It is over (might be spoilers)

  • How long it takes to kill Azog and Bolg
  • How diamonds and gold won’t be a substitute for love
  • Good friends are hard to find
  • If a friend betrays you, it might only be because they want to save you from something
  • If tasks seems easy, it’s usually a trap
  • Alfrid is a coward just like his Master
  • Killing Smaug was both sad and satisfying
  • What true love is
  • Seeing Galadriel, Saruman and Elrond on screen brings a smile on your face
  • Thranduil is the sexiest character in Middle-Earth 😉 and there’s a lot of him

I did get a little teary eyed in certain scenes. All in all, it was a great movie. There were some scenes I expected to be there but wasn’t but still it was worth it. It’s gonna be even better the 2nd time around. I will go again I’m sure. Seeing characters die again and again is not much fun though. But seeing Thranduil is.

So now when both Lord of the rings and The Hobbit movies are over, what now? What to look forward now? Those are the questions. I guess it’s back to the drawing board.

“I know you’re there. Why do you linger in the shadows?”

That’s what Thranduil said in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

So I ask You the same, my dear followers, ‘Why do you linger in the shadows?’
This is just an observation and I’m not telling You what to do. I know You are out there. I can see from the ‘Like’ and pingbacks that You, my followers, are there. But don’t be shy. Come out from the shadows for a while. Maybe You’re just so busy with life (you know job, school, family and that sort of things) or maybe You just have so many blogs to read. Whatever reason You have. It would be nice though to get feedback from You once in a while. It doesn’t have to be analysing things. Just one comment would be nice. I don’t expect anything special. I’m not expecting long conversations. I don’t write any serious subjects. Maybe I should but that’s something this blog is not about. Like I wrote in ‘About me’ That still stands.

I’m not complaining though. I’ve got some comments. Thank you. You know who you are. But sometimes when I write non challenge things, they seem to get unnoticed. Maybe they’re not something You’re interested in. But that’s OK. I know I shouldn’t care if You post comments or not. I write for myself anyway. That’s something I shouldn’t forget.

Come now, don’t be shy… step into the light

 

When the father is more interesting than the son

Not talking about real life. Gee, what do you take me for 😉

Talking about Thranduil and Legolas in The Hobbit. Somewhere in a forum, someone mentioned that Thranduil is prettier than Legolas. It got me an idea to this short story. It was late at night so forgive me if it’s awful.

Legolas found himself a girlfriend. She was no elf but close enough. She was beautiful and had pointy ears. The difference was she were mortal. She came from a far. No one was sure where. But Legolas loved her. The problem was though, it seemed she wasn’t really into him. She was kind and showed affection to him but somehow he felt she didn’t feel the same. When he asked her, she just said. “I care for you” But that was it.
Legolas thought, maybe she will love him in time. Days and weeks went by but nothing changed. She still “only cared for him” He was getting worried. Was she never gonna feel the same about him? He asked her again but she still said the same. Now he was really getting upset. What should he do? He knew he couldn’t make her fall in love with him. He couldn’t talk to anyone about his problem. Not even with his father Thranduil. All he seemed to care about was his kingdom and getting the jewels back from the dwarfs.

Three weeks later, Legolas was sitting with her outside the gates of the kingdom. She only looked out to the forest. The sun was about to go down. He looked at her, wondering what she was thinking. Lately she had been quiet. She probably didn’t want a conflict of any sort. He knew she would only get upset if he kept asking her questions. But he couldn’t stay silent any longer. He would probably lose her after this.
“You’ve been here over a month and still you only tell me you care for me. Are you ever gonna tell me anything else?” He said but she didn’t look at him
He stood up and got in front of her so the sunset were behind him, casting a shadow over her face. She looked up and smiled but didn’t say anything. Legolas was usually a calm elf but now he was getting frustrated. He was about to slap her cheek when he hears his father’s voice behind them.
“Legolas”
He took his hand down and looked at his father, who looked upset.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
She stood up and turned around. A smile appeared on her face. Legolas noticed it was different. He had a hunch what was going on.
“Nothing” Legolas said and looked down
“Get inside. You never know when someone might attack” Thranduil said and went back inside
She kept looking at him and was about to follow. Legolas grabbed her arm.
“What is going on?” He asked upset
“Leave me alone” She said and tried to get herself lose
“So this is the reason for all this?”
“What reason?” She said, looking puzzled
“Come on, you know what I mean”
“Let me go first”
Legolas let her.
“I know I should have said it earlier but I was too shy to approach the matter. The truth is, I like your father better”
Legolas couldn’t believe his ears. Instead of starting acting crazy, he stayed calm. He couldn’t believe he had to compete with his father.
“He doesn’t care for you, all he cares about is himself. He’ll never even look your way”
“You only say that because you’re upset. I’ll prove you wrong” She said and walked inside
Legolas just stood there. Was this her thank you after everything? Had he wasted all his time trying to make her love him? He could not just stand by and watch on the side. He had to stop her from trying. He had to get to his father before she could.

Things you get in your head at night. It’s a bit weird that Lee Pace and Orlando Bloom play father and son when the latter is 2 years older. It doesn’t matter because they could be related for real.
