Fighting off both the sickness and the fear, Frodo gripped Sam's hand.
Then as he stood, darkness about him and a blackness of despair and anger in his heart. it seemed to him that he saw a light: a light in his mind, almost unbearably bright at first, as a sun-ray to the eyes of one long hidden in a windowless pit. Then the light became colour: green, gold, silver, white.

Unfortunately I had to bury Bilbo (the mouse) today. He started showing signs of being sick yesterday morning and although we had a vet visit the same afternoon he passed away during the night :(

god I love hobbits. sam and frodo are literally in the land of mordord. and not only are they in the land of mordor frodo was taken captive by the orcs and stripped of his clothes and whipped. not only that, frodo has now lost all hope and sam isn't doing well either. they have hardly slept, drank and eaten. and they still try to lighten up the mood whenever they can. God I LOVE hobbits

Sméagol and the Gift
'Now!' said Sam. 'At last I can deal with you!' He leaped forward with drawn blade ready for battle. But Gollum did not spring. He fell flat upon the ground and whimpered.
'Don't kill us,' he wept. 'Don't hurt us with nassty cruel steel! Let us live, yes, live just a little longer. Lost lost! We're lost. And when Precious goes we'll die, yes, die into the dust.'
Devastated by this. Just a little longer, he begs. Even though his existence is a torment. Even though the will that holds him to life is barely his own anymore. He has long outlived his time but it's such a cruelty that now the only freedom for him is in death. I'm glad Sam didn't kill him but the whole scenario is awful.
When a mortal keeps a ring of power he does not gain more life, he continues, denied natural mortality as the fear of death is amplified and twisted into fear of separation, nothing matters anymore but the keeping, the continuing. In that miserable existence there is no peace, and at its end there is no graceful goodbye to life, there is only dust. Sudden, empty, and final.
It would take murder to spare him that. Or falling with the ring into the fire.
Bilbo let it go in time (did he feel anything when it was destroyed?) Frodo is freed of it now, though the toll it extracted for the separation was at very least a finger. It was too late for Gollum for the price to be anything other than it was, and that's brutal.
If you live long enough, death is no longer the enemy. What Sauron did to Gollum ensured that it would always be the enemy, to be feared and avoided for ever, once time and the ring had fashioned it into the only escape left. Evil.

Why are you staring at me?
You are an intriguing creature, Frodo Baggins.
Musical!verse. The Fellowship leaves Lothlorien, and Frodo and Galadriel must part. If only parting were as simple as it sounds.
a fucked-up little frodo/galadriel vignette in honour of georgia louise's fantastic performance as galadriel in the lotr musical

Why does Frodo look like a noble from those old paintings? Like the wide eyes, painted-ish face, vague sorrowfully beautiful pained expression? Anyone know what I’m talking about?
