I love many fandoms. Most of what you see currently will be The Avengers, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones/ASOIAF, and the NBC Thursday comedies.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

no wonder Legolas left home to join the Fellowship, his dad is super weird and their house is in a spooky old forest full of giant spiders and amnesia rivers.
Merry: confused awe
Frodo: confused awe
Sam: confused awe
Pippin: finally I’m getting the respect i deserve from these peasants

Awkward!Boromir’s internal monologue.
my headcanon here is that legolas is just BARELY visibly holding it togetherx
since canon tells us that mirkwood elves like to party and are fully capable of passing out from drunkxso legolas is using EVERYTHING HE HAS to fuck with gimli and pretend he hasn’t a clue what it’s like to be affected by alcoholxwhile inside he’s all ‘sdkla;hgsj you can do this leggles you can do this’x‘don’t think about that time you blacked out from dorwinion wine while naked in the middle of an impromptu archery contest’x‘and when you woke up you were halfway to dale without a clue as to how you got there’x
i’m so glad about this
okay so especially in the two towers, any time legolas is not the focus of a shot, particularly in Helm’s Deep, he makes the greatest faces
like this one especially
i’m calling it Background Legolas and i want it to become a thing now
This is the best post. omg.

The Lord of the Rings Meme | ten scenes (2/10)
Farewell to Lórien.
This is my favorite fucking scene.
If you’ve read the Silmarillion, you know who Fëanor was. If you don’t, Fëanor was the dickhead who created the Silmarils: three indescribably beautiful and magical jewels that contained the light and essence of the world before it became flawed. They were the catalyst for basically every important thing that happened in the First Age of Middle Earth.
It is thought that the inspiration for the Silmarils came to Fëanor from the sight of Galadriel’s shining, silver-gold hair.
He begged her three times for single strand of her beautiful hair. And every time, Galadriel refused him. Even when she was young, Galadriel’s ability to see into other’s hearts was very strong, and she knew that Fëanor was filled with nothing but fire and greed.
Fast forward to the end of the Third Age.
Gimli, visiting Lorien, is also struck by Galadriel’s beauty. During the scene where she’s passing out her parting gifts to the Fellowship, Galadriel stops empty-handed in front of Gimli, because she doesn’t know what to offer a Dwarf. Gimli tells her: no gold, no treasure… just a single strand of hair to remember her beauty by.
She gives him three. Three.
And this is why Gimli gets to be an Elf Friend, people. Because Galadriel looks at him and thinks he deserves what she refused the greatest Elf who ever lived—- and then twice that. And because he has no idea of the significance of what she’s just given him, but he’s going to treasure it the rest of his life anyway.
Just look at that smile on Legolas’s face in the last panel. He gets it. He knows the backstory. And I’m pretty sure this is the moment he reconsiders whether Elves and Dwarves can’t be friends after all.
Everyone look at this great fucking post
There are posts and then there are posts
Why didn’t the Eagles just take the Fellowship directly to Mordor?
- Eagles are very proud and noble creatures who refused to get involved in the wars of men. Gandalf was only able to ride them because he was a Maiar, a semi-divine spirit, who the Lord of the Eagles, Gwaihir, owed a favor because Gandalf had once saved him from a poisoned arrow.
- The Fellowship was supposed to travel in secret. Sauron only knew that the Ring had left Gollum’s cave for the Shire, and was now somewhere else. Large eagles flying into Mordor would have tipped off Sauron and, most importantly, the Nazgul, which no creature could out-maneuver. The Nazgul would have killed the eagles and taken the Ring to Sauron.
FUCKING THANK YOU! When people make this stupid argument I just
Penadan, Penrohir, and Penwen…and Pengolas.
Oh my goodness!
