Hey you know how Pippin and Diamond had a son and they named him Faramir? And then they introduced him to his namesake and he immediately gained the biggest uncle ever? And how Faramir and Elboron would pal around together and became close lifelong friends? And how Faramir and Elboron both took after their fathers, in that Elboron became a gentle scholar who helped restore lasting peace between Gondor and Harad and Faramir became the fightingest Thain Tuckborough had produced in generations and carried his father's sword and was known for leading the defense of the Evendim Road in the goblin skirmishes following the restoration of Annúminas? Okay so only the first line is actually canon but the rest is also canon

The older I get, the more realise Tolkien was absolutely cooking when he painted the Shire as a paradise.

Like hell yeah I wanna smoke pipeweed and get drunk with the boys, and then eat a hot dinner with my fat ass hobbit wife. And then I get to watch a fireworks show being put on by a fucking wizard.

That's the dream.

ATLAS OF ARDA ↣ MIRKWOOD

“There lies the fastness of Southern Mirkwood,” said Haldir. “It is clad in a forest of dark fir, where the trees strive one against another and their branches rot and wither. In the midst upon a stony height stands Dol Guldur, where long the hidden Enemy had his dwelling. We fear that now it is inhabited again, and with power sevenfold. A black cloud lies often over it of late.”

Aragorn: RIDERS OF ROHAN! What news from the Mark?!

Eomer: boys, give this guy an Edoras Times

Aragorn: thanks, man

Aragorn: Lego, toss him a coin

Gimli: what do they write?

Aragorn: uhm… king’s son is dying

Legolas: sad

Aragorn: oh look, Saruman rules here now

Aragorn: his ugly servant poses by this older fella, a king maybe

Gimli: show us the centerfold!

Aragorn: ooooh a blonde!

Gimli: let’s go there

Legolas: you like tall and skinny blondes huh

Gimli: you bet your sweet ass I do

Legolas: oh

Gimli: that wasn’t supposed to sound like that

Legolas: *already naked* what

Each race is bound to this fate... this one doom. Bring forth the Ring, Frodo.

I have this hc where there's an assumption among the elves that if feral™️ Legolas gets tied down, he'll, like, chill the fuck out. While no one really GETS why he married a dwarf, they're grateful bc at least maybe he won't wreak as much havoc- and much to everyone's horror, they are proven absolutely wrong when they realized he married his best friend who provides absolutely no impulse control and not only encourage his batshit crazy ideas, but actively participates in them.

Love the idea that Thranduil is still not thrilled about his son marrying a dwarf (old prejudices die hard for equally old stubborn elves) but as soon as the two land in Valinor, it is on sight for anyone who even looks at Gimli the wrong way. Like, that is his family line you're speaking about and to disrespect the dwarf is to disrespect his son and to disrespect his son is to disrespect HIM. No one's allowed to ask how it was possible for Gimli to even BE here in front of Thranduil without him being like " because he is my son's husband and the gods seem to agree that my son is a special baby boy who can do what he wants. You gonna disagree with the gods? Didn't think so, begone with your stupid fucking questions."

[wakingupthetrees]

Thinking about these two. A LOT

I like to imagine for Gimli “elf traits” slowly become “Legolas traits” until he’s in too deep.

Mini comic style thingy fueled by 2am hype only. Dont mind me not deciding on the faces i r u s h ed
