Merry: Okay, let’s go over this again. What do we do when something goes wrong? Sam: We try to fix it before Gandalf gets back. Merry: And if that doesn’t work? Frodo: We blame Pippin Merry: Good. Pippin: wha-

One of the LOTR chapters that will always break my heart is The Black Gate Opens, mainly the end of it. Because at the end of it, we just see Pippin losing every little ounce of hope that he ever had, (even if it was just a fool's hope). Pippin becomes so hopeless that he just accepts the fact that all of them were going to die right there and then, including himself and he doesn't mind that, he embraces this fact and even wishes Merry was with him, so they could both die together, he even goes as far as to say that he understood Denethor's final actions, because if they were going to die anyway, then why not side by side?

Then Sauron's army comes, bringing with it the trolls, and one of them knocks Beregond down and then as the man lies unconscious, and the troll reaches down to kill him, Pippin stabs the troll and it dies and it falls on him, and we have no idea if it fell on Pippin, because he couldn't get out of the way on time or because he didn't want to get out of the way, and as he lies underneath it, he just happily accepts that this was the 'end of his story'

Like, This whole entire moment is so underrated, I want to scream.

something that really gets me about Lord of the Rings post-breaking-of-the-fellowship is that at some point, every group of characters is under the impression that they are, ostensibly, the last people alive. And they still manage to go on despite the sadness and hopelessness of this.

When Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli go off to find Merry and Pippin in The Two Towers, there’s a lot of moments in which they consider that their search might be in vain. They’ve lost Gandalf, they’ve lost Boromir, they have no idea if Frodo and Sam are still alive, and logically, Merry and Pippin don’t have a great chance of survival in their current situation.

The reverse is true for Merry and Pippin. They know that there’s a very real chance that everyone else has been killed and that they were only spared because the orcs think they have the ring.

Even when most of the fellowship reunites at Isengard, they still have no idea what happened to Frodo and Sam and they’re left wondering about them until the end of Return of the King 

When Faramir tells Frodo and Sam that Boromir is dead, there’s a moment where the two of them consider that everyone else probably is as well, that they only survived because they abandoned the fellowship. Faramir does tell them that Boromir wouldn’t have had a funeral if no one else was alive, but that leaves them with very little hope, because that could still mean that most of their friends are dead. And they have to continue the rest of their journey with this knowledge. They never get relief until the very end, and that’s one of the reasons why the two of them (in many ways) bear the heaviest burden. 

I just think that’s a huge part of the haunting atmosphere that the darker parts of LOTR really emulate. The idea that everyone you care about is gone, but that you have to keep going anyway, because it’s really the only thing left to do.

Its drag night at the Green Dragon who's coming with

[themysterytrip]

LOL this is such an excellent thought... Merry and Pippin would absolutely be dancing on tables as beautiful lasses. They’d bring all the comedy to hobbit drag night
