Tiny grumpy redheads on boxes

surroundedbydorks:

There is a lot of scuttlebutt about an X Files reboot right now.  The original is being pulled from streaming and it looks like the rights in general are being tightened up.  Binge while you can.

Anyway, scrolling through tags I remembered that Gillian Anderson is so tiny compared to David that she often was standing on a box during filming.  Hence why she is often standing still. 

Tiny, red headed, grumpy, stuck with the last person she wants to be stuck with…

The other is tall, tends to run off, sees things others don’t …

Please brain I don’t need to plot a Gigolas X Files AU even though the parallels are out there. 

I hope you know it is impossible to read Sansukh without falling boots over beard for Gimli. He’s so attractive it’s unreal. His heart, his words, his character, his skill, his everything. I feel for Legolas, poor sod, I really do — all of the parts of your fic where Gimli appears I simply gaze and admire and love and grin enormously like an utter fool.

GIMLI SON OF GLOIN OMG

So I am p sure I have mentioned at length how much i love this guy. When I first read the trilogy a zillion million years ago, he was instantly my fave. He is all alone, the only Dwarf we ever meet after the Council of Elrond. He is superbly skilled, such an amazing warrior. Aragorn wanted to take him alone, and Sam and Frodo, to Mordor! He is so loyal – so incredibly faithful, it is staggering. AND POETIC, holy shit, no wonder Galadriel gets squiffy. I think I actually cried real tears when I first read the Glittering Caves speech. He feels everything so keenly it is unreal – we’re forced again and again into his viewpoint through the book as Tolkien refers to past events, and he just FEELS LIKE WHOA. He’s just a beautiful soul, a beautiful character. He has his faults: headstrong, stubborn, too eager to take offense, quick to think the worst, pessimistic and arrogant at times. But he is forever my star, my fave, I love him so much. 

And I was far too young (13 or so?) to know what ‘shipping’ was, but heck if I didn’t immediately say ‘Gimli and Legolas TOGETHER FOREVER NO TAKE BACKSIES’. I have read fic after fic where Legolas is the super-hot catch of the Third Age. NOT TO MEEEEE. 🙂

I am thrilled I can bring a bit of my love for Gimli out there for everyone to see. Yeah, I am a bit of a loser about him!

I started reading Sansukh just a couple of weeks ago and wanted to tell you that I love it. I started reading because of Kili/Tauriel (I wish there was more about them!) but, because of this fic, I now ship Bilbo/Thorin and Gimli/Legolas too. Never shipped them before so thanks for that!

Aw, thank you, I am glad you’re enjoying it! AND YES COME JOIN US ON THE GIGOLAS SHIP TO VALINOR (and the bagginshield ship on the Sea of Angst)!

“which person in your otp sticks their cold hands on any of their partner’s exposed skin?” I was wondering for Gimli and Legolas

Welp, Elves don’t suffer the elements like mortals do, so Legolas isn’t about to get too chilly anytime soon.

But Gimli, now… he’s quite a bit sturdier than a Man or a Hobbit, but he does get cold. And he absolutely would put his fingers on bare skin and Legolas only smiles and leans further into the touch
