Legolas & Thranduil headcanons because the movies can eat my ass

After his wife died, Thranduil raised Legolas alone - and by that, I mean, he literally refused to let anyone step in and help him, he was a 24/7 dad.

He fed him, bathed him, held council meetings with a baby in his arms, walked around the castle wearing a sling because he wasn’t letting that little nugget out of his sight. Legolas didn’t even sleep in a crib; he slept right in his father’s arms because Thranduil was too scared to be away from him.

An advisor of his once made the mistake of suggesting he let a nanny care for Legolas, and scarcely escaped the conversation alive.

Legolas has always been quiet, but was borderline mute as a kid. Nothing was wrong with him, he just didn’t really feel like talking. Thranduil didn’t care, his baby is perfect.

Mirkwood elves are known for being merry, but Legolas takes the cake. He was a backflipping, tree-climbing, bannister sliding, chandelier swinging firecracker of an elfing who was constantly giving his father mini heart attacks.

A few elves express their concerns about the young prince being too excitable. Thranduil tells them to fuck off, his baby is perfect.

Legolas brings stray animals back from the forest. Said animals range from cute little mice to not-so-cute baby spiders.

On one occasion, he brought home some abandoned duck eggs and kept them in his chambers; when they hatched, Thranduil happened to be the one on egg duty and they ended up imprinting on him.

As Legolas grows older, he becomes restless and wants to see the world beyond Mirkwood. Thranduil is terrified to lose him and can’t help but be an overprotective mother hen. This puts a strain on their relationship.

Only Thranduil is allowed to scold Legolas though, anyone else tries it and they’ll lose an arm because his baby is perfect.

It’s only when Legolas witnesses the horrors of The Battle of Five Armies that he finally understands why his father is so protective. Thranduil also comes to understand that he can’t keep his child under his wing forever.

When Thranduil discovered Legolas had joined the Fellowship, he travelled straight to Rivendell to strangle Elrond with his bare hands. He ends up having a mental breakdown instead. Elrond understands. He’s a good friend.

Legolas returns from the war to find his father on the brink of fading, and he carries that guilt for the rest of his life.

When Legolas sails to The Undying Lands, Thranduil only remains in Middle Earth for a thousand years or so before joining him.

“I can’t believe your son brought a dwarf-”

“Shut up, my baby is perfect.”

“But your majesty-”

“Perfect.”

Javert being ugly is based, but “Javert only being ugly by racist 19th century European standards” is something that I think should also be considered.

Jeez, the amount of people in the notes missing the point of this post is staggering.

No one is saying we should turn a blind eye to the harm missionary work does, or that we can’t criticise religion as a whole.

All it’s saying is that being horrible to kids isn’t going to achieve anything. OP literally said you don’t have to let them in or listen to their presentation - just be POLITE.

These are children, for God’s sake.

Weapons of Equestria!

History repeats itself as a band of 6 must rise up against a mystery foe! They must face the trials of each weapon, prove themselves and master each before it's too late! (And maybe find friends along the way)

But the elements awakening slowly starts to rouse another power, older villains trapped in long forgotten blades. Ones that had been forgotten or lost to time. Will the ponies only repeat history? Or find a different path this time...

You know how artists sometimes draw sets of swords/armor/weapons inspired by characters in a show? That but also give it lore and we end up here! I figured I would share it so others could also play around with the idea too!

Fun story (and the reason I have the best colleagues in the world):

One of my friends from my amateur dramatics group was passing by my work one day, and decided to stop in to see if I was there. He walked in and asked at the counter if I was working that day. Both the area and deputy manager were at the till; the area manager immediately told him that she couldn’t disclose that information. When he asked when I’d be in, she reiterated that she wouldn’t be disclosing that information while my deputy manager stated him down and backed her up.

I should clarify that I wasn’t working that day, and this was all explained to me after I got a text in the evening from the area manager saying, “do you know a *insert name here*? He was in the store asking about you.” I confirmed that he was a friend of mine and didn’t pose any sort of threat. What made it so funny for me was that my friend has this bedraggled rockstar look that makes him seem more intimidating than he is, so my colleague’s immediately found him suspicious. When in reality, he’s a complete teddy bear.

But I was extremely grateful that my managers immediately made it clear that they weren’t going to disclose when I was working just because he told them he was a friend. The majority of employees at my work are female, and a couple of them have had to deal with stalkers who keep turning up to the store and asking for them. Fortunately, the company takes this very seriously and won’t hesitate to throw someone out if they won’t take no for an answer.
