I am half asleep and started thinking about the Fellowship at the dentist, so:

WOULD THE FELLOWSHIP BE AFRAID OF GOING TO THE DENTIST?

Frodo: No. Goes to the dentist very rarely anyway, as his genes have blessed him with basically zero cavities.

Sam: A little nervous about it, but he goes there regardless. He has cavities, and Frodo convinces him to go. His hands sweat while he is in the chair, and he bows as a thank you before leaving the room.

Pippin: No. He goes there for fun, because he wants to try the laugh gas. Claims to have cavities more often than he actually does, just so he can take a handful of the candy offered for kids when he leaves.

Merry: No. He goes in, flirts with the receptionist, sits in the chair, and goes home.

Aragorn: No, but before he became King and he went there once, there was a shit ton of cavities and it took him like 3 appointments to take care of them all.

Gimli: Doesn't even go. Some of his teeth are probably some gold he struck in his mouth himself to resemble teeth.

Boromir: Terrified. Said "Gondor has no dentist, Gondor needs no dentist" so many times that he was dragged to the dentist (next to his house) by force. He acts all cool, but when he stands up from the chair, its just wet from his sweat.

Legolas: Doesn't need a dentist. Sometimes goes there to hold Boromir's hand and to look at all the equipment in amazement.

Gandalf: Doesnt need a dentist, but goes there from time to time just to sit down on the chair and talk to the dentist and the assistants for hours. He does this so often he has been banned from several places because 'he keeps wasting work time by endless talking'.

And as a bonus:

Bilbo: Passes out the second he sees the drill.

Actually was thinking about this because I was first into LOTR in highschool (ROTK came out when I was a freshman!) and my favorite characters/ships were Merry and Pippin followed by Sam and Frodo. Now that I'm in my middle late 30s coming back to the fandom my main pairing is Gimli/Legolas but I also rarepair Boromir with a few random characters. It's just interesting how I am drawn to different characters at two very different times in my life and I think I've only been able to have that experience with LOTR so that's pretty cool.

Had a debate with a friend and now I gotta know

please reblog for larger sample size, my friend bet me no one would say Gimli and I wanna prove her wrong

no matter how terrible my day is. i can always end my day in bed imagining fictional characters making out sloppy style and fucking raw. and that's beautiful. there's some good in this world mister frodo and it's worth fighting for

I would obviously like to start by posting gigolas art :) Still liking this one after a couple months! I want to go back and revamp the lighting and shading eventually… but not today lol

okay okay headcannon that over the course of LOTR, legolas and gimli set up their bed rolls closer and closer to each other.

like when they’ve just left rivendale, they set up their sleeping mats/blankets on opposite sides of the camp, putting as much of the fellowship between them as possible.

then they get through moria, and they start to relax around each other a bit (grief), so they’re content with lying just a few feet apart.

then lothlorien happens, and they start to realize that they actually like one another, so they set up their bed rolls even closer together, maybe just a foot apart (they justify to themselves that it’s so they can continue whispering together through the night).

then the fellowship breaks and the three hunters are runningrunningrunning, and they’re both so exhausted that they can’t even feel self-conscious when they set up their sleeping pads right next to each other (touching), and fall asleep with their faces mere inches apart. (if they wake up the next morning to find they started cuddling sometime in the night, no one says anything).

and then finally, after the drinking competition in edoras, legolas kisses gimli (the jig is up), and they fall into each others arms; sharing lil smooches, whisper-flirting, and holding each other close until they drift off for the night (and every night for the rest of their lives).

meanwhile aragorn (third-wheel of the millennia) is like “good god if my obnoxious friends don’t GET A FUCKIN ROOM and let me finally GET SOME SLEEP i’m gonna lose my mcfreakin marbles”. (but, of course, he’s secretly really happy for them. everyone is).

It is literally on the end of the books facing out on my bedside table. I see it every morning. I want to read it. I have no excuse really, except maybe I have heard it's confusing so I want to finish reading other books first so I can focus more attention when I do read it.

Listen, look, the Only One Bed trope compels me, but Same Sleeping Bag sends me into orbit.

This is gorgeous ❤️

Brb about to cry myself to sleep about Haldir dying in the films and the emotional damage that had to have caused Celeborn in particular.

I can only imagine Celeborn and Haldir being friends and becoming close for centuries upon centuries, and perhaps even Celeborn himself (not Galadriel, but him alone) specifically choosing Haldir to be Marchwarden.

Because he would trust no other more with such a title and task.

And then off Haldir goes with a final goodbye, off to Helm's Deep to fight alongside the race of Men.

And Celeborn waits. And waits. And until all the bodies of elves from the battle get brought back home to Lothlórien, he worries.

And he sees Haldir's bow. Then his quiver, then his sword, and then- his body.

And all he does for weeks is cry. He ponders leaving his own kingdom for Valinor- but what use is it, when his people need him?

Even so, until time comes where he finally leaves Middle Earth- he is miserable and dimmed and lonely, even with Lady Galadriel by his side.

He is only made happy again when he crosses to Valinor, and there are countless familiar faces waiting, banners risen high in honour of his arrival.

And out from behind one steps Haldir, face softened and chin held high, before he dips it to his Lord, like he always had.

Celeborn has never found himself moving faster, and he hugs his beloved Marchwarden so closely Haldir can feel just how much he trembles.

A Conversation between a dwarf, an elf and a man

Dwarf: Well how are we supposed to tell your genders apart? None of you have beards!

Elf: How do you expect us to be able to tell your genders apart? All of you have beards!

Man: None of us can find any way of distinguishing between any of your genders!

Dwarf *gesturing to their beard* and Elf *gesturing to their hair*: The braid work you moron!
