So, I asked what you guys wanted to do to celebrate 500 views! IsilwenofRivendell wanted me to tell you guys why my favorite characters are my favorites! Now, when I choose favorite characters, it's hard to explain why. Sometimes, it's because I just think they're so cool, or something that means so small to others, but means so much to me. SO! I will try my best to explain! When you kinda get further down the list, the orders mean nothing because I couldn't put them in orders of who I love more! So, I just put them in their numbers based on who came to my mind first. So, don't take those lower ones seriously on who I like more. Thanks!!
1. Thranduil (of course (x )
It's hard for me to explain why Thranduil is one of my most favorite characters. Ever since I've known of his existence, he's been my number one. He's smart, amazing, a great father, really good looking, he's graceful, poise, elegant, he's just overall a great character!!
2. Haldir
Haldir is a little less known than Thranduil, but he's still a great character. He's snarky, bossy, and cool as heck. I also feel like he would be a great older sibling!! He's nice, too!
3. Bilbo Baggins
Now, Haldir and Bilbo are kinda fighting for the same spot. I love them both so much!! Bilbo is so funny, and he's so discouraged of himself at the beginning, which is something I relate to. Martin is such a funny actor, too!! Martin put so much into the movies, helping with each scene and telling Peter what he thinks Bilbo would do. Bilbo is also very adorable and loves history just like me! I can connect to Bilbo's character on many levels. He's just so great!
4. Aragorn (Strider)
Aragorn is that one dude who you are very suspicious of in the beginning, then proud of at the end. He fights through everything, and is strong through any situation. I like that!! His respect for others makes me respect him even more. When he puts away the past fights with the creepy du- I mean Boromir after the battle, and you know what happens. He got over the past, and put respect to Boromir. He shows that no matter what happens, you can persevere!
5. Figwit/Lindir
Who doesn't love a character who's name is disputed over?! Same thing with Thranduil to this one! He became a favorite as soon as I saw his first scene. He's like that one teenager who works at Mcdonald's who doesn't want to work there, especially when the Dwarves get there. Bret (his actor) is amazing and a hilarious person.
6. Frodo, Samwise, Peregin, and Meriadoc
There was NO way I could separate these four into different numbers. I love them all the same! They're all so amazing, brave, hilarious, and a great group of characters. They all look pretty good, too ;)
7. Thorin Oakenshield
Thorin has to be my favorite dwarf! Other than Fili and Bombur, of course. Thorin is a little edgy, but, he's such a great leader. He's fighting for his home, a place that's been overrun for YEARS. Yes, he can be quite scary, but we know behind all that long hair he's got to be a big teddy bear!
8. Legolas
To me, I don't see why Legolas is a lot of people's number one favorite. But, I mean, I do love his father to bits! He's an amazing archer, and is played by none other than Orlando Bloom, who has always been a favorite actor of mine. He's kind, strong, independent, everything!!
9. Fili & Kili
This brother duo is one of my favorite sibling duos in Middle Earth! I don't have many reasons on why I love them, but I do! They're always looking out for each other, and just an amazing duo in all. They're just so cute!!
10. Bombur
Bombur, Bombur, Bombur.. This dwarf is like that secret badass character. He can be like 007, then be like a Care Bear, having the time of his life. He's the greatest comic relief of the Hobbit. That one scene where they're running from the orcs, and you just see him shooting up the line! I love that scene!!
Now tell me, what are your guys' favorite characters?!
