i think the reason for legolas and thranduil’s “bad directions” ( /post/111814280443/be-there-now-in-a-minute-you-legolas-are-fucking and /post/117135756938/bloodynoldor-which-proves-that-thranduil-has ) might be because the elves refer to the west (aka party central, THE place to be) as north?

This is a possibility, Nonnie! The party’s where it’s at, after all.

(Just for laughs, though: your ask made me wonder if Elves would then logically refer to North as East? East as South? South as West? Have they, in fact, turned the compass 90 degrees clockwise?)

idk, I don’t pay too much attention to that aspect of the movies, really. I am much more tickled by the Captain Obvious Legolas stuff. That’s a little character tweak I can get behind: makes him feel a little natural and flawed and real rather than perfectly-perfect… and perfectly boring. 

(this is tshirt anon) LOVE IT. im just imagining aragorn’s face when one of them gives him the tshirt at a christmas party and get hella turnt afterwards, since he (of course) is the designated driver. (gimli’s “i’m with stupid” shirt is amazing tho like at family gatherings he counts how many times he can make the arrow point towards thranduil without him noticing, while gloin tries his hardest not to burst out laughing)

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
