Mordor Caption Contest
"When I told you you should think about settling down, Arwen, this isn't really what I had in mind..."
"Arwen, there's something I need to tell you. There was a mix-up with the rings. We threw your wedding ring into Mount Doom."
Elrond: Your brothers send their apologies about all the kissing cousin jokes they made
"It's not too late, Legolas is still single ..."
"I told you he would wear that stupid swan-wing thing on his head!"
Elrond was so proud his daughter could contribute so much to the War of the Ring...that banner was, well, exactly like all the other ones
Elrond stifled a giggle and averted his eyes when he noticed that the groom's fly was undone. Arwen, transfixed by his eyes, noticed nothing
Thank you all for your wonderful captions. Like always, choosing a winner is very difficult, but @Lirimaer's made me laugh the most. You're up!
Thank you - let's have a pretty one.


"Remarkable! So life-like! And no-one thinks it is but a statue when they first see it?"
"Not a one! Eventually the slightly plastic sheen on the skin gives it away, and the unnatural hair-line, but the initial effect is still quite stunning."

"A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Then just one sip, and a lowly Silvan elf is attracted to dwarves. Oh hi, Tauriel!"
"Do you think anyone will notice that this is actually Southfarthing wine? Hopefully no one catches me drinking this embarrassing hobbit stuff." *sips* "So good though."
@everyone's entry
*snoring sounds* Thranduil suddenly decided to fake falling asleep and then maybe Legolas would finally shut up about all his problems.

@Dwim lol, seems plausible! Take it away!
Thanks @Lirimaer!
Here's our new picture:

Here's our new picture:

When you're filled with affection you're too shy to convey -
Meditate my direction. Feeeeeeel your way!

Aragorn how many times have I told you, wash your face! You’re breaking out all over the place. Have you been using that Mane and Tail Facial Scrub I gave you?
@Dwim
You might have difficulty picking, this is a hilarious picture.
"Crazy eyes! Did you call me Crazy Eyes to Gimli? Look in my eyes! Do these look crazy to you?"
"Crazy eyes! Did you call me Crazy Eyes to Gimli? Look in my eyes! Do these look crazy to you?"
You better shape uuuup! 'cause I need a man!
Who can keep me satisfiiiiiiiied.

When was the last time you saw a dentist, Aragorn? Your breath should not smell this bad.
It was then, right when she leaned in for a kiss, that Eowyn realized he wasn't Aragorn - it was his stunt double!
You've got something in your teeth... Hang on, hang on... I've almost got it...
"It's time to face facts and get a real job, Aragorn! You're never going to make it on Dancing with the Stars!"
These were all awesome entries, but I feel that @Vampire Bob's most accurately described the facial expression.
You're up!
Dwim, you are far too kind, but since you've given it to me, I think I'll torture you all with this version of Legolas:
Now show me what you've got!

Now show me what you've got!
Film director: "Legolas, if you want more screen time you're going to have to let the make-up and wardrobe people spruce you up a bit."
In spite of all that time in front of the mirror, Legolas's "smolder" just came off as more "condescending disgust."
Producers: When we said we wanted to make a finger puppet version of Lord of the Rings, we did NOT mean “just glue some hair and draw a face on your thumb”
"I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf."
"Yeah, me neither dude."
"Yeah, me neither dude."
Gimli's home cooked dwarf meal of "red meat off the bone" did not agree with Legolas' delicate stomach.
The animated LOTR director couldn’t afford Disney’s illustrators, and this was the unfortunate result
Gonna have to give this round to @Androthelm! That caption perfectly encapsulates the “Eww don’t touch me” face Leggy has going here. Take it away!
Very well, very well -- the animated stuff is just too good to pass up

The rats in Isengard's basement were becoming a real problem. They'd eaten their way into Saruman's Red Bull cache and had gotten wiiiings
Gandalf fell victim to one of Middle-earth's classic blunders...never get in a tickle fight with a Balrog.
Gandalf was in a hurry to dispatch the vampire. He knew how this sort of thing went: in another few ages and in another realm, people would start to write stupid books about them.
Oh no, oh no, he's gonna have a coronary. *backs away up the stairs* just sit down, sir, and I'll get you a cup of tea. You shouldn't get so excited at your age ... put down the sword before you fall down. I'm only thinking of your health...
Gandalf: "I know you ate Frodo! I will cut him out of you, if it's the last thing I do!"
Balrog: *belches*
Balrog: *belches*
Frodo calm down! You're so hungry you've turned into a balrog! Here, have a snickers.
The Red Book of Westmarch now comes with pictures. This is Frodo's drawing of Gandalf fighting the Balrog.
Just when you thought LARP art couldn't get any worse for trying to show some of the costumes and characters one might play. This happened.
"No, Mr. Howe, we were looking for something a little more... dynamic."
@Androthelm stop being busy for a weeeeeeeee second!
#2 No that's not how you do the cha cha
!! @Lirimaer thank you for tagging me. I had totally forgotten this thread and literally happened to check the plaza today for the first time since I stepped back.
That being said, I loved your caption best as well! Go ahead and take the next one!

The bird glares angrily at the queen, finding her chin tilt game to be weak in comparison to his Maleficent's.
On this edition of “Who Wore It Better?”... these two smug villains and a high-collared purple cloak!
Now for the final round of the pageant... it's time to decide who has the pointiest head. It's the horns, versus the beak, versus the crown!
Diablo: See I told you, Maleficent, just look at the color of her upper lip. She stole it! Your favorite shade of lipstick!
