Hello person- I must say I love reading your lil fanfics always keeps me busy when It's in the middle of the night and I can't sleep lmao.
If I may, if you are still accepting requests- A Legolas x reader, where the reader isn't aware of a custom that elves have about braiding their hair and basically just accidentally confesses to him when they get bored one day and just start braiding his hair and only finds out when the Fellowship congratulates them for confessing or something along those lines hehehe
Tumblr media
Legolas x reader
words: 1930
google docs pages: 3
warnings: none? fluff :D 
opening: One day while you’re bored, you begin to braid Legolas’ hair, unaware of its meaning to the elves. It’s only later, when you find out the message behind it. 
AN// Thank you so much for this request, love the idea! (this also gives me a reason to not write the other ideas I've been putting off xd) idk if this is a little ooc, but I hope it’s okay^^ It’s also lovely to hear that you enjoy my work!^^ Reader can be any gender !
         “A time for congratulations?”
It hadn’t been long since you had joined the fellowship from Rivendell, like most of the others had too. The only one you knew better than the others was Legolas. Him you had met more than a few times in the past, mostly as an accident, but you did genuinely enjoy his company. You’d never admit it to anyone in the group, but you were happy that he had been the one from Mirkwood to join. You heard it had been his father who had suggested befriending Aragorn to him, and it was when Legolas had begun to look for Aragorn that he had met you. Aragorn you had only met a few times, and back then only knew him as “strider” like most. The others you had only met when the Fellowship had been formed, but all of them had seemed okay. 
Now, trailing behind Legolas, you examined your surroundings silently. Old trees with roots going all across the forest blocked the view on your right and on the left only a few trees were growing, enjoying the sun they were able to get. The trees on the left casted dark shadows on the almost non existent road you were walking on. Gandalf had seemed to be very certain that there was a trail going here, but you weren’t so sure. But since no one else had doubted him, you had decided to just follow along. At least you weren’t going to get lost alone.
As your gaze moved from left to right, amazed by the sturdy old trees, being able to stand for such a long time, you noticed Legolas turning to look at you for a moment. It was only for a split second, but it made you humm to yourself. Perhaps he was happy to see you too. It was rarely that you could spend more time with him, mostly just short bump ins every now and then. He was a prince, and probably had a lot to do.
The group seemed to have noticed the darkened shadows of the trees, and decided to set camp for the night. The sun seemed to be setting, making the casted shadows even darker before the sky would begin to follow along. Spreading the darkness of the upcoming night all over.
You had agreed to take the first watch shift of the night before anyone could steal it from you. You’d rather stay up late and go to sleep than wake up in the middle of the night to take your turn. Boromir and Gimi seemed to have collected some bigger pieces of wood and some sticks that Aragorn had been able to set on fire to create a campfire. Legolas, you and the hobbits helped to bring some rocks and logs around the fire so everyone could sit. Sam had requested if he could make something to eat, and surprisingly enough no one had disagreed. The start of the night seemed to be going smoothly. 
As Sam had begun to cook some kind of a soup or a stew, everyone else had spread around the fire. Some were fixing up their weapons and others just talking. You swore you had seen Merry and Pippin bothering Boromir too. You on the other hand had found a spot close to the fire. Most of the ‘seats’ had been taken, but that just allowed you to sit closer to the warming flames of the campfire. Legolas had seated himself near you. You could hear him lowering his bow and the quiver against the log he was sitting on. Other than that and the quiet talking, the only noise you could hear was the mixing of the soup Sam was making. Sometimes the ladle would hit the edges of the saucepan, causing a small noise to break the silent gaps.The moon was only a half, but since there weren't a lot of clouds in the sky, it was able to shine its light all over the forest. At times it felt like time had stopped after the sun had started to go down, and was still shining some light over the fellowship. It was only the cold night air that let you know it indeed was almost time to go and rest. 
You shivered under your clothes, pulling the cloak closer to you, making sure it was properly over your shoulders. Something rustled behind you, and soon another cape was placed over you. A small ‘huh?’ left your mouth as you turned to look who it was. Legolas clipped the front clip shut so the cloack wouldn’t fall off of you. “You seemed cold.” He said, smiling slightly as he sat back down. “I- Thank you.” You said, still confused by the gesture. “Aren’t you going to be cold?” You then asked, feeling bad if he’d have to freeze because of you. The elf laughed lightly at your question and shook his head. “Elves can tolerate the cold better than humans, therefore you should keep it.” He explained to you. 
You had never really thought of how different you were to him. Sure, you were friends with him, but you had no idea that the elves could tolerate the cold better than humans. Maybe you’d find out something else about him as the fellowship continued. This had to only one from many things that made elves so different from you. 
You noticed that the faint light of the moon made his almost white hair look magical. The usually well braided strands of hair had opened up from the fighting the group had gone through with a few orcs earlier that day. You had noticed that the prince usually kept his hair well done, but maybe he hadn’t noticed yet. 
Not being sure if you’d embarrass him if you pointed it out, you got up and sat next to him. You weren’t an elf but you had gotten your hair done before and over the years learned how to braid hair in different styles. So without another word, you took a hold of one of the half opened braids and began to undo it completely. Legolas seemed to have tensed up for a moment and you felt his eyes on you, but to your surprise he soon turned his gaze away and let you continue. 
You braided the first strand of hair, pulling it behind his ear the way you’d seen him usually have them. After starting to fix the other one, you felt another pair of eyes on the two of you. With a quick look you found out who it was. Aragorn was sitting on the other side of the campfire with an amused look on his face. Not understanding what he had found amusing, you kept on working on Legolas’ hair. The prince’s hair was smooth and easy to work with. Humming to yourself, “you have lovely hair.” You said quietly, seeing the man shiver, but saying nothing about it. You were enjoying the moment, getting to feel closer to your friend for once. The warmth of Legolas’ cloak and the fire kept you warm and protected from the gusts of wind. The smell of the soup Sam had made was good, and it felt great to know you were going to be eating something that not only would taste good but also would be warm. You felt like you had only been eating bread and apples for such a long time. 
You finished the other braid and mixed it in with the unbraided parts of his hair. “Both are fixed again.” You hummed mostly to yourself but out loud so Legolas could hear it too. You felt his eyes on you for a moment before they moved to Sam, when he handed the both of you a bowl with some steaming soup in it. You thanked the hobbit with a nod, and began to eat. From the corner of your eye, you caught Aragorn telling Gimli something and them both silently laughing. Trying not to pay no mind to the conversation, you couldn't help but to wonder if it was about what Aragorn had found so amusing earlier?
After that night, many more passed. Some worse and some just as good, but what kept everyone going was the mission and the people in the fellowship. Legolas never mentioned anything about you braiding his hair, and he even let you do it once or twice after. But after every time, it felt like more eyes were on the two of you. It was first only Aragorn, then Gimli joined and soon even Gandalf was in on it. At times it felt like even Legolas knew what was going on. 
After some time of you being oblivious of what had been going on, you decided to bring it up. You had so many theories of what they could have been up to, that you just had to find out. Making your way from the back of the group to where Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli were, you prepared yourself. “What are you hiding from me?” This got the attention of the three, all of them slowing down their walking speed a little. “Whatever do you mean?” Legolas asked, giving Aragorn a quick look, almost as if he was trying to tell the man something. “You all clearly have been sharing a rumor or something along the lines of that.” You replied, but didn’t get an answer from anyone for a moment. “You should tell them.” Gandalf’s voice rang from the front of the group, clearly also aware of what you were talking about. “It isn’t a rumor per say.” Gimli started, looking at Aragorn for a moment, hoping he’d take it from there. You saw Legolas look away, not taking part in the conversation. “We wished to congratulate you on confessing to Legolas.” Your eyes widened for a moment, and without even wanting to, a “what?” Left your mouth. “They weren’t aware, Aragorn.” Legolas finally joined in, looking at his friend. “What is this all about?” You tilted your head. “When you braid his hair. See, to elves it has a significant meaning behind it.” Aragorn tried to explain. Your hand traveled over your mouth, clearly shocked. “And you didn't think to tell me?” You blushed slightly, smacking Legolas’ arm lightly. He stopped, taking a light hold of your hand to pause you as well. “I wanted to explain it to you but I found that..” He tried to look for words for a moment, and you let him. “I found that I cared for you that way, and I wasn’t certain if you had found the meaning yourself...” His eyes met yours again, after traveling for a moment. You stayed silent, not even noticing that the rest of the fellowship had also stopped near the two of you. “But I am aware that I should have told-” Legolas broke the silence but you stopped him before he could finish. “It’s all okay. I feel similar.” You admitted, looking away for a second. “Is this a better time for congratulations?” Gimli’s voice asked from behind you as Aragorn walked closer as well. “Yes, yes it is.” You smiled and turned back to Legolas. His eyes looked at you with admiration in them. “Gi Melin.” (I love you)

Hi!! Can you write something fluffy between Legolas and a female human reader? Even though Legolas has been around for a while, he is always watching the reader because he wants to learn about her little quirks and customs. The reader is always like “uhhh Aragorn why is he just staring” but Legolas reveals that it’s cause he finds her cute and wants to get to know her more while they’re together on the fellowship :)
Little Quirks ~ Legolas x Fem!Human!Reader
A/N: Ahh I missed writing for Legolas haha!! At this point he is like a major part of my life lmao <33 Ngl this took me longer than normal? Maybe I got a little rusty during my little time off haha rip but yeah here you go I hope you like it!!
⇢ ˗ˏˋ Warnings: fluff ࿐ྂ ⇢ ˗ˏˋ Words: 1.3k ࿐ྂ ⇢ ˗ˏˋ Request: Yes (thank you <33) ࿐ྂ ⇢ ˗ˏˋ Meleth Nin ~ My Love ࿐ྂ
Summary: The elven prince for some reason couldn't stop staring at you, which in return made you confused and very curious, as to why his eyes were constantly following you around.
Tumblr media
Legolas tilted his head to the side, smile gracing his lips, as his eyes focused on the way you polished your weapons to perfection. The dagger in your hand reflecting the bright fire in front of you, while you rubbed a cloth against the handle. A few gems were embedded into the metal, giving it some colour. You can’t quite remember when you got the dagger, but you knew you would be incredibly upset if you ever lost it. Holding it out in front of you, you inspected it for any kind of grime or dirt that still could be there. While doing so you notice that the elven prince has been staring at you for quite a while. He always seems to be staring at you, no matter what you were doing. It not just confused you, but also made you feel unsettled to some extent. “I hope you don’t mind me taking up the space beside you.” Aragorn said, as he made himself comfortable on the log beside you. His sword was on his lap, as he began to clean it off of the dried blood from the battle of a few hours ago.
“Of course not.” You placed your polished dagger into the leather holster that was secured on your thigh, before grabbing your own sword to take care of it as well. Taking a quick glance towards Legolas, you notice that his attention was now on Gimli, who seems to be mentioning one of his stories to him. “You know the elven prince well, right Aragorn?” You asked him, while running the cloth against the metal. “I wouldn’t say that I know him well, but I do know him longer than most of the fellowship do.” He sat his sword aside, before turning towards you. “What is on your mind?” “Well, I have noticed that he always seems to be watching me, no matter what I do. Like for example last week.”
Standing in front of the pot, you stirred it with the wooden spoon before adding a few more leaves. Normally Sam would be the one in your place, however you insisted to take his place for the night and make everyone one of your favourite dishes. You added in the few chopped vegetables you had prepared earlier. Noticing a certain gaze on your figure, you looked up from the dinner you were making. Legolas smiled softly at you, before lowering his gaze from you. You didn’t think much about it, until you took another glance into his direction and caught him again.
“Is everything alright Legolas?” “Yes, of course.” He said, his eyes never leaving you once. After a bit of more stirring, you poured a little of the stew into the bowls, before handing them out. Walking over to Legolas, you sat beside him before giving him his own food. “I really liked the song you hummed.” You tilted your head to the side at his statement, not really understanding what he meant. He noticed your puzzled expression, smiling gently at you. “You were humming while you prepared the dinner.” “Oh- I did not notice.” A soft embarrassed blush dusted your cheeks. “I hope it did not disturb you in any way. I normally hum only at home but I guess I was so much at ease that it just happened.” “Like I said (Y/N), I really enjoyed it. Maybe you could teach me the song sometime.”
“That does sound completely normal to me. He just enjoyed the melody.” You huffed at Aragorns statement. You knew that this sounded like it was nothing special. But it was not the only time you caught him staring a little longer.
You were standing in front of one of the many stalls of a small town. The fellowship decided to take a quick tour through the closest town, in order to stack up on some essentials needed for your travels. Of course, you tried to focus only on things you really needed for the journey, however the shiny jewels from the table beside the one you were currently browsing through caught your attention. “Welcome young lady, what can I do for you today?” You gazed upon the silver and golden necklaces that were laid out in front of you. “How much would that be?” You asked the merchant, holding up a golden bracelet, that had a little heart charm attached to it. “Around 30 coins.” You bit your lip in thought at his answer, only having so many coins in your little pouch. “I will be thinking about the offer, thank you.” Putting the bracelet back onto the table, you made your way towards another one. This one sold various items like books, as well as scrolls, bags, pouches, brooches and other little trinkets. Taking a beautiful hand mirror into your hand, you looked at your reflection. You noticed a familiar elven prince in the background, who seems to be looking into your direction. Tilting your head, you stared back at him through the reflection.
After a while of staring back at him, you put the mirror back onto the table and decided to approach him. As soon as he noticed you, a smile graced his lips. “Have you already gotten everything you needed?” He asked you, as you stood beside him. “Well, not really. But I have been wondering something else.” You tilted your head to the side as you mustered him. A smile was still present on his lips, as he mirrored your movement. “Why have you been staring at me again?” “Have I?” “Yes!” At this point you believe he was mocking you. You caught him through the mirror and he still tries to deny it. “I think you are mistaken.” He said, giving your shoulder a soft pat before joining Aragorn at one of the stalls.
“And what if you really were mistaken?” “I was not! Aragorn, I know that he has been staring at me not just those two times! He stares at me while I eat, while I talk, while I polish my gear, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was staring at me now.” The both of you turned towards the elven prince, who in fact was looking at you once more. “See? I would just want to know why he does it.” Aragorn let out a lough at your desperate sigh. “I am pretty sure that you will get your answer very soon.” And with that he stood up and left you alone.
After finishing up polishing your weapons, you decided to approach the elven prince once more to try and get answers to your questions. “Hey Legolas, can we maybe talk?” You asked him, while taking a seat beside him. “Of course, what is on your mind?” “I have noticed you were staring quite a lot at me. Is there a reason behind it?” A chuckle left his lips, as he grabbed your hand gently. Warmth spread over your cheeks at the soft touch. “I really enjoy watching you (Y/N). Not in an unsettling way! I just love to see you react to specific things. Or how your eyes shine when you find something you like at one of the stalls. Or how you just sometimes have that little jump in your step when you are really excited.”
Your face was red, as you nodded to each of the words that passed his lips. “I think your quirks are so interesting and so cute. You always catch me off guard.” A smile graced your lips, as you squeezed his hand. You didn’t know he felt so drawn towards you. “For example, right now. Your eyes are shining brighter than the stars above.” His finger graced your warm cheek, as he brushed a strand of your hair behind your ear. “I want to get to know you more and understand you better with every passing day.” “I will only allow it, if you let me study you as well.” You answered boldly, earning you a laugh from Legolas. “Of course, Meleth Nin. Anything that your heart desires.”

Tumblr media
ARAGORN:
is a little quiet at first, but not awkwardly quiet
remembers what you had told him about your family and then brings it up in conversation with the
very very respectful
offers to help with anything and everything, from cooking to cleaning or fixing something
your family thought he was initially just a little odd, but they warmed up to him very quickly
he’s invited to every family gathering right away, you insist that he doesn’t have to come if it’s too much, but he really wants to
💐
BOROMIR:
brings them flowers and a fancy drink at least
wants to bring even more gifts but you reassure him he’s already doing enough
he’s an absolute favorite among your younger siblings/cousins, they don’t want to let him go
and it warms your heart so much
he praises you in front of the family and makes you blush
they all liked him immediately and he was super charming and easygoing, you were the more nervous one
💐
FARAMIR:
not gonna lie, he IS stressed out, but you reassure him he’s perfect and has nothing to worry about
literally practices how he’ll introduce himself and all that
he manages to accidentally fumble something, but it’s a perfect ice-breaker because everybody is laughing
they love him instantly, even if he’s initially a bit quiet and awkward
he was going to bring them some little present, but he forgot
eventually gets so carried away talking and having some deep discussion that you almost fall asleep by his side
💐
FRODO:
simultaneously he’s a nervous wreck, but also knows that he generally makes a good impression on people
runs his hand through his hair a million times to make it look neater
offers to help with the food even though it’s not his strongest suit
asks a lot of questions after he gets comfortable, and listens with interest
accidentally takes a short nap after the meal and is SUPER embarrassed
but nobody takes it the wrong way, it just becomes an inside joke that runs forever
💐
GIMLI:
lots of gifts for everyone. EVERYONE.
you think it’s too much but he just really wants to make a great impression
you’re important to him, so, your family is too
they bonded so quickly that they almost forgot that you were also there (oops lmao)
lots of laughing, and they would be asking him to retell some fun adventures you had together

💐
LEGOLAS:
you know the charming, charismatic elf that he is? well, you can forget about that, it seems
he feels extremely awkward, no idea why
regardless, your family likes him immediately, even if they do consider him a bit strange
you try to carry the conversation most of the time and he’s very grateful for it
eventually when he gets over himself, he will be very communicative and pleasant
your family asks him a bunch of questions; they’ve never had a guest like that before!
💐
MERRY:
charming and witty as ever, also brings flowers
fits in right away, as if he’s always been a part of the family
they all think he’s hilarious and can’t get enough of his stories
he wants to hear the stories about you when you were a small child (and will use the new information to poke fun at you for eternity)
compliments everyone and everything, loves all the food
also invited to all the family gatherings and events henceforth
💐
PIPPIN:
is nervous, but hides it decently well, or eases it through humor
really wanted to bring a little gift, but forgot
accidentally knocks something over or trips or something like that, but you all just have a laugh about it (he blushes)
he likes to talk about how great you are, so he will definitely comment on that in front of your family too
okay, maybe they did think he was a little too chaotic or immature, but he has a heart of gold and they know it!
you will overhear them commenting on the way he looks at you and how good he treats you
💐
SAM:
brings a half of his garden as a present: flowers, vegetables, you name it
maybe even he cooks/bakes something and then brings it over, then blushes at the compliments
they all love him immediately (who doesn’t!)
loves to listen to your family’s stories about you
offers to help with washing up
a younger sibling/relative of yours asks him something like “when are you going to marry [Y/N]?”
💐
everything taglist: @starlady66​ @lotrnonsense​ @lazyoswald​ @entishramblings​ @thesolarangel​ (ty all for wanting to be tagged and reading my stuff <3)

Okay but the Dunedáin. They've been roaming the western wilds for years and years. And then Aragorn goes off and gets himself made king of Gondor, huzzah ring the bells sound the trumpets etc.
But.
The Dunedáin. Do they all go to Gondor with him? I feel like that's the implication of things. But like...do they all want to? And if/when they do, how does it go?
(There has to be a significantly higher number of them than the 30 we see represented by the Grey Company, too, right? Like even assuming the addition of wives-elders-and-children to those numbers, there has to be a much larger population than that if they're maintaining a population. Even with intermarrying of the other locals. Like, even with Magical Noble Lineage going on to keep things from getting wonky, they can't be interbreeding that much or else everybody would be an Heir To The Throne Of Gondor by now lmao. Those 30 have to just be a fraction of their folk. The "good riders and good warriors who could be gathered on quick notice" fraction.)
Is everybody excited to leave their lowkey wilderness-with-the-occasional-vacation-in-Rivendell existence in favor of the Fancy Shiny White City Full Of Other Humans? The Dunedáin have been living like this for hundreds and hundreds of years. It's not just a "we spent a few decades in exile, but taught our kids Our Ways to preserve them, so they'd be comfortable when they went home" situation. They've been living like this for so long that this is their way of life. This is their home. And now they're supposed to just pack-up and go to Gondor and be fine?
And how do the Gondorians react to having not just a new king, but a new king who brings along a whole bunch of scruffy Rangers for his retinue? Are they welcomed eagerly by a people who've just endured great loss of life and need hands to help them rebuild? I mean tbf probably at first, sure; but how long does that welcome endure without starting to cool when these Rangers prove to be not just Gondorians From Elsewhere Who Nonetheless Act Just Like The Rest Of Us And Know Our City And Its Ways As Well As We Do? Because they don't! They don't even know which hall is used for banquets and which for dancing! They don't know that on Aldëa we wear carnë! and so on.
(Do they all just go to Ithilien with Faramir out of sheer what-the-fuck-am-I-going-to-do-in-this-bigass-city-ness?)
Yes they're all of the Blood of Westernesse and all that, shared Numenorian heritage blah blah blah...but imagine you've been living off-the-grid in the forests of Pennsylvania, and all of a sudden you're dropped in the middle of NYC and told this is your home now, enjoy? How weird would that be? How bizarre, how overwhelming?
Maybe you like it, maybe you thrive there! Maybe you find that Gondorian Civilization is what you've been looking for all along! But what if you don't? What if you find you really hate crowds, and the politics of the city are stifling, and you didn't spend the last seventy years travelling all over Middle-earth learning everybody's ways and culture, thanks, and frankly you'd rather be back in Bree making small-talk with simple farmers and Hobbits, where everybody knows your (nick)name and you're comfortable? Even if you do like it, even if this is All Your Hopes Come True, it's still got to be enormously disruptive. And if you don't...yikes.
(Again, sure, there's Ithilien. But even though that wild-land-recovering-from-the-scars-of-the-Enemy would be more familiar ground to you than the city itself, and Faramir is a great guy and all, Ithilien still isn't your home.)
Like...you don't get to just go back, do you? (Do you?) Maybe but even if you do, even if some of them did, their way of life is still kind of broken; because most of your fellow Rangers are in Gondor now, and you aren't even allowed into the Shire, and the Enemy you've been guarding folks from all this time is gone...
And sure, it's good! This is a good result! This is the Best Case Scenario Ending, really!
But still. What about the Dunedáin?

The Fellowship and their favorite Classic Frat Party Bangers™️
Frodo
No Hands by Waka Flocka Flame
This is pre-Ring Frodo, ofc
Y’all remember how he was dancing at Bilbo’s birthday? Yeah dude def likes to get down
I just feel like after he’s had a few drinks in him and this song comes on, he grabs Sam and loudly says “OMG ITS MY SOONNGGGG!”
Can sing the whole song with no breaks (just like me fr)
Sam
Everything by Pitbull
Sam actually doesn’t really like the music they play at parties. He thinks some of the lyrics are crass
HOWEVER
One time this song came on at a party that Rosie was at and she danced with him the entire song. He has not stopped thinking about it since
The next day he went straight to Merry (the Pitbull expert) and asked him what the song was called and then he immediately went and bought the song and listened to it everyday for the next two weeks
Now he requests it every time him and Frodo go out just in case Rosie is there
Pippin
Shots by Lil Jon
He is the Snooki of the Shire let’s be real here
Loves lil Jon. Thinks he’s a lyrical genius
He’s always up on the damn tables and the bar
“IF YOU AINT GETTIN DRUNK GET THE FUCK OUT THE CLUB” and Pippin took that personally
Spills his drinks on everyone. Gets into a verbal altercation bc of said spillage. Merry comes in to back him up. Now Frodo and Sam have to break up a fight
Merry
Hotel Room Service by Pitbull
Pitbulls no. 1 fan
Right up there on the tables with Pippin
Gets sooo hype for “WE AT THE HOTEL MOTEL HOLIDAY INN!”
Also spills his drinks but not as much
Has in fact been decked in the face for asking a girl if he could take her back to the hotel room for some *service*
Aragorn
Pepas by Farruko
This man has never gone to a party of his own accord. He has only gone just to make sure that Merry and Pippin don’t die
BUT once he’s got a few drinks in his system and this song comes on, he’s ready to let lose
I feel like he would love the Spanish songs (he can speak fluently I just know it)
Does his own lil dancy dance while Merry and Pippin cheer him on
Legolas records it for when he’s sober and they can all laugh about it
Legolas
Hips Don’t Lie by Shakira OR Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado
Oh he defff likes the “girlier” songs
Once he has enough in his system to get that lil tingle in his hands, bro is right in the middle of whatever dance circle formed around him
That man LOVES to flip his hair all over the place like he’s really got his hands in his hair feeling the music and everything
Learned all this from his father I just know that Thranduil made sure his son was properly educated
Gimli gives him shit for the entire night
Gimli
Get Low by Lil Jon
Oh bro definitely likes to get low
His drunk self gets SO HYPE when this song comes on
Climbs right up on the table with Merry and Pippin (falls off soon after)
The rest of the fellowship watches in absolute terror as he tears up the dance floor
Gandalf
Danza Kuduro by Don Omar
Will he dance? Who knows
But one thing for certain is that his heart is filled with so much joy watching the Hobbits go absolutely crazy for this song
He thinks it’s so fun and endearing watching them dancing and enjoying the night
It’s one of those simple things that he loves so much. Watching a group of friends enjoying each others company and celebrating their friendship with music and dancing
You know what he WILL dance let him get in the middle of that silly little circle
Boromir
DJ Got Us Fallin In Love by Usher
He may be daddy’s favorite, but being daddy’s favorite is stressful
At the end of the week, he just wants to cut lose and get drunk
And drunk he gets
He just likes to feel the musiiicccc
Has never gone home alone LMAO

What soft love songs the Fellowship dedicate to you (and why) <3
In the mood to make myself cry, plus I’m in my ‘i was i wasn’t lonely’ phase of the night.
Pulled most of these from my notes app lmao, and i listened to each one while writing, I highly recommend giving them a listen!
GN! reader, mostly you/your used :) (Obviously some songs will involve specified gender, please correct as you need, and remember that these characters would absolutely make these changes as well)
Tumblr media
Frodo Baggins - Hopelessly Devoted to You - Olivia Newton-John (Grease)
He definitely has the distinct memory of the classic slow burn moment of “Oh. Oh.” happening, where he realises just how much he loves you. He knew he was head over heels, and he looks at you like you hung the moon. And if you sing it to him- UGH😩💙. IN LOVE, HE SHALL BE. He probably hums it a lot when doing work or writing. Of course, the lyrics are quite relatable to him. Frodo has this internal belief that the person/people he love/s can’t love him nearly the amount he adores them. He was willing to sit around and wait on you, in the hopes that you would see him in the same way. His brain knew he should just move on, but he couldn’t let go, and he’s glad he didn’t. He’s so devoted to simply loving you.
“Hold on to the end, and that’s what I intend to do. I’m hopelessly devoted to you~”
Tumblr media
(gotta appreciate that me looking up his name resulted in a bunch of po-tay-toes memes. anyway. back to the hcs)
Samwise Gamgee - Hello, Hello - Elton John ft Lady GaGa (Gnomeo & Juliet)
He’s a sucker for meet-cute stories, and would unironically love this movie, even setting aside this banger of a song. The moment he saw you, he felt captivated by your beauty, whether or not the meeting went well or if you fell on your face. The song is just so cheerful and wholesome. He probably told you that the song reminded him of you, and that sparked the romantic relationship. Every time this sequence plays he’ll just look at you (if/when you watch the movie). PLEASE SING THIS AS A DUET WITH HIM AAAA. (He isn’t Elton John, but his voice is lovely 🥰)
“Hello, hello (Hello, hello), my, my, my, what have we here?”
Tumblr media
Peregrin Took - I’ll Be - Edwin McCain
Honestly it’s hard to explain this one. It’s just so soft and sweet and really describes how he feels about you. Also as the youngest and a, quoting Gandalf here, “fool of a Took!”, the line “and I’ll be, better when I’m older…” is just- MWAH. This song reminds me of him honestly. He is, as the song states, “your crying shoulder”, the “greatest fan of your life”. Everything about you takes his breath away. We all know he’s the best singer in the fellowship, and its just gorgeous to listen to him sing it, especially because he means every word. He also probably dedicated this to you early on in the relationship, and it was definitely your wedding song (if you got married).
“I’ll be, better when I’m older. I’ll be, the greatest fan of your life~”
Tumblr media
(tumblr needs more Merry gifs istg-)
Meriadoc Brandybuck - Nothing - Bruno Major
Honestly you wouldn’t expect such a lowkey song for such a high energy guy, but he’s a sucker for lazy days and sweet moments. He’s, as he likes to say, ‘work-avoidant’, and just wants to spend all his time on you. He also finds the song easy to sing to you, so thats a plus. The lyrics just resonate with him, similar to my picks for Pippin and Frodo. He’s very competitive, but he honestly doesn’t mind losing to you. He pretends like romantic or soft movies don’t make him cry, even if they do. He gets the appeal of going out and drinking and laughing, but just staying at home with you just sounds so much nicer to him. Its all about the little things in life with him, the small moments, the laughs, and every ‘I love you’ that makes him feel lighter than air.
“Dumb conversations, we lose track of time. Have I told you lately? I’m grateful you’re mine~”
Tumblr media
Aragorn - Dark Red - Steve Lacy
He knows how dangerous his work and life is, and he’s always had this fear of leaving you behind (hence the ‘something bad is ‘bout to happen to me’). He only sees you in his life, no matter who else is wanting for his attention, he’s so devoted to you. He only hopes that you’ll stay by his side and fight with him, and he’s not willing to give up on you. No, he refuses to give up when you are involved, and he fights so hard to keep you safe and protected. The song also is easy to mumble to you when he’s tired, and it’s soothing for him to listen to. It’s just a symbol of how much you mean in his life, and how he trusts you with his heart.
“Only you, babe, only you darlin’, only you~”
Tumblr media
Legolas - Lover - Taylor Swift
Unabashed Swiftie in general, but this song just hits different. So first off he probably already called you his lover, and when he found the song he thought it was perfect. I can definitely see him learning guitar and playing this song for you as well. Into the actual song analysis, this song frames his want to be close to you, the mysterious way he was drawn to you, the way he felt like time flew by whenever you talked. Also I feel like he’s made jealous relatively easily, and that’s also in the song. His heart has been borrowed before, but he’s glad he’s ended up with you, to hear your jokes, save you seats, and call you his lover. He definitely likes to sing this to you late in the night, and i can see him humming/mumbling it whenever the two of you just stand and hold each other. Its so wholesome, and he loves the way your eyes light up when he sings it with all the love in his heart, all of it for you.
“You’re my, my, my, my… lover~”
Tumblr media
Gimli - If You Love Her - Forrest Blakk
Honestly, he’s not a very observant dwarf, but he does pay attention to you. He knows you, and he cares a lot. Protective of you to a fault, but just wants everyone to know that they shouldn’t take you or your heart for granted. He hates to admit it, but he thinks you are precious (I’M SORRy-) and every small thing about you is worth taking note of. And he does, so he knows exactly how to make you happier. He’s your personal hype-man, and truly believes that you are the best thing he has ever had. He uses the song as a guidebook on how to treat you, and while he won’t say it, or sing it, he does play this song for you and leave in a huff, just hoping you’ll know this song is meant to say that he loves you. (He might even dub it over with your preferred pronouns for the big reveal, and it’s quite funny)
“They’ll love you, if you love them like that~”
Tumblr media
Boromir - Summer Love - The Workday Release
Boromir really thinks this song demonstrates his feelings towards you, and how he wishes you’d stick around with him. You remind him of the summer, warm, bright and hopeful. It was so simple for him to fall in love (it’s like counting 1,2,3). He’s awestruck by your beauty, and doesn’t find it enough to dream about you, he needs to be holding your hand, feeling your presence. He wants to face the world with you there next to him. You always manage to give him a smile, make sense to him, and be honest. He’s not sure how to articulate everything he feels around you, so he just says that he loves you.
“Surely this is love, this is love, this is summer love~”
WOOOOO IM DONEEEE
Ive been writing for the past 2+ hours and it’s late and I’m tired, but I really hope you enjoy. If you want to request a fic, any fandom will do, I’ll get back to you on it, I promise.
Let me know if you want me to do a Part 2 with some other characters <3 Have a great day!!

Headcanons for Modern Aegon, Aemond, and Jace with a Nerdy S/O
TW: sexual references (in Aegon's lmao)
Jace
-Jace kind of LOVES the fact that you're a nerd!! he loves that you geek out over whatever comic book/lotr/Star Wars movie is coming out next even if he isn't really into them, only a casual fan
-you wanna go to the midnight premiere of the latest captain America movie? he's like HELL YEAH, LET'S DO IT BABE
-genuinely tries to take an interest in the stuff you're into because then you guys will have even more in common to talk about!!!
-he's literally so adorable when he doesn't understand something in the movie, he'll pause it and turn to you and ask you to explain it to him (sometimes he pretends not to understand because he loves seeing how passionate you are when you explain it to him lol sneaky sneaky boi)
-eventually, he gets just as into all of it as you are!! he actually really ends up liking DC comics and begs you to dress as batman and cat woman with him for halloween one year, and you're like okay just as long as it's not joker and Harley bc FUCKKK THAT
-he teases you a lot and calls you his cute lil nerd, but he's never mean about it like EVER, he fucking adores you and if someone else gives you shit about it?? Jace is a nice boy but he's gonna beat a bitch's ass if they give you a hard time
-he even gets you tickets to comic con one year and you go together, he doesn't really care about anything that's going on but he loves seeing you so excited about everything
Aegon
-this boy is an unapologetic NERD, he knows no one can give him shit for it, he's rich and popular, he doesn't have to pretend he don't like Star Wars or marvel or whatever, and if you're a nerd???? he's IN LOVE MAN
-Star Wars is his absolute favorite, like he is OBSESSED
-y'all have dressed as kylo/rey, ani/padme, han/leia, basically any Star Wars couple for halloween
-he even goes to Star Wars celebration every year, before y'all dated he'd go as Luke but now he's like HA I HAVE AN S/O I CAN DO THE CUTE COUPLES COSTUMES
-deadass OBSESSED with the mandalorian, y'all have rewatched that shit so often, you actually get a puppy together named grogu (sunfyre loves him!! cute lil family aww)

-he digs Star Wars roleplay, like if you are into that he will propose right then and there honestly
-cried when Kenobi came out, I will take no arguments for that, he was full on ugly sobbing
Aemond
-likes to pretend he's too cool for all of this, doesn't make fun of you of course but when you find out he's secretly a tolkien/fantasy nerd??? he is sooooo fucking embarrassed but then it's like, hey! you guys can bond over this, it can be your thing!!
-he hated rings of power, y'all watched it and he just fucking ROASTED it the whole time, he's an LOTR loyalist, he was okay with the hobbit but the first one? despised it
-gets you a replica of Arwen's necklace tbh, even if he looks like Legolas he sees you guys as Arwen and Aragorn (Legolas never gets Tauriel, why does he have to be him anyway lmao)
-when he does dress as Legolas for halloween tho you are absolutely feral, he looks so mf good
-he sends you lotr/Harry Potter memes all the time and they're usually really weird and obscure but you love that he wants to share this with you and you do your best to understand them lmfao
-highkey feel like he loves pirates of the Caribbean as well!! he's an unironic Orlando bloom stan lmao but Elizabeth turner and Arwen were his first fictional crushes hehehe
-he love love loves the fact that you guys can geek out together over this stuff, for your anniversary, he wants to plan a trip to New Zealand so you can see where they filmed scenes for the shire and all of that, he's extra af
-he doesn't like making it a public thing though because he's a bit more insecure than aegon, he worries people will make fun of him for it, but if anyone so much as breathes in your direction that you're a nerd and means it in a bad way? nah they dead meat babe

How Each Member of the Fellowship Takes Care of Their S/O with a Chronic Illness • Headcanon
Tumblr media
(Gif not mine)
Request: Could you perhaps make a list or some Headcanons about which LOTR and The Hobbit characters would be the best at taking care of a chronically ill s/o? Or would enjoy having that kind of significant other the most? — @tolkien-fantasy
Warnings: I don’t have a chronic illness, so this is all based on like research and knowledge I got from living with my friend at college so it might be a bit inaccurate/different and for that I’m sorry, I did keep it a bit vague though so... this takes place before the events of lotr
A.N: I swear to god Gandalf is more platonic jlwnljw, I typed “each member” and “s/o” without even thinking about Gandalf’s inclusion lmao, gn!reader, I hope this is done and written well!!
Gandalf
Immediately consults ancient texts to try to find a cure or at least some way to help alleviate the pain or make it easier to go about your day
Because that makes it so he can’t stay in one place for too long, he brings you to Rivendell
There, Elrond and other healers try to help you, and Gandalf tries to visit often
Even if he doesn’t find anything new, he’ll bring you books and maps and other things to keep you entertained
He sits by your bedside often
Let’s you borrow his staff as a walking stick if it’s hard for you to walk, shows you some magic to keep your spirits up
Gandalf genuinely thinks of you as his child and he hates to see you in pain
“I will forever be by your side, dear child, I will help you every step of the way,”
Aragorn
Aragorn will also bring you to Rivendell
Gives you soft kisses to your forehead every morning before locking himself in the healing chambers with Elrond to find a way to help you
Is so excited when he finds something that may help you even a little bit
When you want him to just sit and relax with you he gladly relents
Loves sitting in the gardens with you, basking in the sunlight
When he goes in his adventures throughout Middle Earth he’ll always send letters back to you, mostly describing the land that he knows you wish you could see for yourself
On particularly bad days he’ll pull you close to him and he’ll murmur elven songs to you or tell you stories of ancient battles
“My love I am here.”
Boromir
As the son of the Steward of Gondor, he makes sure your shared quarters are perfection for you
The finest bedding, blankets, making sure everything is within reach of you
Even has a balcony close by for you
He loves sitting there with you, watching the sunset, fingers intertwined on the table top
Will not consult the elves, but has all of the finest healers in Gondor helping you, finding methods that may help your aches and pains
Keeps a guard with you at all times when you go out just in case something happens
You become great friends with other wives of other lords of the lands, and they are such great fun and a great distraction from everything when Boromir is gone
Boromir loves stroking your cheek at night as he whispers to you
“I love you (Y/n). I am so sorry you hurt, I wish I could take all the pain from you.”
Legolas
Oh he totally panics
The bond you share is so intense that he really hates it when you’re in pain, he feel so helpless
But he stays so strong for you
Gets the finest healers, finest herbs for you, learns ways to help you from healers
Anything you need you get, Legolas is a Prince, and he will not rest while you ache
Likes taking small strolls through the Greenwood with you
Picks flowers, has picnics, even reads to you out in the light
Is basically at your command, whatever you need him to do, he’ll gladly do it
“Meleth nîn, how can I help you today?”
Gimli
The dwarf can be gentle when he needs to be
He too brings healers
But Gimli is more adept to make the mountains more accessible to you
Ramps, hand rails, even a makeshift wheelchair when you need it
Gimli is here to help you live your life and his craftsmanship is primarily focused on you
But in helping you, he helps many that live in the mountain
On your bad days he’ll sit with you, with precious gems and he’ll tell you the tales on how he found them deep in the mines
His heart is with you
“You’re resilient, laddie, you’ll pull through”
Frodo
Frodo will try so hard to help, but the Shire is very limited in medicinal skills
He loves taking you to the most relaxing spots to read in the shade of a tree or to dip your feet in the Brandywine 
Bilbo will also be helping out of course, you’re family at this point
The two of you help him with his writing and even start writing your own
Frodo would love to go on an adventure, and while you may not be up to going on one with him, the two of you can pretend
So many nights are spent by the fire, the two of you huddled close together on an old armchair, book and mugs of tea abandoned as the two of you drift off
Frodo may not fully be able to help you, but the spirit is always there
“Sweetheart, we’ll go to my favorite reading spot today if you’re up for it,”
Sam
Sam is just the sweetest hobbit
He’s so very unsure about how to help, but his heart is so big and so full of love at all times
Constantly asks you how he can help
Picks flowers for you every day when he comes back from work
The two of you absolutely have a garden together 
Has a walking stick/other mobility helpers made for you custom 
Is very much by your side whenever he’s able to be, unless that feels too much/suffocating for you, then he will back off a bit
Sam just wants to make sure you’re ok
“Come here, dearest, tell me how I can help,”
Pippin
Pippin is basically still in his tweens so he doesn’t quite understand that you can’t go for a run though Farmer Maggot’s fields or climb the tallest trees in the Shire
But he’s there for you nonetheless
Will always entertain you with stories and gossip from around the Shire
Pippin loves resting with you, just lounging in the grass or in bed and just talking, or cloud gazing 
Honestly he just loves being close to you
“I’d do anything for you petal, though I think asking me to stop rummaging through Farmer Maggot’s may be asking too much,”
Merry
Merry will absolutely bring you on boat rides, mostly with a few books
It’s actually pretty romantic
Tries to help you the best he can, but Shire medicine isn’t the best 
Though if dwarves or men happen to cut through the Shire, he’ll ask them for advice 
Always asks you how you’re feeling and how he can help you feel better 
“And just how is the best hobbit feeling today?”

Re4 Remake with Leon Kennedy Actor, Nick Apostolides & Heisenberg actor Neil Newbon and Tom De Ville
i’ll only be taking note of anything that i think is interesting but please watch or listen to the whole stream if you want to know other stuff that happens
WHY DID HE (NEIL) POINT HIS GUN AT ASHLEY TO PUT DOWN THE LADDER SJKDFBSKJFS
neil IS REALLY JUST LEAVING ASHLEY BEHIND SJFDSJKSFBS
neil said *middle finger* BYE ASHLEY
i have a feeling he might not like ashley sjkbdfskjfdbs (he’s probably joking)
nick is not going to back seat game lol
they are going to have a bad time, he (neil) is not keeping track of ashley lmao
nick did blow up ashley and kicked her in the head in his own gameplay
“THAT DOG WAS A FUCKING DICKHEAD” 32 minutes in. neil thinks the dog is a dickhead
34 minutes in, nick says “Leon Fucking Kennedy” in an accent lol
question section starts at minute 41
nick is eating oreos again
one of nick’s favourite leon lines are “the bingo line,” and he didn’t want to spoil the other lines since neil hasn’t gotten there in the game yet
in game mechanics, nick did almost none of the mocap for it. he thinks it was done in japan with another team. (almost all internally in japan) (tbh i’m not 100% what he means by this and it’s not clarified) (EDIT: i think he means that anything that wasn’t a cut scene he did not do any mocap work)
nick does not have final say in anything, he was not allowed to change anything at the end of the day
he was allowed to suggest some lines, but capcom gets the final say
47 minutes, he said he vibes with the re4r team a lot and he said he had a bit more fun with this version of leon. he got more collaborative liberties in re4r
nick had been working for leon’s character for 6 years at this point
he was “allowed to be more of a cowboy” minute 49
he said that the building show he’s working on has helped him a lot with gratitude and how it applied to how he characterized leon as well for re4r
nick has been a fan of re4 for 18 years
neil loves how leon opens doors “it’s unnecessarily flexing,” (it actually reminded me of how aragorn opens doors in the lord of the rings lmao)
neil was born in the 70s lol 1hr01 
actually, yeah why does the photo say 1981???? but it’s like more like 1891 maybe it was an error????
1hr07 nick says “leon needs a shower cap” lol
question section number 2 is 1hr13
nick’s fave is double stuff oreos
nick did not do the round house kick in mocap
nick also did not do the death scenes in mocap, he mostly just did the cut scenes. i guess that’s what he means about the game mechanics he didn’t mocap that
he did the facial and voice over for the death scenes though
nick’s favourite death scene is the axe death with the three cracks at the neck
neil’s favourite is the chainsaw through the chest death
1hr17 nick says “miranda, that bitch.” for trying to do one of heisenberg’s line
neil every few seconds, “ashley’s dead”
omg neil is refusing to sell the fish because neil played gavin and oh god i forgot his KAMSKI in detroit become human and one of the things was you can save the fish in that game so he’s refusing to sell the fish in this game lol
1hr30 “I can also sell Ashley Graham apparently, which is worrying.”
andre (va for luis) got luis’s jacket made!
1hr33 neil “IM GONNA LEAVE LUIS TO HIS DEATH CAUSE HE’S A FUCKING DICK.”
1hr42 neil does the leon suplex
nick apparently died at least four times during the first cabin rush scene with luis
1hr48 nick has a feature film coming sometime in the summer! maybe netflix! it’s called aftermath!
1hr57 nick mocap the guy who got squashed by the door (OH I THINK HE’S LYING LOL)
ASHLEY HAS CONSUMPTION SJFKBSDFKJS
ughhh this stopped before mother would’ve showed up lol but here are more questions!
okay nevermind they had no more questions!
maybe next week they might do another session (never mind they’ll figure it out!)
nick’s next convention is maryland may, 26-27, 2023
he’s going to do more streams with more actors!!!! hopefully lily soon!!!
they raided nicole and andre afterwards! :D

Hey okay here's a decidedly personal question maybe better asked in DMs I dunno anyway here goes.
So like, your wife obviously supports your transition which is fucking awesome. But as someone who's married and enby, I'm just curious like how the past two years have been for you, also in terms of like her (and your I guess) sexuality? Like I'm AMAB and while the wife supports me not being a man and dressing more feminine, she has said that me starting HRT would be kind-of a deal breaker for her (not necessarily meaning divorce because we have kids and stuff but like, she's probably ace but also kinda straight I guess??)
And I obviously don't want to ask reddit and I also don't expect you to solve my problems for me and I'm sorry for oversharing but like, you seem knowledgeable and kind and I am just needing someone to talk or something I dunno.
Also you're cute (necessary mention!)
So I do kinda hesitate to get too personal about my relationship because I don’t wanna like overstep that boundary and share personal details about my wife with the world that she might rather not be shared ignoring the fact I’ve talked about our amazing sex recently lmao but I can share some stuff that might be what you’re looking for.
So unfortunately I can’t really relate to HRT being a deal breaker because for my wife, me being a man who dressed more femininely was VERY unattractive but finding out I was actually a woman completely changed that pov for her. That said, HRT wasn’t like required of course but she certainly expected it. She’s also bi so me being a woman isn’t a problem for her sexuality wise. In terms of my own sexuality, who I’m attracted to never really changed due to transition, and since 99% of those folks are women, in the Webster’s Dictionary sense I went from being straight to lesbian and that’s how I identify. I could maybe go into it more and define my sexuality better than that, but to summarize what I’ve posted in the past my sexuality is basically:
Cishet men 💀
Femme women 🥰
Butch women 🥰
Enbies 🥰
Eldritch beings 🥵
Literally only the following men EXACTLY as described 😘: Jacob Elordi w/o mustache, Aragorn, “The Mummy” era Brendan Fraser, D/Alucard/Astarion/any of those fuckboi vampires, Roy Mustang, Timothée Chalamet Dune and also maybe Wonka
If anyone else who is/was married when they started HRT wants to share their story with anon feel free to reblog and add on :D

Rings of Power episode 3
The 3º ep is so good omg!! I can’t believe I watched Númenor in live action! It looks so good and the theme is amazing!
ELENDIL IS HOT AF! I would scream his name every chance I had, Aragorn uwu
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Watching Elendil and Isildur interact made me a little emotional, knowing how they end :'). They also name dropped Anarion, he exists too!! 
GALADRIEL ALSO NAME DROPPED FINARFIN AAAAAAAA
Apparently Tar-Palantir is still alive?!?! and is locked up?? bestie I will get you out hold on T-T
The Orcs scenes are so damn good! The Orcs look really really nice and they didn’t forget that the sun hurts Orcs! Those scenes are pretty sad too tho .-. 
Some changes in the timeline, like at this time with Pharazon & Miriel, Numenor should be CHAOS and with Sauron already there. The relationship between Pharazon & Miriel should be different too. Like Miriel acts like a King’s Men lmao, maybe she is just pretending?? We’ll see, I can overlook all that for now.

Writing Patterns
Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!
Thank you so much for tagging me @merlinemrys <3
I'm going to ignore drabbles/ficlets for this because I already know they have a pattern in the way that every single line just matters so much and I overthink them even more than the "normal" first lines lmao. That aside, I definitely like to jump right in, and would probably do making some of them a little punchier (the eternal, i cannot be concise to save my life fun times. sigh)
It’s supposed to be a simple deal. [Renegades, stranger things/steddie]
When the messenger relays that Gaius requests his presence, Arthur briefly contemplates ignoring the summon. [like there's hope in this story, bbc merlin/merthur]
When it comes right down to it, it's all Gimli's fault, at least if anyone were to ask Aragorn. [deep down rivers (I'll follow you), lotr/aralas]
I understand why you wouldn't have told me; you owe me a great many explanations, but I understand. [Crooked Trajectory, bbc merlin/merthur]
Merlin isn’t actually sure how it starts. [all the city lights on the water, bbc merlin/merthur]
Arthur comes to with the unsettling feeling of having been woken too soon. [watch all my bridges burn, bbc merlin/merthur]
It is a surprise to exactly no one when the first of their friends to get married are Leon and Mithian. [So Take Me Somewhere, bbc merlin/merthur]
It starts, as things in Eddie’s life often do, with him not thinking shit through. [Eat Your Heart Out, stranger things/steddie]
“God, I used to have such a crush on you,” Eddie says, all casual. [reeling through the midnight streets, stranger things/steddie]
Traditions, Merlin comes to understand early on, are a consistent thread in the tapestry that is Camelot. [darkness in the distance, bbc merlin/merthur]
No pressure tagging: @idlestories @emryses @thefollow-spot @prattery @conkers-thecosy @m-b-w @atlantablack and anyone else who'd like to, just say I tagged you! <3

hELLO do you have any fun specific hopes/theories/headcanons for st5?
HELLO STRANGER 😂
Honestly I am not like super headcanon forward as a watcher because I think I have expectations trust issues from other television and therefore stick to what I can see on screen before speculating, BUT!
Headcanons + some things I would love to see explored (that aren’t just aggressive amounts of pining byler)?
The whole “Will is suppressed in his queerness being attached to soteria/suppression of powers” is like. 11/10 concept imo. It goes along with horror history so well (shout out @pinkeoni for that analysis) and plays so well into the whole relating to “Alan Turing” bit that we were introduced to start of S4, given his history as a gay man.
re, the last point: the contrast in queerness between Mike and Will being explored as someone who shows more blatant attraction to men but struggles to accept it as an identity versus someone who accepts their identity while suppressing their attraction (by outside forces or not) is also a dynamic I think would be cool to explore. I am not an ace Will truther at all but. I do think he shies away from his own sexuality a lot in a way they don’t do with Mike.
I really want “samfro caught on mount doom together while the rest of the fellowship fights an army” byler vibes—something about El and Lucas as Aragorn & Legolas with Dustin (Gimli) and Erica (Merry/Pippin) while Will struggles with feeling alone carrying the heavy burden of a connection to Vecna? Some “I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you” heroism from Mike? El getting a moment to reunite with Max (Arwen) at the hand of Lucas, just like in Return of the King? Fucking mint lmao
I need scenes of Max in whatever place she’s still alive in like I need oxygen. Working from “the inside” to do exposition on Henry + the UD while she’s in a coma while the party sorts through it in Hawkins feels like such a phenomenal writing opportunity I’ll be desperately sad if they don’t explore it. I hope they include some elements of like. The duality of presence a la The Talisman in that given Lucas was reading it to her in the hospital? But 🤷🏽‍♀️
GIVE ME TIME FKERY OR GIVE ME DEATH. I know it’s pretty much guaranteed at this point but. I need Mr. Clarke back stat, with some convoluted ass theory explained on a paper plate again. I need the most elaborate UD reality just, absolutely borderline nonsensical lore for like a full episode so I can watch this series back again and see it from SECOND ONE (or minute 8:15) and giggle like a schoolgirl knowing the duffers really are smart/the haters were wrong.
I want more Wheelers! I know Nancy is central to the supernatural given she was the only other one pulled in by Vecna and not killed—just sent as a messenger—but. I have so many Wheeler and Creel thoughts at this point I don’t know where to start, but. They are the PERFECT family for exploring picture-perfection against horror themes (just like the Creels) and I want it. Like “don’t care how, I want it now” level focus on them, along with their Byers.
I said it before but: an exploration of motherhood as a theme makes so much sense to me, and it seems to be important to The Duffers too, so. I want it.
Kinda want RoVickie as the couple who introduces the idea of the supernatural + queerness v Hawkins element at the start of the season, and for byler to be the ones who “end it.” I think that would be a fascinating way to parallel them more, though…I haven’t much thought this through.
If they don’t make Finn Wolfhard sob his little eyes out this season I’m going to feel betrayed. I need him like. Noah level pressed at least once next season, for the culture (Finn said he wanted to do more dramas. Let him defeat the bad actor allegations here so they let him LMAOOOO)
That’s all I can think of for now! I’m sure there are more, but. Those were the firsts that came to mind haha.
Thanks for the ask!

My celeb crushes have always been late thirties to late 40s/early 50s, even when I was young (like 13 and up - before that it was definitely like a backstreet boy or something lol). I met my husband at 18; he was 24. Never thought it was scandalous but some people have been weird about it! I’m sure everyone says this but there was no impropriety on his part. He was never manipulative or isolating or pushy.
Anyway he’s turning 41 soon and as we age I feel sad he’ll be “old” sooner and I might have 10 years in the end without him. I think about that a lot when reading soulmate-y age gap fics. I’m going to start policing his salt intake lmao.
I’d like to think I could have been into someone late thirties/40s but realistically even this 6 years felt fairly significant, though less so when I was early/mid 20s and he was late 20s/early 30s. I like 28/40 maybe.
my first crush was viggo mortensen as aragorn, he really taught me what a MAN was at my young and impressionable age. i think i’ve just been searching for a real life man to emulate that kingly elessar energy ever since.
but yeah i totally get you, like the thought of what will happen when the person is truly old and you’ve still not gotten there yet is difficult. but then… him in his 40s going all salt and pepper… sexy. i say make the most of it now LOL

No disrespect to the fics where aemond fucks alys bc she looks like luke (I love them) but I’m an aemma-rhaenyra-lucerys mini-me supremacy truther and I just had a thought that it would be sooooo funny actually if they DON’T look similar at all outside of them both being beautiful enough that men go a little (a lot) crazy over them (magic??). Like obsessed aemond seeing how disgraceful aegon acts bc he just HAS to get his cock wet and he meets this strong bastard and is like— idea! if I fuck this strong bastard enough, that will make me immune to the other strong bastard and this way I will not be a cuntstruck fool. surely it will be exactly the same and nothing will go wrong. And alys is like lol sure whatever you say my prince bc she’s a witch and she knows the truth and lives for his suffering lmao. And then. And then. It’s time. And aemond is waiting with the rest of the greens to receive rhaenyra and her family and I want it to be like lotr aragorn reunited with arwen lmao. people sweeping aside until he finally sees lucerys look up at him and no. oh no. he doesn’t look a thing like alys, not really. except the hair and eye colour, he is clearly targaryen… he’s got his mother’s face……. the realm’s delight come again…… oh nooooo…
I’m a firm believer in Luke having a lil bit of magic in him too. He’s got an ethereal kind of beauty to him that attracts people and they can’t place why they want him so much. One look in his eyes and people will do whatever he wants them to. He’s a true siren!
Aemond has tried both fucking people who look just like him and people who look nothing like him. His obsession with Luke remains despite his best efforts. He’s eternally cuntstruck over his nephew!
The fact that literally everyone else is too has him losing his mind 😌
