#i love gollum

[dragonofsapphires]

look at this lil guy he's my favorite fictional character of all time he's the best he's my son

i drew this btw

[waywardsou2]

Am I the only one who sees a clear difference between Smeagol and Gollum?

Smeagol is clearly terrified, he was corrupted by the ring and hence Gollum was born. He did horrible things because the ring made him and it twisted his mind. He lost himself to the ring

Gollum is the greed, the hate, the hurt, the bad thoughts and actions. He is not Smeagol, they just share the same body

I was trying to talk to my dad about this and he argued that is was still the same person.

Just another reason for me to realise that my dad has no idea about mental health and will never even begin to understand the complicated thing that is a human mind.

But alas...Gollum/Smeagol is still my favourite and I wish people would appreciate him more

Request drawing: Gollum ♥ Being tortured by Mirkwood elves. Brutal creatures.

I'm reading the lord of the rings and I'm once again amazed at how... good most characters are. Like, they are genuinely good people. They are a bunch of kindhearted, gracious, caring people, coming together under adverse circumstances and trying to figure things out and find a solution and support each other through it all. Like Frodo and Sam meet Faramir and Faramir is a bit suspicious at first and kind of implies Frodo may be a spy, and then when he hears his story and he's like Frodo, I pressed you so hard at first. Forgive me! It was unwise in such an hour and place. And this blows.my.mind. He wasn't even particularly mean or threatening to him in the beginning, he's just such a kind, considerate man, recognizing the kindness and honesty of another man. And they're all like that. Even Gollum starts slowly changing (for a short while) when he encounters Frodo because that's the thing about kindness and humility and grace, they are contagious. They transform people, even a creature like Gollum cannot be immune to that. Like, you may consider all this simple and basic and I get it but, hear me out. It is quite rare to see that in modern media and it is also pretty difficult to pull off in a way that is not corny and simplistic. It is mind blowing that you actually don't have to present the entire palette of human cruelty and vice in order to tell a compelling story, contrary to popular belief. Lotr does the exact opposite, and it is just beautiful and it warms my heart. Especially taking into consideration tolkien's pretty grim growing-up experience, him being a double orphan without a home, raised between an orphanage and a priest and having no family apart from his brother and then the war and then he almost dies and then he's poor as hell and then a second war and it all makes sense somehow. He writes to his wife who is also an orphan two days before the marriage "the next few years will bring us joy and content and love and sweetness such as could not be if we hadn't first been two homeless children and had found one another after long waiting" and, yes, yes! The love and sweetness just radiate from his work, the entire lotr series is a little radiant bubble of hope and love and grace that he imagined in his head to deal with a dismal reality and then he just gave that to the world, and isn't that what imagination and art is all about after all?

So over the past few months I've started referring to my boys more and more as "my loves."

And I think I initially intended it so I could insert more historical romance vibes into my boring daily life, but I'm belatedly realizing now that vibe I've actually created is less maiden in a fancy gown writing with a quill pen, and more, Gollum.

Some common quotes you may hear from me:

"Mustn't go outside today, my loves, the heat is so nasties." "What is it that is inside your little mouthy, my love??" "Spit it out, my love, spit it out!" "Ah, I see we have cronched a bug, my love. It was cronchy, yes? But we mustn't eat them." "We mustn't be on the countertop, my love!" "Such lovely fish breath today, my love." "That is indeed a lovely butthole, my love. Thank you for showing me." "Here you go, my loves: wet, warm, and juicy!" (as I give them lightly heated canned food) "What a most pungent stink, my love. Did you have a nice shit?" "You claws are like needles, my love. They are sinking into me tiddy."

Gothic maiden vibes failed.

Bonus, picture of my loves:

finally drew something for my LOTR au where a shard of sauron can appear to the wearer through the ring. it's kind of like the shinigami in death note.

side note: sauron design partially inspired by aku from samurai jack.. hell yes

this is not normal;…!!!! AUGAHAHHHHH LITTLE GUYS HAVE TAKEN OVER MY LIFE!!

part 1 part 3

[live-laugh-legolas]

I’m primarily interested in the fellowship, but I would love to hear your thoughts on anyone else as well on

1. The weirdest non-food item each character has eaten

2. Why they ate it (thought it was something else? Dare?)

3. Would they do it again

This is so Pippin coded. This was too fun

Eating non-edible items

Aragorn:

1) A bite from a foam football

2) He was a feral child

3) He wouldn’t swallow it again but he would bite again

Legolas:

1) Fake grapes

2) Thought they were real

3) Yes because he still thinks they were real

Gimli:

1) Silica gel packets

2) The “do not eat” is clearly a challenge and he’s no chump

3) No. He seriously regrets it and won’t admit he ever tried

Boromir:

1) Poisonous berries

2) He saw Legolas eating them

3) Never again; Legolas was fine but Boromir couldn’t stop shitting for a week

Frodo:

1) Sand and mud

2) Good texture and abundant

3) Possibly

Sam:

1) Playdough

2) Listen; he made pretend burgers and obviously he had to try them

3) Absolutely. Might not like it much anymore but it tastes like childhood

Merry:

1) Electrical chords

2) He didn’t eat it but he chewed right through it on a dare

3) Will try to get them again saying “the zap was thrilling” but no one lets him near chords anymore

Pippin:

1) Do any of you remember that blue tack they used in school to pin up posters? He would eat that shit

2) Because he was the kid that put everything in his mouth

3) He wouldn’t eat it now but he does reminisce about it like it was a delicacy

Gandalf:

1) Urinal cake… unused

2) He saw it in a store and it has cake in the name so obviously he had to try it. Didn’t realize it wasn’t actually cake.

3) He finished it out of stubbornness but will never do it again

Faramir:

1) Pink wall insulation

2) Hoped his dad would care and stop him Thought it was cotton candy

3) No

Denethor II:

1) Bleach

2) Idk who…wasn’t me…but he was poisoned

3) No because he’s dead

Gollum:

1) I was going to say babies but they technically are edible…

2) Do we need a why?

3) Definitely. Bringing your kid around him is like those people who walk their tiny dogs by gator ponds

[mirellapryce]

A sweet but stupid thought to round everything out after all those posts just now. First, please picture Edwin calling Charles precious. Because that's what Charles is to him, the most precious and treasured person in his universe.

Now try not to imagine him saying it in Gollum's voice.

couldn't find the other images i have of them but i'm a huge fan of the way pete looks at rusty sometimes it's really banger if you ask me

[squwhims]

Guys, I am cooking up the most comprehensive "which joker out member are you" quiz imaginable right now. I literally entered a trance thinking of questions while I was sweeping at work tonight. This quiz is going to be so jam packed with options, you guys aren't gonna know what hit you. Just a fair warning.
