For All That Is Talked About, Legolas Does Not Get Nearly Enough Praise For How Kind He Is.

”are they a dwarf or a dwarrowdam?” girl they’re stealing your shit watch out!!

Do you ever think of the fact that Gimli knew Ori well enough to be able to recognise his handwriting after years of not seeing him?

Do you think about one night, Ori, Fili, Kili and Gimli are out having drinks or something before they leave to join the Company, joking and promising Gimli that they’d be back soon to tell him all about it, how they couldn’t wait to see him again but in Erebor.

Do you think that Ori and Gimli sat together, alone. The Princes voices no longer filling the silence.

Then Gimli sat alone.

I’m gonna draw this 🤫🧏‍♀️

My brain: We not sleepin tonight

Me: K *opens ao3*

Aragorn instinctively guiding the hobbits through rough terrain, slowing his pace so they don’t struggle to keep up.

Aragorn quietly tending to the Fellowship’s wounds after battle, his hands steady and gentle despite the weight he carries.

Aragorn listening to Boromir speak of Gondor, letting him reminisce about home without judgment or rivalry.

Aragorn exchanging silent nods with Legolas and Gimli before battle, a wordless promise that they will fight—and survive—together.

Aragorn sitting with Frodo on sleepless nights, offering quiet reassurances without the need for grand speeches.

Aragorn teaching Merry and Pippin small survival tricks, amused but impressed when they take his lessons seriously.

Aragorn humming old songs from his childhood as they travel, his voice low and steady, bringing comfort to those who listen.

Aragorn taking moments to just be—to close his eyes and breathe in the scent of trees and earth, grounding himself in the present.

Aragorn proving, time and time again, that he is more than just a king—he is a protector, and a man who never stops caring.

I am about to rant about the movies and acting and such, I want to make it clear that I am merely a film student with nothing but a certificate for the time being therefor I am not a professional with any professional opinion.

This is just me and my thoughts as a NYFA graduate and a gay ass BagginShield shipper.

The amount of times Tauriel and Kili’s love story is paralleled with Bilbo and Thorin’s scenes is literally a filmmaking technique to portray the two relationships without getting castigated by the audience.

Which also brings to my attention a possibility of Tauriel being made a character for the heavily disapproved of and messy love triangle thing, as a way to draw the attention away from Martin and Richard making Bilbo and Thorin’s story one of beautifully grown friendship, to love, to an toxic and tragic end.

Sound familiar? Because that’s similar to Kili and Tauriel, though they had the freedom of exploring more into the romance then the friendship that the main characters had to work with. Because who wants to see a straight couple slow burn? Plenty but not people who ogle at hot red heads such as myself, (I love my girlfriend guys).

——

Example 1:

The scene of Balin telling Thorin that someone needs to go save Bilbo (while he’s in with Smaug).

Cuts to Bofur giving Tauriel the weed and asking what she’s going to do with it, she responds by saying “I’m going to save him”

Clean cut back to Thorin running into the mountain, not for the gold as he hasn’t even seen it yet, but he’s looking for Bilbo.

Example 2:

Tauriel crying over Kili, asking Thranduil why it hurt so much, and knowing the comfort she needed, he tells her; “because it was real.”

Then we get to Bilbo crying over Thorin, Gandalf sitting down with him and just being there, knowing the comfort that Bilbo needed.

And yes I did in fact rant to my Poppy about this before finishing it and ended up in an in depth discussion about Peter Jackson’s directing on it in general. Normal Sunday night tbh.

Anyway THANK YOU FOR THIS TED TALK ❤️🫶🏿

Best uncle 🌟🌟

(the age here are probably not canon but hey, i'm free 🫡)

*Dwalin and Ori are quietly sitting while Ori reads and Dwalin cleans his axes*

Dori (busting into the room): You two are having sex!

Ori: We are? Dwalin, why didn't you tell me? I'd have put my book down.

Never related with something more in my life

Bilbo baggins is so cool I wish I could get high with him

They heard a noise in the middle of the night
