My two interpretations of Thranduil that somehow exist at the same time:
Elegant, regal, stoic, the embodiment of royalty and poise. Icey stare that can turn a man to stone. A firm hand on the shoulder is as much affection you’re gonna get from this man. Loves his son but is so emotionally constipated that he has no idea how to show it.
Vs.
Absolutely fucking feral. Gets drunk and/or high every other moon cycle. Easily flustered and surprisingly expressive. Back-breaking hugs. Probably breaks down crying if he sees a particularly pretty flower. Tells his son how much he loves him every ten minutes.
