Happy 20th Anniversary to Jackson's Return of the King!

In honor of the 20th anniversary of Peter Jackson's Return of the King, I drew my favorite scene in the movie!

Déagol: I caught a fish, Sméag! Sméagol! Sméagol: Pull it in! Go on, go on, go on! Pull it in!

I saw this movie in the theaters when it was released, and I was very excited to see young Sméagol!!! And shocked! I was also very incredibly disappointed because I hadn't read ROTK yet at that point and didn't know Sméagollum died. Very depressing! BUT, I'm glad at least that he didn't die miserably in the films, he finally reclaimed his precious and had a nice big smile, and didn't seem to be in a great deal of pain, he was so focused on the ring. And at least he was alive for most of the film, and very fun to watch ~

This is the order of my favorite scenes in ROTK:

1.) The Finding of the Ring (I really love that we got to see young Sméagol, see what he was like before the Ring, see Déagol and his relationship with him, see the transformation Sméagol went through! Amazing!)

2.) Gollum's Villainy (I just really love when Gollum and Sméagol talk to each other, they're very funny and it's wonderful to see them scheming.)

3.) The Stairs of Cirith Ungol (I LOVE how Sméagollum convinces Frodo that Sam wants the Ring, how close he gets, whispering in his ear, it's delicious~)

4.) Mount Doom (I love when Sméagollum attacks Frodo, it pleases me in many ways, the way he CHOKES him, mocks him! "Sméagol lied"!!! it gives me the shiveries ~ )

5.) Sam's Warning (Sméagollum knowing Sam knows he's up to something, and knowing Sam can't do anything about it, he just SMILES, and leans against the rocks looking so devious and pleased with himself, I love him so much)

6.) The Parting of Sam and Frodo (Sméagollum pretending to be asleep, so cleverly framing Sam, convincing Frodo that he TAKES things! Frodo choosing Sméagollum over Sam, YES!!!)

7.) Shelob's Lair (Sméagollum's clever plan, I love when he mockingly sings to him as he's stuck in the web, and I also love how Frodo wants to choke Sméagollum but stops himself. Sméagol's face when Frodo tells him he has to destroy it, Frodo saying "I have to destroy it for both our sakes", he cares about Sméagol even yet, beautiful!!)

8.) Crack of Doom (Sméagollum attacking Frodo, biting his finger off, reclaming the precious at last! Dancing and overjoyed! He and Frodo becoming one, fighting over the Ring, neither able to let it go!)

9.) Journey to the Cross-Roads (Wake up SLEEPIES!)

10.) Cross-Roads of the Fallen King ("We're not IN decent places..." "Come on HOBBITS!")

11.) Minas Morgal ("Full of... enemies...")

i call this au 'he's here for this joke & will then go back to being dead'

today i learned

Sméagol is the translation of an actual Westron name Trahald, the meaning of which was "burrowing, worming in" or "apt to creep into a hole".

bury it deeper

I can't get over this I've shouted at the group chat about it multiple times but I need to come here I cannot with this.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CHANGED MY NAME TO FRODO??

I mean no Ill will nor offence to any and all lord of the rings kinnies who use the English names, but I am fucking BAFFLED.

TOLKEIN YOU KNOW WHAT MY FUCKING NAME IS?? I know you know what my name is because the name you have as my "true" name feels so intimately correct, and yet you still chose to just ?? MAKE ONE UP? and not only did you make a name up, you chose FJCUCKING FRODO???? FRODO???

my name was MAURA. Pronounced mah-ur-ra, with a beautiful little tapped R. It's so graceful, the pronunciation is so nice, it makes me sound so refined. Maura Labingi, that's gorgeous. Labingi is a little goofy sounding but it looks lovely written down. And with the 'a' suffix all of our family names actually match the "la" sound, not just Bilbo having alliteration and Not Me.

Frodo fucking Baggins. I save all of middle earth and you change my name to FRODO. All the elves and shit get to keep the names from their languages, but NOOO we need to change bilba and Maura so that they have male suffixes in english, and also Maura needs a translation for his name into A WORD NOBODY ASSOCIATES WITH THE MEANING OF MY NAKE ANYWAY.

And it's not just me I'm upset about. Sam's real name is Banazîr, Ban for short. BAN... HOW CUTE IS THAT? HOW FITTING? TO BE BAN? I call him "ban" in my mind and I smile like a fool in love, as i was. Ban, I don't want to go back, ban is adorable. Do you hear me.

Kali to merry is fine, and I do like that tolkein kept his absurdly long name. And honestly I kindve vibe with "pippin" on the same level that I do Razar, pippin has a little hop step to it that fits him. But fucking Frodo. Do I look like a Frodo? Do I act like a Frodo? What crime did I commit for you to name me FRODO.

Hell they fucked over smeagol even, his real name is "Trahald." Isn't that so much nicer sounding??

I'm in shambles. To the entire world I am known as Frodo Baggins. And for what? And for why? Why did you do this to me? I understand why it was for the sake of writing and having a coherent Vibe to the hobbits that our admittedly quite fancy or exotic sounding names don't exactly hit. But you could have at least given me a name as pretty as my actual name. I need to find Sam/ban he'd back me up on this. (I know because the reason I remembered my name was Maura was because I remember Ban saying it like it was the nicest word he'd ever heard)

I don't know where I'm going with this. I'm just so Mad. I demand repentance, comeuppance a personal apology letter from tolkeins estate.

Sméagol and Déagol are equivalents made up in the same way for names Trahald 'burrowing, worming in', and Nahald 'secret' in the Northern tongues.

Today’s villain is Gollum from Lord of the Rings

Gollum - The Lord of the Rings (1978)

Gollum my precious. by Tony Via Flickr: Gollum, originally known as Sméagol (or Trahald), was at first a Stoor, one of the three early Hobbit-types. The name Gollum was derived from the sound of his disgusting gurgling, choking cough. This was the first of many wooden carvings on the estate as we started our ‘open garden’ walk around the Poulton Hall Estate’s garden.

Lord of the rings fandom do u call him Sméagol, Gollum, or Trahald?

What is the name of the place where the Hobbits live?

Hobbits or halflings are fictitious, 60 to 120 cm tall human-like beings in the fantasy world of Middle-earth created by J. R. R. Tolkien. They play a leading role in the novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, as well as in the film adaptations of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson. In ancient Hebrew there is "smiri", from which the Yiddish goo originated (the "guardian" or "secret bearer"). Bilbo Baggins is considered a living legend of the Shire people. After Sauron's defeat in the Ring War, King Elessar gave Sauron's slaves their freedom and gave them all the lands around the Sea of Núrnen. Minas Tirith lay at the south-eastern end of the Ered Nimrais. To the south, the city was only two miles from the Anduin. Northeast of the White City lay Anórien, southwest the fief Lossarnach joined. It was actually called Trahald ("digging", "sneaking in" in the languages of the Northmen), represented by the Old English equivalent Sméagol.

almost all Hobbits lived in the Shire and divided it into four regions (see below regions).

From the air you have a perfect bird's eye view of the three national parks of the region - Abel Tasman, Nelson Lakesund Kahurangi.access to the area is via a road, which was built especially for the film by the New Zealand army - exactly like the first 37 Hobbit Caves, the mill and the bridge over the small lake.

Of course there were no houses in the hills yet. Step into the "Green Dragon Bar", drink a real Hobbit brew and sing one of the drinking songs of the celebratory little inhabitants of Middle-earth in a true to original setting. Various beers and hearty meals round off the short holiday in Hobbiton. In the north of the Gorgoroth plain was the valley of Udûn, an almost circular depression in the middle of two mountain arms that surrounded the valley. To the north, the valley was closed off by the Black Gate. {

How long does it take from Germany to New Zealand?

They finally made the second one! This was my favorite part ~ he pets Sméagol and Sméagol gets so happy!

Then Frodo betrays him and poor Sméagol is all beaten up while the hobbitses kiss and betray him!! He's so sad! He wants Frodo's kisses! :(

The only way to survive the pains is to LET GOLLUM TAKE CHARGE!

I hope Sméagollum and Frodo kiss in the next one hehehe ~

This came about because I said he would be in my nightmare blunt rotation

Research hobbit goblins

"Goblins" are what Tolkien called the Orcs whom Thorin and Company encountered in The Hobbit. They lived deep under the Misty Mountains in many strongholds, ever since the War of Wrath in the First Age.

Gollum, originally known as Sméagol or Trahald, is a creature of Hobbit origin and a major antagonist in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth legendarium. Gollum is one of the two secondary antagonists in the novel The Lord of the Rings (alongside Saruman), and a supporting antagonist in the novel, The Hobbit.

I like how the goblins look in terms of their figure, I also like the colours they used for Gollum, he also wears very little which is not what im really looking for but I do like the facials feactures like the eyes and the mouth. I feel inspired to do something similar to my goblin.

A few screenshots from the upcoming Lord of the Rings: Gollum game. I’m so excited for this! 🐟

“And so Gollum found them hours later, when he returned, crawling and creeping down the path out of the gloom ahead. Sam sat propped against the stone, his head dropping sideways and his breathing heavy. In his lap lay Frodo's head, drowned in sleep; upon his white forehead lay one of Sam's brown hands, and the other lay softly upon his master's breast. Peace was in both their faces. Gollum looked at them. A strange expression passed over his lean hungry face. The gleam faded from his eyes, and they went dim and grey, old and tired. A spasm of pain seemed to twist him, and he turned away, peering back up towards the pass, shaking his head, as if engaged in some interior debate. Then he came back, and slowly putting out a trembling hand, very cautiously he touched Frodo's knee--but almost the touch was a caress. For a fleeting moment, could one of the sleepers have seen him, they would have thought that they beheld an old weary hobbit, shrunken by the years that had carried him far beyond his time, beyond friends and kin, and the fields and streams of youth, an old starved pitiable thing.”
