The Extremely Serious and Scientific Legolas Fandom Hair Colour Poll:

What colour hair do you picture in your head for your personal mental image of Legolas of the Woodland Realm? (Not necessarily which one you think is more or less "canonical"; rather just what you see in your head when you're reading something.)

Ideally, you can also share when and how you were first exposed to Lord of the Rings in the tags or reblogs, and what you think most influenced your mental image.

No I'm not procrastinating from writing stuff, go away.

At the Council of Elrond, Frodo takes note of all the people he's never seen before. Among them is Legolas, who's described as "a strange Elf clad in green and brown".

(let's assume that each boat can comfortably carry one extra passenger)

Add your reasons in the tags!

My pal @babybat98 and I were joking about a ship with Arwen and Legolas's sister, and how if they had any children the results of mingling those bloodlines would be the absolute terror of Middle-earth...and especially Sauron. He'd be chucking the One Ring into the volcano himself and running off to the Doors of Night to hide behind Melkor to get away from that.

So what is our nightmare-lineage elf like, folks?

Sauron is pretty sure the only way it could get any worse would be if they somehow figured out how to get some of the damn dog's genetics in there too. He is out.

Some examples:

-> The Hunt for Gollum -> Born of Hope -> One of the Seven

Honorable mentions would be Caranthir, Maedhros, Elrond and Sam.
