of books and of beards

long time book Tolkien fan who has a complicated relationship with the Peter Jackson film adaptations - yes The Hobbit adaptation was technically more faithful than the LOTR films and boy have I posted a lot about that book Faramir stan but David Wenham saved the film version Frodo is Hobbit Galadriel imo ty Richard Armitage for Thorin

reading the BOFA Visual Companion again and it’s like:

“For [dwarves], [dragon sickness] becomes a dangerous form of love-sickness, whereby they can think of little beyond the object of their affections.”

Thorin was obsessed with Bilbo, according to Richard himself. I’ll just go cry in my corner now, please excuse me.

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY (2012)

So sad to hear about Patricia Routledge’s death. Keeping Up Appearances is something I’ve watched and loved since I was a little kid. It’s a funny, goofy comedy on the surface but underneath it you have probably one of the best pieces of commentary on the British class system you can ask for.

“Of course!” said Gandalf. “And why should not they prove true? Surely you don’t disbelieve the prophecies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don’t really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole bene-fit? You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!” Happy birthday, Bilbo Baggins! | Hobbit Day, September 22nd

Shoutout to Superman (2025) for making it incredibly fucking clear that Superman is for good people. He’s hope. He’s love. He’s supportive. He’s an immigrant. He supports Palestine. He loves animals. He protects children.

The movie is a light. If you’ve been feeling really depressed about the world lately I’d highly suggest watching Superman.
