What a momentous decision Seriously, how amazing is that???? I live in a country that already had marriage equality, but still, America legalising it is a massive step. It doesn't mean that homophobia has ended, but it does mean that everyone can marry the person they love. How brilliant?!?!
I am sorry for my inactivity here guys, Uni just is kicking my butt, showing me how good I am at procrastinating and how bad at time management.
As voted for by the peeps over on A03 for chapter 100, this fic is based on starlightelvenking‘s prompt:
Imagine Tilda starting fights at school and Bard getting called into the Headmasters office about it and meeting Headmaster Thranduil
“Mr Bowman?” Came the tinny voice down the phone.
“Ya?” Bard answered distractedly with the phone trapped between his shoulder and ear, he was concentrating much harder on not dropping all the various tools tucked under his arms than on what the person down the phone was saying.
“…Mr Bowman?” The man asked again, he’d probably asked Bard a question that he’d missed, but he really didn’t want to drop the car battery and all the tools on his foot if he could avoid it.
“Yeah?” He repeated, the phone almost slipping out from between his should and ear when he went to put the scrap metal he was holding down.
“Are you listening to me?” He continued, sounding more than a little irritated.
“Not really, but if you can give me like ten seconds I will be.” Bard told him, ducking down to let the phone fall onto the table without breaking it, and quickly setting everything else down on the workbench beside the car he was working on, before scooping the phone back up. “Okay, I’m here, how can I help you?”
“Yes. I’m calling from the school. We have your daughter Tilda here and– .”
“Is she okay?” Bard cut in, standing up straight, he’d never been called about any of his kids before.
“Yes she is fine.” The man confirmed, sounding more exacerbated every time Bard spoke, he clearly didn’t have any children himself.
“Okay good.” Bard relaxed at little, leaning back against the desk.
“Tilda is fine, the boy she punched has a cut on his face.”
“That doesn’t sound like her.” Bard commented, a frown furrowing his brow, there was no way Tilda had just hit someone out of the blue.
“Yes well we need you to come down to the school.”
“It’s kind of the middle of my work shift. Can it wait till when I come pick her up at the end of the day? Bard requested, he would really rather not abandon Percy unless he had to.
“We would appreciate it if you could come down now.” And well that was one way of saying no.

THE MANY OUTFITS OF KING THRANDUIL
Lee Pace & Luke Evans..
Please consider:
- “You’re a celebrity and I’m a paparazzo, sorry friend I have to take pictures of you to pay my rent next month” AU
- “You’re a store clerk and oh shit I just spotted my ex please let me hide behind your desk-thing” AU
- “I don’t know you but I need some place to stay for the night, my roommate’s getting some” AU
- “I’m helping my niece’s girl scout troop sell cookies and hell no, fuck off soccer coach, we were here first” AU
- "This has been a very bad week and you just grabbed the last box of my favorite comfort food at the supermarket” AU
- “You’ve locked yourself outside of your apartment and there’s a storm rolling in and I pity you so I’ll let you into mine” AU
- “We’re neighbors who don’t really talk but your cat might have gotten my cat pregnant?? We must raise this little kitty family together” AU
- “A toddler broke your nose and I may or may not have snapped my thumb during a very intense game of Mario Kart and now we’re both sitting next to each other in the hospital waiting room” AU
why are like 98.27% of the Barduil prompts and headcanons full of angst. seriously, even the ones that you start reading and going ‘aww, that’s so cu-’ end in something heartwrenchingly sad.
it’s like “yeah modern AU where Bard and Thranduil are in love and raise their kids together and have a puppy but thEN ONE OF THEM GETS DIAGNOSED WITH BRAIN CANCER AND THE PUPPY DIES OF TUBERCULOSIS AND ALL THE KIDS BURN UP IN A HOUSE FIRE HAHAHA”
Sometimes a storm is just a storm.

A while ago girl-most-unlikely asked if someone could draw Bard and Thranduil like on one of those tacky romance novel covers. And I thought: That´s exactly what I am here for. So I took a few hours off from my comic to draw this masterpiece. And I am not gonna lie, this is the best thing I have drawn in a long while. Original
out of context this looks like they just knocked out Gandalf with a frying pan
