As much as I want them to be together as fast as possible bc I'm too impatient for a slow burn, the idea of there not being a gigolas confession until after they sail to valinor is the funniest shit to me, just like
Legolas: Dad, Mom, I have a problem. I think I have a crush on Gimli
Thrandruil: You mean the dwarf you illegally smuggled into elf heaven?
Legolas's mom: because the thought of you two being parted was too unbearable, even after all your other friends had already passed?
Legolas: ya, anyway, do you think he likes me back?
Legolas's mom: do we think... that the dwarf who agreed to sail across the sea with you, to a home full of elves, forsaking the rest of his time he had with his kin on middle earth to escort you to a place of comfort so that you may be at peace when he dies, likes you back?
Legolas:...
Legolas's mom:...
Thrandruil: I swear I didn't raise him to be this dumb.
I’ve heard many songs. So many. But this lyrics verse is by far one of the deepest ones I’ve ever heard.
“Gone now are the old times
Forgotten, time to hold on the railing
The Rubix cube isn't solving for us
Old friends, long forgotten
The old ways at the bottom
Of the ocean now has swallowed
The only thing that's left
Is us, so pardon the silence
That you're hearing is turning
Into a deafening, painful, shameful roar”
-Ode To The Mets by The Strokes

I find it fascinating that they let Legolas go on the journey, because speaking in terms of politics, letting the only known Prince of Mirkwood go on a life-threatening journey to Mordor, presumably, without letting the king of Mirkwood know, is batshit insane.
Random elf: my Lord, are we sure about this?
Elrond: Yup. Because if he does die and the mission fails, Thranduil will kill us faster than Sauron will.
I am so insane about the Job arc.
God says, "I will destroy Job's children," and Aziraphale says, "How did he wrong you?"
God says, "I will destroy Job's children," and Aziraphale says, "How will you make it right?"
God says, "I will destroy Job's children," and Aziraphale says, "Gosh, I don't doubt you know what you are doing and all, but maybe we could slow things down a little and talk about this? And it's essential to the divine plan? Are we sure?"
Crowley says, "I will destroy Job's children," and Aziraphale looks him in the eye and says, "No, you won't."
1933, I’m screwed I got hitler and the Great Depression how fun…
Something I just want to bring up.
I’m watching The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies and when he’s saying goodbye to the dwarves, he says, “Don’t bother knocking.”
And I know that’s meant to be: “You’re welcome to just walk in and take a seat and hang out.”
But really, when we watch their introductions, they all ring the doorbell to show they’re at the door. Except. EXCEPT Thorin. He specifically knocks. He’s the only dwarf who does.
So in this essay, I will say:
Bilbo wants to keep in contact with the dwarves, but. He knows if he hears a knock at the door, he will assume it’s Thorin every time.
But when he’s older, he’s bitter when Gandalf knocks at the door. Most likely from forgetfulness and the Ring, but a piece of him remembers the feeling of why he doesn’t like knocking.
What say you?
