Many of you are too young to remember, but back in 2001, when Fellowship of the Ring first came out, they literally had to put out a statement saying "no, we didn't cgi Frodo's eyes, Elijah Wood is just Like That."

“Some there are among us who sing that the Shadow will draw back, and peace shall come again. Yet I do not believe that the world about us will ever again be as it was of old, or the light of the Sun as it was aforetime.”

I just noticed Boromir's hand in this scene as they're entering Lorien, and it looks like it's bandaged?? Are you telling me we have some hurt/comfort somewhere of Aragorn patching him up? Because if that exists amongst the "1000 hours of footage" Peter Jackson mentioned, I want it. NOW

I’m properly rereading the Lord of the Rings for the first time since I was in high school and I’m absolutely blown away by how much more I can appreciate it now. I remember being bored to tears by the lengthy descriptions and to this day everyone always seems to talk about how the Old Forest chapter is boring and kind of pointless but when you actually take the time to pay attention to the details? The food for imagination is intense.

let’s start with the Hedge. Yes. Hedge with a capital H: “looming suddenly ahead. It was tall and netted over with silver cobwebs.”

imagine a hedge so old and thick and tall that it’s just covered with old webs—because it’s reached the natural end of its growth, and it’s never trimmed. So tall and thick, in fact, that the hobbits have dug under it in order to get through:

“A cutting had been made, at some distance from the Hedge, and went sloping gently down into the ground. It had walls of brick at the sides, which rose steadily until they arched over and formed a tunnel that dived deep under the Hedge and came out in a hollow on the other side…It was dark and damp. At the far end it was closed by a gate of thick-set iron bars. Merry got down and unlocked the gate, and when they had all passed through he pushed it to again. It shut with a clang, and the lock clicked. The sound was ominous.”

how creepy is that??? Incredible.

the forest itself? “Looking ahead they could see only tree-trunks of innumerable sizes and shapes: straight or bent, twisted, leaning, squat or slender, smooth or gnarled and branched; and all the stems were green or grey with moss and slimy, shaggy growths….They picked a way among the trees, and their ponies plodded along, carefully avoiding the many writhing and interlacing roots. There was no undergrowth. The ground was rising steadily, and as they went forwards it seemed that the trees became taller, darker, and thicker. There was no sound, except an occasional drip of moisture falling through the still leaves.”

you know what usually makes sound in forests? Wind, and animals. There ain’t none of that here.

I won’t quote the whole passage on the bonfire glade, but when Tolkien describes the plants in the clearing he talks about “fire-weed seeding into fluffy ashes” which is so easy to skip over, but really paints a huge picture. It’s the first time we’ve seen a plant that’s not a normal one we’re familiar with and a subtle reminder that this is a world of magic. He doesn’t explain what a fire-weed is, but you can imagine a flaming wildflower that burns to ash in order to fertilize its seeds. This ties in beautifully with the location—you imagine that the first fire weeds grew here “long ago” during the Bonfire, and have been here ever since.

if I had any artistic abilities, I would illustrate this whole chapter. it’s gorgeous.

One thing reading through the LOTR daily newsletter in these early chapters really drives home is how fucking CLOSE they came to disaster before even leaving the shire. Holy shit. The Black Riders were within eyesight MULTIPLE TIMES during that first trek, and if not for Frodo’s insistence on going cross-country and the ability of hobbits to be naturally stealthy, ABSOLUTELY would have been caught. And if they’d been caught in the Shire, with no Gandalf or Aragorn to defend them, they would really have been screwed.

Ok so I got behind again on the LOTR newsletter and now I’m finally catching up again…this is literally all the way back to February 16th y’all I am ashamed. 😭

Okay so the party is just departing Lorien here I believe.

The elves gave them little treats and gifts for the road!?!?!!? 🥲

Are these magic cloaks?? Uhhhh…idk bro they just camouflage to your surroundings and warm or cool you to your desired temperature. 🧝‍♀️🧝🪄🔮

Gimli & Legolas are homies now 🥰🥰🥰

There’s MORE GIFTS YALL I AM EMOTIONAL :’)

Like “And if ever I return to the smithies of my home, it shall be set in imperishable crystal to be an heirloom of my house, and a pledge of good will between the Mountain and the Wood until the end of days.” ???!!!!????!?!?! 🥲

‘he feared that the Dark Lord had not been idle while they lingered in Lórien.’ (dun dun dunnn)

Listen, I get it, I get the appeal. I, too, would strongly like to take a journey in the wilderness with my friends and experience trials and I get why people are so into this. I am also into this.

Sam talking to himself to help find Frodo and to like hype himself up??? I’m decomposing. 😭😭😭

I’m sorry Frodo and Sam have SEPARATED from the group???? !!!?!?

YALL THAT WAS THE ENDD OF THE FIRST BOOK ARE YOU KIDDING ME I AM SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP WHAT

Okay imma keep reading I will update you when I get to another milestone or something.

Boromir: "What is this new devilry?"

Gandalf: "A Balrog — a demon of the ancient world."

Gandalf: "This foe is beyond any of you… Run!"

So I’m rewatching the extended edition of Fellowship and I realized why I was always so off-put by Arwen:

Liv Tyler speaks like Darla from Buffy and I saw Buffy before I saw lotr

"He is one of the wandering folk – Rangers we call them. What his right name is I’ve never heard: but he’s known round here as Strider."

"He is Aragorn son of Arathorn and he is descended through many fathers from Isildur Elendil’s son of Minas Ithil. He is the Chief of the Du´nedain in the North."

"Men of Gondor, hear now the Steward of this Realm! Behold Elessar of the line of Valandil, Isildur’s son, Elendil’s son of Nu´menor."

"Now come the days of the King, and may they be blessed while the thrones of the Valar endure!"
