i’ve seen gimleaf fics where they each try to find out how to court by the other’s traditions. and i love those, so i think they ought to be taken a step further. and i think the way to do that would be, naturally, to make bagginshield real. allow me to explain why. ahem. after the ring is destroyed, girlfailure legolas spends two weeks poring over The Ancient Texts and stressing because his one (1) friend who WOULD help him (that’s aragorn) knows jack shit about dwarves beyond the surface (no pun intended) (well gandalf knows things but gandalf is a bitch) (he would just smile at legolas knowingly and wish him good luck instead of giving him answers).

so alas, girlfailure “shit tier ass elf” legolas is left to like, idk, sulk or something in the garden he starts at the Bestie Residence in minas tirith. and after like 2 days sam’s had enough he’s like “dude your vibes are upsetting the plants.” and legolas is like “my bad bro. it just seems i know nothing about dwarves which i probably should’ve thought about before, by elf standards, getting hitched in vegas.” and sam is like “oh dwarves? just ask mister frodo ^_^ he knows tons about dwarves!” and legolas is like “what the shit? him in particular? why does he anything about dwarves?” and sam leans in reaaaalllllll close and whispers behind his hand, “well you see mister elf, mister legolas, sir, there’s always been a very healthy amount of rumors that go around in the shire about mister frodo’s uncle, mister bilbo, and the letters he used to exchange with a certain king under the mountain.” and legolas, who was THERE, is like

#WOAH THIS ENDED UP A NOVEL #girlfailure shit tier ass elf legolas i love you #society if thorin lived and frodo was a regular visitor to erebor #society if gimli was captain of the frodo defense squad #because ‘‘well you see his uncle helped my dad reclaim my kingdom so i’m basically in his debt forever’’ #gimleafposting #lord of the rings #the hobbit #lotr #legolas #gimli #samwise gamgee #frodo baggins #bilbo baggins #thorin oakenshield #bagginshield #gimleaf #gigolas #tolkien #coveredinsunposting

i just had a thats so raven-esque vision of one time after the war when legolas and gimli are on Their Travels and they encounter none other than legolas’ old one-sided situationship tauriel. and he’s working his way through a catch-up session that’s family reunion level of awkward. he’s like “heyyyyy it’s been like a month (60 years) since i’ve seen you. how have you been since ummm. well. since that guy died. and my dad banished you.” and tauriel is like “well actually i’ve been great! just sort of living off the land. i visit rivendell sometimes that’s fun. i suppose besides The Grief i’m doing fine but i do miss the spiders sometimes. oh and no hard feelings about your dad banishing me by the way! i mean it was pretty fucked up but i don’t blame you for it.” and legolas is like “good, good………. yeah. the spiders.”

and then there’s a very long silence and tauriel is like “so………. care to introduce me to your friend?” and legolas (he’s absolutely 100% fucked and he knows it) is like “Um. Well. This is………. Gimli. Say Hi Gimli.” and gimli is like “hi i’m gimli. son of gloin and husband to legolas. pleasure to meet you my lady!” and legolas has to keep himself from exploding cartoonishly at the sheer >:3 face tauriel gives him before she’s like “wow husband? how novel for a dwarf and an elf to fall in love!” and it’s legolas’ worst day on middle earth and tauriel’s greatest. gimli and tauriel exchange phone numbers

#yeah……. the spiders. #the chronicles of cringefail shit tier ass elf legolas never end #i love making these posts they’re so fun #gimleafposting #lord of the rings #the hobbit #lotr #legolas #gimli #tolkien #tauriel #gimleaf #gigolas #coveredinsunposting

legolas sneaks gimli into elf heaven and it's the most lit thing to happen to elf heaven in an eternity. but at the end of the day gimli still dies (i mean he's a dwarf in elf heaven) (sorry about that but like go figure) so when he does kick the bucket he just goes to regular dwarf heaven. and there he's like, “oh hey thorin oakenshield my dad's boss! how ya been!" and they dap each other up. and thorin is like, "well i'm glad you asked because it's actually pretty fucked up. Well not dwarf heaven this shit is sweet. i mean it's fucked up that my fucking situationship is stuck in hobbit heaven." and gimli is like, "damn sorry to hear that My dad's boss thorin oakenshield. that's terrible." and thorin shrugs like, "it is what it is. the almost 200 years i've been here have been fun at least. what about you bro? how have you been?"

to that gimli is all like, "me? oh well you know. saw some horrors, fought some horrors, defeated some horrors. i actually just saw my husband like 15 minutes ago before i got here." and then thorin is all like "how nice! i'm glad your husband will be here eventually :)" and gimli is like, "yeah, EVENTUALLY, but he’s gonna get an eternity long lecture from mahal and i'll wager 500 million dwarf bucks that he won't waste a SECOND before complaining about it." and thorin is like, “what do you mean eternity long lecture.” so gimli makes a 0.0 face and is like, "ohhhhhh. my bad bro. i didn't realize you probably wouldn't have heard about everything. on account of you being here in dwarf heaven and all. tell you what though, i was all the rage in elf heaven."

then there's a long pause. slow blinking for a solid 30 seconds. and then thorin, with a gleam in his eye, is like, “………………elf heaven you say?"

#do NOT. under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. let thorin oakenshield know he can illegally travel to different heavens #legolas: aulë imma keep it real with you. your security system sucks ass #bilbo (standing next to him): yeah honestly even a tripwire or something would help massively #tauriel (sipping a smoothie): is this the right address #lord of the rings #lotr #the hobbit #gimli #gimli son of gloin #thorin oakenshield #legolas greenleaf #legolas #bilbo baggins #bagginshield #gimleaf #gigolas #tolkien #gimleafposting #coveredinsunposting

gimleaf has me giggling & kicking my feet but mostly giggling because elf jewelry is so dainty and stringy and elves are like “why…. this jewel contains light reflected off the river which flowed between the two trees of valinor…..” while dwarves are like “want to see me put this 80 karat diamond into my beard”

#shoutout to my followers for dealing with the gimleaf spam #thought of this while watching the coronation scene of rotk #i laughed so hard at my own joke i had to pause it #sorry my beloved friend maverick berdlypilled im just hilarious. #lotr #gimleaf #gigolas #legolas #gimli son of gloin #lord of the rings #tolkien #gimleafposting

it sings to me inside

Then the recollection returned—of the final remaining orcs meeting their ends with pained screeches in the distance; and how Legolas, despite his battle-fatigue and his weary eyes, searched far for his companion, entering a frenzy not unlike what befell him at Helm’s Deep.

And how his gaze fell on the dwarf, and then all of the elf’s feelings fell upon him, heavy like all the stars falling upon him at once at the break of night; at that moment all care for propriety in their reunion was perished, and without a word Legolas dropped to a knee and embraced Gimli, immediately and openly.

“Why, this is not the first time we have done this,” said Gimli, through his gladdened laugh and the return of the embrace. “Death is foolish to keep knocking on our door, the way she does, for we deny her every time.”

They parted, but remained very close. “That we do, meleth nín.”

my gimleafposting finally comes to fruition! behold my amalgamation of book and movie characterizations to create these stupid gay people. seriously i operated on vibes and that one “shit tier ugly ass elf” post to write them. you know the one. so bask in the “ach nae i love him”-ness of it all and enjoy <3
