Thranduil goes to Skype his son and gets a bit of a surprise. With special guest star errandofmercy, who is really the star of this video. Thank you for much for helping me, darling.
Please enjoy and thank you all for all the support!
And here are some bonus pics since Skype makes everything look dingy and I have horrible posture even for a Dwarf!
Reblogging this for those of you who may not otherwise get to see errandofmercy‘s amazing Gimli close-ups. Sorry the video set up prevented you all from seeing this level of amazingness!
Thank you for the question, Anon. I absolutely do, darling. I try to keep tabs on him through Line while he’s out and about. And recently he got me to sign up for this little app called Snapchat. I’m still figuring out how it works. But here’s an example of the loving sort of things that I send him:
And can you believe after I drew a heart and everything that he didn’t bring me a single bottle?
Thranduil: ok Legolas everything is set are you ready to go?
Legolas: Yes. Are you ready Gimli?
Gimli: -nods-
-He and Legolas join hands-
Thranduil: um. Legolas. This is awkward as fuck but you know Gimli can’t come, right?
Legolas: -stone cold glare- I’m sorry what.
Thranduil: Here we fucking go…You know the rules son, he-
Legolas: -throws bag to ground- MY PLACE IS WITH GIMLI. IF THERE IS NO PLACE FOR GIMLI THERE IS NO PLACE FOR LEGOLAS.
Thranduil: Legolas we talked about this, you-
Legolas: GIMLI IS GOING TOO
Thranduil: The rules say that-
Legolas: THE RULES ARE STUPID. CHANGE THEM ADA
Thranduil: Legolas! I can’t just-
Legolas: CHANGE THE RULES OR IM STAYING HERE
Thranduil: oh for fucks sake…
-Thranduil goes on a long perilous journey across the sea and appeals to Manwë and the other Valar-
Thranduil: Yeah hi there, I’m King Thranduil, you might remember me from the shit life you have dealt me…um anyway, so I’m here to ask that Gimli the Dwarf be allowed to come to Valinor.
Manwë: but why would you, Thranduil Oropherion speak of such for one of the Naugrim. You have no great love for their kind.
Thranduil: Tell me about it I…ah, it’s not me. It’s my son, Legolas. He…he…Damn, I’m not drunk enough for this…HE FELL IN LOVE WITH GIMLI OK. And now the only way he will agree to sail is if freakin Gimli can come with him. He’s so damn stubborn, I don’t know WHERE he gets that from GOSH.
Manwë: um
Thranduil:
Manwë: you mean ‘in love’ like Beren and Luthien ‘in love’
Thranduil: fucking yes.
Manwë: woo. Oh boy. Ah. I’m sorry. I see you concern but never before has one of dwarvish kind set foot upon these shores
Thranduil: yeah and trust me I wouldn’t want them here either but…Legolas. As much of a pain in the ass that little shit can be, I do love him. And like, it would only be ONE dwarf.
Manwë: hm, this COULD eternally amend the blood feud between the two races and pass into legend as a shining example of love and my kindness that I could bestow upon them. Give them my blessing, have a few or 15,000 ballads written about it. Good for PR you know.
Thranduil: yeah…so?
Manwë: it is decided. Your son may bring the dwarf.
-Thranduil returns to Middle Earth after a terrible journey back across the sea-
Legolas: So can he come? Did you get permission for Gimli to sail?
Thranduil: oh hello son, nice to see you again too. Yes the journey was terrible than you for asking. That stupid steward of mine was sea sick all over my favorite robe, there were orcs on the way back through the first, and I ran out of Lembas and-
Legolas: can Gimli come?
Thranduil:
Legolas:
Thranduil:
Legolas: can Gimli-
Thranduil: FUCKING HELL YES. IT CAN COME WITH US.
Legolas: GIMLI DID YOU HEAR THAT MY LOVE
-Gimli and Legolas passionately kiss-
Thranduil:
-still kissing-
Thranduil: -reaches for glass of wine-
Thranduil:
Thranduil: -throws glass to floor and grabs the bottle-
Thranduil: -chugs wine-
Thranduil: an eternity of this…fuck my actual life.
Aw Yiss
