Thranduil Appreciation Thread Part XXXIII
|
|
|
A couple of friendly reminders aka README!!!!!!!! If you're new, or unsure, about posting, especially contributing Pretty!, please refer to - the TORn guides on the "Welcome" board, or - the "IMPORTANT README for TA posters: Information on posting, and adding images" and the little PSA from the mods posts right here on the TA threads for quickie information. It might just save you from getting zapped by Wrath of Mod. And now back to your regularly scheduled ThranduilAppreciation
.~.~.~.~.~. .~.~.~.~.~. .~.~.~.~.~. Wow! We really went on a record post-spurt, and went further into town on TAXXXII than we ever did with TAXXXI. It supplanted TAXXXI as the fastest to threadtip (the honour of threadtip post goes to Eowyn of Penn Woods, enthusiastically helped along by the diligent posting of Cassie, SunnyD and yours truly), since numero uno We're still living dangerously, but as modmother dernwyn apparently went offline just about the time we threadtipped, I cheated and asked Earl to lock TAXXXII so we can have this screenshot. BUT! There's no doubt we keep on whizzing along like we're in a cab in NYC!
Any and all appreciation of Thranduil and everything related to him happens here. All Thranduil Thralls, and appreciating non-Thralls are welcome. So feel free to jump in at any time! (HR Source!Clicky)

See also "Ninja-Hugger" Bubba: Nickname of Thranduil's beloved War-Elk. See also"Maximum Fabulosity Exposure" Equal Opportunistic Thrall: One who thralls whom her/his infidelity fancies. Shamelessly multi-allegiance by nature. See also "Thranduil Thralls" Elvenking, The: That's right, that's how it's supposed to be written Facemelt: That thing Thranduil does in T&T Fanart: Popular post subject/title.

(Helpful reference for the threadlard inspired: See the "IMAGES" section of "The TA (very) Quickie Help/TIPS for adding IMAGES and POSTING" sections in this README FOR ALL TA Posters) FEAST: Shorthand for Flustered Elrond AND Sassy Thranduil. In honour of Thranduil sass/badassery resulting in Elrond raising his eyebrows disapprovingly. May involve dramatic Elrond temple-rubbing. Elrond's fluster can be induced remotely or by proxy and does not require Elrond to be present when Thranduil does his thang. See also "FLAST", "FEASTING"FEASTING: Shorthand for Flustered Elrond AND Sassy Thranduil Including Not-impressed Galadriel. Extension of FEAST, which includes Galadriel, also in disapproval mode, i.e. Elrond's fluster conditions in FEAST apply here for both Elrond and Galadriel FLAST: Shorthand for Flustered Leggy AND Sassy Thranduil. In honour of the worship for badass (maybe a smidgeon of oblivious in there somewhere) Thranduil and his actions/non-actions resulting in Legolas getting into a flap. Requires Legolas to be present when Thranduil does his thang. See also "FEAST" GotG: Guardians of the Galaxy. That movie in August 2014 with LP in it HCF: Halt and Catch Fire.

Inspired by his awesome cool when riding Bubba the War-Elk. See also "Bubba" Ninja-Hugger: Specifically LP dispensing hugs. Not that he hugs ninjas, but because he's sneaky like a ninja when he hugs people in the TH Vlogs and appendices and it takes everyone forever to realize it was even him, usually because he's back to camera when he bounces into frame. Will the sneaky hugging never end? We hope not!

STVs, Thranduil has a question for you. What say you? T&T: The Thranduil and Thorin confrontation scene in DOS. Generally ranked top favourite of Thranduil Thralls TA: Thranduil Appreciation. All-round for the Elvenking and his onscreen avatar (and by extension teh actor. See also LP). Shockingly, there are TA posts with that literary bent associated with thinking individuals frequenting such an exemplary forum as TORn. Some even hint at functional brain-matter in the poster. That disagreeable (among other things) Dwarf: See "T&T" Theory of Bling: Overarching term for theories and speculation on the backstories of Thranduil's rings. Popular discussion circa TAIII/TAIV, but still pops up occasionally. Thranddy: affectionate diminutive of the Elvenking's name (if you don't know who is the Elvenking, google is your mellon) Thrandfully: The right manner on how to express your thankfulness to all Thranduil-related and non-related subjects Thranduil Thralls: The afflicted. Fangirls, and boys, whose allegiance are pledged to the Elvenking. Also known as the hopelessly enthralled to his ELVEN MAGNIFICENCE. Perturbing to some, Thralldom may not be exclusive. Credit goes to Eowyn of Penns Woods for the "official" Thranduil Thrall moniker.

Thrall kit staple, and safety precaution for the inevitability of super high thud occurrences. In-thread purveyed most-in-demand item, best paired with HTR alerts. Unexpected Flash of Elf (aka UFE): Those moments in the TH BTS, Vlogs when Thranduil/LP flashes by. See also "BTS Easter Egg Find", "Ninja-Hugger" Woodland Weekend (aka WW): Occasional mega URL laden post for Pretty! of Thranduil, and LP. May also include goodness for Legolas, *cough*That disagreeable (among other things) Dwarf*cough* and some others. Selective indiscrimination is key.

Put this thread on watch! Locate the "Watch thread" button to the top and right of this post (button 3 of the 5 threads buttons you see) and click it. Also, if you click on the "creation" bit in the "Age" column (last one) when you view a forum, it changes to "activity", and you get a list of threads which has been recently posted to, instead of when they were started. It's a much easier way to find the current TA thread since someone will probably post in it, and it usually appears on page 1 of the activity view. Certainly beats going back through the board to look for it.

I step out for one day and the last thread has been closed and a new one opened. Good thing I had at least one post in the previous thread or I would have felt so left out But hey we finally managed to get TWO TA threads on the first page of the Hobbit board. Well done Thralls Thranduil approves. PS check out those insanely LONG, DARK LASHES

Perhaps we're not the only ones in love with Legolas? Maybe there Leggy fans among the newbies too? Clicky's!

Especially the second one. Only that strand of hair that went astray is a bit out of character

You can see I'm going through my Leggy phase again Don't worry it won't last long. Usually it's swiftly replaced by my Thranduil obession. Just every now and then my Legolas affection pops up and I have to share his gorgeousness with you all. After all what's not to like about the one and only son and heir of Thranduil? (Clicky's!) Why didn't we get a moment like this after battle? *cries*

I like Leggy too. Maybe when Leggy gets as old as his father he'll look just as Delicious as his Father.

XXXIII already! No wonder I slept so poorly last night - it's hard to get a good night's sleep when the ground is shaking non-stop from the constant thudding.

Now that is a beautiful screencap. I have had about 5 hours of sleep but it was a worthy accomplishment. Onto more mischief today. (insert evil laugh) Speaking of laughing, I think Lee Pace has the sexiest deep laugh on the planet. Thinking of it makes me thud.

His Lordship is also awake. Does he ever even snooze? I see he is almost dressed and enjoying a glass of his favorite morning "juice".

When I show him in DOS. I was like who is beautiful force of nature. I need to know. Thus began my research and findings on this hunk of an elvenking. I'm quite sorry. I know this was previously discussed in the previous thread but I could not see Doug Jones playing this role. He does not have softness and beauty that LP has. I mean LP nails it.
