Hands down, the beautiful scene in 01x16 "To Ransom A Man's Soul" where Murtagh and Jamie speak in Gaelic.
You don't need to understand the language to understand what they are saying to each other. How Murtagh is at his wit's end with Jamie.
Murtagh here accuses Jamie of thinking only for himself - and not for Claire. Jamie’s response tells us not only his frame of mind at that moment - but for always: I haven’t a single thought of anything but her.
Here’s the full translation of this amazing exchange, courtesy of the Great Scot Blog:
[Jamie to Murtagh] Ciamar as urrainn mo leigeil ris a’ chràdh seo? – How can I be left to this pain?
[Murtagh to Jamie] Nì sinn ar dìcheall do leigheas. – We shall do our utmost to heal you.
[Jamie to Murtagh] Cha ghabh cuid de nithean leigheas. Mar as miann leam, cuir crìoch air seo a-nis. – Some things don’t take healing. As is my desire, put an end to this now.
[Murtagh to Jamie] Chan fhuilinn mi ’n còrr. – I’ll suffer no more of this.
[Jamie to Murtagh] Chan fhaigh mi seachad air seo. An toir u orm aslachdainn? – I won’t get past this. Will you force me to beg?
[Murtagh to Jamie] Thug mi geall do d’ mhàthair. Sìth air a h-anam. Nach tigeadh cron ort. – I gave a promise to your mother. Peace on her soul. That no harm would come to you.
[Jamie to Murtagh] Is anmoch an uair, a ghoistidh - Late is the hour, oh godfather.
[Murtagh to Jamie] Agas Claire? Am bitheadh i na banntrach, air a treigsinn? Tha do cheann sa bhrochan.Tha do cheann sa bhrochan. – And Claire? Would she just be a widow, forsaken? Your head’s in the porridge (you’re not thinking straight). You haven’t a single thought for her.
[Jamie to Murtagh] Chan eil smaoin agam ann ach oirre-se. – I haven’t a single thought of anything but her.

hey! of course i’ll write they/them! i’m bi, so i definitely support lgbtq+ baes <3

25. “All up, that went well. Right, Y/N?”
“YOU’VE BEEN STABBED, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!”
29. “Did you just kiss me?”
“Was I not supposed to?”
“I don’t know, but could you do it again?”
31. “Valar, are you alright?”
“*groan* I will be … in a few thousand years.”
Type: Imagine
Pairing: Legolas x reader
Summary: Y/N is training to become Captain of the Guard, and she must accompany Legolas on the quest to Mordor
Warnings: ‘fuck’
Word Count: 1063 words
All non-English is in Sindarin.
Y/N sighed. They glanced longingly at young ellith (female elves) and ellyn (male elves), and wished, not for the first time, that they didn’t have to be in Imladris. Sure, the Last Homely House was a beautiful place, and they loved being out of Taur-nu-Fuin (Mirkwood) for once, but their reasons for being there were ... inexplicably adorable.
And therein lay the problem. Also the fact that they were training to be Captain of the Guard, and was doing a pretty bad job of it.
“Y/N! Tolo ar nin! (Come with me!)” the problem spoke, running up to them.
Y/N turned, and was met by the infectious smile of Legolas Thranduilion that few besides Elves were treated to.
“A, Legolas. Am man? (Hi, Legolas. Why?)” they responded, folding their s/c arms.
“Because,” Legolas said, breaking the Sindarin and not even letting his smile falter at Y/N’s apparent unenthusiasm. “You’re accompanying me, you should meet the Fellowship.”
“The what?” Y/N asked, a hand on her sword.
“The Fellowship of the RIng - four hobbits, a wizard, two men, a Dwarf and two Elves! That would be us.”
“Sounds like a bad joke,” they said warily.
“Alright, Y/N, come on, lighten up!” Legolas nudged them. They just scowled back.
“Fine.”
Legolas watched the h/c edhel (gender-neutral term for Elf uwu tolkien we love u) go first in front of him, and now that they couldn’t see him, he finally dropped his smile.
Why were they so cold and serious?
---
Y/N growled in frustration as they cut down yet another Orc ladder thrown haphazardly upon the battlements of Helm’s Deep, slashing at the Orcs that remained on the wall.
“Y/N! Gimli! I’m on nineteen!” Legolas called somewhere. Y/N’s keen Elvish ears picked up his score and rolled their eyes.
“Ion e suni (son of a bitch),” they muttered, yelling back, “Twelve!”
Some sword cut into her - a shallow cut, though it stung annoyingly. Y/N quickly pressed a s/c hand to the cut, drawing it away with a hiss as red blood soaked into it. They wiped their hand on their armour - no time to stop in the middle of a battle.
Y/N stared at the blood, and cursed themself. (A/N - i am so sorry is that pronoun right?) Elves were supposed to be so talented and strong in battle they never bled - and Y/N had just proved that wrong. They channelled their anger into the fight and realised with some semblance of satisfaction that they fought better this way.
However, none of that mattered when Y/N heard a familiar voice give a growl of pain.
“Legolas!” they shouted. “Legolas, mi van le? (Where are you?)”
“Y/N!”
They rushed towards the source of the noise, recklessly swinging their sword around them, making Orcs cut them a wide berth. Panic shrouded their mind, and even as they saw dead familiar bodies all around them, and Aragorn crouched over the body of Haldir of Lorien, they could not shake their purpose form Legolas.
After all, they tried to reason. I am the Captain of the Guard. It’s my duty to try and help my soldiers.
Y/N skidded to a stop around the spot where they had heard the cry, looking around for Legolas.
They found him ... and their s/c skin paled rapidly, all the colour leeching from their face. He was still fighting, still remaining strong, but in an evident moment of distraction, he’d allowed himself to be sliced shallowly by a sword, and an arrow was embedded in his forearm.
“Legolas!” Y/N yelled, lunging for him, defending the stubborn elf, who was evidently tiring, with a newfound vigour.
“Y/N,” he breathed, noting their technique as he fought beside them. “You will indeed make a good Captain of the Guard.”
“That won’t matter if we never get back to Taur-nu-Fuin,” they replied shortly, sparing their remaining concentration on Legolas with a painful concern.
“Wait ...” Legolas said slowly, pointing at something Y/N couldn’t see. “It’s dawn.”
Just as he said it, a loud call of a horn sounded, bringing with it more hope and energy.
“Gandalf!” Y/N said, grinning. They stopped when Legolas grimaced, though the Orcs had fled to meet this new force. “Legolas, are you all right?”
“I will be fine,” he assured them. “Gandalf is here.”
Together, they looked out from the battlements, out from the carnage, and saw the arrival of a new army to absolutely demolish the Orc force.
“Huh.” Legolas leaned more heavily against the walls. “All up, that went well. Right, Y/N?”
“YOU’VE BEEN STABBED, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!” they yelled, itching to give Legolas a well-deserved slap, but refraining themselves as they inspected the wounds. “How did this even happen? You’ve bled, like, once.”
“I was shot, not stabbed. I was distracted,” Legolas grumbled, unwilling to admit that the distraction had been Y/N.
They attended to the cut first, bandaging it up tightly, and then turning Legolas over, wincing at his groan as they ran their fingers around the edge of the arrow.
“I can’t take care of this,” Y/N announced, pulling Legolas to his feet. “I’ll take you to a healer.”
Legolas scrunched his face up as he stood, attempting unsuccessfully to ignore the pain.
“Valar, are you alright?”
“I will be … in a few thousand years.” Legolas groaned, but still managed another endearingly sweet smile. They smiled back, giving a tiny laugh at the joke and hooking Legolas’s arm over their shoulders and gesturing with a head movement which direction to walk.
---
“Thanks, Y/N,” Legolas grinned, arrow freshly pulled from his arm and bandage replacing it. “You didn’t have to go to all that trouble.”
“Nah, it wasn’t trouble,” Y/N shrugged, sitting next to him and cleaning blood off their sword. “Besides. It was the least I could do for one of my soldiers.” They smirked teasingly.
Legolas raised an eyebrow. “Ooh, getting ahead of yourself, aren’t you? You’re not Captain yet.”
They elbowed him. “Just you watch me.”
“Oh, I fully intend to,” Legolas said, and then took Y/N completely by surprise and kissed them.
Y/N turned red from head to toe, reluctantly pulling away after a couple seconds, gasping. “Did you just kiss me?”
“Was I not supposed to?” Legolas asked.
Y/N bit their lip. “I don’t know, but could you do it again?”
Legolas leaned in again. “Of course.”
Thanks @amanemisamisa! i’m getting round to the rest of the requests soon!

puia ‘wife’ < *potnih2 ‘wife, mistress, lady’ (well-attested in Brugmannian, e.g. Gk pótnia, ʃkt pátnī-, Lith. patì ‘wife’, viešpatni ‘mistress, lady’) - allegedly via *punja > *pũja, which looks like something out of an exceptionally difficult Albanian dialect and really needs more examples to be promoted to a sound law, and feminine *-ih2 doesn’t seem to be present in Anatolian.
apa ‘father’ < *h2ep- (cf. Gk áppa, TA āp, Alb. apë, Arm. dial. ap’i ~ ap’u) - “This may be a nursery word, but sound correspondences are regular.” Maybe so, but it’s still a nursery word - although cf. the treatment of PN Attila for what people do with those. Readily loaned if ostentatiously ethnic American YA lit is any guide, which it isn’t, unless the Tuscan dice were made by some obnoxious Sandra Cisneros type - it’s not like politically motivated patronage was entirely absent from the vicinity of Latium!
papa ‘grandfather’ < *papa (cf. Palaic pãpa- ‘father’, Gk páppos ‘grandfather’ - as above
mini ~ mene ~ mine ‘1SG.ACC’ < *h1mene - seems reasonable, so it’s at least, like, half Mitian. This form totally disagrees with Anatolian (Kloekhorst’s *ʔmmúǵ / Melchert’s *ámmu- / *emú- > Hitt. ammuk); can internal reconstruction demonstrate which side innovated? Bizarrely, Albanian agrees with Anatolian here - *uǵ (cf. Hitt. ūk) > Alb. u-në.
mi ‘1SG.NOM’ - as above, but note that there’s no ego or uk form here, so either we have unlikely analogical extension or Etruscan branched off before the innovation of *eǵ ~ *eḱ ~ *uḱ ~ *eǵóh2 ~ *eǵh2óm.
en, e, ein, ei ‘not’ < *n̥ / *ne ‘not’ - if *VNC > *ṼC > VC as in etera and puia, why *VN# > VN? (Forni also lists nur-φ < *numr- < *h1n(e)umn, with a bizarre *-mn and *mn > mr as in Aχmemrun ‘Agamemnon’) And this would require unpacking of a syllabic sonorant; cf. HLuw. na, Lyd. ni-d, Lyc. ne ~ ni.
-m, -um ‘and, also; weakly adversative enclitic coordinating conjunction’ < *-mo (cf. Hitt. -ma, Palaic -ma, Lyd. -(u)m, Lyc. me, TB mant, Old Irish ma ‘if’, etc.) - seems reasonable if the Lydian form can reasonably be connected to the CV forms elsewhere
mlaχ, mlac, malak ‘good, beautiful’ < *mel- ‘good’ or *mlh2-((e)k-) ‘soft’ (cf. Hitt. malisku- ‘weak, light’, Lat. melior ‘better’ or Gk malakós ‘tender, soft’, malakíōn ‘sweetheart, Lith. míelas ‘nice, sweet, dear’, Hitt. mīu- ‘soft’ > ‘gentle, pleasant, agreeable’) - an Italic connection here seems difficult enough that this isn’t too objectionable
husiu-, huš(u)- ‘child, young’ > *h2(e/o)ms- ‘to beget’ (cf. Hitt. hās- / hass- ‘to beget’, hāssa- 'descendant’ etc., HLuw. hasu- ‘family’, Luw. hamsa/i- ‘grandchild’, Lyd. eśa- ‘offspring’) - Forni says *homs-i- > *hũsʲ-, but what’s the outcome of *h2 supposed to be? Cf. apa < *h2ep- and other *h2-initial nursery words, although without direct evidence from Anatolian (or Indo-Iranian? or Albanian???) this could be mechanical reconstruction of *h2e for marginal but present *a. OTOH, see below.
ar- ‘to make, do’ < *h2er- ‘to prepare, put together, fit’ (cf. Hitt. āra ‘right, proper(ly)’ - Again, what’s the outcome of *h2 supposed to be - and why is the Hittite form vowel-initial? Wiktionary says the laryngeal was neutralized before *o (really?) and connects Gk. harmonia. Middle Persian ahlabōb and ard do not show initial h-.
sren ‘image, picture’ < *h1es-ri- ‘to be’ (cf. Hitt. ēsri- ‘image, shape, statue’) - Not an entirely ideal match.
ais ‘god’ < *h2eis- ‘to seek’ / *h2eis-d- ‘to worship, honor, respect’ (cf. Oscan aiso- ‘god’) - I’m not sure why Forni wants the *-d- root extension here, but given the precise match with Oscan a loan can’t be ruled out - and, once again, what’s the outcome of *h2 supposed to be?
avil ‘year’ < *h2ei-u(-o)- ‘a long time’ (cf. Lat. aevus ‘period of time’ - -il is a productive suffix, so Forni segments this av-il, compares Etr. Uni to Lat. Iūnō for j > 0 / _u, and notes Lemnian avis. But surely an Italic loan can’t be ruled out?
There aren’t that many candidates for cognates here, and aspirates (aside from Tarχun < *-h2- and final -χ ~ -c), ś (aside from husiu ~ hušu), and z (speaking of which, if z was /ts/, why wasn’t nefts written nefz - or was it?) are entirely absent. Forni provides some tentative etymologies with these, though:
cauθa ‘sun, sun-god’ < *keh2u-to- (presumably something like pre-PIE *qəχʷta-) - no good sound law for the emergence of the aspirate
ceχa ‘above’ < *ḱed ḱr̥ (cf. Hitt. ketkar ‘on top’) - Forni objects to the loss of final *-r, but couldn’t this be vocalization? Between this and cauθa, maybe *d > *h1 followed by *HT > Tʰ; cf. IIr. *TH > Tʰ, sT > Tʰ in Tsakonian and some Spanish dialects, and Fortescue’s proposal for the emergence of ejectives from various clusters in Itelmen
farθ(a)n(a)- ‘to generate, beget’ < *perh3-i-tV- + Etr. -an - *p > f? Forni also lists fan- ‘to decree, declare’ + *bheh2-, far- ~ har- ‘inside, to enter, to penetrate’ < *per- (also trying to bring in peras ‘crossing’, but you can’t have both), and huš- ~ hus- ‘boy, child’ < *put-(s)lo- (not *h2oms-i-?) and if Etruscan is only para-IE it’s likely that it preserves contrasts that IE lost. But it seems like you’d need *forh3-tV- here for it to have any hope of regularity. (Surely not *f > *p in Proto-Indo-Etruscan > PIE, but *f is a good enough cover symbol for an unlikely correspondence in whatever form - if it pans out, maybe *pʷ.)
tuθi ‘community, people, village’ < *teuteh2- ‘people’ (cf. Hitt. tuzzi- ‘army’, Venetic teuta ‘civitas’, Umbrian tuta ‘town, society’) - an Italic loan can’t be ruled out, but the aspiration is difficult. Are there any other examples of *eu > u? Maybe *t(e)ut-h2- could work.
1. Soren
Is shown to be a reasonable leader that cares about his crew a reasonable amount, helped by the fact that he shown to be about excessive age, unlike Jesse who’s age is ambiguous possibly committing tox to Soren from what could be a adventuring - young adult age to excess - see below,
for how tha
t affects the story,)

- Jesse
Soren does not remove Jesse from his property despite it causing seemingly distress to him
- if Jesse acts kind (or if hearing anyone (particularly the order) responds kindly to him), Soren will react with disbelief, If tox, he will excuse it beyond any healthy measures ‘ha a joke…as what friends do,’

Then there’s this line,
“I’ve found when you give people what they want they turn on you, they become resentful,” - Soren
And

impl
ing there is something that’s
actually wrong
and we quickly find out
why
(I’ll go over the particulars about why
Soren might not be excited to see
Eligard & Magnus on site in their sections
)
Point being,
It doesn’t take long before it goes
tox
at the
cave,
- Eligard (or whoever is left of the Eligard or/ Magnus pai
ring) takes
a pot shot at
Soren
,
Gabriel, “is he always
like this, “
Eligard/Magnus; you have
no idea,
(When Soren goes out for a
break due to distress
& after
the death
of a
friend,)
,
- Ivor immediately tries to take the reins
after makin

problem
(And his main

You can clearly see things going

(Then there’s the in famous Ivor scapegoat scene
showing that even back then
he was

)
And the rest is just Ivor

- with Magnus at least you could argue he could’ve originally intend to fill some role if you squint,

New
Order
~
- Jesse - Despite being a leader, Jesse seems resentful of his leadership and constantly makes up things - ideas on the spot that no leader would leave to the last minute and would’ve already planned in advance/have a general idea of, showing how the game mechanic damages a actual good story
- His first mission is a find the person mission, not unheard of for a supportive subordinate character. However as a leader, it can come off as unnecessarily authority assuming, if not handled correctly, which unfortunately it wasn’t 1) By having this occur after a ‘break up’ in which several members isolated, placing this around excessive age 2) most of the members are reluctant to get together
Resulting in Jesse coming up as nagging or irritatingly intrusive.
As a leader,
There are two main goals,
(To be
considered
a
good
one)
1. Attention to
th
e
mis
s
ion,
- With the psychological benefits teammates receiving prop stimuli
Jesse constantly waffles,
resulting in reasonably irritated

2. Tending to your Team

How about he still has plenty of time micromanaging
the
one
thing
you
don’t
want
to
do,
An argument can’t break out without Jesse
interject
Showing that he has no trust in his
team
mates to be able to resolve their own
conflict
Then again it comes from the person who is the worst role model/sets the worst example

- Lukas
Likely the victim of Axle’s
Tox,
Lukas falls into most of the pitfalls that
Soren does, not standing up for himself
and possibly leaving (even for a short time) when the tox gets too much
- Olivia
Pretty
non tox
Some implied self-esteem issues with her place in the group constantly asking questions to validify it

- Axel
- Openly scares his friends
and takes pleasure
from distress
- Humor doesn’t come from

Despair
it comes from

Lukas)
