Which is a Better pairing?

Arwen x Aragorn or eowyn x faramir

Arwen and Aragorn, their love is goals. Balance of power and mutual respect for one another's capabilities. He was practically raised among the elves, hence his fluent tongue in their language. She gave up her immortality (or at least the very closest one can attain in their realm) so as to live a life with him. What sacrifice and devotion did he protest rather than think of a day without her in the world, even without him there. I know it's strictly a movie based quote, but damn if it doesn't stick:

“I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone."

Come onnnnnnnnn

gosh I love your lotr fics and ocs especially Mosbûrz the boy needs a hug and Good dad or to be born in the happy timeline lol

Aww thank you. I have a fondness for orc stories in the LotR fandom (and also outside of it). One of these days, I’ll write a full on original story with orc/goblin drama. My Princess & the Goblin vibes cannot be tamed.

Poor Mos got written into the Nightmare Remix timeline 😩 I can’t decide if he’s a consolation prize or punishment for Merilinel, all because she survived the torment she did in that fic series 😭🥹

Hiiiii okay okay, I need a second opinion. I finally convinced my partner to watch the lotr and hobbit trilogies with me, but I’m not sure where to start — whether to give him the chronologically accurate experience, or to show them in the order they were made. Personally, I love lotr best, but the hobbit is a lot of fun. So I’m not sure which would be the best way to introduce him to the wonderful world of middle earth lol. What would you do?

Hello anonymous! I would suggest to watch The Lord of the Rings first. If they love LOTR you should then suggest to watch The Hobbit.

LOTR trilogy is just overall super well done and has aged well. The Fellowship of the Ring is also superb movie to start with. I of course suggest the extended editions BUT if they are not that into it, they are quite long.

But yeah LOTR trilogy first, then The Hobbit if they like LOTR. And you can give a bit of warning that The Hobbit is not up to bar with LOTR trilogy quality wise.

Just my thoughts. Thank you for asking 💜

Who had the better Journey bilbo or Frodo

Well, if you say better journey I would say Bilbo. He came back with very little scars while Frodo came back with PTSD and very deep wounds that would never heal. 🥺 so Bilbo definitely had a better adventure.

Hi! ALegitName here! Hope you're well! Halloween is almost upon us! Merili x Kârburz question! Do you imagine Halloween (or Hallow's Eve) is celebrated in any cultures in Middle Earth? I always imagined the Black Numenoreans having some kind of celebration. What do you think Kârburz would make of the occasion? An excuse to cause mayhem? Lmao

Hello again, dearie!!! Sadly, I was traveling on business all week and didn’t even get to be home on Halloween 🎃🥲

Though I doubt Halloween as we know it was celebrated in Middle Earth, I’m sure something similar to Samhain or All Hallow’s Eve was observed, as one might have seen in the England-ish region of the Middle Ages (though Samhain was Celtic, but some features of the celebration were adopted by England over time, as I understand it, pulled into All Hallow’s Eve).

I don’t know how Kârburz and the orcs would feel about the wearing of masks to hide from evil spirits. I imagine he would either laugh and say he ‘don’t need no stupid mask’, because he’s what people hide from. Or, he and his groups of nasty lads would put together outrageous masks and cause all sorts of mayhem around the city, peeping in ladies windows and crashing bonfire parties, all while drinking all their ale.

On the other hand, I imagine the Black Númenóreans would be all about grotesque ritual sacrifice and the burning of effigys …🫣

Do you have a favourite poem or song in lotr (specifically those books)??

thanks so much for the ask @myrtaceaae!!!

I really like “Seek for the Sword that was broken,” and walking song. I really like Aragorn’s song about Beren and Luthien too but those two are my favorites 💖

Thanks again for the ask!!

Hi! I wanted to send this in! For the lotr asks!

🔮 palantír: you've found a palantir! Who are you hitting up in middle earth? What are you telling them?

⛏ expedition to Moria: which side character's adventures would you watch a spin-off movie about?

💎 the arkenstone: favourite Thorin and/or company moment?

Thank you! ✨

🔮 palantír: you've found a palantir! Who are you hitting up in middle earth? What are you telling them?

Since I have the knowledge of what would happen on Ravenhill, I’d contact Thorin and warn him to not go there (and to please not send the lads off to go find Azog; wait for stronger reinforcements before taking him out).

⛏ expedition to Moria: which side character's adventures would you watch a spin-off movie about?

Eomer, post Return of the King; he would’ve been by Aragorn’s side in quite a few small battles fighting what was left of Sauron’s peoples after the War of the Ring.

💎 the arkenstone: favourite Thorin and/or company moment?

I’ve quite a few, one of them being when Thorin tells Kili that the Sons of Durin never run from a fight, and they touch foreheads. It was a sweet little moment between Thorin and his nephew.

Also, whenever Thorin smiles; he has the sunniest smile ☺️

☕ may I tempt you with a cup of chamomile?: What is your favourite hot beverage?

🌟starlight: you're allowed to live in one of the Elf Kingdoms of Middle Earth, which one are you picking?

Thank you for the ask!! ❤️

☕ may I tempt you with a cup of chamomile?: What is your favourite hot beverage?

I like hot chocolate but not super hot, I prefer it warm! :))

🌟starlight: you're allowed to live in one of the Elf Kingdoms of Middle Earth, which one are you picking?

I would love to live in Rivendell! I think it's beautiful and it gives me the countryside of Elf Kingdoms ❤️ it just reminds me of a extravagant yet homey place!
