"'Come, Mr. Frodo!' he cried. 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!""
"Out of the depths came his last wail Precious, and he was gone. There was a roar and a great confusion of noise. Fires leaped up and licked the roof. The throbbing grew to a great tumult, and the Mountain shook."
"'The realm of Sauron is ended!' said Gandalf. 'The Ring-Bearer has fulfilled his Quest.' "
'For the Quest is achieved, and now all is over. I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam.
I don't remember that much of my childhood, but today I suddenly remembered that one time when I started a Tolkien inspired war at my school when I was 7-8 years old.
The war lasted for a week, the entire elementary and middle school joined. We had different armies, all inspired by different characters (I was in the Mickey Mouse army, we had a "general" who was an older boy who would wear a Mickey Mouse hat on the "battlefield", I was his right hand man lmao). We fought using sticks and by throwing chestnuts which we collected in great hordes, the army who stole all the chestnuts from the opposing armies won.
Then the teachers learned of it and they were horrified. They rushed to break it up and got hit with our chestnut artillery in the process. I don't remember how it ended, just that we were sad about it and we had to talk to therapists (???) afterwards.
My headphones died with 47 minutes left in RotK, and they take two hours to charge. So how do I occupy my time? Build a Minas Tirith throne room, and also set up a battlefield.
(Yes, I included some popular/beloved sequels here, not because I dislike them - hell, I downright love a couple! - but because these are literally ALL of the "Disney Princess" sequels that came out in the 90s and early 2000s. Don't @ me, just have fun voting lol)
Disclaimer: With these sequel polls, I will NOT include ones from the Walt Disney Animation Studios, which are as of June 1, 2023: The Rescuers Down Under, Fantasia 2000, Ralph Breaks the Internet, and Frozen 2.
Have fun voting and try not to start any fights over your personal faves! 😘
And when S5 El is actually Return of the King Aragorn fighting with Lucas (our ranger, Legolas) & Dustin (the perfect Gimli) & Erica (Merry/Pippin) offering themselves up to defeat the “main army” + save Max from where she’s lost in the UD, while Byler (Sam + Frodo) destroy Henry’s connection to their world through Will—
—what then. WHAT THEN
(bonus points for Arwen / Max parallels, where her life hung in the balance based on the result of the war, so when they win Lucas walks Max to see El like Legolas did Arwen to Aragorn so El gets a moment with the person who inspires her most)
been rewatching lord of the rings lately.... cannot get over how much those movies rule. they go so hard and they're so cool and viggo mortensen is so hot
