Frodo Will Forever Remain Tragic To Me. How Does It Feel To Sacrifice Everything To Save Your Home, Only

Hear me out

Imagine if the reason that it took Bilbo sixty years to be badly effected by the Ring, was because it wasn’t Saurons voice speaking to him. Or the voice of the ring or whatever.

Imagine it was Thorin’s voice.

He spent all that time, not separating himself from it but also not doing anything evil or bad was because he was just grateful to hear Thorin’s voice again, no matter what it said to him, it was his voice.

And when he was separated from it, he was desperate and sad, but he could pull himself back because he knew the ring wasn’t him, he was dead.

Thoughts…

Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says “Yeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?”

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, “You what now?”

“Yeah, killed it. Had to save Frodo”

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.

I get the feeling that Bofur doesn’t like Thorin very much

First, on the carrock, Bofur rolls his eyes at Bilbo and Thorin’s hug. Probably because Thorin made it seem like he was berating Bilbo again and then decided to suddenly be nice and act like he didn’t pretend Bilbo was literally the worst person in the world.

Then, after the stone giants, he gives Thorin the fattest side eye as he’s saying Bilbo should’ve never gone on the journey after he literally almost fell to his death

Then, in the goblin caves, gives a little bit of stink eye to Thorin after he tells him to take first watch

Then, in the elf cellar, is literally the only one who doesn’t move at Thorin’s instruction and just stands there staring at him (Trust me, you can’t see it but he’s giving him stank eye here too okay)

Then, more stank eye on the boat

Then, ramparts…

I just don’t think Bofur likes the way Thorin treats Bilbo

When people start following me I panic because I’m just here reposting stuff that I find funky or that I can use for story inspo and I want to get my own creations out too 😫

Do you ever think of the fact that Gimli knew Ori well enough to be able to recognise his handwriting after years of not seeing him?

Do you think about one night, Ori, Fili, Kili and Gimli are out having drinks or something before they leave to join the Company, joking and promising Gimli that they’d be back soon to tell him all about it, how they couldn’t wait to see him again but in Erebor.

Do you think that Ori and Gimli sat together, alone. The Princes voices no longer filling the silence.

Then Gimli sat alone.

I’m gonna draw this 🤫🧏‍♀️

"why did the ring mostly affect frodo and not bilbo who had it for a gazillion years" objectively has a textual answer but i think the best answer is that sauron just likes bilbo more than frodo

bilbo: *uses the ring to hide from his relatives*

sauron, remembering almaren: yknow. real.
