Hello, happy holidays! top 5 scenes from an unexpected journey and top 5 scenes from the fellowship of the ring

Happy holidays you too and thanks for the ask <3

Damn the hard one huh? But I really enjoy them so here they go!

An Unexpected Journey

The company's arrival: From the moment Gandalf finds Bilbo to Thorin singing Misty Mountains, you can't stop smiling! It's so enjoyable and fun and exciting, especially seeing this cultural clash between hobbit and dwarves! And honestly, I like the changes from the book, although book's is more hilarious, exactly because we see more realistically the characters and really get the first taste of their dynamics and different characters!

Riddles in the dark: The movie nailed this scene! It was creepy and fun and full of suspense as it should! Bilbo is in this terrifying situation and shows a side of his that he never knew he had and all that to survive! And the moment he spares Gollum's life? Enormously important for him and his humanity but also for the eventual destruction of the ring!

Bilbo's speech: I put it as a bagginshield moment but come on! It is moving and of great importance! Bilbo convinces the company that he really is here to stay and help them simply because they deserve a home! And all the dwarves are so moved because no outsider ever showed such empathy for them and this gives them the courage to carry on!

Bilbo saving Thorin from Azog: A small hobbit yeets himself to a huge orc to not touch the fallen dwarf to who has no obligation, what is not to love?! Seriously he didn't have to do that, he didn't have to risk his life but he did, and with acts showed how far he's willing to go for them! Plus Azog's face is everything!

The hug: I'm basic, I see two guys hug, I fall in love! Jokes aside, this is the moment where Bilbo and Thorin make a fresh start, open up and are willing to try to be better! Two lonely, stubborn in their way and proud men admit their faults and want to form a connection! And that makes me too sentimental!

The Fellowship Of The Ring

Bilbo's birthday party: I love this part because not only we see what happened to Bilbo after all these years but most importantly who is really Frodo! And Frodo is a young man, dreaming of adventures but loving his home, having fun and dancing but also a gentle and kind person! Everytime I see how happy he was I wanna cry!

The council: All the important people are here and discussing seriously about the ring, therefore, we get to know more about the relationships between races and the world in general and while all the big folk is yelling a hobbit offers to be the one who will carry the ring like it's nothing! They're all moved and don't dare to be proud or scared anymore and thus the fellowship is formed, from people truly willing to do what it must be done! A bit naive maybe but for sure honest!

Frodo's and Bilbo's scene: I know Rivendell again but damn these scenes are so SO moving, especially after watching The Hobbit trilogy! You know why Bilbo feels that way and what it means for him to give his mithril shirt and Sting and of course the burden of the Ring to his beloved nephew. Yep, pain.

Moria: of course all the arc here is amazing but I'm specifically talking about the moment they find Balin's tomb and Ori's skeleton and GOD THE PAIN IS REAL HERE (poor Gimli) and the words Gandalf offers to a scared and lost Frodo! That no matter the burden or the dark situation we're to deal with, we have no other choice than move on and maybe sounds simple but it's far from that!

Sam follows Frodo: Frankly, the finale is amazing, from Boromir's fall to the Ring and his immediate regret to the Three Hunters determined to save Merry and Pippin! Merry and Pippin being willing to be bait for the orcs so Frodo can slip away, Aragorn saying to Frodo that he would follow him till the end but lets him do what he must, Boromir's sacrifice to save Merry and Pippin and his last words to Aragorn! All of these are amazing and painful! But to the top I'd put Sam denying to let Frodo go alone and almost dying if Frodo didn't catch him! The one is willing to give everything and the other willing to accept help! They know very well that they may never return but still clench to each other and keep moving towards their goal, because simply it must be done!

Some Old & Rare Material from the Golden Age of Sherlockian Scholarship

'Well, Watson, what make you of that?' asked Holmes, with the air of the pathologist who presents a rare specimen. (CREE)

watsoniana replied to your post “The mystery of the vanished fanfic...”

Maybe if you gave details someone could help?

True...I tried it before and didn’t have any luck but maybe. It’s kind of bits and pieces I remember and not all in the righ order so it might be a bit of a mess, haha. Anyhow, I’ll give it a go! :)

So the things I remember is that Jamie Moriarty (Jim’s younger sister) is heavily featured in this fic, she’s one of the main carachters. She blows up some big mansion somewhere and is presumed dead by everyone, even Sherlock and John. She’s not though, just going underground, hiding out and being the spider in the web so to speak. 

At one time there are bombs placed on a rooftop set to a timer and somehow the Yard is foreced to handle it. Greg manages to stop the building from being blown up but is hit by some bomb up there anyway and is quite badly ingured. He and Mycroft is a thing by the way.

Throughout the story you get to learn about Jim’s and Jamie’s bad childhood which made them into the people they are today. They had a stepdad who wasn’t very nice...locked them in their room for long periods of time, molested Jamie (it could have been both of them...I don’t remember) and was just being a jerk. They managed to kill him, with his neck tie I believe, and then escape from their home.

The Moriarty’s childhood home/mansion is where Jamie runs to and sets up base. Johnlock is a thing and Mary somehow gets involved with Jamie in all kinds of ways after being her prisoner for some time ;) 

I remember how John and Sherlock are running through underground tunnels and being chased. It’s a very close call on being shot but Mary somehow helps them out and leads them right to where the Yard is waiting to collect them.

I also remeber a scene where Jamie’s on a rooftop being her sniper self. She’s a crackshot and a fierce fighter. Her goons have a lot of respect for her.

I think the next thing I remember is from the last parts I read...John and Sherlock is on a case, Things goes down and outside the house all hell breaks loose, shots are fired, lots of casualties, Jamie walks by (hides in broad day light) and gets a hit on John who falls to the ground. Sherlock doesn’t see it because he is ducking for cover. When everything calms down he sees John still on the ground and panics. He runs to him, someone (Sherlock or Lestrade) calls Mycroft and Mycroft comes to pick Sherlock up. John goes to hospital and recovers. Sherlock is described very well in this situation.

They (Mystarde and Johnlok) all goes to a house in the country to wait things out and to “hide away” for a while. Jamie of course finds them and goes into sniper mode in the woods close to the house. I don’t remember if she actually shoots Mycroft or if she’s just aiming at him though...

I guess that’s about it of the things I remember, haha. But as I said, It’s not in any kind of order, it’s just written down the way it popped up in my head while writing :) And if anyone knows which fic this might be I will be your friend forever! <3 

(sorry for writing misstakes ^^)
