Please tell me about art and media you know of that accurately captures the weirdness of dream logic and atmosphere and emotions... books and movies and video games and art and comics and YouTube stuff, whatever you want... you know, where it only makes sense on an intuitive level and falls apart when you try to explain it...

The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into practice.

If you consider the story of LOTR itself - and, more specifically, the Fellowship members - in full chronological order including the appendices, the story technically ends with Gimli and Legolas departing from Middle-earth, the last ones left of the family that they found so many years ago, during an age of war.
If the movie trilogy had told the entire tale, the final scene would’ve been the aged dwarf and eternally-young Elf turning away from the tombs of their departed king and two dear hobbit friends from so long ago, walking out of Minas Tirith to the shores of Ithilien, stepping onboard a little ship, and sailing into the horizon together.
Just imagine seeing Orlando and John performing a silent scene like that, perhaps in a long take with a few dissolves and quiet music, to end the trilogy on.
One can dream…

“Fifteen years past, when they had ridden forth to win a throne, the Lord of Storm’s End had been clean-shaven, clear-eyed, and muscled like a maiden’s fantasy…In those days, the smell of leather and blood had clung to him like perfume."
"The boy claimed to be eighteen, older than Jon, but he was green as summer grass for all that. Satin, they called him, even in the wool and mail and boiled leather of the Night’s Watch; the name he’d gotten in the brothel where he’d been born and raised. He was pretty as a girl with his dark eyes, soft skin, and raven’s ringlets."
//
In order:
Orlando Bloom as Young Eddard "Ned" Stark
Jamie Flatters as Young Robert Baratheon
Conan Gray as Satin Flowers
Ferdia Walsh-Peelo as Jon Snow
{Not the best fancast for Young Robert in terms of physical appearance, I KNOW! But he was like 20 and clean-shaven during his Rebellion, and Jamie is 23, soooooo 😅😅💀💀}.
//
Lyrics are The Death Of Peace Of Mind by Bad Omens

Being a newsies fan while watching musicals is realising that almost every musical protaganist has their 'Santa Fe'
Legally Blonde - Elle Woods: Warner Huntington III
The Book of Mormon - Kevin Price: Orlando
Falsettos - Marvin: A tight-knit family
The list can continue further, but these were the three that I noticed originally. Also feel free to add onto the list ofc
