Something I absolutely adore about The Lord of the Rings is the healthy depiction of masculinity, and how it's not seen through just the Hobbits - who are known for valuing friendship, love, and a quiet, simple life. It's Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf, Boromir, Faramir, Eomer, and Theoden. All of the men love, they laugh, they cry, they express themselves, they grieve, and they're never weaker for it. In fact, it's this emotional vulnerability - their capacity for love - that helps them succeed in saving Middle Earth. It's such a refreshing and beautiful thing to see.
Just props to JRR Tolkien for writing the characters the way he did and to Peter Jackson and the cast for bringing it to life so beautifully.

probably the funniest thing i ever did as a kid was try to convince anyone who'd listen to me infodump about my favorite media that my ocs were actual canon characters in the story and then if they expressed genuine interest in checking it out i'd panic and be like no you Can't and just never speak to them again

Me, watching the first hobbit movie with gf: God, they always smoke so much like Jesus Christ, how come everyone hasn’t died from lung cancer at the age of six?
Gf, like immediately: Maybe they have evolved past it
Me: Evolved past it? Like, that was the thing that their evolution prioritized, being able to survive weed?
Gf: Well clearly it’s needed

Happy Birthday, Ellinrat!! (May 29th)
"you need to go back- this will be dangerous!" bilbo exclaims out of fear and worry. he doesn't bother to attempt to read the hastily scribbled and illegible 'contracts' the two younger hobbits handed over to thorin.
ellinrat puts their hands on their hips and lets out a sigh. "it's too late, you can't stop us. who knows what exciting things we will encounter!"
"besides, the only danger here is us. just leave the goblins to rumble and rat: pest exterminators." rowan announces proudly with a slingshot in hand and rocks in their pocket.
rowan belongs to beloved @bigbywlf <3

I always feel powerful when I manage to get someone into LOTR (the movies). Today I witnessed how yet another friend who was sceptical and complaining beforehand about the length of the movies fell slowly but surely.
It's always the same. I can tell when they go from confusion to caring about the fellowship, and by the time the first movie is over, they're already asking me to put the next one.
