#The Fellowship Of The Ring

[henry-fox-biggest-stan]

Can’t believe I just realized the hobbit starts with “an unexpected party” and lotr starts with “a long-expected party”

[enbyofdionysos]

I was expecting this scene from the extended edition of Fellowship but Frodo’s narration made me PUNCH a note in my phone to remember to come back to it later BECAUSE

“Had Bilbo known? He felt no doubt that Bilbo knew quite well. It was indeed a kingly gift.”

BILBO KNEW

and the way Andy read it made it sound like “it was after all a kingly gift” making it sound like Bilbo knew exactly what Thorin was doing when he was giving it to him

also, side note: because they use the word “corslet” instead of “shirt” I misheard “corset” at first and pictured

POV:

You have OCD, so the best way to cope is by bringing about world domination.

LOTR is so crazy because you’ll read the funniest, most sarcastic, gayest line known to man and then BOOM three pages later someone’s dead

studies from the fellowship of the ring

Lotr headcanon, having lots of patches on your clothes is fashionable in the Shire. The more patches, the cooler you are. Especially if it's a lot of different fabrics. It's common to trade patches with friends and family, and it's usually treated with high sentimental value. It's like carrying a piece of someone with you.

While the hobbits are on the quest, their clothes get holes and such. This leads Sam and Frodo to nab small things from the other members of the fellowship, like handkerchiefs or anything too worn for use, to use as patches. Merry and Pippin aren't so courteous, and cut pieces from the fellowship's clothes while they sleep.

Of course, the hobbits exchange patches amongst themselves while traveling, and they never go anywhere without a needle and some thread. Sam is the best at sewing. Pippin is not allowed around needles.

Boromir notices this, thinks it's adorable, and leaves things out purposely for the hobbits to use. Eventually, he asks about it, and they convince him to do the patches, too.

Aragorn also notices and thinks it's adorable, but doesn't bring it up to them. He's secretly flattered to find pieces of his rag on Frodo's pants. He asks Boromir about it instead.

Legolas doesn't notice. His clothes are elven-made, and the scissors refuse to cut it.

Gimli notices the random holes in his clothes, and the things going missing, but doesn't realize it's the hobbits. He brings it up to Legolas, who immediately convinces Gimli that he's crazy and it's all in his head.

Gandalf notices, obviously, and he doesn't mind until Pippin tries to cut his cloak while hes asleep. He proceeds to wake up and yell at him until dawn.

After Boromir dies, Aragorn takes his cloak, and sews pieces onto his clothes. These are the only patches he has.

Bilbo has a set of clothes with patches from the dwarves, from his own adventure. He told them about the tradition, and they all gave him pieces of fabric to use. He can still recount which patch belonged to who.

The Fellowship When I was a kid, my folks basically told me I was a hobbit. I cherish the memory of them reading all these books to me--and I turned around and read them to my little siblings and eventually to my partner! I've drawn and painted a lot for The Hobbit but never The Lord of the Rings, and this ECCC seemed like the right time to debut one!

Aragorn saying sharply and sternly “Do not despair!” and “Have hope!” IS the mood.
