'It is by our own folly that the Enemy will defeat us,' cried Boromir. 'How it angers me! Fool! Obstinate fool! Running willfully to death and ruining our cause. If any mortals have claim to the Ring, it is the men of Númenor, and not Halflings. It is not yours save by unhappy chance. It might have been mine. It should be mine. Give it to me!'

chat holy fuck. in FOTR (film), specifically the council of elrond scene-

elrond says "you will unite". cuts to aragorn because he unites armies to defeat sauron

then he says "or you will fall." cuts to boromir. peter jaCKSON WHEN I CATCH YOU PETER JACKSON- when i FUCKING catch you-

[thementallyunstablenerd]

Gandalf: Uh well, so apparently you can destroy Sauron by just hacking away at his tower with a big sword in anger- who knew?

boromir taking a nap with his two little hobbits !!!!!!!!! yay

[thementallyunstablenerd]

I really just want a tiny Boromir I can put in my pocket.

My friend insisted she didn't need to rewatch the first Lord of the Rings movie because she still remembered what happened. So I asked her to recap it for me. I'm fucking dying 🤣🤣🤣

Ladies and gentlehobbits, I present to you The Lord of the Rings (according to my friend):

"The world is different. Legends. The ring falls really slowly into the water. The group of travelers and Will Turner find it. Boromir is the magic wizard guy, or he's the elf. Or human. It doesn't matter, he's a minor character. And the movie ends with the one who can't swim in the lake. Also Saruman is the bad one."

Who are the Ringwraiths? "The Ringwraiths want Gollum to have the ring."

And who is Gollum? "He uh... the 'precious' guy. The shriveled guy."

Who is Gandalf? "He's the wizard guy who dies when he fights and runs down some stairs. And he changes colors."

Who's Sauron? "He's the opponent of Gandalf. He's a wizard like Harry."

Rivendell? "Where a group of good people live. Which good people is up for debate." (She didn't ask us this last bit, she stated it.)

Who lives in Rivendell? "Men."

No.

"Dwarves."

No.

"Elves?"

Yes.

"No they don't live there."

Where do dwarves live? "Hobbiton."

Who is Galadriel? "Galadriel is part of legend, he is not around any more."

Who's Arwen? "A really impactful character. She had magic powers."

Who is Bilbo? "He is the one who is holding the ring when the movie sped up a lot because they kept saying 'ring'. Bilbo is the author in the office."

What's Moria? "The opposite of Mordor."

What is the green dragon? "A dragon. A race. A group?"

Who are the Uruk-hai? "Bad people. That's all you need to know."

Who is Peter Jackson? "Knock off Percy Jackson."

it will never stop making me happy to see how GENUINELY JOYFUL and excited gandalf looks when he's making fireworks for the hobbits !!!

like this is the face of a wizard who's doing EXACTLY what he loves to do in life T-T

[thementallyunstablenerd]

I feel like being a Hobbit is the ultimate lifestyle. (At least for me)

Think about it:

Considered a child until age 33

Live in cute little hills with beautiful wood work

Spending your days gardening, eating, drinking, and gossiping

Excellent Wardrobe

Receiving gifts on others's birthdays and giving others gifts on your birthday (I just like giving gifts, so this might just be a thing I like)

And every once and a while a kinda wacky old wizard takes one (or a few) of you on a world saving quest

Sounds pretty good to me!

More Dwobbit Frodo! This time it’s baby Frodo with his adad! I was given on discord the idea dwarves wearing baby wraps to carry their babies with them and I loved it so much I just knew I had to draw Thorin carrying Frodo in one. In the first one Frodos maybe 1 years old? His crazy amount of hair is explained by his dwarven genes lmfaoo. In the second one he’s maybe a few months old. Anyway- I love the trope of a tough guy with a small babe, that’s literally them.

[thementallyunstablenerd]

I can fix him.

The King's Fatigue

He works too much, even too much for an ordinary elf, because he is the king, he has to

Any manifestations of care for him will always be ambiguously met by him himself

Even when he falls asleep on his desk in a sleepy state, he somehow refuses you in sleep ,when you asked him to sleep on the bed.

this man would BETTER kill himself than admit that he is weak

So the only thing that can be done at this moment is to simply ask Legolas to send him to his room.

He sometimes listens to his son, but to you? No, my dear. Because he doesn't want you to see him weak.

He doesn't want his love to think that he is weak so he holds on to the last in front of you to seem stronger. Even if this is the limit of his powers.

The only thing you can do is force him to sleep with you under the pretext of "I can't sleep alone without you."

And he will believe it and will go to sleep with you, and don’t be surprised that he will fall asleep on your chest in a minute when he lies down next to you.

Thranduil will sleep quietly and peacefully while you carefully stroke his back.

And when he sleeps he looks like a cat...

Tom Bombadil could have simply walked into Mordor

You all know me at this point, I love extrapolating from Old Norse culture for the Rohirrim.

Here's just over 3,500 words of quiet intimacy and gender exploration with Éomer and Faramir, inspired by the myths of Freyr and Gerðr, Freyr's crossdressing priests, and seiðberendur. This is a particularly special fic to me, and I'm really excited to share it with you all 🩵
