So … today I got “The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug Chronicles Cloaks and Daggers”. I browsed through it, read here and there bits of it and came to the chapter about Bilbo’s Laketown Outfit. Here is what I found:
Tumblr media
Of all things they could have said about that cloak (starting with “It was so long on the Hobbit that it dragged on the floor” to “It was so long on the Hobbit that he had to watch out to not step on it.”) they chose the wedding comparison.
I don’t say Thorin and Bilbo so got married in Laketown, but they so got married in Laketown.

lord of the rings is so so special to me because it‘s literally the only obsession that i keep coming back to. it always stays with me no matter what. the world and the characters are so complex and i keep finding more and more things to appreciate about it. even when so many things are changing in my life it’s like this warm home i can always come back to. literally no other piece of media has ever made me feel that way

Which Lord of the Rings characters say fuck:
Aragorn: definitely says fuck, and has to catch himself and tone it down when he becomes king
Boromir: yes. "They have a fucking cave troll."
None of the hobbits do; at least, not at first. Pippin picks up swears from Boromir, and Sam will swear under duress
Gimli: swears all the time, but mainly in Khuzdul. He definitely tries to teach Khuzdul swears to Legolas
Legolas: swears very rarely, and usually in Sindarin, which sounds so pretty that it goes unnoticed. Gimli often tries to goad him into swearing
Gandalf: knows all the swears, but doesn't say them
Galadriel: used to swear when she was younger, but that was thousands of years ago, and she no longer does.
Eowyn: swears constantly. every other word.
Faramir: swore once, and still regrets it.
Gollum: doesn't know any swears, but would say them if he did.

Fuck and the whole time, in the back of Legolas's mind (of perhaps the very front where he had to constantly shove it down and silence it) was the sea, the whole time and yet he stayed, and he planted and he loved and he sang and he traveled and watched his friends grow old and their kids grow up, all while he was burdened with longing for somewhere else, and finally only one was left, and he was torn in two, between the dwarf and the sea, still choosing to ignore that gnawing ache, but then, the dwarf went with him- and he didn't have to choose anymore. Finally, he was free.

The fact that Tolkien realized he’d created inconsistency for LotR with the first published version of The Hobbit and then retconned it with the in universe explanation of “Bilbo is a liar,” is never going to stop being both equal parts brilliant and funny.

gay people can never say 'I love you' it's always gotta be some shit like "you are a wood-elf, anyway, though elves of any kind are strange folk. yet you comfort me. where you go, I will go," and "but you comfort me, gimli. i'm glad to have you standing nigh with your stout legs and your hard axe."

Thanks for the parallels, Peter Jackson. I like the way things become so obvious, but it hurts me even more
