Watching Return of the King and wondering why Frodo isn’t a blond, bespectacled, mild-mannered ball of Dad Sass Energy…my perspective is forever changed for the better, @frodo-with-glasses 😂
#I’m over here like hmmmm#where is my baby?#where is my golden-haired boy?#elijah is wonderful but can you imagine?#glasses broken#gentle face twisted with exhaustion and darkness#golden hair brown with dirt and dust and muck#it’s angst hours over in my corner imagining my favorite mild-mannered scholar broken and bloody at the end of everything#unaware that so many people are fighting for him and only able to rely on a friend who is just as broken as he is#and knowing that after all your effort you’ll never get to see home again#gosh this has always done something to me but what I love so much about the Frodo with glasses design is it adds a layer of delicacy#he’s a nerd and a scholar and he’s saving the world and dying for it#and he can’t even see#i dunno I just love it#makes him real#and Sam did so much I know but Frodo is so fascinating to me as a character#his quiet strength encourages me
