There was a distinct age divide on who was into Legolas and who was into Aragorn! I wouldn't say one was more popular than the other, but what you saw depended on which communities you were in.

I wasn't in the fandom back in the day. But when I did get into the fandom, I was annoyed at all the people claiming that the default was to like Legolas when you were younger but be more into Aragorn once you matured. Like, no. If anything, it was the opposite for me. I had less of a particular type as a kid, I liked Aragorn more just because I liked his character more. But as an adult, I have much more of a type (or types). Aragorn is awesome but I'm not attracted to him.

LOL. I thought Legolas was pretty but not into him and Aragorn was nice too but looked like he hadn't bathed in months so... that's a no from me, dawg!

"No way to ship to ship him eith Aragorn and to make sense." Well, not with that attitude!

I get that this is a secret about how you felt at the time, and nothing I can say will change that, but I'm of the opinion that a determined and skilled writer can make just about anything make sense, and I have a hard time believing that in a fandom as large as LotR there was no one shipping Aragorn with the dad of his canon love interest. There are 40 works on AO3 now tagged with that pairing, the earliest of them from 2002. That's probably not all that’s ever been written on the subject.

The problem is that Elrond raised Aragorn.

I mean, if we're going the pseudo-incest route, Aragorn/Arwen would also be kinda sketch...

(Anonymous) 2024-07-04 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm convinced.

When I was a child (around 7-9) I was deeply enchanted by Lord of the Rings, and of course had to see all the movies. Anyway, I was enamored with Gimli. Grew up to be a lesbian, so I don't know what that says about me, but there it is. There's a member of the fellowship for everyone.
