BAHAHAH I LOVE THIS

I get people asking me how I recovered from everything my parents put me through.

And there are a lot of answers but there’s one I haven’t told anyone yet.

It’s the fact that I genuinely gaslit my way through.

Internally I became the most egotistical mother fucker, I would flex in the mirror for ten minutes after spending all day killing myself in the gym, I’d compliment myself all the time, I was like “those guys don’t like me? Who gives a shit? Not me, I’m awesome”

And it worked, still does.

I just stopped caring about the things that upset me, and now I’m a bit better.

I got to meet.

Stephan Hunter and Lloyd Owen.

Aka. The actor of Bombur from The Hobbit and Elendil from Rings of Power.

Now I am about to absolutely rant about getting to meet and talk to these guys in a follow up post, and yes it was at Supernova.

YES EXACTLY 😂😂

But I also find the idea funny of the romance perceived in the movies is just Thranduil’s view, he deadass thinks his sons in love with Tauriel then he pops up with Gimli years later lmao

As much as I like the Hobbit movies in their own right, I love the books a lot more.

So when I’m writing Legolas and Tauriel by choice into my fics, I have fun with it.

Cause screw ‘high and mighty awesome Legolas’ that’s not who he is, he’s a childish little twink who falls head over heels in love with a Dwarf.

I also like fixing his and Tauriel relationship. In my stories Legolas follows her around like a little duckling, he follows her lead when they’re outside the palace.

She’s fixing her bow in front of the fire while his heads in her lap, whining about how weird and overbearing his dad is. He’s glancing up at her whenever he’s talking to someone new, waiting for her nod of approval.

They are Exasperated Big Sister and Autistic Homeschooled Little Brother fr and I fw it.

Do you ever think of the fact that Gimli knew Ori well enough to be able to recognise his handwriting after years of not seeing him?

Do you think about one night, Ori, Fili, Kili and Gimli are out having drinks or something before they leave to join the Company, joking and promising Gimli that they’d be back soon to tell him all about it, how they couldn’t wait to see him again but in Erebor.

Do you think that Ori and Gimli sat together, alone. The Princes voices no longer filling the silence.

Then Gimli sat alone.

I’m gonna draw this 🤫🧏‍♀️

Poor Ori 🤣🤣

Thorin checking barrels for his burglar: Bilbo?? No? Shit

Please feed me any Hobbit or LOTR fanfics, please, I need something to energise me before work and I’m running low

Witerwy me gang, never found something more true

always torn between "this is fanfiction, it doesn't need to be 100% realistic" and "if i get even a single fact about this obscure thing wrong, i am going to be violently killed with hammers"

never forget when saruman literally told gandalf "you've been smoking too much weed bro"
