Lord Of The Ring

The One story to rule them all

[faustandfurious]

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins would have voted for Trump

[verycorrectlotr]

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins is anti-capitalist and would not have voted for trump

lobelia sackville-baggins is the leader of the class revolution and bilbo and trump are the first to be axed

[faustandfurious]

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins is upper middle class, dislikes foreigners and steals spoons from her relatives. Your argument is invalid

[verycorrectlotr]

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins is by your own logic communist and therefore would have hated Trump & most likely wouldn’t have voted at all, instead opting to guillotine him and in this essay i will.

[oh-lawd-its-the-ring]

First rule of writing an essay, do not acknowledge the essay in the essay

[faustandfurious]

This went from bad to worse

#adding ‘lobelia wouldnt have voted for trump’ to the list of Hills Im Dying On That Make Perfect Sense To Me But Not Apparently Anyone Else

I am willing to respect your opinion on this depending on whether you agree with the following statement: Lotho Sackville-Baggins would have voted for Trump.

[verycorrectlotr]

Not only would Lotho Sackville-Baggins have voted for Trump, Lotho Sackville-Baggins is the in-universe trump. rules-lawyering frodo’s property into his possession, immediately setting himself up as ruler of the Shire, shady under-the-table profit deals with Saruman, could go on

[penny-anna]

I hate that you’re right.

[peteschult-deactivated20191212]

My kid just pointed out that @verycorrectlotr ’s explanation means that if you map LOTR over to our universe, then (since “Lotho” = Trump and “Lobelia” would = Trump’s mom) in our universe and only in our universe “Lobelia” would vote for her Precious son Donald.

[verycorrectlotr]

lobelia disowned her son for capitalist crimes & never looked back. she lives alone as a rich single spoon-hoarder. she boos and throws popcorn at the screen when lotho appears on tv

[peteschult-deactivated20191212]

I guess this means that the Secret Service is on the alert not to let Grimma Wormtongue get anywhere near Trump.

                                 Far over the misty mountains cold                                 To dungeons deep and caverns old                                   We must away, ere break of day,                                    To find our long-forgotten gold.

  At the south end of the greensward there was an opening. There the green floor ran into the wood, and formed a wide space like a hall, roofed by the boughs of trees. Their great trunks ran like pillars down each side. In the middle there was a wood-fire blazing, and upon the tree-pillars torches with lights of gold and silver were burning steadily. The Elves sat around the fire upon the grass or upon the sawn rings of old trunks. Some went to and fro bearing cups and pouring drinks; others brought food on heaped plates and dishes.   ‘This is poor fare’ they said to the hobbits; ‘for we are lodging in the greenswood far from our halls. If ever you are guests at home, we will treat you better.’   'It seems to me good enough for a birthday-party’ said Frodo.   Pippen afterwards recalled little of either food or drink, for his mind was filled with the light upon the elf-faces, and the sound of voices so various and so beautiful that he felt in a waking dream. But he remembered that there was bread, surpassing the savour of a fair white loaf to one who is starving; and fruits sweet as wildberries and richer than the tended fruits of gardens; he drained a cup that was filled with a fragrant draught, cool as a clear fountain, golden as a summer afternoon.

Still my favorite story from the Lord of the Rings set: Viggo Mortensen bonded so much with the horse he rode in the movies that after filming was over he bought it from its owner. If that doesn’t warm your heart I don’t know what could.

[terecita-deactivated20201128]

don’t forget that he also bought arwen’s horse for her stunt rider when she couldn’t afford it awww

[1nksplotched-deactivated2014020]

#also don’t forget that for the rohirrim they put a call out for locals #bring a horse show us you can ride it and get a part in the battle scenes #and one women went out roped a wild horse and rode for a few days to set #and got to be a rider of rohan

[retaliatesfirst]

also sort of relevant viggo also bought the horse that costarred with him in the movie hidalgo and subsequently took the horse (tj) with him to the red carpet premier. 

[thefeathercloak]

Also most of the Riders of Rohan are actually women because when they put out that call mostly women showed up with their horses and the costume team just stuck beards on them.

if this isn’t the best post i don’t

[lilyrose225writes]

So you’re saying the entire Rohan army could have killed the Witch-King of Angmar.

[son-of-drogo]

Witch King: No living man can kill me!

several thousand riders of Rohan: *rip their fake beards off*

Witch King: Oh fuck…

[immortalsins]

People give Frodo a hard time for his fixation on the ring (which is dumb) including the scene where Sam has the ring and he’s asking for it back. Yeah, Frodo wants the ring because he’s grown attached to it. That’s obvious. That happens to literally everyone who comes in contact with the ring. Even Sam momentarily didn’t want to give it up.

But I think people ignore the fact that Frodo also didn’t want Sam to carry it, even temporarily, because he didn’t want Sam to suffer as he was suffering. When Sam gives the ring back to Frodo, Frodo says “It would destroy you, Sam.” Frodo was protecting Sam by not letting him have it. Frodo would rather suffer the ring than watch Sam go through the pain of carrying it. And Sam recognized this. That’s why he threw Frodo on his back and carried him rather than carrying the ring.

Of course Frodo was attached to the ring and that played into this as well, but he was also protecting Sam and people tend to ignore that.
