I am half asleep and started thinking about the Fellowship at the dentist, so:
WOULD THE FELLOWSHIP BE AFRAID OF GOING TO THE DENTIST?
Frodo: No. Goes to the dentist very rarely anyway, as his genes have blessed him with basically zero cavities.
Sam: A little nervous about it, but he goes there regardless. He has cavities, and Frodo convinces him to go. His hands sweat while he is in the chair, and he bows as a thank you before leaving the room.
Pippin: No. He goes there for fun, because he wants to try the laugh gas. Claims to have cavities more often than he actually does, just so he can take a handful of the candy offered for kids when he leaves.
Merry: No. He goes in, flirts with the receptionist, sits in the chair, and goes home.
Aragorn: No, but before he became King and he went there once, there was a shit ton of cavities and it took him like 3 appointments to take care of them all.
Gimli: Doesn't even go. Some of his teeth are probably some gold he struck in his mouth himself to resemble teeth.
Boromir: Terrified. Said "Gondor has no dentist, Gondor needs no dentist" so many times that he was dragged to the dentist (next to his house) by force. He acts all cool, but when he stands up from the chair, its just wet from his sweat.
Legolas: Doesn't need a dentist. Sometimes goes there to hold Boromir's hand and to look at all the equipment in amazement.
Gandalf: Doesnt need a dentist, but goes there from time to time just to sit down on the chair and talk to the dentist and the assistants for hours. He does this so often he has been banned from several places because 'he keeps wasting work time by endless talking'.
And as a bonus:
Bilbo: Passes out the second he sees the drill.

Had to look up the information on the Horn of Gondor.
From The Return of the King, “Minas Tirith”:
“I have recieved this,” said Denethor, and laying down his rod he lifted from his lap the thing that he had been gazing at. In each hand he held up one half of a great horn cloven through the middle: a wild-ox horn bound with silver.
“That is the horn that Boromir always wore!” cried Pippin.
“Verily,” said Denethor. “And in my turn I bore it, and so did each eldest son of our house, far back into the vanished years before thr failing of the kings, since Vorondil father of Mardil hunted the wild kine of Araw in the far fields of Rhûn.”
And then in Appendix A.I.ii, in a footnote on the steward “Vorondil the Hunter” (father of Mardil; Mardil was the first ruling Steward of Gondor):
The wild white kine that were still to be found near the Sea of Rhûn were said in legend to be descended from the Kine of Araw, the huntsman of the Valar, who alone of the Valar came often to Middle-earth in the Elder Days. Oromë is the High-elven form of his name.

Reading Lord of the Rings after watching all of the movies and absolutely loving them and hyper fixating on them is DANGEROUS. If I couldn't love something even more, idk what I would do. I already loved the characters so much and so dearly and you mean to tell me that Im gonna love them EVEN MORE, and it's gonna and does HURT even more. Like someone take the books away from me RIGHT NOW.

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.
My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

crying because an elf prince, dwarf lord and a fucking king of men dropped everything and ran over 100 miles with barely any rest, to rescue a couple of halflings (who were worth nothing outside the shire, and functionally little more than a burden) because they were their friends.
screaming and throwing up because the golden boy of gondor, the steward's eldest son and his pride and joy; noble heir of the house of húrin, sacrificed his life for those self-same halflings

The Fellowship When I was a kid, my folks basically told me I was a hobbit. I cherish the memory of them reading all these books to me--and I turned around and read them to my little siblings and eventually to my partner! I've drawn and painted a lot for The Hobbit but never The Lord of the Rings, and this ECCC seemed like the right time to debut one!

Happy 32nd birthday to my sibling @awesomepaste who requested Boromir and Faramir being happy for their birthday present. And why shouldn't they get to be happy?

“You suffer. I see it day by day.” IMO, this is a very underrated line of Boromir’s in the film, because it shows not only his observant and perceptive nature, but more importantly, his empathy. He knows exactly what it’s like to constantly carry a heavy burden alone on your shoulders. On this level, he actually understands Frodo deeply, and genuinely wants to help him. He really is a well-meaning friend. This particular line isn’t in the book, but it captures Boromir’s essence very well and I think Tolkien would’ve approved of it.

the next level of did you know viggo mortensen broke his toe when he kicked the helmet and is actually also screaming in pain there: did you know sean bean taped the script to his knee because they only gave him the script that morning and you can see him looking down when he says one does not simply walk into mordor

Rereading the Lord of the Rings series recently, and it's so fascinating to me how much the series is a denial of the typical juvenile power-fantasy that is associated with the fantasy genre.
Like, the power-fantasy is the temptation the Ring uses against people It tempts Boromir with becoming the "one true king" that could save his people with fantastic power. It tempts Sam with being the savior of Middle Earth and turning the ruin that is Mordor into a great garden. It tempts Gandalf and Galadriel with being the messianic figure of legend who brings salvation to Middle Earth and great glory to herself.
The things the Ring tempts people with are becoming the typical protagonists of fantasy stories that we expect to see. and over and over we see that accepting that role, that fantasy of being the benevolent all-powerful hero, is a bad thing. LotR is about how power, even power wielded with benevolent intent, is corrupting.
And its so fascinating how so much of modern fantasy buys into the very fantasy LotR denies. Most modern fantasy is about being that Heroic power-fantasy. About good amassing power to rival evil. But LotR dares not to. It dares to be honest that there is no world where anyone amasses that power and remains good.
I guess that's one of the reasons its so compelling.

rewatching lotr, as you do, but there's something hitting about Isildur getting killed by three arrows (to the back) while abandoning his men versus Boromir getting killed by three arrows (to the chest) while doing everything to save Merry and Pippin and the influence of the ring over men, idk but my heart did a thing when i noticed it :(
