thinking about gimli laying on his back over the green grass of the gardens legolas tends to dearly and devotedly, the soft gilded light of the sun shining through the leaves of the trees they planted there so many springs ago, shaded by their canopies, snoring lightly.
So at peace, taking a nice nap, surrounded by all the things Legolas loves. He can appreciate and find tranquility in them because loving Legolas taught him how.
thinking about Legolas feeling cozy near the fireplace, secure in the little home gimli made for them. The cold rock of the wall, nice and cool against the skin of his palm, carved masterfully and beautifully by the expert hands of his beloved.
and he's at peace, too. He feels safe and calm in the quaint loveliness of their abode. He has come to love and recognize the work of art ingrained in the carefully laid stone. And he thinks how it wouldn't be possible for him to adore such a place if it wasn't for Gimli.

Had an absolute vision of a dream last night that one of the episodes of series 5 starts with Alison about to drive somewhere, and for whatever reason, the Captain was sitting in the passenger seat. They got outside the gates and the captain didn't disappear. This causes them both to freak out, and the Captain freaks out so hard that his soul or whatever regresses and warps time for a second, and Alison has to slam on the brakes so they don't crash. When she looks over at the Captain to check if he's okay, there's a little girl in the seat.
Turns out the Captain is trans and he could leave the grounds bc for some reason he was connected to a locket in his pocket which was a gift from his mother that had his deadname inscribed on it (I don't remember what it was; maybe Elizabeth?). The picture on the inside was one of those typical victorian family portrait photos from when he was little.
The episode then becomes about Alison finding out more about the Captain's life and them finding members of his family's graves and people who are still alive, like younger siblings or nieces/nephews.
The B plot was all the ghosts freaking out that the Captain had been sucked off bc suddenly he's just not there and they don't know what to do! It was still so recently that Mary left them and now the captain too?! 😭
Anyway I know it makes no sense that he would randomly become attached to a locket that's always been in his pocket when we've seen him be unable to pass through the gate before, but this was a dream so whatever 😖 Trans Captain is now canon in my head and my heart so 💕

Mercedes, taking a deep breath : Ok. Dorothea, I have a favour to ask. Can I flirt with Edelgard to make Byleth jealous ?
Dorothea, after visibly short-circuiting for a few seconds : ... *takes a deep breath and holds her clasped hands in front of her before letting it out and pointing her hands to Mercedes* This is wrong on SO many levels. First off, making your crush jealous has to be number one in the top ten of stupid ideas. Why don't you just talk to her ? Also, why MY Edie ?!
Lysithea, holding her head in her hands to fend off a headache : Dorothea, for the tenth time TODAY, you and Edelgard are NOT dating. No matter how big your crush on her is, and how big HER crush on YOU is, even if she still doesn't realise it, she's not YOUR Edie yet.
Dorothea : STILL ! Gals before pals, girls ! Mercie, you know that !
Mercedes : All valid points. To answer your questions, I've tried pretty much everything else to get Byleth to understand my feelings, short of pushing her against a wall and kissing her that is, and since it could be considered sexual assault on a professor if it goes wrong, I'm not going to risk it. And I'm asking for Edelgard specifically because it would be VERY easy to find flirty comments to say to her ; if Byleth weren't there, and if you hadn't called dibs, I think I would have tried my chance with her.
Dorothea, standing up and slamming her open palms on the table : YOU STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY WIFE-
Lysithea, screaming to the high heavens : FOR THE LAST TIME, SHE'S NOT YOUR WIFE, YOU'RE NOT EVEN DATING !
Edelgard, at the other side of the dining hall, watching the three girls make a racket while talking to Hubert : I wonder who that girl Dorothea has a crush on is.
Hubert, who's heard Dorothea say "I love you" to Edelgard more times than he can count : I have no idea.

Oh, wow. The contrast between past and present... the parallel confrontations... that’s intense. And very cool.
Baby Amity doesn’t quite look angry, but she’s definitely frustrated. She doesn’t seem concerned at all for her friend’s feelings, only for herself.
If she does feel bad, she isn’t showing it.
Meanwhile, faced directly with the memory of what she did, present-day Amity looks almost... resigned. She’s been trying to avoid this memory, but she can’t hide from it any longer.
On the other side, Inner Willow is furious on behalf of her past self, who was abandoned and deeply wounded by her only friend over something so insignificant as her magical ability.
Even if she was able to make new friends, this loss has been weighing on her for a long time. And she’s had enough of it.
