#Gwaihir

[velvet4510]

The Eagles saved Fingon & Maedhros from peril.

Then the Eagles saved Beren & Lúthien from peril.

Then the Eagles saved Bilbo & Thorin from peril.

Then the Eagles saved Frodo & Sam from peril.

The Eagles are actually Middle-earth’s first-rate matchmakers.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

(2012) dir. Peter Jackson

I love the contrast between Sauron and Gandalf's returns. One dies at the hands of his supposed allies. One dies defending his friends. One is reborn alone and has to kill and steal to survive. One is reborn with friends ready to aid him.

(and to add insult to injury, Galadriel is the one that gives Gandalf his new clothes)

Bumper sticker that says "My other car is an Eagle but it can't just fly me to Mordor that's not how it works."

On this day, September 18, Gandalf escaped the Tower of Orthanc by diving onto the back of Gwaihir the eagle. 🧙‍♂️🦅 Take that, Saruman! There is only one lord of the ring, and it ain’t you!!

Gwaihir the Windlord is an objectively badass name.
