one of my favorite bits in lord of the rings is something the movies didn't really try to do because it's entirely internal, but sam's carrying the ring and it starts trying to do its work on him, so he's having these intrusive visions of himself marching at the head of a vast and terrible army, and he just starts laughing because, me? samwise gamgee? sam gamgee the general sam gamgee the dark lord are you for real? man i just want to go home and do some gardening. and the ring gets frustrated and it starts trying to figure out other stuff that would actually tempt sam and it's finally like, okay, but hear me out: imagine if you could have...A REALLY REALLY BIG GARDEN
and then he's like, i don't know that sounds like a lot more work than a regular garden actually. why don't we just get on with finding mister frodo
I’m bored and I want to come back here after I had my break so I might turn on anons for a bit. the second I get someone misbehaving though they’re going back on lol
The Life of a Frodo Baggins Fan That’s Already Scoured The Internet for Everything About Frodo Baggins: a Tragedy
I can’t recall the taste of food… nor the sound of water… nor the touch of grass. I’m naked in the dark, with nothing, no veil between me and the wheel of fire!
ELIJAH WOOD as Frodo Baggins in THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY 2001-2003 | dir. Peter Jackson.
Peter Jackson on casting Frodo
“Frodo was a very, very important character in the movies. But he’s also a very difficult character to play and to cast. […] We were convinced that Frodo is gonna be an English actor, ’cause we wanted the Hobbits to basically be English as Tolkien really wrote them. So, we went to London and we started auditioning.
We couldn’t think of any actor to play Frodo. We had nobody in mind. We thought it would be unknown English actor, a young kid. We were in London auditioning for about a month and we’ve probably seen three hundred Frodos. There were two or three that were okay, but nothing magical, you know. ’Cause Frodo had to be magical. Every time the casting room door opened and some nervous young actor would come in, we were saying, ‘is this gonna be Frodo?’ And you sort of know within ten seconds that it wasn’t really Frodo. It was a worry, but we were plugging on.
And then our casting director said to us one day, ‘A package’s just come in the mail. It’s from Elijah Wood’. It was a video tape, a VHS tape. I had heard Elijah’s name, but I’ve never seen a film he’d done. I actually had no face for Elijah, I didn’t know how he looked like.
So, we put the video tape in. Elijah was in LA and heard that we were in London and we’re not gonna come to LA. He really wanted to get this role. So, he hired a dialect coach to teach him accent, he’d gone to the local costume-hire, got some cheesy kind of Hobbit costume on. He’d gone into the trees somewhere behind his house with a friend, and he just videotaped his own audition. He didn’t have our script, so he was reading from the book, he was doing Frodo parts from the book.
I just put this video tape in, and literally, not having known who Elijah Wood was really, I just thought, ‘he’s wonderful, he’s absolutely great’. And so, Elijah cast himself”.

racists are way too comfortable in the tolkien fandom i think we need to turn the shaming up
the other elves welcoming Legolas in Valinor
Favourite Council of Elrond Moments, roughly in order of appearance:
Bilbo bristling up at Boromir for belittling Aragorn, like 'Since you came all this way, you might bloody well listen to Elrond.'
Aragorn: 'I'm glad our friends the Wood-elves have Gollum safely in custody.' Legolas, sweating buckets: 'Erm... actually he kind of gave us the slip because we treated him too humanely.'
'I liked white better.'
Bilbo: 'Yeah yeah I know, it was old Bilbo who started this whole mess - when are we going?'
It’s October 24, the day Frodo woke up in Rivendell! Happy Low Opacity Elrond Day to all who celebrate!
the only time of the year this can be posted
@lotrweek day 3: blue / thy heart shall rest no more
Frodo went tramping over the Shire with them; but more often he wandered by himself, and to the amazement of sensible folk he was sometimes seen far from home walking in the hills and woods under the starlight. - ‘But,’ said Sam, and tears started in his eyes, ‘I thought you were going to enjoy the Shire, too, for years and years, after all you have done.’ ‘So I thought too, once. But I have been too deeply hurt, Sam. I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.’
*thinks about Frodo Baggins briefly and gets so choked up I nearly throw up* I like the lotr series a normal amount
Must of been insane being one of the dwarves who fought in the Battle of the Five Armies and then moved to Erebor after its reclaimatuon. Thorin Oakenshield was like “Let’s reclaim the mountain” and all your big leaders (and probably yourself) was like: fuck no there’s a dragon in there. He proceeds to go anyway and takes 12 dwarves and that’s the last you hear about him for awhile. Then all the sudden, his cousin Dain is one day like: Thorin called for aid. Dude what, you ask. The mountain was reclaimed, he said. Wtf, he did it. Okay let’s join Dain’s army and see what’s happening. They probably just need help with setting up the mountain and keeping thieves at bay, no biggie. You get there and never the fucking mind. You interrupt a negotiation meeting between King Thranduil (that one elf who didn’t do anything when Smaug attacked) and some random human guy. (You later learn Thorin had dragon sickness and went crazy over the arkenstone) And Thorin signals for war so congrats! You’re about to fight some humans and elves. Only, plot twist, there’s an army of orcs advancing, so now your kind of teaming up with the elves and humans. Whatever, you win the battle yay! Now let’s go to your king—oh he’s dead? Man okay. Let’s go to his nephew the crowned prince—oh he’s gone to? Well we’ll go to the second nephew—tf you mean he’s dead to? And who tf is that elf girl weeping over him? Okay whatever Dain’s King now. But man, we should all go to the funeral for the late King Thorin and his nephews. Yeah sure, they died, but they died reclaiming our home and believed our future when even we could not. It’s really—who the fuck is that. No really who is that 3ft creature that’s weeping over the late king’s body. That is not a dwarf. It’s what? A hobbit? Wait he was in the company? He was a thief? Oh so he was a criminal? No? He was literally just some guy that the wizard picked and they all had him join the quest despite never burglaring before? Oh I bet he wasn’t much help. What’s that? He got their asses out of multiple encounters during the journey? Oh okay. Rock on little guy. I’m glad we had such a noble person join the company who did it out of the goodness in his heart despite not being a dwarf l—he and Thorin were what? Did you just say they had a homoerotic relationship? Omg that’s…idk I just wasn’t expecting that. Huh? What do you mean, of course they kissed! It was a long treck to Erebor.
Happy Hobbit Day everyone! It’s the anniversary of Bilbo’s birthday (and Frodo’s as well, in the book!) just reposting some Hobbiton paintings I’ve made over the past few months.
September the 22nd, actually dawned. The sun got up, the clouds vanished, flags were unfurled and the fun began. Bilbo Baggins called it a party, but it was really a variety of entertainments rolled into one. Practically everybody living near was invited. A very few were overlooked by accident, but as they turned up all the same, that did not matter.
