Earlier today I was thinking about the way that hobbits treat Frodo post-Quest.

The books say that few hobbits know or care to know about Frodo’s adventure, and that is heartbreaking by itself. He suffers all that torment and sacrifices everything out of love for his people, and they react with indifference. And it wouldn’t surprise me if some hobbits treated him with open disdain.

In the first chapter of LOTR, before Frodo himself enters the story, we see hobbits gossiping about Frodo and about his parents’ death. His parents died more than twenty years earlier, but the townsfolk can’t resist speculation that their deaths started with one parent pushing the other into the river. If they use such a tragic event as an opportunity to gossip and cast judgment, then they probably do the same with Frodo’s journey.

I can imagine hobbits staring pointedly at Frodo’s four-fingered hand, gossiping and making false assumptions about what misadventures he faced during his adventure, gossiping about his mysterious illnesses, maybe even whispering about him when he’s in sight and possibly within earshot.

Frodo wasn’t exactly a welcome member of hobbit society before the Quest, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if that gets worse when he comes back so visibly changed.

wrote the first two paragraphs of priory with tolkien’s elvish script. it’s not perfect but I’d like to think I’m improving!

[ID: the first two paragraphs of the priory of the orange tree written with the tengwar. it reads:

The stranger came out of the sea like a water ghost, barefoot and wearing the scars of his journey. He walked as if drunk through the haze of mist that clung like spidersilk to Seiiki.

The stories of old said water ghosts were doomed to live in silence. That their tongues had shrivelled, along with their skin, and that all that dressed their bones was seaweed. That they would lurk in the shallows, waiting to drag the unwary to the heart of the Abyss.

the ink is black, except for the last word (abyss), which is red. /end ID]

everyone thinks of all the kinslaying when they think about finwe’s descendants but what about before all of that? in my mind watching the noldor family drama is the elvish equivalent of jersey shore

There’s something about the Silmaril’s being thrown/vanishing into Water, Fire, and Air and then the three rings of power being associated with Water, Fire and Air it just feels so bittersweet

#slim #the silmarillion #the rings of power #three rings #lord of the rings #I had more to say about this but it was literally a half thought as I was falling asleep last night #but it really does hit me #like Elrond has the air associated ring #and his dad took his silmaril to the air #Gandalf has fire and he was sent to Arda in a time of great fire and strife #and Galadriel has water #which plays such a huge role in her life and the elves lives all around #but also Cirdan and if I remember right Gil-Galad had rings too so #anyway it makes sense to me #jrr tolkien #tolkien #lotrposting #silmposting

I think one of my favourite things about Haldir is that looking at all the other elves, they’re kiki. Looking at him? He’s a bouba elf.

The other elves are all super skinty with sharp features n shit, and even though I love that too…

When Haldir rocks up with his soft features, a little extra cushioning and the possibility of there being a bit of a tummy and some thick thighs under that armour?

I am a feral creature, crawling through the tv screen to get to Lothlórien. I want him to fold me and not stop until I’m pretzel shaped. I am a man unhinged and I need the thicc elf sat on my face tyvm.

#unhinged lotrposting #lotr haldir #lotr #lord of the rings #haldir of lothlorien #haldir of lorien #marchwarden of lothlorien #i want to lick him #I cant believe some people are like #’casting craig parker was certainly a choice’ #like fuck off #he was a GREAT choice #I’m not attracted to Mr Parker in the other things he’s been in #it’s literally just Haldir that does it for me #Haldir and Eowyn are the most attractive characters and nothing can convince me otherwise

I recently saw a poll in the Frodo Baggins tag asking if Sam could have destroyed the Ring on his own if Frodo died along the way. Currently people are overwhelmingly voting yes, and I’m sorry but that’s just not true.

Sam bears the Ring for about 24 hours. During that time, he puts on the Ring three times. And even if you have only seen the movies, you can tell he does not want to give the Ring back to Frodo - not necessarily out of concern for Frodo’s well-being but because the Ring is already tempting him, already calling to him to keep it for himself.

Also, even if the Ring hadn’t started to take hold of him so quickly, Sam would still succumb in the end, just as every other Ring-bearer succumbs. Even if he made it all the way to Mount Doom, Sauron’s power would still overwhelm him, and he would not be able to resist because nobody could resist.

Sam is a wonderful character, but he is no more immune to the Ring than anyone else. And it shows a poor understanding of the source material if you think that he (or anyone else) could successfully destroy the Ring on their own.
