Okay so we all agree that as soon as Gimli and Legolas hit Valinor Galadriel is just tripping over herself to be their #1 fan, but I’d like to posit that she’d have some heavy-hitting backup in the form of Melian “Excuse You I was the First Being to Cross the Interspecies Fucking Line” Queen of Doriath. 

Like – I can just see Melian approaching Legolas who is on his LAST nut about people asking stupid questions about his “preferences” and is resolved that if he has to yell at one more person about the use of “naugrim” he’s gonna go Helms Deep on their ass. Anyway, she rolls up and he’s a baby, he doesn’t recognize her, so when she opens her mouth he just looses it, like

“YES I am married to a dwarf. NO it is not a weird fetish thing. NO it is not a phase. YES I KNOW I am the first elf to get with a dwarf and if you have a problem I will FIGHT YOU ABOUT IT”

And Galadriel, just frikken SUMMONED by the perfect fuckery of the moment, just clears her throat, amused as fuck like “Legolas, this is my mentor Melian, Maia of Este and Vana who was once Queen of Doriath” – and he gets that DEEP HORROR face he got when Gandalf told them a Balrog was coming because like – THIS IS A FAIRYTALE QUEEN FROM HIS CHILDHOOD and ALSO the ORIGINAL interspecies love groundbreaker and as he has a quiet melt down Melian just SMIRKS and is like “I’m such a fan.”
