the best lord of the rings thing ive seen is the headcanon that gimli is like Prince Tier of beauty for dwarves and is absolutely stunning and legolas is like, for an elf, absolute butt ugly like relatively and everyones always like gimli how could you marry such a shit tier ugly ass elf and gimli is like ach.. nae…i love him
My favorite scene in the entirety of LoTR is when Gimli and Legolas walk into Minas Tirith, after just having braved unspeakable ghost horrors and a battle, and Legolas is prancing and singing like the cheerful jerk he is, everyone’s watching him cuz he’s beautiful, and Gimli’s grumping pissily along like YEAH THESE BRICKS ARE OK I GUESS, NOT GREAT, 6/10 NEEDS MORE DWARVES and Legolas is just like ARAGORN Y’ALL NEED SUMMORE PLANTS, I’M GONNA TELL MY DADDY TO SEND Y’ALL SOME PLANTS as if these are the highest priorities of state and there isn’t a catastrophic war with Satan going on
Gimli, laying face down on his bed: I can’t believe I said ‘neat’, Aragorn. ‘NEAT’. Nobody says ‘neat’ anymore it’s the goddamn fourth age!!! It’s not neat to say neat, but I said it anyway because I’m…… a huge loser!!!
Aragorn: *idly turns book page* Hey, don’t beat yourself up. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what happened in that story I told you about when Arwen confessed to me?
Gimli: Didn’t you, like, thank her?
Aragorn: *closes book and stares at the ceiling* I thanked her.
