To anyone who believes fairy tale romances never happen in real life, may I remind you that JRR and Edith Tolkien met and experienced a forbidden love in their youth, and then were separated for five whole years because of his guardian’s rules that he could not date till he was 21, and she got engaged to someone else only because she assumed he’d forgotten her and lost hope that she could ever be with him, but then on his 21st birthday, he wrote her a letter saying he still loved her and wanted to marry her, she responded basically saying ‘if I’d known you hadn’t left me on the shelf, I would never have said yes to anyone else,’ then a week later she greeted him at the train station and then immediately dumped her fiancé, and they got married and she converted to his religion and danced for him in a flowering field far away from the trenches into which he was drafted, which left such an impression that he crafted an entire story about the most beautiful maiden in the world who danced in the woods and made enormous sacrifices to be with the man she loved, and they had four kids and remained faithful to each other and blissfully grew old together and their gravestones are now marked with the names of that same fictional couple that he created, who broke every rule and overcame every possible obstacle to be together and get a happy ending, who only did all that because he based it all on their own real love story.
because my English level is AO3 dupes
Warner Bros isn't trying to promote this movie anymore, apparently, so I guess I'll have to do it. They just dropped this incredible song less than a day ago and I am feral. I will not apologize for the person I will become after December 13th. This looks incredible.
Thinking about these two. A LOT
I like to imagine for Gimli “elf traits” slowly become “Legolas traits” until he’s in too deep.
Mini comic style thingy fueled by 2am hype only. Dont mind me not deciding on the faces i r u s h ed
I literally can’t get myself to sit through movies that don’t have women. I’m like where the fuck are the women? Why are there so many men? This is boring as fuck goodbye
Something I need the fix it AU writers who use Frodo as Bagginsgields child to focus more on:
Gimli meeting a hobbit that looks strangely like Thorin Oakenshield but has the last name Baggins before connecting the dots:
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!
Bilbo, crouching over in pain : Owwww
Thorin, panicked : What happened?!
Bilbo : ... Nothing
Thorin : I promise to stay calm if you tell me
Bilbo : I stubbed my toe on a table
Thorin, holding an axe : Which table?!?!
I love him
it always confused why everyone would arrive at bilbo’s house separately if they all traveled to the shire together but then i realized. that trick gandalf pulls on beorn. where he has everyone come in slowly instead of all at once. its the same thing hes doing to bilbo.
now the question remains: is this gandalf’s go-to plan when trying to make someone okay with having 13 dwarves in their house, or does he view bilbo and beorn as both uniquely unhinged individuals who need to be handled like a wild animal that could bite at any minute? i need to Know
