The funniest part of the LOTR movies is Legolas. This man has like five lines total across all three movies but sometimes they'll zero in on his face during a big scene and he's having the BEST reactions. It gets better when he's in the back of a shot judging everyone around him. Orlando Bloom was doing the MOST
i maintain that Orlando Bloom does his best work when he has no lines

like this is the face of a wizard who's doing EXACTLY what he loves to do in life T-T

iconic parts of lord of the rings that sadly didn’t make it into the films:
- Frodo and Sam getting into a fight about rope
- Gandalf and Aragorn tag-team sassing a convalescent Merry about the location of his pack
- the massive intra-Fellowship fight about how fair or unfair it is for people to be blindfolded
- “DO AS YOU PLEASE IN YOUR MADNESS! I WISH TO SEE NO EYES!”
- Legolas coming all the way from Mirkwood to deliver bad news and get bitched at by Glóin
- Bilbo’s passive-aggressive notes to his annoying relatives
- Aragorn and Éomer leaning on their swords to take a break and chat in the middle of a fight (twice)
- Saruman appearing out of nowhere and harassing the Three Hunters like a DND random encounter
- the disco ball/oil slick/sequin robes
- basically every time Ioreth or the Master of the Houses of Healing says anything
- Pippin jumping into his bath and soaking literally everyone
- Bilbo’s song about Eärendil and Aragorn trying to gently point out that some topics of conversation are Sensitive
- Frodo deciding that the best way to be inconspicuous is with a loud obnoxious song about when the Moon got drunk
feel free to add your own
- Legolas sassing everyone in the snow and being extra af because he could walk on it while Aragorn and Boromir were ploughing through
- he literally calls them otters because they’re “swimming”
- Sam’s occasional poetic flights, including a really bangin’ rhyme about Tom Bombadil (I choose to believe) fighting a troll
- Lindir mocking Bilbo’s poetry
- The fact that Gimli and Eomer kept up a running feud about whether Galadriel was fairest in the land and Gimli literally threatened to kill him right up until Eomer was like, “Arwen’s more my type” (No one tells Aragorn this, presumably)
- Sam secretly passing information about Frodo and the Ring to Merry, Pippin, and Fatty Bolger
- The four of them revealing to Frodo that he is Not Good At Keeping Secrets From His Friends and of course they know it’s dangerous and are going to help him anyway
- Sam nailing Bill Ferny in the face with an apple
- Barliman Butterbur delivering Gandalf’s letter whilst babbling his fears of the wizard’s impending wrath
- Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth, badass knight, eligible bachelor, and the only person on the Pelennor Fields who knows the ABC’s of First Aid and figures out that Eowyn is still breathing.
- Quickbeam, the young hasty ent who babysits Merry and Pippin during the Entmoot because he’s already made up his mind to help
- Gimli geeking out over the glittering caves of Helm’s Deep.
- All of Faramir’s interactions with Frodo

My aunt and I are re-reading The Fellowship of the Ring together. We haven't read the trilogy in a VERY long time (like 10 years for me, back in 8th grade. It's been over 30 years for my aunt).
One of the recent chapters we got through was "Many Meetings," where Arwen first appears. I tried to draw what she looked like based on this description:
Her lace cap was a bit tough to figure out, so I based my depiction on this take by MirachRavaia on DeviantArt.
I wanted to give her sleeves, but since the text specifically mentions her arms, I opted to give her sheer/lacy sleeves to get the best of both worlds. I think that helped balance out the simpler dress to the more elaborate headwear.

It's been too long. We're watching the Figwit Documentary tonight.
@lesamis hell the fuck yes
And for those of you following along at home, that's Taika Cohen as in literal pre-fame Taika Waititi. Also pre-fame Jemaine Clement. Rhys Darby isn't on camera but he was also at the fringe that year so you know he's there in spirit. So is David Fane.

book!Aragorn is much more fun if you embrace him and enjoy him as the diva princess; who, despite being a hero of Man and the one true king, somehow still manages to have a way too good opinion of himself, that he is.
For a guy with such an impressive track record, it'd be quite a feat to be too full of himself, to give himself too much credit, but book!Aragorn manages it.
This is a PSA: brought to you by Hama the Door Warden.
#hey we've all got duties and constraints on our freewill it's totally not a sexism thing that all your duties are picked for you#and are the ones that never get any credit or renown!#you just stay behind and if everything fails then you'll get to fight at the end when all hope is lost#and there's nothing but for you and your people to be destroyed in a futile last stand!#like calling the lady of the shield arm a fair “thing” to be given away!??!#eowyn#you dodged a bullet there#and he's got form#when he first met#arwen#< prev tags#lotr#aragorn

book!Aragorn and film!Aragorn would go into a pub together, and film!Aragorn would spend the whole night pretending he doesn't know who book!Aragorn is.
#.... remember how book!Aragorn demanded special treatment for his special sword in Edoras? movie!Aragorn would've been so embarrassed#he'd be like no i don't know this guy#yeah we have the same name. weird coincidence
I can see them outside a club together, book!Aragorn insisting that he be allowed to skip the queue, or get in despite not being on the list or fitting the dress code, and film!Aragorn cringing so much that the bouncer just lets him in out of pity.

AU where the Ent wives were indeed living in the Shire, so when Saruman arrived there to make mischief he immediately got his shit wrecked by yet more walking talking trees
