A follow-up to my ultimate cuntybago post:

Viggo himself solved my issue with which of the buses that was The Cuntybago. Because here he is, in all his glory (and very shiny hair - he looks like he's in the Bee Gees or something), in The Cuntybago t-shirt with a pic of the bus on it!

So, seems The Cuntybago IS the bus with the green stripe and not the yellow-ish thing shown in the clip from the reshoots. So all the photos and such must have been moved from one bus to the other? Or what? It's still very mysterious.

But at least I can rest assured it's this first bus, from the original filming, and not the impersonator-bus from the reshoot.

Sorry, Endeavor. I guess he's not going to come wearing stuff that I can cut through. || Don't worry. I wasn't expecting you to.

need y’all starving aralas stans to go to twitter and spread some aralas love. if you have twitter accounts please make sure to like and retweet aralas fanarts. there’s still some who draws the pairing but it’s probably discouraging for artists when there’s none to so little interactions. 🙏🏻

saruman at the back though LOL

Back with the LoTR boys! I absolutely ADORE the handsyness. Actors should ALWAYS be this handsy with each other, it’s a thing of beauty.

They would follow each other to the ends of the earth ~

Viggo Mortensen by Pablo Sarabia per Fotogramas, May 2024.

“… Yet whatever is still to do, I hope to have a part in it, for the honor of the folk of the Lonely Mountain.” [Gimli]

“And I for the folk of the Great Wood,” said Legolas, “and for the love of the Lord of the White Tree.” (The Last Debate)

I adore this line not only because here we have Legolas saying explicitly that he loves Aragorn, but it demonstrates just how deeply he does.

“Love” is a word Legolas uses only twice in the LOTR trilogy, and only when speaking of Aragorn: he uses it once in describing the love Aragorn inspires in others (himself included), and then here in this quotation, declaring he wants to follow the war’s uncertain path to the end for love of Aragorn.

And there’s this profound juxtaposition Legolas makes, placing Aragorn right alongside Mirkwood: Gimli cites the honor of his people and his home for why he fights on; but for Legolas, Aragorn is tantamount to family; Aragorn is tantamount to home.

Then it makes sense why after the war, while Gimli goes to live with Éomer in Rohan, Legolas chooses to live under Aragorn’s rule in Ithilien. Home is Aragorn, after all.

And it makes sense why Legolas packs up Gimli (with Galadriel’s help of course) and leaves Middle-earth immediately following Aragorn’s death. Legolas had said, following the war, that he would deny his Sea-longing to remain in Middle-earth “… a while: a month, a life, a hundred years of Men” (The Field of Cormallen). Indeed, Aragorn’s life ends after 122 years of rule. And suddenly Legolas, still young by measure of Elves and living in a thriving Elven colony, departs Middle-earth. 

He has no more reason to stay, because Aragorn is gone. Home is Aragorn, and home is gone.

Just Aragorn and Legolas being cute 🥰

(yes I'm re-watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy and ENVY ALL OF YOU AMERICANS who get to watch it again in the cinema in a few months :') )

They are very close right now. So close, Aragorn thinks, that they could kiss. And then, somehow, they are.
