Tolkien Shit

This is probably just gonna be reblogs now

[sillylotrpolls]

In The Hobbit (1977) and The Return of the King (1980) movies by Rankin/Bass, Thranduil and Legolas look quite different from each other despite being father and son. Why?

Legolas took after his mother

Recessive genes

Legolas is adopted

Legolas is actually short and green, but uses a glamour to appear otherwise

Thranduil is actually tall and blonde, but uses a glamour to appear otherwise

That Thranduil was actually a decoy, in case the dwarves tried assassination

Legolas is still in the larval stage of his species

All that heavy drinking eventually affected Thranduil's looks

Legolas' dad is a different Thranduil; two elves can have the same name, geez

Okay, so, do you know the canonical backstory for Smurfette…?

Something something Silmarillion

I don't engage in Watsonian theorizing when Doylist explanations are obvious

The actual answer is, of course, multiple of these

[butchamy]

I mean the actual answer is "that second image isn't from Rankin Bass Return of the King it's from Bakshi Lord of the Rings" but it's also all of them

[elodieunderglass]

You understand the assignment profoundly

when i say i like hiking, i don’t mean “eight mile backpacking trip with special gear and an emergency beacon” sort of hiking, i mean a three mile loop to go look at pretty things and then a huge brunch after.

[alphacrone]

this is in no way a slam on hardcore hiking, it’s very fun, but i mostly just need to lower people’s expectations when i say hiking is a hobby of mine

[lawfulgoodness]

"No no, that's ranger hiking. I like hobbit hiking."

#you gotta be more specific man#Hobbits are specifically famous for two Really Long Walks

saw an inspiring video that said you need to have 4 hobbies.

create, consume, cavort, commune

create: bring something to life consume: appreciate the art of another cavort: move your body daily commune: have a community to socialize with

end image description.

[lierdumoa]

I think you need hobbies that do all four things but the number of hobbies needed to cover all these needs may vary. Some hobbies pull double/triple duty. Some hobbies can cause repetitive stress injuries so it's good to have a few different ones that fulfill the same need so you can rotate to get the fulfillment without the carpal tunnel.

[leebrontide]

Tumblr really is aging.

This is true tho.

[inthefallofasparrow]

Misread this as 'you need to have 4 hobbits'

[tanoraqui]

also true! there’s a really famous three-volume self-help guide about that!

unless all you’re doing is liberating a single mountain from a dragon, in which case you can probably get by with just one, so long as you also have a lot of dwarves.

[ereborslionheart]

tolkien fans are insufferable because you'll agree to watch the movies with them and then seven hours in they'll say "omg my favourite character is about to appear!" and it's a fucking siege weapon

grond is when you gotta change discs on the extended edition. grond signals snack breaks and a refill of the wine. grond is an omen of good fortune and some respect should be put on his fucking name

#why does everyone sleep on tolkiens paintings and drawings#they slay so much

I don't know! Every time I see his work I go 'that's rad, I've never seen that before. Why have I never seen that berore???' Here's a (no doubt incomplete) gallery of his work on Tolkien Gateway

https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Category:Images_by_J.R.R._Tolkien

It contains a lot of great stuff, a lot of art I've never seen and I don't know why I've never seen it, and also some art I've seen but never knew was by Tolkien, such as this book cover

Look!!!!

Trolls!!!!!

The Three Trolls are turned to Stone!!!!

Look!

SMAUG!!!!

[general-illyrin]

Wait, we have a drawing from the author of what Dunharrow looks like?!

And an aerial view of Helm's Deep?!

And another view!

We have images of Nargothrond?!?!

These are so helpful for even getting an inkling of an idea of what these places looked like!

hey so i dont really have a lot of time to waste here but my dog is really sick and we don't have the money to get her to the vet. Her name is Bailey, she just turned 9, and lately she has been trembling like a leaf. She won't eat, going to the bathroom seems to be hard, and she shakes constantly.

Bailey is one of the most important things in the world to me, and to my grandmother, the woman who raised me.

I need $600. My commissions are here, my Kofi is here, and my p4ypal is here.

now look at my scruff monster

[renjaminnifer]

Bailey is headed to the vet in an hour. the $600 estimate may have been wrong? I'm getting conflicting information but regardless I've got a lil over $200 now and I cannot thank you all enough. i don't know if its enough yet but it WILL help so, so much. thank you

[renjaminnifer]

BAILEY UPDATE!!!

we ended up taking her to a different vet than the one who gave us the $600 estimate. the $225 we got in donations fully covered everything and i could not be more happy

the verdict is that she has hookworms. she is going to be okay though! she's drinking plenty, and got a couple shots. we have some meds to start her on tomorrow, plus some special food.

thank you literally so much to everyone who reblogged and/or donated. im so happy we were able to get her to the vet so fast thanks to yall. bailey sends a million kisses forever

[renjaminnifer]

a slightly sadder bailey update

she's alive and breathing and drinking water, but she hasn't eaten in a week or so. i'm now im charge of giving her her medication, but she's barely got the strength to move. she's like a ragdoll.

we might have to make a second vet visit. we're gonna try to get one of those dropper things to feed her, and see if that helps.

any d0nations help, even a dollar. i cant lose her

[spikeattack]

My friend’s dog is really sick and he needs $500 for her tonight for the vet or she probably won’t make it. Please help if you can and share this around so Bailey can get the help she needs

[spikestartrek]

This isn’t something I ever wanted to do but I am trying to move houses and due to complications selling my lease I am becoming dangerously short on money. I cannot back out of my new lease at this point, and everything was in line for it not to cause financial strain when I signed but of course life doesn’t always workout that way.

I am trying to do everything I can at work to make more money but I am already working full-time and my company is trying to cut back on overtime. I am still trying to sell my old lease but unfortunately have not seen any more interest in it

Please consider helping if you have anything you can spare or share this around. And if you would like I am even offering art commissions ranging from $5 for a doodle to $25 for a bigger piece

Bugs Bunny could have simply walked into Mordor. He would have shown up at the gates of Mordor in a disguise and been like “Evil volcano inspection unit” and flashed a fake ID badge to the confused orc.

[themodernmaccabee]

Love the implication here that the one ring would have little to no effect on Bugs

[tyrantisterror]

To be fair, it’s canonically established in Lord of the Rings that Tom Bombadil, an inexplicable magical trickster, is unaffected by the ring, and the only reason they don’t give the job to him is because Tom Bombadil is a silly little man who’s easily distracted and just wants to spend time with his hot wife.

Bugs Bunny, on the other hand, loves nothing more than fucking over self-important dickheads, and is also an inexplicable magical trickster, so he would in fact be perfect for this mission.

[unassimilatedsoul]

The One Ring may not tempt Bugs, but he’d have other problems with the mission: he’d get lost halfway there (”I knew I should’ve made a left turn at Albuquerque”) and get distracted enough to hand the One RIng to Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam as a prank, only for it to be stolen by Daffy Duck, leading to an ever-increasing number of characters on an increasingly-destructive chase across Middle Earth as everyone keeps stealing it from each other, (Bugs would definitely pull the “evil volcano inspector” gag to get into Mordor, and he’d then immediately turn around and pose as a customs agent stopping whoever currently has the ring at the border and relieving them of it as “contraband”) culminating in an all-out brawl at Mount Doom.  Bugs manages to reclaim the ring one last time as everyone else is busy fighting each other, only for Daffy to come out of nowhere and grab it out of his hands.  Laughing maniacally, Daffy doesn’t realize that his victory dance has taken him right off the edge off a cliff - until Bugs points it out, at which point gravity reasserts itself, and Daffy and the ring both plunge to the fiery depths below

[eastofthemoon]

Daffy would just be crawling out of the volcano, feathers completely gone and he’s brunt to a crisp while Bugs is eating a carrot and just says:

“Got a good tan, doc?” “YOU’RE DESPICABLE!”
