'Fair lady!' said Frodo again after a while. 'Tell me, if my asking does not seem foolish, who is Tom Bombadil?' 'He is,' said Goldberry, staying her swift movements and smiling. Frodo looked at her questioningly. 'He is, as you have seen him,' she said in answer to his look. 'He is the Master of wood, water, and hill.' 'Then all this strange land belongs to him?' 'No indeed!' she answered, and her smile faded. 'That would indeed be a burden,' she added in a low voice, as if to herself. 'The trees and the grasses and all things growing or living in the land belong each to themselves. Tom Bombadil is the Master. No one has ever caught old Tom walking in the forest, wading in the water, leaping on the hill-tops under light and shadow. He has no fear. Tom Bombadil is master.'

not that anybody cares but the indie folk band Bombadil has gone through insane drama the past six years and finally finally finally my favorite songwriter in the band has returned after a failed engagement and a falling out and a hundred dick moves. he might suck as a guy and a boyfriend but by god the man can write a song. i can’t believe im going to see the whole band in concert this is crazy

uhuh, an one-off thing. fosho.

ye kno, that tale of urs only made me love aiwendil more. i encountered him once, ya see. & he was- there was this aura to him, like a silly goof w a power beyond any comprehension, see? & while this willow was tryin absorb me to death.(don't ask.) came aiwendil ye see, from some hills, dancing & singing to this "boom bap teel" bumble? & my hero, that one!! girlie talked to the tree, & ye just knew it had to be the aiwendil, who else does trees like that? dressed like some forest mushie lover, speakin in rhyme thru the yellow teeth?? anyway tree spat me out & i was threw writhing like a recently chewed worm; bro laughed, said something abt daisies & fucked off. from that day on!! i love him & shit💍 & i hear he was a catch in his youth. still is imo uwu. he did go on a lot about a goldberry though, wonder what kinda fruit that is - or shroom.

question unrelated, but olorin - what name do u choose were u to grow old in middle-earth? just curious🤠

I think you encountered that strange fellow Iarwain or something, not Aiwendil. Aiwendil is a lot more mischievous, and Iarwain is more on the unhinged side. Goldberry… I’ve heard of her. Let’s just say there was some history involved, not pleasant.

I didn’t know Iarwain was still alive. Last I met him he said he intended to take a long nap on the side of a hilltop and become some sort of rock. Never thought he’d still be kicking around here. I don’t know what he is, but he’s definitely not an ainu.

I think Eru shat him out.

As for your other question, honestly depends on where I’d have settled. But I would never be satisfied, honestly, because Middle-earth doesn’t have weed of quality matching that of Valinor. And most importantly, Curumo and Sauron are here, and I need to shit on em.

I don't think I've ever shared a picture of him, but this is my beautiful boy Mr Bombadil! He is very fluffy and very lovely ~ he's been through a lot but is so so precious ❣️❣️

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

'Who are you, Master?' he asked. 'Eh, what?' said Tom sitting up, and his eyes glinting in the gloom. 'Don't you know my name yet? That's the only answer. Tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless? But you are young and I am old. Eldest, that's what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the Little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless - before the Dark Lord came from Outside.'
