Perfect Balance

Nobody ever accused Legolas and Gimli of being straight.
I mean, I might.
In the books, they talk a great deal about their favorite elf women.
None of it would be out of place for a gay couple with some bi tendencies - but it is enough that I wouldn’t assume either is exclusively gay.

I remember Gimli talking about Galadriel, but who did Legolas talk about?

Ursula le’guinn wrote a novel with this premise!
Ursula is okay, but here are a couple of broads who knock her for a loop.
Joanna Russ was one of the first ‘out’ science fiction writers. If you want an adventure, try ‘Picnic On Paradise.’ Or get deeper with ‘The Female Man’
Suzy Mckee Charnas. ‘Walk To the End of the World’ is ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ raised to an infinite power. After the War, the elites were locked in fallout shelters. Eventually the males decided that it was all the women’s fault. Now centuries later, all the women are slaves.

Reminds me of William Adams the first english Samurai. He had a wife and two kids at home in England, but got stranded in Japan in the 1600s after a shipwreck. He was not allowed to leave the country for a whole decade, but gained employment and trust from the emporer as an advisor. He did send money and letters home to his family using East India merchants, but they never saw him again and his wife died in the same year as he did, thousands of miles apart
Neat! That sounded very similar to the character John Blackthorne from James Clavell’s novel Shogun, and turns out that’s who the character is based on.

His legless LEGO lass

If I recall correctly, they argue about whether Galadriel or Arwen is the more beautiful (more or less around the time of Strider’s wedding).

They spend TT planning their honeymoon, and then spend so long on it that it asks until after Aragorn and the hobbits’ kids die of old age

Ah, that was Gimli and Eomer. (Just read it a few weeks ago!)

No I mean about this premise. It was a fairytale where all the magic was just relativity and the protagonist was too much of a dumbfuck aristocrat to understand when anyone tried to explain.

There was a Thor comic where the young Thor meets a shield maiden who is as crazy as he is. She fights, drinks, and parties as hard as he does. They are happy together for many years, and then Loki comes along and asks Thor to go on a brief adventure. Thor and Loki go off for a few weeks and then return. But sly Loki knew that the realm they had gone to ran on a different time, and years had passed. Thor’s love had died alone, waiting for him to return.
Just Loki being a hilarious prankster, ruining two people’s love for shits and gigges.

Today I realized that elves and dwarves represent different locations of the neurodivergent spectrum.
