I honestly feel like nobody in lotr mentions how fucking weird Legolas is. He stays up pacing the floor and singing to himself in the dead of night. He deadass stares straight into the tree line in the absolute pitch black when no one else can see anything. He yells goodbye to a river he has heard about in songs. He's so strange and not one character mentions it AT ALL. I absolutely love him.
A few weeks ago I read a LegolasxOFC fic that made my obsession with elves resurface. (thank you @entishramblings for writing some of the best fics I've ever read..)
Soooo.. I said to myself, "Hey, wasn't I obsessed with elvish and tengwar in highschool? That was cool, so why don't I go back to it again?"
Then it lead to a lot of scribbling and eventually looking into Sindarin for, you know, fun. And now...
Gosh I just love book Legolas. He's immortal. He's a teenager. Elrond picks him instead of Glorfindel because he's average and won't draw attention to the Fellowship. He's the comic relief guy and resident Little Shit, but he can also shoot a Nazgul out of the sky in the pitch black like a one-man elf anti-aircraft defense system. He wants everyone to know that he's, like, really old. He forgets the task at hand because he wants to look at trees. His greatest qualities are that he can become friends with anyone and his loyalty is unending. He shows up to Valinor a century late with Starbucks in hand and his dwarf bestie at his side. Iconic.
You know what gets me? The prophecy is that Merlin will help Arthur build a united kingdom where magic is free again. But at some point Merlin completely disregard the prophecy in favour of Arthur.
When Arthur finds out he's born of magic, Merlin reminds him magic is evil so that he may live without burden or ager.
When Mordred is dying, magic is evil because if we heal Mordred with magic he'll kill Arthur.
Magic and Albion are not part of the equation anymore. Arthur comes before anything else, even the prophecy itself
