#ohh hobbit movies

[capisback]

watching adaptations of books can be a very tense experience because even if they did it well, they are bound to change things because of the nature of adaptations and you're not always going to agree with what they did. the number of times I've gone "from a storytelling standpoint, I can completely understand why they changed it, I'm just not sure I agree with the changes" is crazy

[professorjirt]

not to be bitter about the Durins again but it will never stop pissing me off to a burning degree that in the movies Kíli dies off in a little corner with no one but one elf he met two days ago around, and she’s nerfed to the point she’s utterly helpless until RIGHT AFTER he’s killed. It feels so bullshit and unfulfilling. I remember me and a friend were huge fans of the Durins (her even more than me) as well as the little Kíli and Tauriel side story back when the movies came out, and we watched it in theatres and she literally said she would never watch that scene again bc it disappointed her so badly. She skips it to this day. Bc why the fuck did they have Kíli die for an elf he barely knew (I like Tauriel but it is true— they’ve known each other for maybe two or three days total) over the family he ran out into battle to defend, the family he set out on the quest with and the family that he was so proud of. Why was he not with his brother, or trying to defend his uncle who was still very much alive and in danger? Tauriel literally just serves to get Kíli killed in that scene, bc they nerf her (CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD. Even against a tough orc she should be holding her own) but have Legolas out there holding his own, and it is nowhere NEAR as emotionally devestating as the single sentence we’re given in the book of how Kíli and Fíli went down defending their uncle. I can almost excuse the change in how Fíli dies bc it does hold emotional weight, but Kíli’s death going from the devotion of family even to his own doom into dying for an elf he has puppy love for while being totally cut off from the other dwarves fucking killed the scene for me. And there isn’t really even a good payoff for Tauriel afterward either. We just leave her there regretting she ever loved him. It hurts me so damn much, and not least of which is because for every video someone does as a tribute to Thorin and his nephews, it always takes a sharp left turn into Tauriel watching Kíli die all by himself and it doesn’t even feel related to the other’s deaths. I think it would have felt much more like the best of both if they’d kept Kíli dying defending his family, and then have Tauriel come to him as he’s dying. But that’s not what happened. It fucking sucks. I promise I do like the movies but I will stand hard by saying that it’s weakest writing is the latter half of the second and the former half of the third movie. It only really picks up to consistently good scenes at Thorin’s battle with Azog in my opinion. Sorry for another brief hater moment but man. Man.

Okay but bad enough he just lost his complicated-quasi-daughter-figure to a Kinslayer Adoption, there is no way that Thranduil-I-lost-family-in-Doriath-You-Fuck would let his son run around unguarded when there’s a Fëanorian around. Legolas is going to spend the entire battle basically trapped like an oversized melon under his dad’s arm with Thranduil hissing and doing sword-tricks anytime somebody comes too close. No bat-riding for you this time kid, you’re in the They Will Kinslay You Over My Dead Body And Their Own Zone now.

Hobbit AU where everything is the same except Maglor shows up to yell at Gandalf and Thranduil about the stupidity of going to war over a shiny rock. He’s also disappointed in Bilbo, Bard, and Thorn, but they’re all Second Born, so he’s not sure how much history they know.

They leave the Arkenstone unguarded in Thranduil’s tent for approximately five seconds and when they come back, Maglor is sitting on Thranduil’s fancy chair wiht his arms crossed.

Just… imagine the look on the face of Thranduil (a survivor of Doriath) when he walks into his tent and there’s a SON OF FEANOR sitting there with the Arkenstone in front of him. FUCKKKKK.

No one is certain how he got in there. The guards never saw him.

At this point, everyone in Middle Earth had assumed he was dead, because there hadn’t been ANY sign of him since the Sinking of Beleriand.

Gandalf doesn’t know what’s about to happen, but he knows it has the potential to provide great entertainment (or end in tragedy, but either way, he’s looking forward to it). He’s looking forward to telling Elrond and Galadriel, because he’s certain they will have highly emotional (and very different) reactions.

Bilbo doesn’t know why everyone fell silent when they walked into the tent, so he just politely bows to Maglor and introduces himself as “Bilbo Baggins, at your service.”

Maglor gives him a funny look - because he knows that offering your service to a Fëanorian is a really bad idea - but he decides the funny little creature looks too innocent to scold, so he smiles and bows his head. “Well met,” he says. “A star shines on the hour of our meeting.”

Thranduil internally screams at the word “star”

Then Maglor just starts shouting at Thranduil and Gandalf, calling them all fucking stupid. He asks Thranduil if he enjoyed the Kinslaying at Doriath, since he’s about to do the same fucking thing (‘It’s not the same!’ Thranduil argues. “Oh really?” Maglor asks, “You’re not about to go into an underground Kingdom to flush out the native inhabitants, ALL OVER A ROCK”)

Bard and Bilbo are looking at each other like ‘do you know him?’ ‘no, don’t you?’ (Bilbo is highly upset because he’s considered an elf that could be so rude or that there was any such thing as an elf with a ‘hobo aesthetic’)

Thranduil is, of course, offended to be compared to the Feanorians, so he shouts back that those are bold words for someone who came to claim the Silmaril for himself.

Maglor stands up - and he’s taller than all of them - and just picks up the Arkenstone in his bare hand.

Everyone goes silent. Thranduil is waiting for him to start burning. Bilbo is seeing their chance at using the Arkenstone to prevent battle slipping away. Gandalf knows what’s coming, and he’s having a BLAST.

“YOU THOUGHT THIS PIECE OF SHIT WAS A SILMARIL?”

[crowleys-dark-sunglasses]

Thinking about the fact that in sophomore year chemistry I wore a lotr shirt to school one day after winter break and apparently my chemistry teacher was a total lotr nerd and was feeling generous cause this was our exact conversation

"Hey! You like lotr?"

"Yeah :)) we actually watch the movies every year on new years"

"Ohh cool! Who's your favorite character"

"Pippin, he's actually a very underrated character and most people don't realize it"

"That's true, yeah. Have you read the books?"

"No, I don't own them and can never find them at the library"

"Do you want the books?"

"What?"

"I have so many copies of the books I can give you the whole set if you want"

"Sure, I mean yeah if that's okay!"

"Ofc, give me a day or two"

And then literally the next day he comes to my desk and dramatically slams the whole lotr trilogy AND the hobbit on my desk right after class starts and just goes "I threw in an extra for you"

I loved that teacher so much he was actually the best, the whole class was staring at us like we were insane tho lmaooo

What's your favorite BuckTommy head canon?! :)

Ohh, good question. I never really thought about it but now that you asked me... I actually have a few.

- Tommy can't cook to save his life and Buck teases him about it a lot ("how did you even survive without me"), but he actually loves it, because he likes to cook in general, but especially for Tommy

- Tommy hates social events where he has to do small talk. So now he just introduces "my partner Evan" and he does all the talking for him

- Tommy has a cat named Olivia and she does not like Buck. The first time Tommy introduces them she hisses at Buck und tries to scratch him. And then Tommy has to leave for a few days for his job und he asks Buck to be the cat sitter. Buck says yes of course but he does not like it at all. And Olivia denies the food Buck gives to her and once Tommy is back she looks at him like "nobody fed me, why did you leave me alone with this peasant". We'll see if she warms up to Buck at some point, not sure yet 😆

- Buck loves Tommy reading to him. Tommy tells him one time that his favourite book is the Lord of the Rings and when Buck says he has never read the books, only seen the movies, Tommy is absolutely horrified. So he tells Buck that he has to read the books because they are like "the greatest of all time" and Buck really tries but he only makes it through half the first book ("you know this could have been two instead of 40 pages. Is this Bombadil dude really that important? He did not even make it into the movie"). So Tommy does the only reasonable thing "sit down, I am going to read this to you and you will enjoy it". And Buck actually does. He couldn't care less about the ents and the orks and "why the hell did they not just ask the eagles to drop the ring into Mount Doom in the first place" ...but Tommys voice? Absolut heaven. Smooth and sultry and so fucking intoxicating, that Buck could listen to him read the damn phone book and he would not mind at all. So he gets through The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. And maybe once they're done he asks Tommy to start reading The Hobbit as well...because you know, just so that he can get the whole story "would be unfair not to listen to Bilbos story, right"...

(Hopefully no Lord of the Rings fan will have my head for this, because I actually do prefer the movies to the books even though I read all three and the Hobbit. Sorry 😅🙈)

[bluegekk0]

Thoughts? On reading books? Any?

ohh i used to read a lot years back. i don't remember most of the titles, but i do remember reading through both jurassic park novels, as well as the lord of the rings and the hobbit. oh, i also read most of the assassins creed novelizations. or ig novels cause some of them weren't direct adaptations of the games. i used to be a huge ac fan back then haha

these days i pretty much don't read at all. i can't exactly say why, but i do know i find it difficult to focus. or, more precisely, i lose interest quickly. i can read for an hour straight but then i struggle to pick it back up the next day and finish it. i suppose that does make it an attebtion span issue

i remember buying the first dune book with the intention of reading it to see how it compared to the movie (which i enjoyed a lot) and what was in store for the sequel. but i never finished it. there's also the sauropod encyclopedia i got, which i have looked through but haven't finished reading either, unfortunately

i already accepted that perhaps reading just isn't for me anymore. i could try forcing myself to do it but at that point it'd just become a chore instead of something to do for fun. and that defeats the whole point

Top 5 movie soundtracks OR individual pieces/songs within :3

Ohh thank you!!

Number one to no-one's surprise is the LOTR soundtrack, we're all here for LOTR, we all know I'm fucking insane about LOTR, no news here, I didn't buy a whole book about just the sountrack because I'm normal about it asjhdksjhfdngv My favourite bits of the LOTR soundtrack are: The Battle of Pelennor Fields and The Mouth of Sauron from the full recordings, Concerning Hobbits, Minas Tirith, The White Tree and Breaking of the Fellowship from the regular versions, and of course every single time Reclamation of Nature appears. and the songs that end the movies. and everything else also

Cheating a little bit and including a show soundtrack but I have to mention the Lost OST - Michael Giacchino is CRAZY for this one. My favourite bit of trivia is that they actually used some pieces of the plane wreckage as percussion instruments - they just took some metal pieces off the set and into the recording studio. My favourite pieces of the soundtrack would have to be Life and Death, of course, and Parting Words from season one finale, they give me chills every time. But this whole soundtrack in general is so unique, the show wouldn't be the same without it.

Next up is the Blues Brothers soundtrack! Truly a formative piece of media, both in terms of humor and my music taste. I have known all these songs since I was a literal baby, because my parents' music taste honestly slaps. My favourite song is Everybody Needs Somebody To Love, but honestly all of them are amazing (you have Aretha Franklin AND James Brown AND Ray Charles AND so many others, there was no chance this soundtrack was going to be bad)

I have given it my best, but I cannot for the life of me think of numbers 4 and 5 that would fit those three in terms of how much I like them, so here are some honorable mentions instead: PotC (absolute banger, I'm not invested in the movies as personally as in my Favourites but that music is a classic), Ocean's 11-13 (it's so FUN), Good Omens season 1 (perfect balance of original music and Queen songs. side eyes season 2. take me back to 2019)

as always, I feel like I'm forgetting everything I've ever watched sdsjhfkdjshkjfhj

Thank you for asking!! 💚

[naifahsaiyara]

So some days ago, I decided to read the hobbit and the lord of the rings. And i finished reading the hobbit. And it was fun. There was a meddling wizard, stupid trolls who argue over cooking methods, nasty goblins, wolves, giant spiders, nice elves, a slightly creepy creature living beside an underground lake, an awesome magic ring, ( yes, i thought that a magic ring which can turn you invisible was pretty neat while reading the hobbit, thank you very much, can we please move on), some nice elves and men, a dragon, a mountain full of treasure, 13 dwarves who seemed to share a single brain cell amongst them and a hobbit who by sheer dumb luck made it to the mountain. Okay so dwarves are greedy bastards and doesn't want to share their gold? Poor lake people got their town burned oh please guys give that bard guy some gold he killed a DRAGON for goodness' sake. Where does the army of elves came from? Why do they want gold? It's not theirs, well factor some not nice elves. There's a pretty shiny rock, oohh i guess that's important ( then i also read a book about 3 pretty shiny rocks and the number of people who died or were killed for them, 😐)Ahh, there is a dwarf army too, i guess they'll fight it out. ooh poor hobbit, don't you dare hurt him mr. Dwarf King. What's that in the horizon? An army of the mutual enemy who wants to kill everyone? And everyone united to kill them instead? How are the eagles involved again? Ohh the king and his nephews are dead, his cousin is now king, well at least he apologized before dying. Ohh bilbo returned home. Okay the end. It was good.

Then i watched the movies.

WHAT? Are you telling me THiS Guy here is Thorin Oakenshield? But but, he is going to dieeee. I don't want him to die. Wait, Fili and Kili are so cute, but they are also going to die.

Ahhh, complex dwarf character, they had a home and then the dragon happened and now they don't have a home and they want their home back even if it means there are only 13 of them, (and a hobbit, and a wizard though he might run away at times, who knows, wizards) against a dragon. It is about reclaiming your home and not only about the gold, ahhh someone kill me imma die from the feels.

Wait, why are you making the- are you making the already hot exiled dwarf king even more hot and complex and broody, it is not fair, he is going to die in the end. Where is the dmaned director, i hate you.

No no heart don't you dare fall in love this guy is going to die and break your heart in the end, red flags, red flags, abort mission.

Waiitttt, so there is the hobbit and the dwarf, are you sureee there is nothing going on between them?

So the little dwarf prince fell for a elf, and his uncle hates elves cause they didn't help them when the dragons came, okay then, but i miss the nice elves from the books, but this elvenking is also kinda hot.

Does this elf prince have spider powers? Man he is reminding me of peter parker how is he maintaining balance while fighting like that?

Oooh damn, bard is also hot. *Screams in a pillow*

I feel like the 3rd movie is gonna break my heart.

Okay the dragon's gone, i likey like bard's children, they are cute. Go away Alfred no one wants to hear you. Annddddd Thorin went mad, so did some dwarves to a lesser degree, and bilbo is sad, you can't literally see the heartbreak in his eyes, you can feel it across the screen, i am also sad bilbo. You are not alone.

Ahhh Thorin smiled at Bilbo and gave him mithril shirt, are you absolutely sure they are just friends mr. Director?

Thorin's eyes, i can see how they turn back and forth between blue and black. I feel the struggle. Ahhh come on Thorin you can fight it.

Ahhh, Bofur you are Bilbo's bff, i knew it.

Wait, are you also sure there's nothing going on between Thranduil and Bard? Or the wizard and the badass lady?

Here it comes, here it comes, the battlement scene, Thorin don't hurt bilbo can't you see you are breaking his heart and mine too.

Ahh Dain is funny. The elves fight so pretty.

See, this is what happens when you ignore the wizard, damn you people, he was trying to tell you about the army since foreever, why are you acting so surprised now.

Is legolas into gymnastics? How the hell could he fight like that? I thought elves were nature lovers and star gazers, i didnt know they were into acrobatics.

Oh thank Eru Thorin's fine now. Yee boys go and bash some orc skulls. No, nooo don't go there there is another army ahhh. *Screams into pillow again*

Nooo, FILIII.... *Starts crying 😭😭😭*

KILI not you tooo ... Tauriel is sad, so am i.

Ahhhh THORIN 😭😭😭😭 ahdievxosnwbixjqoevdooqnckcn

He dies, he dies in his Hobbit's arms and you cannot tell me they are just friends, I don't- i won't believe it.

* screams and cries and throws things, there are tissues scattered everywhere, the family members thinking i am mad.*

So mr. director come here let's have a chat, i have cookies. *Creepy smile.*

Why did you make a greedy dwarf king into a three dimensional complex character who is prideful but also wants the best for his people, and casted a damned hot guy as him and made him look at the camera like THAT and smile like THAT when you knew he was goinggg to dieeee? I was not mentally prepared for this shit and now i have trauma and it's your fault and i swear I'm gonna murder you with conkers you-

Four unexpected but beloved surprises: Miraculous Ladybug and the Hobbit crossover part 2.

After the elflings bathed (which they did in pair's) They came out in oversized button up shirts that Bilbo didn't wear anymore with shorts and their hair washed and braided Bilbo smiled at the sight of the squeaky clean elflings who all waddled over to him looking adorable in the slightly oversized shirts.

Bilbo told the children that he will be back because he's going outside to hang their hand washed clothes and have a smoke.

The four young elflings inside looked around the hobbit hole to explore their surroundings "this is like something in a fantasy game, movie or Manga." Nino said his once deep voice now sounding like light bells "Yeah and Mr Baggins is really nice to." Tikki said happily "We should do something nice for him as thank you." Alya said "Yeah we could bake him a cake." Marinette said "Let's do that." Adrien said happily "Alright. Mari makes the best chocolate cake." Trixx said as the children found the ingredients to start baking miraculously not making a mess.

While the cake was baking in the oven they washed the dishes and whipped the counter from the little powder, then started making the frosting.

Bilbo came back into his hole after a good and not interrupted smoke to be hit by a gorgeous smell, following his nose he saw the children take out a delicious looking chocolate cake out of the oven, his baking pans freshly washed and his kitchen still miraculously clean "Your back Mister Bilbo." Mari said excitedly grabbing his hand to lead him to the cake "We baked you a cake. As a thank you." Alya said as she and the boys gently put the cake on the counter to cool down.

Bilbo could feel his mouth water at the sight of the cake.

After tea Bilbo helped the children decorate the cake and took a slice to taste test and he felt himself melt from the savory flavor of the cake "Ohh my this is amazing." He said looking at the children with pleased eyes "You should thank Mari." Adrien said in praise "Yeah Marinette makes the best deserts back in our world, her parents are well known  bakers after all." Nino said happily "Well they taught you very well my dear. Let's save this for dessert after supper." Bilbo said happily putting a glass cover over the cake.

That night:

It was finally time for dinner Bilbo had made fish for dinner with help from the children and kwamis of course.

They sit at the table, the children said their thanks and they began to prepare to eat when a knocking was heard.

Bilbo and the elflings looked at the door in curiosity "Are you expecting someone Mister Baggins?" Nino asked while the other three elflings and the kwamis still stared at the door "No one that I know of! You all can start eating." He said getting up to answer the door.

Before they got ready to eat the elflings and Kwamis heard a deep voice speak "Dwalin... at your service." The man named Dwalin said walking into the house and towards them but when he saw them he stopped in his tracks "He never said anything about children." Dwalin said looking down at the little ones fondly until he saw their ears 'how did he get elfling? I thought elves were very protective of they're young.' He thinks to himself looking at the children again but grins upon seeing the untouched fish on the table.

The elflings and Kwamis are in shock seeing a strange man eating Bilbo's fish by the head first "This guy is tough." Plagg said sitting on Adrien's shoulder as the others could only stare until Bilbo walked in but gave them a stern look "Children it is impolite to stare at guest." He scolded making them blush "Sorry." They all said "It's quite alright th-" Dwalin didn't get to finish as a knock was heard "That be the door." He said making the four elflings and kwamis giggle but Bilbo rolled his eyes.

Marinette, Alya, Adrien and Nino along with the kwamis followed Bilbo to the door to reveal on the other side an older man with grey white hair "Balin. At your service." He said bowing "Good evening." Bilbo said "Yes... yes it is though I think it might rain later." He said walking in until he saw Dwalin "I just realized that their names rhymed." Marinette whispered to Alya who nodded "Yeah! I wonder if we'll meet more dwarves with rhyming names." She whispered back "Oh brother." Balin said walking over to Dwalin "By my beard your shorter and wider the last time we meet." He said walking over to the older male with a jar stuck on his hand "Wider not shorter." Balin said as they grabbed each other's shoulders and head butted "That looked painful." Trixx said rubbing his head while everyone else cringed at the feeling.

The two dwarves began heading to Bilbo's pantry while talking and taking out food while Bilbo is trying to talk to them Mari, Adrien, Nino and Alya stand by Bilbo eating some biscuits they managed to grab from the basket while the kwamis ate their own.

Another knock is heard and the four elflings and kwamis can see irritation in the poor hobbit's eyes "poor Mr Bilbo." Trixx said "Your right Trixx. I too would be irritated if uninvited guests suddenly showed up at my door." Alya said to the Kwami of illusion "I can't help but feel like someone is behind this." Tikki said from Mari's shoulder eating the last bite of her biscuit until a knock was heard.

On the other side of the door we're two dwarves that looked alike but one had blond hair and a full beard while the other had dark hair and some stubble "Fili." Said the blond "And Kili." Said the dark haired one "At your service." They said together making the little ones and kwamis laugh "Nope you can't come in." Bilbo said as he is about to close the door Kili stopes it with his foot "What, Has it been cancelled?" He asked making Bilbo confused and jumble his words until they came in and tracked mud.

There are now four dwarves in Bilbo's hole and boy did Bilbo looked like he was going to snap and he's trying to keep his positions from being dirtied and broken by asking the four elflings to hide them in his room.

After they hid the stuff in Bilbo's room the four elflings and kwamis come back to see Bilbo opening the door only to find an avalanche of dwarves dropping at his door and a wizard behind them "Gandalf!" They hear Bilbo say in rage "I have a feeling that this fellow is behind this." Plagg whispered "His hat looks cool." Nino said missing his own hat that fell off his head after Lila impaled them.

The four elflings and Kwamis can only stare in terror with the fact that there were twelve dwarves in total pillaging Bilbo's pantry and taking out things Bilbo doesn't want them touching and he was starting to lose his patience "My dear Bilbo what on earth is the matter?" Gandalf asked Bilbo who looked ready to have a cow.

As Bilbo is complaining about the dwarves to Gandalf the children got their food with help from the dwarves who are surprised that there are elflings in the shire "What are elven children doing in the Shire?" The dwarf named Gloin asked the dwarf Bofur who shrugged "I don't know but they are a cute bunch." He said eyeing the little ones who are happily getting plates for themselves with help from other dwarves. "CHEESE." Plagg said flying over to one of the huge wheels of cheese Bombur had making the dwarves jaws drop "Is that some sort of fairy?" Ori asked in amazement as Gandalf and the dwarves stared in awe "Thank you Plagg, Bravo." Tikki said sarcastically as she, Trixx and Wayzz clapped sarcastically "Well it's only fair if they know too." Adrien said eating a baked potato "I agree with Adrien after all Mr Baggin's knows about you guys plus Hawkmoth and Mayuura aren't around anymore and I doubt there is a bigger threat here." Nino said munching on a chicken leg "They do have a good point." Alya whispered to Marinette "Yeah!" She whispered to the older girl "What are they?" Gandalf asked in surprised awe gently lifting a finger and poking Wayzz a bit "They are Kwamis." Nino said walking into the room with Gandalf's hat on his little head making him look funny and everyone laughed.

Soon everyone was cleaning but while washing the dishes the dwarves sang a very catchy song that the children and kwamis couldn't help but clap along with until a knocking was heard "He is here!" Gandalf said.

Gandalf opens the round green door to reveal one more dwarf that looked like Fili and Kili “Could he be their dad?” Alya asked.

[andthebubbles]

rop 2x05-06

man those two were some BANGIN eps

sauron is totally flying by the seat of his pants and winning

sauron doing magic aka some fancy huge illusion just for his new bestie brimby!

why is celebrimbor a bit............. like.......... idk is it sauron's influence that he was forgetting mirdania's name and being short-tempered and all? or...

also, the workshop equipment going flying, was that sauron doing magic shenanigans or...

oh and mirdania apparently seeing the unseen world? what was that? iiii should read a synopsis of this ep haha

kemen you absolute TWIT

bad day in politics for pharazon and friends when the sea spat miriel back out lmao he gambled big and lost

elendil's voice (well, the actor, but elendil too) is just skjfngkfg soooo good for stage. so... sonorous

enjoying eärien as always. elendil is as stubborn as a dwarf

SPEAKING OF DWARVES, i LOVED that scene with durin and disa in ep 6 when durin started crying 🥺

elrond and durin (esp durin bc he's up close to it) and disa being the only ones to see through the bullshit

oh yeah, brimby needs a hug. there was one very blorbo pathetic moment of him where he was all sooty and 🥺 :3

so did i miss something re disa and how she can apparently... summon animals with her voice.....................?

i like adar

i also like isildur. who was not in these two eps. where is he skjfngkg

oh yeah... random arondir...? i forgot what he was doing haha, just wandering around the forest and killing orcs? i guess i should check ep 4, but nah, i can live in confusion

okay now for the bad. i disliiiiiiiiiiike the stranger's storyline and the hobbits'. aaaaaaaaargh

so the stranger is gonna spend a whole season finding his stick...?

tom bombadil is such a fucking annoying character. imo

that line of his, something like ~some that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life~ ... wasn't that in one of the lotr movies orrrrr... well anyway

man, when poppy and nobody kissed, i was like WTFFFF something straight is happening here

ohh back to the good: i loved how durin's dad (is his name also durin... iii... anyway) was like, when he put down the ring, and then he was like where is it; very reminiscent of frodo and gollum haha

so... galadriel is indeed right that sauron is gonna take adar's army or.................................

i like to imagine that adar was being literal when he said that the orcs are his children. man was busy being perpetually pregnant for like the last 1000 years

gil-galad and his hair is soooo unserious skjfngkfng ever since someone pointed out on tumblr that hair isn't usually like that (around his ear and all) i haven't been able to unsee it and skjfng i can't take him seriously anymore 😂

elrond's hair being perfectly curly :3

okay if i remember anything else i will add to this

Last thing googled: 100 best date ideas. I just like getting ideas on dates or anything to do really. I get bored pretty easily so i tend to spend hours researching different things to do "when board at home" or if I need ideas on what to do when hanging out with friends.

Current obsession: (Updated) ohh i still do like tolkien but I am starting to venture out into other things as well! I would have to say undecided right now! If I had to state something though it would be Pokemon. Definitely Pokemon . I love Pokemon more than anything actually.

💜💚❤

Saturday's been good so far! I'm gonna watch the Hobbit movies with my friend today! I also just got back from a driving class and I didn't hit anything again so it's a win in my books (I can't park yet. But it's something!)

ohh I haven't seen the hobbit movies in so long, I hope you guys have fun! and don't worry about the parking, with a little bit of practice you'll get it :]

I stg the internet has completely fucked me for men with long hair. It always looks so good. Way better than short hair that’s for sure

I just realized my current Tolkien flip very much correlates with me being the most stressed about uni I’ve been so far

Online Dating

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader

Summary: Sam sets Bucky up for a dating app, and he meets Y/N.

Word Count: 1,168

“This is ridiculous Sam, why are you making me do this?” 

Sam set Bucky up for online dating. Bucky wasn’t too pleased. “Right, picture time.” Sam picks up Bucky’s phone and starts snapping some photos of him. “Go stand over there.” Bucky mumbles a ‘for god’s sake’ under his breath and moves by the window where Sam has pointed. He adds them to Bucky’s profile and enters a few questions for him. “What’s your favourite book?” Sam asks. “The Hobbit.” Sam gives him a puzzled look. “How the hell do you know the Hobbit?” 

“I read it in 1937. When it first came out.” He just sighs and adds it into the profile. “We need to add some of your interests.” Bucky pauses, he only knows his old interests, from before he was frozen. He wasn’t up to date with any new things yet, he hadn’t found the time. “We’ll just put some generic stuff.” Sam types on his phone quickly, and puts it down on the table. “Done.” 

Bucky picks up the phone, scanning his new profile. “38?” He questions. “Well, we can’t put your real age, can we?”

Bucky Barnes. 

38. 

Into working out, drinking, watching movies, dancing, reading. 

Favourite book? The Hobbit. 

Favourite film? The Hobbit.

“But I’ve never seen the film,” Sam rolls his eyes. “Well you can watch it tonight then, can’t you.”

Night owl or morning person? Night owl. 

Old-fashioned or young at heart? Definitely old-fashioned.

Ideal date? Movie and drinks. 

“I guess that’ll do. Ahh, Sam, it’s making a noise, what did I do?” He shakes his head and snatches the phone from Bucky’s hands. “It means you have a match.” Sam clicks a few buttons and shows Bucky. “See, she matched with you. It means she’s interested. Her name is Y/N. Do you want to message her?” Bucky nods his head. “How do I do that? Phone message Y/N!” He shouts directly at the phone. “Oh my god, no.” 

Sam spends the rest of the afternoon teaching Bucky how to use dating app, and eventually all the other apps on his phone. “Is this why you don’t answer my texts? Because you don’t know how to?” Sam laughs slightly. “I am 106 years old, Wilson!” 

Once Sam has taught Bucky how to work his phone and left Bucky to his own devices, the app makes another noise. Now knowing what this means, he opens it up to see he has a message. 

Hey there, I must say you look so familiar! - Y/N

Hello, it’s lovely to meet you, Y/N. I’m not sure why, guess I just have one of those faces. - Bucky 

You must! It is a lovely face nonetheless. - Y/N

Why thank you, doll face. Yours is just as lovely, if not more. - Bucky

Oh, aren’t you a little flirt Bucky! - Y/N

They spoke all evening. They ended up having a lot more in common than Bucky had expected. Y/N even proposed the ideas of going out to drinks later on in the week, Bucky thought it was a fabulous idea. They planned to meet on Friday, at 8pm at a bar close to both of their places. 

“So, tonight, huh?” Sam teased, Bucky had told him all his updates, well, more like Sam forced him to tell him all his updates. “Yes. I’ve already planned what I’m going to wear, I feel like a 14 year old school girl with a crush.” Sam laughs and pats him on the back. “I’m not surprised, she’s gorgeous and it’s been a hell of a long time since you’ve been on a date.”  These words are such a relief to Bucky. “She’s probably just as nervous as you.” 

“NATASHA! Where is my black dress?” Y/N screams, rummaging through a pile of clothes on the floor. “You have about 20 black dresses, Y/N. Be more specific.” Natasha yells back from another room. “The one with the mesh sleeves! I need it for my date tonight!” No luck in the growing pile, she heads to her roommate’s closet and starts searching. “There it is, you little thief!” Natasha hides her laughter. “Oops.” 

When Y/N finishes getting ready, it’s 7:15pm. She’s way too early to leave yet, the bar was only a 10 minute walk. Natasha pours herself and her roommate a drink and the two of them sit at their table. “Why won’t you tell me who you’re going on a date with?” Nat questions, sipping her beverage. “Because you’ll search them up, and do a background check like you always do, and then tell me not to go, But I really like this one, I wanna work him out on my own thank you.” Y/N sticks her tongue out sarcastically and takes a gulp of her drink. “Fine. But if you’re not back by the morning, I’m organising a search team for your body.” Rolling her eyes, Y/N replies. “Oh you are so dramatic, Nat. He’s a really nice guy.” 

Bucky arrives first, just before 8pm, and is seated at a table on the balcony upstairs. He sets down his jacket, and the bunch of flowers he brought for Y/N and sits down. He orders two drinks, and waits patiently for her to arrive. He can’t stop his leg from bouncing up and down. His phone buzzes, it’s Sam. ‘You got this, Soldier!’

“Hi, I’m meeting someone,” Y/N tells the hostess, and is escorted upstairs. Bucky stands when he see’s her, a wide smile appearing on his face. The hostess helps her remove her coat as she goes into hug Bucky. “Hey, it’s so great to see you in person!” She smiles, and goes to sit down. Bucky tucks her chair in for her and then sits down himself. “I just ordered us two random drinks, I have no idea what’s in them,” He says shyly as the waiter brings over two fruity looking cocktails. “Looks delicious!” 

“Nice selection, Mr Barnes,” Y/N says, nodding her head after tasting the cocktail. “Damn, you’re right, I did well with these.” Bucky replies after tasting his. She giggles at his comment. They chat about anything and everything. It was as though they’d known each other for years. Eventually, it’s time for them to head off. Bucky insists on walking Y/N home. 

“You didn’t have to,” Y/N says, arriving at her place, standing outside the door. “I wanted to, Y/N.” Bucky replies, joining her on her doorstep. “I had a really lovely time tonight, I would adore seeing you again, angel.” Y/N nods her head in agreement. Bucky leans down, as Y/N leans up, their lips meeting in the middle. They’re both so caught up in the kiss they don’t even hear the door open. 

“Barnes?!” Nat exclaims as she opens the door. “Romanoff?! What are you doing at Y/N’s house?!” Y/N furrows her brow, deep in thought. “What are you doing kissing my roommate more like?!” 

“Ohh, I’ve seen you around Nat’s work. That’s why I thought you looked familiar.”
