Hi! Who’s your favourite LOTR character? <3

estel-of-the-eyrie:

…. This is so difficult; I KNEW someone was going to ask this one! But I love thinking about this, so here we go:

first thought? Aragorn. (I may or may not have a type with dark haired men with stubble who are sassy…) He was perhaps the first character that I appreciated and respected when I watched for the first time.

Second thought? Boromir. Initially, naive me hated him – and I can’t believe I ever did. True, this was because I hadn’t really looked into the books and the background of his character before I was 13-ish? But now? I will defend my Gondorian Son with my LIFE. There’s a whole lot more here, and I would rant (which someone is also able to ask me about) Plus I feel like I have a bit in common with him, and tbh he’s probably inspired personality etc.

Honourable mentions: Eowyn and Haleth (from the Silmarillion) – badass women who inspired me to not take shit that I don’t have to; Gimli – strong and dedicated companion and one of the main reasons that I take more steadfast ways of dealing with everything (This may or may not be why the title for When The Road Darkens is what it is…)

Oh shit. I’ve picked 4 human characters and 1 from the other races?
Rosie Cotton! Esp. her portrayal in @determamfidd ’s Sansukh (especially in the Scouring of the Shire – “Brave and Clever” and I am quoting here!) Also Sam Gamgee for pretty much the same reasons.

Elves? Idk I don’t really have strong feelings towards any? I mean I appreciate Legolas and Thranduil and Galadriel, but. I just feel detached from them all so it’s kind of more difficult to relate to them. Ah well.

~*~

I’m bored, so ask me a question – any question! – to distract me from revision!

ESTEL AAAA THANK YOU!! *hugs and snugs* you delight, I am so HAPPY you like what I did with her!!

Welcome to the Logan pain train, Dets. We turn crosses into Xs here.

oh god pop I am still scouring AO3 i am still so screwed up by this movie, I need all the fixit fic, I need INTERPERSONAL BONDING AND GROWTH AND ANGSTY, GROWLY ROADTRIPS 

I need Logan teaching Laura how to live out in the Canadian wilderness with all the enhanced senses and deep-in-the-blood stuff and ohgod Weapon X coming up in conversation and she gets it, how can she not

and i need Charles to read her ‘the Once and Future King’ and accidentally saying ‘groovy’ now and then instead of ‘fuck’ BECAUSE HE IS NOT DEAD EITHER DAMMIT

and Logan learning Spanish from Sesame Street and he is FINE AND DECIDEDLY NOT DYING, he teaches Laura to hunt and can’t explain to her why he calls everybody ‘bub’ 

(bc i firmly believe that he punched his way out of the ground like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill like, two weeks later)

sad knife dad and his tiny murderchild and their dotty brainweapon grandpa

OKAY THEN @ivoryandsalt BCI AM STILL THOROUGHLY BROKEN, SO YES I AM ON THE CASE HERE WE GO 

 

Blood of My Pack by PAW_07 (WIP)

Logan doesn’t recover as quickly at the small clinic Laura dragged him to. It is just enough time for his half-brother to find him. Victor will help Jimmy if he wants the help or not. They are blood no matter how much they fight. Only problem is … he gets a feral niece with the packaged. Well, everyone is kind of feral in his pack, honestly.

Where the Wild Things Are (Donde Viven Los Monstruos) by aworldofmyimagination (WIP)

Fix-It Logan Road Trip AU. Featuring attempted snow camping, Logan doing his best to learn Spanish, and the long, long drive to Eden (with several pit-stops on the way).

The Well by Healah (WIP)

Laura was perfectly happy with not wondering and keeping her eyes planted firmly on the path to Eden, but if she could ever look back and wonder, she would have believed in two possible outcomes: either they would all die, and the last of the mutants would die with her, or else they would all live, as Eden as their veritable sanctuary, where sunlight glimmered through tall trees and there were cool blue rivers where water always ran. (I LOVE THIS ONE, I AM WATCHING IT LIKE A HAWK)

You Are The Blood by menel (WIP – nearly finished)

Logan finally knew what it meant to die…except he didn’t.

A post-Logan fix-it. Full spoilers for the movie.

home is where love is by Enterprising (one-shot FLUFF)

It’s not easy, being on the road, but sometimes Logan’s able to give Laura the slice of apple pie life neither of them have ever had.

the bravest thing i ever did was survive (for you) by rredhoods (One-shot)

He would keep her safe; that would be his redemption. Not to help nurture the bright flame of the future, but to stand vigil. To safeguard it, until his next dying days.

Gimli: I wasn’t that drunk last night.
Aragorn: You were flirting with Legolas last night.
Gimli: So? He’s my boyfriend.
Aragorn: You asked him if he was single.
Aragorn: And cried when he said he wasn’t.
