SCREAMS GIVE ME TEN
have I ever talked about my au/headcanon where legolas was like 10 years old during the events of the hobbit and is therefore a young rebellious elf during lotr (which explains how little chill he has)
but imagine itty bitty leggy running into thran’s throne room during arguments with the dwarves and asking like a million questions about dwarves
imagine Thorin noticing how tense thranduil is the while time, like he’s worried legolas will get hurt
imagine legolas hero worshipping tauriel
imagine him sneaking away and showing up in lake town (“WHAT THE FUCK IS A CHILD DOING HERE” “YOU ARE STAYING WITH THE BOWMAN UNTIL YOUR FATHER COLLECTS YOU, AND DEFINITELY NOT COMING TO THE MOUNTAIN WITH US”)
imagine tilda and legolas being bffs who braid each other’s hair and give bard heart attacks by hiding from him
just imagine little legolas getting in the way of everything during the quest
but whatever you do, please imagine how worried and scared thranduil is when he realizes legolas is missing, and how much more agreeable he is due to sheer relief after he arrives in laketown and find legolas
imagine how much less of a douchebag he is in negotiations if legolas is there watching
