Lazy Mornings with Haldir

Request:  Lazy mornings with Haldir?

* * * 

- When it comes to having a lazy morning with Haldir you are going to find that they are far and few between when you can actually have them, being a Marchwarden comes with a lot of responsibility. 

- Usually that responsibility is all tied into waking up early or being gone for long periods of time. 

- When he is home and waking up in the morning, it is hard to pin down Haldir for a lazy cuddly morning as he is ready to go out to the training or maybe even hunting with his brothers and he’s one for routine.

- So having a lazy morning is a little lost on Haldir and the idea won’t at all come to him, it will take you having to initiate for you to get your lazy morning. 

- As long as serious things aren’t having to take place, like readying to leave Lothlorien for his duties, you will find that he will be more receptive to a lazy morning with you. 

- Well it will take you asking a few times before he relents. 

- Haldir is a sucker for you, so don’t be fooled into thinking he doesn’t want to spend time with you. 

- He’ll feign halfheartedly about how he needs to go, while hesitating to dress and get ready to leave for the day and off to his routine but at another asking of him to stay, he does. 

- When you pat the bed, Haldir is quick to climb back into it next to you before you cuddle up to him and he wraps an arm around your shoulder and his desire to continue his routine is stamped out. 

- Haldir holds you close, but is wide awake but will happily hold you while you drift off back to sleep, resting his eyes while you two lay there together. 

- If you don’t drift back off to sleep, Haldir will enjoy the groggy chatter that you indulge him in, giving you his thoughts in return. 

- In your lazy morning that you spend together, Haldir will eventually drag you out of bed, far to restless to continue laying there for so long, bringing you out to the kitchens.

- There he will begin to cook breakfast, and you re welcome to join him in cooking or you can be there just to keep him company, either way, Haldir will be happy to have your company alongside him. 

- When breakfast is made, he serves it to you with you both lounging on the couch so you can enjoy your breakfast together. 

- He takes the time to talk about the happenings of the world, especially if you are so secluded from them. 

- Haldir loves the way your face lights up, the way you ask him questions full of curiousity about what it is he has heard through out the realms. 

- He also takes the time to ask you about the things he might be missing out on when he isn’t there with you- things about your day, things you’ve heard throughout Lothlorien, the things you’ve done. 

- Haldir tries to be as involved as possible while you two lounge together and eat breakfast, even when your plates are empty he only brings you over to cuddle him while he listens to you talk about everything under the sun. 

- When the day finally starts where he can get up for the day, Haldir is hesitant to leave your side and ready for his day. 

- But greatly has he enjoyed the time that you two shared together and you will be finding yourself having lazy mornings far more often shared between the two of you.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Extended Edition

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising

I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.

To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking:

Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!

"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" - J.R.R. Tolkien

the two towers poll

[tenth-sentence]

Sam's plain hobbit-face grew stern, almost grim, as the will hardened in him, and he felt through all his limbs a thrill, as if he was turning into some creature of stone and steel that neither despair nor weariness nor endless barren miles could subdue.

'(...) But these evils can be amended, so strong and gay a spirit is in him. His grief he will not forget; but it will not darken his heart, it will teach him wisdom.'

The old orc married couple are fightinggggg

I just finished the two towers and my god those last two orcs are such an old married couple lmfao

One of them was talking about them going somewhere different when the wars over where they can live in peace basically

I'm watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and it still amazes me that I genuinely believed actors were doing their own stunts. As a teenager.

Yes Sam is the hero of the story but don't forget my boy Frodo. He breaks my heart. Frodo Baggins knowing he's walking straight to his death crushed by fear and despair and still taking on this mission and refusing to give up? What got Sam through it all was his strong faith and hope and unwavering love for his master, which makes me cry every time, but, there is something equally heartbreaking in Frodo's clarity about the certainty of his doom, there is something especially heartbreaking in his total absence of hope. He does not have any faith that he will survive this and he is not even certain if he will be able to achieve his purpose before dying, he senses that this is much bigger than him, and the wound will never heal. He knows, yet he goes on. Death is inevitable, "all men must die" but as long as we live we have to keep trying. "We must do without hope" as Aragorn says. I think the character of Frodo is the very manifestation of the "inevitability of death", which is the "key spring of the Lord of the Rings" according to Tolkien. Also Sam's particular brand of heroism deserves a whole separate analysis but it is interesting to juxtapose these two because they are both heroic in different ways and it is heartbreaking how much they love and complete each other. Because Sam KNOWS this about Frodo and this is precisely why he admires Frodo so deeply. When Sam wonders about how much food they will need for the return journey and Frodo tells him that he can't even imagine surviving this , Sam starts crying, because he knows very well that Frodo doesn't have hope or faith, he knows the depth of his struggle and agony and that makes him love and cherish Frodo even more fiercely because if Frodo doesn't have hope, Sam has to have enough for both of them and "‘Come, Mr. Frodo!’ he cried. I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you and it as well. So up you get! Come on, Mr. Frodo dear! Sam will give you a ride. Just tell him where to go, and he’ll go" and I just, I'm in PAIN -

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!

Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!

spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,

a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!

Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!

Hozier AND Lord of the Rings? Yes please 🤲

[toyboy-molloy]

one of my favourite scenes from return of the king is when gimli nudges legolas and tells him to shoot saruman and he just reaches for an arrow without question

[tenth-sentence]

Then Éomer was silent, and looked on his sister, as if pondering anew all the days of their past life together.
