"ohh Thorin Trusts Bilbo Above His Own Family And Kin Because He Just Loves Him Sooo Much Because I Think

So, i was on one of HeyHay's picrew (i think) streams at some point, and asked how tall is Vas. And HeyHay said that Vast is tall and (i don't exactly remember the wording, but) kinda buff.

So, the interesting thing is that relaxed muscles are pretty soft, which makes Vast very huggble

I feel like, considering hobbits size, they all could be muntjac centaurs

(this is muntjac, they are very small kind of deer)

let me play with my little centaur AU, ok? Thorin just found some berries to share!

And, if Vast have bird legs, does he make tapping noises when he walks? Does he even walk? Or he jumps around? (magpies can walk but a lot of time they dont, they just jump) Or, if he walk, does he walk kinda like a human, or in this silly specific way most corvids walk?

So, I'm on episode 11 of sky bound, and as far as i noticed, some avians have bird legs (Vast), and some don't (Sylph), and that's intriguing, like, why exactly

Bagginshield + Frodo out shopping on Black Friday 🛒💨(Lobelia’s nightmare)

I can't unsee it. General Targg is a honey badger.

Don't know if you've gotten this question before, but why did Bhaal throw DU Drow into the Underdark and make him look like... well, a drow (even though he's obviously Not)?

Is there any particular "lore" reason for that or was it just an aesthetic decision you made on a whim in character creation?

I feel like this question can be more accurately answered not by character lore, but by a dramatization of the real life events that took place sometime in late 2023:

"Oh boy here I go play this Totally Legal Copy of the video game Balder Gates 3, but for only exactly the amount of time that it takes until I can find and pet a talking cat, and not a minute longer."

"Okay this must be the Custom Character option since it's the only one that allows me to edit my little guy."

"Nah man I'm in a rush to pet some kitties. Pass."

"Now this dragon they randomized for me is pretty neat but where's the Cool Evil Elf."

"Can I super-size it"

"Oh hell yeah."

"Since I'm not a nerd I better pick the most bone-headed class possible or I will never pet those damn cats."

"I mean the face and hair are fine but this Evil Elf isn't looking very evil to me."

"Much better"

"🤷"

"There I am in some... Weird Scorn-like contraption. Man that outfit is bad, I'm taking that off immediately."

".....Huh."

"I feel like I may have skipped past something important."

"Oh I have the funniest little pout though. Man I can't WAIT to talk to some cats."

Being best friends with Legolas

Headcanons below the cut!

Legolas and you are probably inseparable.

I mean let's be real here, when it comes to friendship, Legolas values it so much.

You're practically family to him.

And you think the world of him.

90% sure as young elves, you two would spend all day in the woods and play tag, practice archery or just run around and laugh about something.

hang out in the trees, swing from tree to tree.

usually you'd instigate the tomfoolery (as Thranduil would point out) and Legolas would just follow you with a soft smile because though he's not very expressive, it's super clear that he loves to just hang out with you.

Yeah, Thranduil ain't too happy about that, though. But then again, when has he EVER been happy after his wife passed away?

It's obviously no surprise that when everyone's gathered in Rivendell at the secret council with Elrond that you volunteered to go with Legolas.

Wasn't really a favored choice, though, considering that Elrond gave you the side-eye and Gimli almost lost his mind at the thought of having to deal with not just one, but TWO elves.

Poor dwarf's wringing his hands in the air, and swinging his axe around.

Doesn't sway Legolas's opinion, he's ecstatic about the fact that not only were you joining The Fellowship to get rid of the One Ring (an important task) but you were going to be able to hang out with him even more?

The past few years the two of you hadn't seen each other since he had been with Aragorn, but this was a prime opportunity!

You'd probably eat Lembas bread with him and chat about how your life has been since you've grown up

Not much time for your usual shenanigans and the dynamic has quite shifted since you were young

Rather than trying to do something for the sake of adventure, you were going on an adventure for the sake of saving Middle Earth.

Yeah, BIG change.

And Legolas, being the best friend you could ask for, would certainly help you along the way, guide you through the quest and still be that kind soul you knew when you were young.

You could tell him anything, and he'd listen intently

your own personal little therapist and he'd listen to you rant about something

and he's ALWAYS interest to hear what you have to say, even if it's in the middle of fighting a bunch of orcs or Nazguls.

Y'all got each other's backs ALL the time.

I mean ALL the time.

When Legolas and Gimli are having a face-off at Helm's deep, best believe you're killing these orcs alongside him

"That's not fair! You can't just add your kills together!" Gimli would cry out

"Ah, but you forget, we're practically the same... one in soul," you'd reply with a cheeky grin.

Legolas would totally grin back as Gimli's losing his mind.

The banter?

Insane.

You're more forward than Legolas, so you're quick to tease Gimli whenever an opportunity comes up. Legolas is more subtle, finding only a few moments to tease the dwarf

but when he does? yeah roasted

Both of you teaming up against Gimli for fun sometimes, hunting together, making plans

Safe to say that when Legolas leaves for the Undying Lands with Gimli, he brings you as well.

Just the three of you guys, on a boat, talking about life and making tons of jokes

Best friends, side by side, with no worries at all.

It's me, Technoblade
