Random Tauriel hc! I’ve always headcanon’d Tauriel as being somehow related to Celebrimbor. Like, either she’s a lost direct descendant of his and she has no idea he’s her great great great grandfather. Or if that don’t work then she’s a descendant of Maglor instead and she again has no idea he’s her great great great grandfather. Either way, she’s definitely related to Nerdanel. Cuz, you know, the red hair.

I’ve seen this idea before, Nonnie! I am sorta fond of the idea of secret!Feanorian!Tauriel, heheh. 

(no wonder Thranduil keeps such a close eye on her)

poesiariptide:

“She walks in starlight in another world.”

Inspired by a beautiful photo of Evangeline Lilly I randomly stumbled upon. Her hair was SO FUN to do (totally worth all the time I spent looking for fancy hairstyle references). I actually intended it to be a modern AU, but open to interpretation 😀

Casual Fave Headcanon Time

poplitealqueen:

Óin being so in awe of Tauriel’s Elvish magic and basically being the platonic Gimli to her Legolas, following her around asking very kindly (if loudly) that she teach an old codger like him how to do that “glowy elf thing”.

And Tauriel–while juggling three Bardlings, a lovestruck Dwarven prince, and a grumpy – faced Elven prince–agrees with a smile and asks he teach her his Dwarven healing ways in exchange.

Headcanons about the dolls: Once all the stories are told and peace comes, dolls of literally everyone get made: there’s Faramir, Eowyn and Eomer, Theoden (and their horses), Treebeard and the Ents, Each wizard, Radagast and his rabbits and sled, Saruman (2 versions: one with white robes and another tye-died), the 2 Blue Wizards, there’s even one of Gandalf’s Shadowfax. Of elves like Elrond, Celeborn, Galadriel, Arwen, Elladan, Elrohir, Haldir, etc. (Part 1)

(Part 2) Laerophen eventually ends up with dolls of his brothers and father while in Erebor (Gimizh and the kids give them to him; they worry about their loved ones too and the dolls help them so they figure the dolls would help him too). He’s not quite sure what to do with them, but he keeps them anyway safe in his room and they go with him back to the Greenwood. Legolas eventually visits Erebor and gets them too, along with a Gimli, Tauriel, Fellowship set, and dolls of the friends he made.

(Part 3) Gandalf was given a doll of Bilbo by a dwarfling years ago and couldn’t refuse it. He secretly loves the dolls and has collected a doll of everyone he’s ever met since. He keeps them safe in Rivendell and takes them with them when he sails. (It’s a large chest that ends up holding them all.)

This is all SO cute, omfg. I can’t believe that a little detail in the fic has turned into such a lovely world-building thing, and that people are thinking up their own headcanons for it! *boggles and awwws*
