I found a cool thing yesterday! I thought you might appreciate. (The puzzles are really intricate like holy crap.)

(It’s not official, though, BUT that means it’s not restricted to only the movie depictions, which means Silmarillion stuff as well.)

*heavy breathing*

want. 

I’m really curious – how old *is* Legolas, exactly? (at least, how old did you “make” him in your fic, I know there isn’t really much to go on canon-wise.) I always have it in my head that he’s around 2000 years old, but I can’t really remember where I got that from — was it your headcanon? Did someone else estimate that?

I’ve seen 2000 years before somewhere as well! I think that came from the LOTR movies, actually, though I’d have to look it up to be certain.

I’ve got him a little older than that, actually – closer to 2.8K. I’m deliberately vague about it, though, because I dislike nailing down that figure: I like the mystery! 

Also Gimli joking about how impossibly ancient Legolas is tickles my funny bone. “One million, wasn’t it laddie?” “STOP.”

hi, there, Dets, queen of the hobbit/lotr fandom! I know that your main ship is Gigolas, and I love it, too, but I was wondering how you felt about the pairing Sam/Frodo, just you personally? I myself am sort of up in the air about it, and I just wanted to know your opinion. No need to answer if you don’t feel comfortable, however! I hope you have a great day/evening, and thanks for all your hard work!

hoo boy, I ain’t a queen, I am some sort of permanently bemused court musician 🙂

Awww, I do enjoy Sam/Frodo, yes indeed I do! I think that the love they have for each other is as obvious as the noses on their faces, frankly. I don’t go out of my way to read it, but I like it when I come across it!

Though, going a bit deeper – I prefer the Sam/Frodo/Rosie OT3. That’s because I really enjoy it when Rosie is given more character time. I often see her shunted to one side, ignored or fridged, or turned into a nagging baby-machine, which is not so fun to read. I like her being a part of it, as on-board and as involved as the other two.

I also kindasorta hc Frodo as Ace. The way I feel about it is: Frodo and Sam are homoromantic af together, Rosie and Frodo are QP cuties, and Sam and Rosie are physical lovers. 

That’s only my flight-of-fancy, though! Any interpretation of Sam/Frodo is generally lovely and soft and sweet.

heheh, it is VERY close harmony as a result of me bein a soprano – no T or B in this SATB!

heheheheh – bass parts used here were trombone, horns, cello and double-bass – the last two were in fact, me playing violin, and then using pitch-shift to bring it dowwwwwn. :)))

ridersofbrohon:

so the latest chapter of the ever amazing Sansûkh went up not too long ago, and i’m.
i’ve only read through the first section, and i cannot stop smiling. i probably annoyed my sister with my giggling and gasping and full out snorting at the predicament Gimli and Legolas have got themselves into.
i am so grateful for this chapter.
Christmas time always sucks for me (yay seasonal depression! -_-), and not even 5 minutes before i got the notification that chapter 45 had been published, i was having a liiiitle bit of an episode™
but this chapter
just. the absolute love that shown in Gimli for both his family and Legolas and his regret that he may have hurt any of his family but his unapologetic firmness in his love for Legolas that not Mordor itself could stop them.
and Legolas wanting SO. BAD. to make a good first(and second) impression with Gimli’s family and the quiet acceptance he has of his father’s feelings towards his relationship with Gimli.
Laerophen standing against his father in support of Legolas and Gimli.

this chapter is my new go to for when i have a rough day

@determamfidd thank you so so much for this literary master piece that has stolen my heart and soul. may your (metaphorical) beard grow ever longer❤️❤️❤️
