lord of the rings + love pt. 2 (pt. 1)

something absolutely lovely about especially the first half of fellowship is that the hobbits keep meeting random kind helpful strangers - the elves, bombadil, butterbur, aragorn (also farmer maggot and his wife, though they're not strangers) - until the book solidifies in you the feeling that these are not really instances of random luck, but rather the inherent nature of the world. kind people are everywhere, and no matter where you are, there is surely someone closer than you think that would offer help if you needed it. it's such a beautiful theme across all of LOTR, and it's very sweet to me that it starts from the very beginning of the journey, on such a 'small' (comparatively), everyday scale

honestly elves SHOULD be over represented in adventurer groups. like, what, you're gonna live 700 hundred years and NOT do an adventure? not even once? not even on accident?

I’m entering my Tolkien phase again.

Super sorry about being so absent the last months :(

underrated lotr moment is gandalf’s “let me risk a little more light” so the fellowship can see the ruins of dwarrowdelf.

I think it’s been said before but I really love how Tolkien does consequences of individual actions in his writing. For example Bilbo vs Gollum in regards to the ring. Gollum starts off his “relationship” to the ring with a murder and can’t let it go it consumes him. While Bilbo starts his with kindness by choosing not kill Gollum using the ring, and because of that he more able to give it up and then this act of kindness leads to middle earth being saved. I just really love how Tolkien continually shows how much individual actions and choices matter through his work. It’s one of the reasons he is one of my favourite authors.
