Lord of the Rings BTS, Pt. 2

[venomdoves]

what if you were desperately vulnerable to the call of the ring. what if you had spent your entire life watching your friends and peers being murdered by the dark forces of mordor and then placed in front of you is the only weapon that could possibly vanquish the monster that’s murdered scores of your friends and you just have to not take it. you have to commit yourself to destroying it. and you held out for months until it broke your will as it would have all in the fellowship in the end but there’s a particular shame in being the first. and then you’re so overcome with guilt for what you’ve done and compassion for your friends and a reckless primal need to regain your honor that you run into a suicide charge against an army you have no hope of defeating and you die like all your friends did before you and the last thing you see as the world slips away is the companions you gave your life for being hauled away to certain death. and they look to your coming from the white tower, your people. but you will not return.

[frodo-in-a-fez]

plenty of talk about “don’t go where i can’t follow” but not enough talk about sam leaving his sword and the phial of galadriel by his side while begging frodo to understand that he has to go on. not enough talk about him contemplating hunting down gollum and killing him, but realizing it wouldn’t be worth it because it wouldn’t bring frodo back, and he would rather be dead alongside him — even though “that too would be a lonely journey.” not enough talk about sam kissing frodo’s forehead as he takes the ring from his neck, and frodo not responding being what truly convinces sam he’s dead. not enough talk about sam promising that if he doesn’t die in mordor, he’ll come back to frodo’s body, and “he’ll not leave you again.” not enough talk about the steps away from cirith ungol being “the heaviest and most reluctant” sam had ever taken.

Another hilarious thing I feel we should talk about more is the fact that *film* Aragorn and Arwen break up right before Aragorn leaves Rivendell……. meaning that film!Aragorn spends most of the quest in an “oh my god my relationship of 50 years just ended what do I even do with myself????” depression haze. 

It explains so much…..

Like. Externally Aragorn is on an epic quest to save Middle Earth, internally he’s crying on the couch in his sweatpants eating a tub of the Middle-Earth equivalent of Ben and Jerry’s

[overthinkinglotr]

Legolas: Aragorn?

Aragorn: Arwen used to call me Aragorn…..

Legolas: Because it’s your fucking name

[overthinkinglotr]

To be clear I actually love the film’s version of Aragorn/Arwen’s relationship, there’s a lot of Dramatic Potential/ angsty meta you could write on it, but–.

BUT

It’s also like– you think Aragorn has to put up with Legolas and Gimli’s annoying romance antics? Legolas and Gimli have to deal with Aragorn spending half the quest staring wistfully into the distance and sighing dramatically about What Can Never Be™…with how often he sings the Lay of Luthien,  basically the Middle Earth equivalent of Adele’s Someone Like You….

[overthinkinglotr]

Gimli: You haven’t washed your hair in MONTHS. We’re staging an intervention.

Aragorn (lying flat on the ground with his face in the dirt): aweralwkerjwae

Legolas: You’re only 87– you’ve got your whole life ahead of you. You can find love a second time!

Aragorn: I did. Boromir died.

Legolas: Maybe three is your lucky number!

#for me film Legolas’ main character trait#is that he’s incapable of reading the room (tags via @overthinkinglotr)

[sweetiepie08]

Aragorn, any time he gets a moment to himself during the quest:

[starr-bryte]

Gimli: This lovely Rhohirrim woman is clearly into you. She’s a fighter. You’re a fighter. She loves horses. You love horses (also you smell like one). Give her a chance!

Aragorn: *flashbacks to him and Arwen making out in Imladris while the elvish version of “when somebody loved me” plays in the background.

[ruffboi-mags]

He literally did this. (and then imagined Arwen kissing him before getting woken up by his horse)

[trickster-archangel]

At least he managed to wash himself AND his hair

I bet after Aragorn became king he would continue to be Just Some Chill As Fuck Dude. You go to the market and there’s the king of Gondor. Buying turnips.

[tomorrowillbeyou]

nice outfit dude LOL. legolas called. apparently they're taking the hobbits somewhere really crazy

[frodo-baggins]

“And here he was, a little halfling from the Shire, a simple hobbit of the quiet countryside, expected to find a way where the great ones could not go, or dared not go. It was an evil fate.”

MIDDLE-EARTH + Scenery [Part XX] THE HOBBIT/THE LORD OF THE RINGS

[imsoconfused16-deactivated20230]

Hobbit AU where everything is exactly the same except that Bilbo wears the same outfit and radiates the same disaster gay energy as he did in the USSR in 1982.
