Aragorn: Today I realised I'm old
Eomer: Oh? How so?
Aragorn: I slipped and fell in the courtyard and instead of laughing, all my Elven friends came running to see if I was alright
Eomer : (laughing)
Aragorn: I saw fear in Legolas’ eyes
Do y'all ever read a fic so good that it makes you want to elevate your own craft and also befriend the writer? It's almost like, "Hi! You write so well that you've inspired me to embark on a creative training arc. Also, can I yell about the character in your dms because you get it?"
tolkien fans: "omg you HAVE to read the silmarillion so you can know about my poor little baby blorbo finwenduwë"
the blorbo in question:
Gimli: What is Aragorn doing?
Legolas: He was raised by Lord Elrond.
Gimli: You say that like that makes it make sense, but it doesn't.
"why did the ring mostly affect frodo and not bilbo who had it for a gazillion years" objectively has a textual answer but i think the best answer is that sauron just likes bilbo more than frodo
bilbo: *uses the ring to hide from his relatives*
sauron, remembering almaren: yknow. real.
