For anyone who's into LOTR I am rereading (again) and took notes on the weirdest/most interesting bits this time:

There are/were other magic rings beside the main ones, which is part of what makes it so hard for other characters to believe that Bilbo's ring is actually The ring

At one point Tolkien jumps into the POV of a random fox walking by our protagonists' camp and then never brings it up again, no big deal

The ever-controversial Tom Bombadil has several other names we just never talk about? And the elves (at least in Rivendell) know about him and have known about him for many years now

They also consider giving him the ring but ultimately decide it would be a bad idea because "he'd probably just lose it"

A lot of what happens to Frodo after he's been stabbed by the Nazgul is less symptomatic of dark magic and more of just...having a severe shoulder injury?? Like "oh no my hand is numb and I'm weak and can't move it, must be the evils of Mordor" bro you probably just have nerve damage and blood loss

Bilbo straight up writes and sings a song about Elrond's dad in front of him and a bunch of other elves in Rivendell like. The audacity.

There's a river called "Wetwang" (yes it's called Nindalf in Elvish, but that's not important here)

Aragorn never tells anyone else that Boromir admitted to trying to take the ring, it's implied he even keeps it secret from Gandalf once he reappears

The "Two Towers" actually refers to Orthanc and Minas Morgal, not Orthanc and Barad-Dur as the films suggest

Eomer has met and possibly was friendly with Boromir

Also Aragorn, who doesn't look that old, straight up tells Eomer he'd met both his father and Theoden when they were younger and he just...has zero reaction?? Like if a guy who looked not much older than me wisely said "ah yes, I met your father and uncle long ago" in a way that implied they'd worked together as somewhat equals I'd be. A little uncertain to say the least.

Oh and he also hung out with Denethor back in the day

Eomer and Gimli have a running disagreement on whether or not Galadriel is real, and if so, how hot she is

This is common ish knowledge but there are elements of actual Old English embedded into Rohan's worldbuilding (esp. the names/ "Rohrric" language) and the whole location is genuinely just Tolkien's fantasy version of Anglo-Saxon Britain. He is very not subtle about it.

Saruman was FULLY RUNNING DRUGS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE SHIRE AND ISENGARD

And this actually ends up contributing to a main plot in the third book

Instead of the Palantir falling out of Saruman's pocket when he dies like in the movie, Gandalf shoots a spell at Saruman and makes him run back inside Orthanc and Wormtongue chucks the Palantir down at him from the window in retaliation

I know the potato scene is *iconic* but let's be real the fact that Sam risks a fire and takes the time to make a full rabbit stew plus seasoning while they're on a dangerous secret mission to sneak into the Darkest Of Dark Lords' fortress is kind of hilarious

Minas Morgul is some serious eldritch horror cryptid shit

Denethor is honestly such drama queen. Like I know he's supposed to be a threatening and tragic character but holy shit.

Also the entire houses of healing segment is unintentionally comedic

Like between the old lady who runs the house giving absolutely zero fucks, and the herb master and Aragorn having a mini nerd off about what Athelas/Kingsfoil is called in different languages, and also Aragorn and Pippin roasting Merry - who has JUST woken up from an Evil Coma by the way - about not being able to find his weed

"This weed is better than I thought" -- actual quote by Ioreth re: kingsfoil

This is something I noticed that a lot of people don't mention - the "Evenstar" that Arwen gives Aragorn in the movies that's tied to her lifeforce/immortality isn't really a thing in the books. The closest to it is this green brooch that she gives him via Galadriel in FOTR - but the only necklace she gives to anyone is actually to Frodo, as a token that basically means if he ever wants to go to the Grey Havens (as he ultimately does) he'd essentially be taking her place because she isn't going

Ok the scouring of the Shire is pretty common knowledge but are we going to talk about Lotho Sackville-Baggins became Saruman's dealer and helped smuggle drugs pipeweed into Isengard (see I told you it would come back)

Also!! Lotho was possibly EATEN by Grima Wormtongue, or at the very least Saruman believes he was, yes this is an actual canon thing

Legit quote from ROTK: "Worm killed your Chief, poor little fellow, your nice little Boss. Didn't you, Worm? Stabbed him in his sleep, I believe. Buried him, I hope; though Worm has been very hungry lately[]"

Seriously what the fuck

Saruman is killed by Wormtongue (who is then shot by a bunch of Hobbit archers) and promptly....disintegrates?

Anyway if you're a casual fan who's only seen the movies, or if you haven't read the books in a while, I'd highly recommend.

Do you have a plan to make a modern au headcanon for Starcrossed Losers?

WOW THIS TOOK FOREVER TO ANSWER I AM SO SORRY. But yes. Yes, I do.

Kili and Raewyn modern AU! headcanons

Kili X Starcrossed Losers! OC

Fluff, headcanons

Tw: Mentions of miscarriage/dying through childbirth, dogs and cats.

Wait, you don’t know who Raewyn is??? Blasphemy. Check her story out right here!

-In a modern day setting, I think Fili and Kili would own a busy pub somewhere in a side street. Ironically enough, I believe Raewyn would become either a history or geography teacher. At night, she’ll help in the pub, serving guests or helping in a band performing that night. Because, obviously, she’d take music lessons (see earlier headcanons)

-Due to the vacations of the school, she travels a lot with Kili, visiting big cities in Europe and distant villages in Asia. Her students love to hear tales about the people there, and she loves telling them.

-Kili helps Raewyn prepare lessons for students. He actually has some really good ideas in there and Raewyn loves to tell him how the class responded to ‘his’ teaching.

-Even though the pub is located in the centre of the city, Raewyn and Kili would live in a house surrounded by forests. Those tiny roads leading through woods, sometimes extending towards two or three houses? That’s where they’d likely live. Raewyn loves to spend her nights walking the forest. Kili is just glad to be there.

-The garden offers enough room for Farris, because - naturally - she’d still be there. Knowing Kili, she’d probably be accompanied by three dogs, likely named after characters from famous films, like Gizmo, Luke, and Marty McFly.

-Raewyn would get a cat just to spite Kili’s dogs. They’d get a decent name - likely after someone from ancient history. She’d go with names from gods, like Bastet or Artemis. Because Kili insisted on big dogs, she got a Norwegian Forest cat.

-The cat loves Kili more than Raewyn. Kili hates the cat.

-Likewise, Marty McFly loves Raewyn. He doesn’t like Kili because Kili doesn’t let him swim in lakes.

-Speaking about ‘children’. Raewyn and Kili would adopt two kids rescued from war zones, left without family. Raewyn used to want biological children, but her mother never lived long enough to hold her youngest daughter, and ever since, she’s been terrified of the idea of getting pregnant.

-Thorin and Bilbo are the godparents - naturally.

-Surprisingly, Raewyn is the chill parent. Kili does his absolute best to not teach the kids any swear words or let them watch anything under the age guide on films and series. The oldest said their first swear word just three weeks in Raewyn and Kili’s care. Fili was the culprit. To this day, Kili still believes it was Raewyn. She thinks so too.

-Bilbo often visits the dogs when Raewyn helps Kili in the pub at night. They’re twice as heavy as he is, but they love him. Bilbo used to be scared of them.

-Don’t worry, Raewyn gets therapy sessions.

-Kili is a swiftie. He pulled Raewyn into the fandom. Her favourite album is folklore. Kili is a 1989 stan. Raewyn’s favourite artist would probably be a classic rock band like Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath.

-On the topic of modern media; the two love to watch horror films late at night. Raewyn is the psychopath who can go to bed after the credits roll. Kili needs to watch at least one episode of a comedy show before he can even walk up the stairs.

-Kili loves science fiction most, preferably Star Wars or Back to the Future. Raewyn has a secret love for terrible comedies like the Monty Python works. Horror and fantasy are their middle ground.

-Their home is littered with books. They have a bookcase. But there are books everywhere. At least three in the bathroom. Kili is a binge reader. He finishes series within a week. Raewyn reads twenty books at the same time. None of them place the books back in the bookcase. Bilbo does when he looks after the dogs.

-Gandalf has a spare key to their house. He never enters unannounced (surprisingly), but does enter their garden to entertain the dogs. When Raewyn invites him in, he claims to hate the dogs. He doesn’t. He even has a favourite. But don’t tell Marty McFly and Gizmo.

-The dogs aren’t forced to be outside. They just never want to go inside. Raewyn and Kili have to carry them in at night for their own safety. Luke, the St. Bernard, has to sleep in bed with them every night. So does the cat. Luke is the only dog she accepts. Raewyn and Kili often wake up on the floor.

-Once a week, Raewyn and Kili have a ‘duty-free’ night. They’ll go to a little shed in the forest Raewyn bought while someone takes care of the children and the dogs (the cat takes care of themself). They usually fall asleep there, but every so often they play boardgames or spend the night chatting away under the stars.

-Kili packs Raewyn’s lunch every morning. He leaves little notes in her lunchbox. There is not a day he has forgotten to do so.

-Raewyn and Kili wear matching ugly Christmas sweaters around the holidays.

Broken Things - Chapter 1

A/N: This fic mingles both film and book canon, especially in the area of TIME (i.e. how long it takes to actually travel to & through certain regions during the dwarves’ Quest for Erebor). I vastly prefer the more realistic timeline in Tolkein’s writing than the super-condensed “there’s always someone chasing us” version of the films. Cross country travel takes a long time on foot, friends.

Fandom: The Hobbit (films)

Setting: first part of the Quest for Erebor

Characters: Fili x fem!reader, Bofur, Bilbo, Thorin, Kili, The Company

Chapter Warnings: angsty Fili feelings, pining, mild dwarf-on-dwarf violence, smoking, homicidal pipeweed, not-quite-stalking,

RATING: PG – Mildly angsty fluff, with implied racy thoughts.

Word Count: 2187

Summary: Fili’s got it bad for Y/N, a human linguist and healer accompanying Thorin’s Company on the Quest for Erebor. All he wants to do is find a way to confess his feelings and court her properly. But unbeknownst to him, Y/N carries hidden trauma from her past. Can Fili help her overcome her demons and win her heart?

Fili twirled his favorite knife absently in one hand, lips pressed tight around the stem of grass he held between clenched teeth. His stormy gaze hovered somewhere above the line of tents encircling the market square, eyes not needed to manipulate the spinning blade. He stared so fiercely that a casual observer might be forgiven for thinking he was contemplating imminent violence, and passers-by gave him a wide berth. But Bofur knew better. As had often been the case over the past two weeks, the young prince was currently deaf to the outer world, his attention fixed on the theater of his own mind. The older dwarf eyed the younger and sighed gustily. He knew what that look meant.

Bofur hooked his thumbs in his belt and strode through the crowds towards where Fili sat leaning against an abandoned baker’s stall, taking advantage of the shade of a venerable elm. The din of the summer market roiled around them. Other members of the company could be seen (or in Dwalin’s case, heard) haggling over supplies, inspecting the vendors’ wares, and generally enjoying a day of rest before the next leg of their journey. It was a robust market for such a modest village, and likely the last one they’d see before they crossed into less hospitable country.

Bofur stepped into the welcome shade, shot Fili a sideways glance, and cleared his throat. No response. He then proceeded to clean his pipe with more than the usual scraping and clattering, in a further attempt to rouse the distracted prince. Nothing. Fili didn’t even acknowledge his presence. Bofur smiled.

Reaching for his newly acquired pouch of Longbottom Leaf, Bofur filled his pipe, lit it, puffed a few times, took a long pull, gazed nonchalantly out over the crowd, and drawled, “Nice day fer a bit of shopping, eh?" His companion continued to stare at nothing. Bofur tried again, this time with something a little closer to the prince's heart. "Did ye see the blades the local blacksmith was tryin' to pass off on these sorry folk? He ought ta be ashamed." Fili gave a noncommittal grunt. Bofur waited a beat, blew a lopsided smoke ring out over the square, then decided to go in for the kill. "Sooooo . . . when are ye gonna tell Y/N that ye fancy ‘er?” He was not disappointed.

Fili immediately started as if he’d been stung. Whipping his head around to stare at Bofur with wide eyes, he blinked twice before bleating, “Wha- . . . what did you say?”

Bofur took another unhurried drag, thoroughly enjoying the young Durin’s sudden discomfiture. He raised an eyebrow casually, and replied “Oh, I was just wonderin’ when ye’r gonna get off yer royal backside and tell our fine little lady how ye feel about ‘er. The lads an’ I have a bet, ye see. Bombur says-“ before he could finish his thought, Fili surged to his feet, grabbed Bofur by the collar of his jacket, and dragged him behind the stall out of sight of the square.

“Who told you that I fancy her?” he yelped, throwing the hatted dwarf against the elm’s hoary trunk and glaring him down. Bofur waved his hand as he choked on a lungful of smoke, motioning for the indignant prince to give him a little breathing space. Fili released his hold on Bofur’s jacket and stepped back, allowing the sputtering dwarf to double over in a fit of coughing. After a few moments and a series of gasping breaths, Bofur looked up, eyes streaming, and rasped “Oi! Nobody needed to tell me, lad. We've all seen the way ye look at her: the way ye’ve been looking at her all the way from the Shire! Ye’r not so secretive as ye might think.”

Fili bounced his leg nervously, outrage abruptly replaced by worry. “Kakfh, does everybody know?” he cursed under his breath. Then, suddenly alarmed, he grabbed Bofur’s jacket again. “Do you think she knows? I mean, if you noticed, that means she could have too, right? She’s smarter than the lot of us! Has she said anything to you? Or to Bombur, or Bifur? Do you think she”- Bofur grasped Fili’s wrists, stalling his frantic rambling, and gingerly removed the prince’s hands from his twice-assaulted collar, chuckling as Fili realized his faux pas and retreated into his own personal space. “Nay, lad. In this regard, our lovely little bookworm seems just as stone-headed as ye! Fer all I can see, she’s completely blind to yer tragic affections.”

Fili let out a strangled huff and raked his hands through his golden locks. Thank Mahal, she hadn't noticed his embarrassing fascination with her! But . . . it seemed everyone else had. He glanced over at Bofur, still coughing a bit, and thumped his back apologetically. “I’m sorry. I just . . . I thought I had kept it hidden. But apparently I’m an open book” he lamented, and Bofur’s heart softened at the dejection in the young dwarf’s voice. He clapped a hand on Fili’s shoulder.

“Hard to keep secrets on the road, lad, especially from yer elders!” he teased, eyes twinkling. “Still . . . I shouldn’t keep her waiting on the truth much longer if I were ye. The only one yer hurtin’ is yerself.” He gave Fili a sage wink, and saw hopeful fires alight in his eyes.

“You mean you think . . . I mean, she might . . . It’s possible she could . . . ?” Fili’s thoughts tumbled off his lips so rapidly, he couldn't finish one before another took its place. Bofur threw back his head and chortled.

“I can’t speak for the lass, now can I? But ye’ll never know if ye don’t ASK! Go on, you heartsick lulkh! Go find 'er!” He shoved Fili’s shoulder with gruff affection, and the prince stumbled out into the sunlight. Fili blinked, holding his hand up to shield his eyes as he surveyed the square, when another thought occurred to him. He turned, mouth open to ask another question, but Bofur had already strolled off to find his brother and cousin. He had a bet to collect!

Curiosity tugged at the back of Fili’s mind, and he forced himself to look past her striking face, unmistakably appealing figure, and breathtaking smile - Durin's Beard, that smile! - and scrutinize her with an unimpassioned eye. For the first time, he noticed the worn state of her boots, the patched leather of her trousers, especially around the curve of her-Mahal, what are you, thirty??? He tore his gaze away and took a deep breath to settle his thoughts. Clothes. Focus on the clothes!

The market boiled with a surprising number of patrons for its size, but nevertheless Fili soon found the person who had occupied his every waking thought for two solid weeks. She meandered along a line of clothing stalls, her fingers trailing reverently over embroidered blouses, prismatic scarves, and flowing dresses: not the sort of attire suited to long days of riding cross-country, Fili thought. He regarded her for a long while, pondering how to approach her. She drifted from stall to stall, studying every color, texture, and aroma with deliberate attention. Her eyes held something like hunger, and a sudden though came to him unbidden: perhaps she had never had finery of her own?

The dwarves knew very little of her background, other than what Gandalf had offered when he submitted her along with Bilbo for inclusion in Thorin's Company: she was a gifted scholar with a sharp mind and extensive knowledge of languages, healing, and the mixing of herbs, and her skills would serve them well on their venture. Thorin had scoffed at the idea of bringing along an academic but changed his tune swiftly when she greeted him formally in Khuzdul. (They later learned that it was one of only three phrases she had memorized by rote. As a precocious child born to unremarkable parents, she had developed a habit of pestering merchants who traded with her village until they taught her odd bits of their crafts or - even better! - languages. The most valuable caravans often employed armed escorts, and she had once trailed a pair of Dwarven sell-swords for a week, practicing the traditional greeting until they pronounced her accent "passably unoffensive", and also taught her how to say farewell, and one other choice phrase that would make most men blush.) When she proved she could both saddle and mount a pony without help (unlike the hobbit), Thorin had grudgingly agreed that she might not be completely useless.

Her clothes matched her vocation and marked her for a traveler: subdued colors, sturdy fabrics, no ornamentation to speak of. From the waist up (he daren't linger lower!), she wore a plain linen tunic and a fitted leather jerkin laced up the front, both of which she left open at the throat, exposing the hollow of her creamy throat and hinting at the swell of- Dammit, Fili! He cursed under his breath. By Mahal's hammer, how hard was it to make an objective assessment? Swallowing hard, the golden prince glared at Y/N's boots while he counted to ten, and only then dared to raise his eyes. She wore no jewelry. Even her shining hair was bound with a clasp made of leather and wood. Perhaps his hunch wasn't just foolish conjecture.

As if answering his thoughts, Y/N moved towards the last stall on the row: a jeweler’s stall. She exchanged a few words with the vendor, who smiled at her and nodded. Then she slowly devoured every piece, fingers brushing over a comb or gently lifting a bracelet to admire it before reluctantly setting it back in place. She lingered longest over a beautiful necklace - a pair of emerald cabochons set in intricate silverwork and suspended from a delicate chain.

Acting on his instinct, Fili strode towards her, calling her name from a few paces away to avoid startling her with his appearance. Nevertheless, she jumped and spun towards him, nearly toppling a rack of earrings, which he caught and righted with a smile. She flushed and averted her gaze, whether embarrassed by her clumsiness or at having been caught ogling jewelry he could not tell.

Fili clasped his hands behind his back and gave her a courteous half-bow. “Good afternoon, Y/N,” he began with more composure than he felt. “How are you enjoying the market?”

“Oh, it’s delightful” she said, studying the display in front of her closely. “I am glad to be out of the saddle for a day!” Fili chuckled. She wasn’t the only one to share that sentiment! He followed her gaze and noticed it lingering once more on the emerald necklace. Now or never!

“Which one’s your favorite?” he asked brightly, smiling wider when she blinked up at him in surprise. Her eyes glittered with a lively intelligence that he found more bewitching than any jewel. Not for the first time, his breath caught as her sparkling orbs met his.

“Oh!” she exclaimed, glancing back at the table full of trinkets. “Oh, I could never afford such luxury as this. They’re lovely, certainly, but . . . not for me, I think.” She gathered herself as if to turn away. Taking a risk, Fili laid his hand on her arm. She tensed immediately under his touch, and her bright eyes snapped back to his, but she didn’t pull away.

“Forget what they cost for a moment” he urged softly, daring to keep eye contact despite the frantic hammering of his heart. “Which one appeals to you? You’ve been over here for quite a while, you know; surely you must have seen something that you like!” He searched her face, for what he could not quite say. Realization that he had been watching her browse the stalls? Recognition of the emotions that threatened to incinerate him? Any indication that she might feel just as affected in that moment as he did? She opened her mouth as if to say something, then shut it, biting her lower lip softly. Blood roared in his ears, and he stopped breathing.

“I don’t think . . .” she began, then faltered. Something like lightning crackled hot and fierce between them along the plane of their unified gaze, and Fili swore he could see her pulse racing as swiftly as his own just below the skin of her throat. Y/N swallowed, and found her voice. “I enjoy looking at them, truly. But I really can’t-“

“Y/N! There you are!” a familiar voice called, causing them both to start. Fili jerked his hand back, cursing the entire Baggins clan as Bilbo drew up beside them, puffing and red-faced. “Y/N! Oin asked me to find you!” he panted. “He wants you to come right away. Says he needs help preparing the herbs he bought so they’ll be ready for travel tomorrow. Something about powdering and tinctures and whatnot.” Y/N smiled at the winded hobbit, suddenly all business. “Lead on” she said, gesturing back the way Bilbo had come. The halfling nodded and turned to retrace his steps. Y/N glanced once more at Fili, blushed furiously, and hurried after him.

As soon as she rounded the corner and disappeared, Fili turned to the jeweler and pointed at the emerald necklace. “I’ll take that, if you please sir”, he said brusquely. The vendor took one look at his flustered countenance, gave a small smile, and carefully placed the necklace in a small, intricately carved box. “I’m sure the lady will be thrilled. The box ye can have for free”.

Oh, Mahal, Fili prayed: please let him be right!

Thanks for the ask, lovely! <3 (choose violence ask game)

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

I'll be crucified by the fandom for this, but.....Sam. I don't truly hate him; I'm pretty neutral toward him on most days, but it's been a long-simmering thing for years with the never-ending "Sam is the real hero" nonsense. But ever since polls* started on here, his fans have gotten that much more aggravating (to me). He's never been a favorite of mine, so it's always been baffling to me as to why people love him so much.

*Yes, my horrific hobbit polls. And every LOTR poll that's been posted since with Sam included as an option has been equally annoying to me. One day I'll stop looking at the notes of polls and be much better off for it.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

"Merry is dumb, only likes to smoke weed, and isn't as funny or interesting as Pippin." It's been 20 years, and PJ's crimes against Merry still have no end in sight. And it makes it so, so hard to find good book!Merry fic—even when filtering for just the books on AO3—because the film characterizations are so prolific.

9. worst part of canon

98% of the Silm? In seriousness, one of the worst parts for me is that mortal lives are much shorter in Valinor than they are in Middle-earth. Ever since I first read about that, it's made Frodo and Bilbo's passing into the west even more bittersweet. Bilbo's days there, though blissful, will be short, and Frodo will be left alone in a new place. He'll have Gandalf and Elrond (and I headcanon Celebrian and Finrod), but it's not the same as family. And I don't know if Frodo would even be alive still by the time Sam sets out for the west. :(( He definitely wouldn't be able to meet Legolas and Gimli again. :( And Gimli's days would be shorter too. :((

It's just all too sad. I try to think about it as little as possible.

10. worst part of fanon

I don't like a lot of the common Fourth Age Gondor fanon (Eowyn and Arwen are besties; Aragorn/Arwen and Eowyn/Faramir go on double dates all the time because they get along so well; everything is blissful and perfect). It's just...not at all how I headcanon the characters and not what canon suggests either, imo.

Aragorn is off at war A Lot, and I can't imagine that makes things easy between him and Arwen; she'd effectively be a single mom most of the time (albeit with support from her handmaidens, I'm sure, but it's not the same as her family being intact, and especially considering she's already given up so much for Aragorn). Aragorn and Faramir have very different views of Gondor's role/position (Aragorn subduing and colonizing the south and east, when Faramir doesn't want Gondor to be a mistress of slaves) that I would imagine put some strain between them. And if Faramir is often at Minas Tirith acting as Steward while Aragorn is off fighting, then Eowyn is likely holding down the fort in Emyn Arnen by herself. I can't imagine she or Faramir would enjoy being separated by duty so much.

That got ramble-y, but tl;dr: I don't have a very cheery view of Fourth Age Gondor, and I'm not a fan of the "everything's happily ever after in Gondor" that's popular in fandom.

3, 5, 10 for the Tolkien asks! 🥰

When did you first come into contact with Tolkien's work? Who or what introduced you?

Honestly I don't have a good story for this one—my family just had the books lying around our house and i just decided i might as well read them. which was an excellent decision these books rule

Ruthlessly rank the main projects of the Tolkien universe (the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Rings of Power, the Silmarillion). You can break Lord of the Rings into three books for additional chaos, if you like.

The Lord of the Rings. It's the lord of the rings. The best? book? Possibly. Yes i think.

The Hobbit—it's a charming and clever little fable with the most likable narrator. I love it so much. Also it has the wood-elves in it I love the wood elves.

The Lay of Leithian—I love sappy romantic poetry. I love pretty descriptions of pretty ladies and I love the absolutely wild heist movie vibes of the whole thing

And since I guess we're including adaptations (since the question asks about rings of power)—The Lay of Leithian: The Rock Opera. This thing was made on a budget of $30 and a roll of duck tape the last people left backstage before they moved in but holy SHIT do they make the most of these $30s. This rock opera goes SO hard for NO reason.

the Lord of the Rings musical! the songs are all SO good and I saw part of it as a stream and oh my GOD is it gorgeous. Like sure it's "poorly paced" and "ludicrously expensive" but it's SO pretty and it has hands down the best Galadriel ever

The Silmarillion. I love the silmarillion. Haven't totally read all of it but that's fine—I've mostly figured out the gist of it.

The Hobbit (1977)! I like their Bilbo and I like how Thranduil is a frog.

Peter Jackson's Very Stupid Hobbit Trilogy: Is it good?? no. Is it made with love and affection for the source material?? Also no. But. My god is it stupid. Isn't that all we need from an adaptation.

Favorite performance by any actor in the Tolkien film projects? Bonus: What's your favorite scene with them?

Oh my god ok back to how the hobbit trilogy wasn't good—but Lee Pace was acting his little heart out as Evil Bitchy Gay Thranduil, which isn't like? an accurate take on the character? But it's SO much fun. Every time he saunters on screen on his moose to say something bitchy and do like a hair flip or whatever it's SO delightful

One once more I came across a person asking me: Is Bilbo a better protagonist than Frodo?

And as a Libra, I'll give an Elven-like "yes and no" answer (...).

Bilbo is a proactive character, the plot only goes forward because the character decides to act, it's in the way he makes decisions. Also, Bilbo is more charismatic. This type of character makes decisions all the time in the plot, and moves the plot BECAUSE of his decisions and active personality. When we talk about these types of characters, we tend to list their accomplishments and how they determined their success (instead of talking about the situation). He makes a spontaneous decision of his own accord and then the plot moves forward.

Furthermore, Bilbo's journey is an adventure and he is very funny and relatable.

The Hobbit, both film and book, is more aimed at children and teenagers. The journey is lighter.

With Bilbo I learned to try, to leave my comfort zone and discover the world!! That the journey transforms us, but we cannot lose the essence. I love Bilbo journey and his happy charism!!

Frodo is a reactive character, that is, everything that happens to him happens because the situation demands it. Characters like this tend to be victims of the situation, in general. Also, when there are fans to defend them they will list facts of the specific situation to support the argument!! This proves that the character is reactive to the situations around him. The situation occurs he has no choice but to "play along".

LotR, both movie and books, are more for young/adults. Frodo's journey is about sacrifice. With Frodo I learned that although the journey is arduous, exhausting and dense, that although the burden is heavy, we can still go on!! I love Frodo resilience.

Both The Hobbit and LotR are excellent stories. It is possible to identify with both.

But generally Bilbo is more pleasant as a protagonist because of his lightness and proactivity, where Frodo is more suffering and dependent.

In general, the public likes more proactive and charismatic characters, so Bilbo is better as a protagonist. While Frodo ends up dependent on the team and hostage of the situation (mainly in the movies where his character was even more harmed).

I enjoyed both the movies and the adaptations. Even with changes, these elements I mentioned remain within the scope of the script.

Each fan is free to identify himself with what suits him best, what best touches his heart, what best stirs his emotions.

It's very personal for each one.

Obviously LotR is more complex as a narrative and as a book, where The Hobbit is more childish and more like a "fairy tale". But who really chooses is the heart which narrative and characters will move us. It is very individual what touches each one emotionally.

@homebehind asked:

Name a muse you wish to write in the future. What’s your favourite thing about this muse?

I've had Bard floating around as a potential muse to write for quite a bit. This isn't necessarily my favorite thing about him, but rather what themes/stories surrounding him makes him a compelling character for me...

He carries the legacy and actions of his ancestors, which influences his own views on the situation he faces at Lake-town (and also influences how people view him). There is also the push/pull of acknowledging that legacy and not wanting it repeated, but having to step up and face it anyway---- followed swiftly by: and now what do you make of this now that it happened? His narrative is also one that involves a strong sense of family and navigating a world not just for himself, but for his loved ones. In other words, he's not just making choices for himself, but for others.

Also, in terms of a writing exercise, I think it would be fun to explore how I might craft his story using materials from the book and films to create a characterization that is unique to the people of Dale whilst also leaving faint elements of an ancestral connection to the people of the Mark and the Beornings.

Which of your muses do you most identify with? Why?

Bilbo + Éomer!

Much like Bilbo, I like my garden, my books, my armchair, my tea, etc. I'm perfectly content being cozy and living a hobbit life. But there is always the Tookish part in me that needs to be scratched every now and again (and yes, sometimes that part needs a wizard poking about to get me started lol). Also, I share in Bilbo's affinity for language, writing, and stories/story-telling.

For Éomer, I've also been on the back of a horse since I could walk. I've cared for and ridden horses all my life, and still do, and they are very much part of the family.

#&. out of character #thank you for these!! <3

A list of parts in The Hobbit book that were not in the movie and I’m still mad about it.

The Dwarf Pile-Up: The part where Bilbo opens his front door and bunch of dwarves come toppling inside his house is in the book, but the difference is Thorin was at the front of the line in book. He gets himself squashed by three dwarves, one of whom is Bombur (what were they doing piled up against the door anyway?), and Bilbo was so mortified that he apologized to him over and over until Thorin just told him not to worry about it. Admittedly, Thorin getting lost twice on the way to Bag End is funny on its own, but still: RIP this part from the book.

This line by Thorin when telling Bilbo to investigate the strange light in the woods that turned out to be the trolls’ cookfire: “Now scuttle off, and come back quick, if all is well. If not, come back if you can! If you can’t, hoot twice like a barn-owl and once like a screech-owl, and we will do what we can.” (In all fairness, it wouldn’t be the weirdest line by Richard Armitage I’ve heard. #God shits in my dinner once again.)

The Spiders: The way this scene plays out in the book is very different from the film in that, yes, Bilbo does distract the spiders and cut the dwarves loose, but the similarities end with what happens next: There is a pretty intense fight scene between Thorin’s Company and the spiders, in which Bilbo is the only one clear-headed enough to fight. The dwarves are so disoriented from spider venom that only four of them are really able to stand up straight. They manage to drive the spiders off countless times out of desperation, and things do get dire enough that the dwarves actually learn about the Ring. But just when everything seems lost, the spiders suddenly decide they’re not worth the fight and retreat. This was a major turning point in the book as it was the start of the dwarves beginning to have real respect for Bilbo, which is character development, which I think is a bit more important than screen time for a character whose not even in the book.

The Barrel Scene: In the book, the dwarves were sealed up in the barrels when they were smuggled out of the Mirkwood, and the elves were none the wiser until literally Thorin showed up in Laketown, and startled everyone at the town banquet. (Which the elves attended, so now I’m imagining a group of elves sitting uncomfortably in the corner of a human party.) After having spent way too much time invisible and clinging to barrels, Bilbo had to wait until nightfall before he could free the dwarves. Thorin, by chance, was the first one out, and was understandably annoyed with Bilbo and his barrel escape plan. Unfortunately for him, Bilbo was 100% done with his shit too and gave him quite a telling off before he made him help get the other dwarves out.

Hi! Just wanted to pop in and say how much I ADORE your art and commentary and analyses for Lord of the Rings! I've just been going through a personal LOTR Renaissance as well, watching the films for the first time in a long time, and reading the books for the first time probably since I was about 13 or so! So anyway I guess what I'm saying is, as a fellow adult (kind of, technically haha) rediscovering LOTR, your blog is just everything I could want!

Also, I was wondering if you've read this fic on AO3, it totally reminds me of your art and the posts you've made about Bilbo and Frodo's relationship, and I just think you would love it! (It made me cry though, so if you do read it, you may wanna bring tissues!)

Anyway! That's a lot but just! Thank you for sharing your art and everything! You're so amazing and cool! 😁❤️

Aww, thank you so much!! Welcome to the Returning to LotR Club! 🤣 I’m so happy to see so many people coming home to this magnificent story.

It’s been a blast to see your tags as you go through my blog! (I especially appreciated the Father’s Day Beregond Spam. Yes indeed, he is Dad, and it was good to see him be appreciated on Dad Day like he deserves. 😉)

The fic was lovely!! The emotional complexity of Frodo and Bilbo’s relationship—especially concerning the Ring—is something that’s been kinda percolating in the back of my brain as I go through this read-through, and this fic did a wonderful job of putting those strange feelings into words. I’ll have to leave a comment sometime later when I have the brainpower and the spoons to do it properly, but in the meantime, I highly recommend the fic to any of my followers who may be reading this; it reminded me a lot of this post, but with many more scenes from Frodo’s childhood, and more metaphors that involve strawberries.

Anyway, all that to say, thank you for saying all this, and I hope you continue to enjoy the blog!

🍓

Giraffe's Eye View | The Hobbit (1977) REVIEW)

Wondering why the sudden case of Deja Vu? It's because this was posted as one long review called 'BINGE WEEK', but I've decided to shorten it for the sake of your sanity and mine. If you're interested in my previous review, click here for my thoughts on 1956's The Ten Commandments! For now though, onwards to a grand adventure!

Let it be known throughout the land that I am not a worshiper of the Church of Tolkien. Before finally checking out Peter Jackson's beloved film trilogy last year, my only exposure to the classic British novelist's work had been Letters from Father Christmas, a collection of letters he wrote to his children as a version of Santa who dealt with a peculiar polar bear when not fighting off goblins.

Ha, wouldn't that have been amazing? Santa Claus vs David Bowie, what would even top that?

How is that not a Marvel comic already? Oh wait, I'm getting off track, let's get back to the point shall we!

As far as The Hobbit goes, any knowledge of that comes from the three-part comic review done by Linkara of @atopfourthwall fame. Any of you who haven't checked them out really should, the show is funny and he brings up a lot of good points in regards to the book and movies. If nothing they taught me about Tolkien's bedtime stories that served the basis for this 1977 animated feature directed by, of all peeps, Rankin and Bass!

For all you young wiper-snappers wondering who Rankin and Bass are, again you have my pity. Unlike VHS though, chances are you've seen the work of these two television icons. They're responsible for seasonal staples such as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, Nester, The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold, Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July, and Nester, The Long Eared Christmas Donkey. Yesir, Nester, a sad rip-off of Dumbo where the mom actually dies! Merry Christmas! Like the tale of the donkey, most of these seasonal specials show their age, but still have timely yuletide messages at their core that ring true today. Combine that with memorable music, charming characters, and the occasional nostalgic nightmare fuel, and you have a lineup of seasonal staples that's as warm and comforting as a cup of hot coco. Still, those are just half-hour Christmas outings. How do Rankin and Bass fare adapting The Hobbit?

Our story focuses around Bilbo Baggins (Orson Bean), an unassuming hobbit content on living a contempt life in the Shire. That is until a wizard named Gandalf (John Huston) randomly comes a calling alongside twelve elves. Eleven of these elves might as well be set dressing considering how much they add to the story. Asides from giving Rankin and Bass regulars like Paul Frees something to do, their only purpose in the plot is to be captured, nearly eaten, then fight in the war of the five armies at the end. Before all that though, they approach Bilbo proclaiming he's a master burglar, asking him to help reclaim their gold from a greedy dragon named Smaug (Richard Boone). Bilbo reluctantly agrees, even going so far as to sign a contract agreeing to join the endeavor. Yes, Bilbo signs a legal piece of paper declaring he's being hired to something illegal. Along the way he encounters trolls, wolf-riding goblins, giant creepy spiders, and a mysterious ring formally owned by a sickly looking creature named Gollum.

Gollum here is far sicklier in appearance than in the Peter Jackson movies, looking like a mutated frog freak that lives exclusively in mud. Honestly I prefer this design and now wish we lived in the timeline where Andy Serkis had to mocap this to life. Other character designs can be off-putting at first, but overtime you get used to them. Two good examples are Bilbo and Smaug. The amount of details on Bilbo's face can come across as creepy at first, but Bean's performance really helps sell the character's sincerity. Smaug, on the other hand, looks more like a cat than a dragon. Maybe I'm just too used to the design made famous by WETA and Benedict Cumberbatch, but every time I saw Smaug in this I kept expecting him to ask me for lasagna before shoving Odie off the table.

Meow.

Joking aside, the movie is a perfectly serviceable adaptation of this fairy tale treasure hunt, though not without a few problems. The songs sprinkled throughout the feature are catchy but ultimately forgettable, there's some wonky animation every now and again, you could've cut out a few dwarves and lost nothing, it was super disappointing how they didn't help defeat Smaug near the end, and the battle of the five armies lacked the epic scope we'd later see in the Jackson movies. Still, if one were to forget the Tolkien retellings we've received since then, the Rankin and Bass take on The Hobbit is as good as gold! I just hope a cat-faced dragon doesn't come along and take my copy...

Assuming one won't, our next feature ironically comes to us from a company founded by the animators

Fun fact about this movie that my friend Alec brought up; it was animated by Topcraft, a studio that sadly went bankrupt in 1985 before three of its members reformed what remained into the company that gave us our next picture...

Comparison between the Movies and Books

J.R.R. Tolkien was a fascinating yet somewhat boring fellow. He would spend a lot of time in his imaginative world and had simple values. Values that got passed down to his characters. He loved good beer, good stories, and a good smoke. From that alone, there are similarities that are passed down between Bilbo and Frodo. Those are kept in both his books and Peter Jackson's films.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien had created entire races, worlds, and languages in his Middle Earth. Peter Jackson attempted his best to recreate that same magic in the movies. Not only the realisim but the magic as well. In an interview, Jackson mentioned how he wanted Saruman to be stabbed in the back and allowed Christopher Lee (Saruman) to the proceed to play the scene accordingly. Lee had actually fought in battle and knew exactly what kind of sound a person would make with that style of wound.

Jackson also seemed to demand a lot to recreate Gollum. There was another conversation that was recorded between Richard Taylor, Daniel Falconer, and Ben Wootten talking about how Peter Jackson really tried to push the technology available to the limits. Gollum was such a crucial character in the stories, two of the most famous J.R.R. Tolkien stories. Gollum was the terrible nightmare a hobbit could become if they were corrupt.

I don't think anyone had been brave enough to try to recreate that magic, at least not without some sort of example to follow through with it. As they said in the talk, not many characters were animated/CGI, they were only just creatures. The Lord of the Rings movies were revolutionary and made history in the world of cinematography. Just as the books did in literature.

Some areas were a bit of a shame because of their difference. Characters got erased along with the time span of the journey. I think the reason that Gandalf had taken so long to confirm that the ring that Bilbo found in his journey is because what are the odds he also found the Arkenstone. Yes, he was meant to technically find the Arkenstone but the ring was also extremely powerful and just found itself in the hands of a Baggins. It took him about 17 years in the books but it seemed like only moments in the film.

For the very long ask game: 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, 18, 21, 22, 23, 25, 28, 32, 33, 36, 37, 40, 45, 47, 49, 52, 57, 60, 65, 69, 71, 79, 86, 96, 98, 99, 128, 138, 140, 148, 160, 197, 216. Feel free to ignore any question that feels too personal or if they're just too many and you don't feel like answering every single one.

Want to know me better? Send me any number!

5: Book/series I reread?

I reread The Hobbit once. The first time I read it was eleven years ago for school. My classmates convinced our substitute teacher to make it our reading assignment for that term because the first Peter Jackson adaptation was coming out that year. I read it and enjoyed it (it was one of the best book assignments I ever had and I remember it very fondly) but I didn't really get into Tolkien until I watched the films. I reread The Hobbit in English when I became a Tolkien fan.

Fun fact about The Hobbit for me is it was the book I analyzed for my end of degree project at university so I reread parts of it then too. I knew I wanted my project to be about Tolkien and I originally wanted to make it about The Lord of the Rings but The Hobbit suited the topic I ended up choosing better and it being a shorter work also made it easier for me.

I wanted to reread The Lord of the Rings too when it was my main obsession but I never found the motivation to reread the whole thing, only the first chapter on Bilbo and Frodo's birthday to celebrate. It's the chapter I remember most fondly and definitely my favourite. I think I read the whole Harry Potter series again once a long time ago but it's not something I usually do. I don't really have a favourite book so I don't have a book I keep coming back to.

7: Writer I trust enough to read whatever they write?

J.R.R. Tolkien, Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott.

9: Favourite flavour of anything?

I'm not sure I have a favourite but I like chocolate and vanilla.

11: Favourite song?

cardigan by Taylor Swift.

13: Favourite word?

Ethereal.

14: The last person who hurt me, did I forgive them?

Yes, she didn't mean to hurt me.

18: Movie I watch when I’m feeling down?

Usually Cinderella (1950). I used to watch The Fellowship of the Ring several years ago and the last one I watched when I was feeling down was Frozen.

21: What am I most afraid of?

People (I have social anxiety) and the future.

22: A good quality of mine?

My depth of sensitivity and emotion.

23: A bad quality of mine?

I'm very insecure.

25: Actor/actress you trust enough to watch whatever they’re in?

Noah Schnapp. Not so much because I trust him (I do) but because I really want to watch everything he's in (not that much so far, he's young).

28: Something I miss?

When my life was simpler.

32: Someone I love?

My beloved.

33: Someone I trust?

My sister.

36: My current obsession?

My beloved.

37: Favourite TV shows as a child?

The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was my absolute favourite but I also liked Hannah Barbera shows (Wacky Races, Top Cat, Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks, Tom and Jerry), Pink Panther, The Powerpuff Girls, Winx Club, Bratz, Trollz, W.I.T.C.H. and Kim Possible.

40: What do I think about most?

My beloved.

45: Last film I watched?

The Peanuts Movie, such a cute funny feel good movie. I watched it mostly for Noah (he voiced Charlie Brown and was absolutely adorable <3) but I enjoyed it a lot, I love it. ♡

47: Favourite animal?

Swan but I also like birds in general.

49: Superpower I wish I could have?

Invisibility.

52: When do I feel most at peace?

When I'm asleep dreaming of my beloved.

57: Favourite drink?

Camomile tea.

60: Pet peeve?

Running into people I know on the street.

65: What fictional universe would I like to be a part of?

I've always wanted to be a fairy tale princess but that's too vague and doesn't really answer the question.

If you had asked me this question about five years ago, I would've said Middle-earth, the Shire specifically, without hesitation. I was in love with it, my dream was to live in Bag End, but now I think it would be nicer and cozier to be Beth March for a day.

Back then, I also would have loved to be a Hogwarts student but now I think it probably wouldn't be as nice as it sounds. I still occasionally come up with Hogwarts AU situations in my head though.

I would love to live close to the Hundred Acre Wood so I could meet its inhabitants.

And although Hawkins is definitely not the best place to live, I'd love to have the chance to see Will.

69: What do I admire most about others?

Their ability to do usual every day tasks effortlessly and have the energy to basically live their lives.

71: Something I wish I could do?

Have the life of my dreams.

79: Sunsets or sunrise?

Sunsets.

86: Who is my hero?

96: Can I cook?

Will the Wise: intelligent, creative, resourceful and most importantly selfless.

Kinda, a few very simple dishes like omelette and pasta but nothing very elaborate.

98: 3 things I love?

Music, fiction, nature.

99: 3 things I hate?

Not being taken seriously, being undervalued, others being insensitive or inconsiderate.

128: Do I admit when I wrong?

I guess? I try.

138: Do I believe in second chances?

I generally do, though it depends on the case. I do if the person is willing to take them.

140: Do I believe people are capable of change?

Yes, if they are willing and committed to change.

148: Which fictional character do I wish was real?

Will Byers.

160: What colour mostly dominates my wardrobe?

Blue, I think. I also have pink, purple, green, grey and white, but I would say it's mostly blue, it's my favorite color.

197: Something I hated as a child that I like now?

The Nightmare Before Christmas, I guess. I wouldn't say I like it now but I don't hate it anymore. I'm mostly indifferent though I still think it's creepy.

216: Favourite fictional character?

Will Byers (Stranger Things), Beth March (Little Women), Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Frodo Baggins (The Lord of the Rings).

Thank you so much for asking. ♡
