got this earlier 😋 my plan is to own this book in every language i speak, this is the 3rd one i have currently
Richard Armitage on Thorin Oakenshield.
Rewatching Desolation of Smaug and had almost forgotten about Thorin being absolutely unhinged and bullying Smaug into firing up their forge WITHOUT WARNING HIS COMPANY
The company, silly edition
it’s the way that aragorn introduced his lifelong friend to a mutual and ended up becoming a third wheel on his own quest to save middle earth. like bro was covered in dirt trying to sleep for an hour while the dwarf n elf were giggling n flirting on their bedrolls forced to witness an enemies to friends to lovers fic in real time
Boromir the mansplaining Chad
Now I'm no Boromir hater, I often defend him from accusations of being a "bad guy". But he's weirdly the most commonplace in our world kind of man in Tolkien's work. He has a good heart but boy does his attitude reek of entitlement in many places. He lacks the humility to truly listen even when the wisest in Middle Earth are speaking. He seeks to push his will and if he can't reason his way into making people do what he'd like he attempts manipulation by pouting a bit "if that hasn't earned some payment then I'll go back to Minas Tirith alone." The whole trip he pushes for the ring to go to Minas Tirith no matter how much others caution him. He misses the cues to drop the topic and keeps trying to force his will upon the company. It smacks of a man trying to convince a woman to go out with him and he just ignores the cringes, the polite answers, the her removing herself from proximity, the gentle nos and when he's given a resounding no he loses his temper and gets borderline violent.
I don't think it's any coincidence that the real time seduction of the Ring on a member of the Race of Man is happening with a man who is in every way so commonplace to the men of reality. Tolkien had served in war, he'd seen the varieties of masculinity in all their shapes sizes and personalities. Who can say how many "noble fighting men" like Boromir he'd seen lose their lives some plausibly due to hubris as much as enemy missiles. Boromir is a good man but more accurately he is the perfect representation of a privileged man of our times trying to perform masculinity versus the Aragorns and Faramirs who possess the quiet confidence that they don't require thanks, submission, repayment, or accolades. The "blood of the men of Westernesse" feels like Tolkien's code for "less likely to be an entitled dick" when it comes to the trilogy.
But Boromir in spite of his flaws is still a good man, he's just a mega Chad and that needs to be acknowledged too.
i think what makes me genuinely loves LOTR is the fact that the fellowship are genuinely a family. I think i've seen too many fantasy thingy where the "main character" or the "strong character" don't necessarily close with the rest of the team but with LOTR i think it's different. Like how Aragorn genuinely cares with the hobbits and such
Sometimes i never really realize just how crazy bilbo was. Like he tried to CONVINCE trolls into not eating his friends after being away from his house for the first time for like only a week. THIS GUY PICKED UP AN ACORN AT BEORNS AND CARRIED IT WITH HIM TO EREBOR. what was going on in that brain
It blows my mind that by giving the mithril shirt to Bilbo, Thorin indirectly saved Frodo and thus prevented the Ring-bearer from dying and the Quest from failing. The world was ultimately saved because the exiled King Under the Mountain fell in love with a hobbit.
watching lotr after the hobbit is fucking hilarious ‘cause every encounter with danger goes
Bilbo: actively saves everyone
Frodo: actively tries to die
