world.

The book contains more than one hundred black-and-white illustrations and thirty-six full-color paintings. It features illustrations by eleven different fantasy artists, both well-established and emerging artists. The Tolkien Gateway website notes, however, that:

The book has been accused of containing extrapolations and thus deviating from Tolkien's writings. For example, there is a reference to "Kraken" referring to the Watcher in the Water, but the word does not appear as a species in Tolkien's works. While fans have argued that the book is less reliable as a Tolkien reference than similar works by Robert Foster and J.E.A. Tyler, many are fond of its illustrations.

I’ve personally decided that you actually become immortal in the undying lands. I simply will not accept anything else. Sam and Frodo and also Gimli and Legolas all get to live happily ever after forever and that’s the end of it. I’m really in denial. I can’t remember what’s canon anymore.

Thorin was waiting for Bilbo when he reached the Undying lands, followed by hugs,and confessions. Aule, Mandos and Yavanna and the elves made an exception for them.

I think they have their own afterlife place that either looks like the Bag End or Erebor.

Or they made an exception for Bilbo to be with Thorin in the Halls of Mandos

I've seen Twisters eight times now. It took me eight times to fully realize that Tyler can howl, and he howls good. Yknow, the scene after he's just blown fireworks up a tornado? And he gets out with Boone and Ben and celebrates? Yeah, that scene. And you can hear it loud and crystal clear. Please tell me I'm not the only one that realized that. And please tell me I'm not the only one who goes crazy for that BECAUSE GOD DAMN... At this point what CAN'T Tyler do?? Thanks for coming to my ted talk 💀

i think if John had shown Harrow baby sensory videos on his tablet instead of making her drink tea she obviously didnt enjoy and eat biscuts that she so clearly did not want to consume everything might have been different 😔
