So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.
Frodo, sobbing: What do you want from me?
Pippin: *standing in the corner of the room, eating a kit-kat the wrong way*
Frodo: PLEASE, JUST STOP
imagine you’re on a road trip with the love of your life and your boyfriend like, insists you pick up this fucked up little hitchhiker who’s like 4 feet tall and looks like he’s literally about to die, then you hear the hitchhiker conspiring to KILL you and your boyfriend and steal your shit, so you tell your boyfriend and he’s like “oh no he’s harmless you’re lying” and basically this fucked up danny devito sized slimeball breaks up your relationship and your boyfriend leaves you on the side of the road!! that’s what happened to samwise gamgee.

I drew a fun doodle for patreon where Aredhel was wearing a cloak embellished with 100% not vegan balrog teeth and I really like that idea, so here is her borrowing her dad’s until she’s old enough to get her own teeth
I had a really beautiful storybook about a native american girl when I was growing up, this is definitely inspired by that
If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on

Pardon me while I beat a dead horse but it’s just SO funny how Tolkien was trying to think of a way to continue the fun little universe he invented, and right off the bat he was like “bilbo is way too much of a rude bitch to handle the dark storyline I have in mind”… but he wanted his hero to be related to bilbo still so he considered making it bilbo’s son…. but then he was like “well that means I have to explain bilbo getting a wife and for reasons I somehow just can’t put my finger on that makes absolutely NO sense at all…” so instead he just invented a tragically orphaned cousin-nephew and then accidentally made him gay too….
