Do y'all ever read a fic so good that it makes you want to elevate your own craft and also befriend the writer? It's almost like, "Hi! You write so well that you've inspired me to embark on a creative training arc. Also, can I yell about the character in your dms because you get it?"
I LOVE MY FRIENDS SO MUCH I'M JUST STUPID AND FORGET THAT FEELINGS NEED TO BE EXPRESSED IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE FELT
"NO DWARVES IN MY FOREST đĄ"
"Your wife is hot."
"...THIS ONE DWARF WITH IMPECCABLE TASTE CAN STAY"
Something something about Curufin really resembling FĂ«anor. Sometimes Curufin catches his brothers looking at him weirdly. Like, really weird. Maglor standing in the doorway with tears in his eyes while Curufin plays with Tyelpe, softly singing the same songs FĂ«anor used to hum to them as kids. Or Maedhros going completely silentâteary-eyed silentâafter Curufin delivers a fiery political rant they absolutely donât agree on. Tyelko weirdly saying a soft âthank youâ (with a smile, no less) when Curufin quietly replaces his worn-out arrows with new ones. Even Caranthir showing up at the forge, saying nothing at all, just standing there until Curufin asks whatâs up and all he says is, âI like watching you work.â
It used to weird him out. Now he kinda gets it. They weren't looking at him at these times... they were seeing echoes. He accepts it. His brothers' pain is the same as his.
Gil-Galad: Have you... Slept recently?
Elrond, delirious: Why'd ya ask? Is it the clowns? Can you see them too?
really underrated part of the LotR films is when gollum gets exposition lines. like can you imagine? you're travelling with the most fucked-up evil little murder greyhound creature imaginable and he lives in a cave and doesn't know about potatoes but from time to time you have to ask him about local geopolitics. and he answers you
Peter: Do you care if I take the skin off this Furby?Â
Peter: I want to make him a God. Once he is free of his sinful flesh, he can begin a path towards enlightenment. He will take care of Us.Â
Peter: I also want to softhack his circuits.Â
Tony: I literally could not care less but never say anything as frightening as that ever again.
"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.
Aragorn: *Listening to the ground* Yes! That way!
Legolas: The wind whispers and the leaves tell me that our hunt is near.
Gimli: I have weird friends, but they're my friends and I wouldn't change them for the world.
