hi people. should you happen to see these words on your dash, it means my queued posts have finally exhausted. i don't think anybody would care about this, but i have decided to rest @an-honest-fool, at least temporarily. this decision comes from my loss of interest in running a hobbit-dedicated blog, a loss which i actually have anticipated since the first day i started it, because knowing myself, my hyperfixations never last for too long.

i just want to thank all of you who have followed this blog, liked and reblogged its posts, or liked and reblogged the posts that its owner had liked and reblogged. i feel so lucky to be among a community that is so talented, so weird, so unhingedly dedicated and, at the same time, so kind and supportive of each other. i have certainly had a good time on tumblr, and even if that time has only been spent on hyperfixating on weird stuffs, i'm glad i was given the chance to be part of this experience.

who knows? maybe tomorrow i will decide that i want to run a lotr blog again. maybe i will never come back to this blog in the future. maybe i will wake up one day and decide that i hate hobbits. my life has been woven out of so much uncertainty and regret that at this point i don't think i can ever be surprised about anything anymore (even in small matters like liking hobbits). but anyway i'll leave this blog here, as a memorial (sort of) of the precious time i have spent among you.

love you. stay well. stay safe.

listen i really love elijah as frodo (except maybe the ring-asms) and as i stated before the way he portrayed him pre-quest especially breaks my heart in tiny pieces bc he was such….a carefree young lad…

lotr/the hobbit meme - 3/3 favorite characters -> Pippin Took

‘We must stop him,’ said Pippin. ‘And that is what he is worrying about, I am sure. He knows we shan’t agree to his going east. And he doesn’t like to ask anyone to go with him, poor old fellow. Imagine it: going off to Mordor alone!’ Pippin shuddered. ‘But the dear silly old hobbit, he ought to know that he hasn’t got to ask. He ought to know that if we can’t stop him, we shan’t leave him.’

I think Van Gogh might be my favorite painter. (This is probably very evident by the posts on this blog.)

Perhaps not. I’ve thought of a better use for you.

Frodo: No one really loves me...

Sam: Are you sure?

Frodo: Yeah.

Sam, aggressively pointing at himself: ARE YOU REALLY FUCKING SURE ABOUT THAT?!

Bless Samwise Gamgee’s queer little hobbit heart.

“And so Gollum found them hours later, when he returned […]. Sam sat propped against the stone, his head drooping sideways and his breathing heavy. In his lap lay Frodo’s head, drowned deep in sleep […]. Peace was in both their faces.” - Tolkien, The Two Towers

#Frodo and #Samwise in Shelob’s lair.  "They struggled on, still hand in hand.“ (The Two Towers, #TheLordoftheRings, J.R.R. Tolkien) 

"But Shelob was not as dragons are, no softer spot had she …” (J.R.R. Tolkien, #TheLordoftheRings, The Two Towers, “The  Choices of Master Samwise”).

“All right, Sam,” said Frodo. “Lead me!  As long as you’ve got any hope  left. Mine is gone.” (Tolkien, #TheLordoftheRings, The Return of the King)

“To Sam’s surprise he felt tired but lighter, and his head seemed clear again. No more debates disturbed his mind. He knew all the arguments of despair and would not listen to them. His will was set, and only death would break it.” (#Tolkien, #LordoftheRings)

“Master!” cried Sam. And Frodo stirred and spoke with a clear voice, indeed with a voice clearer and more powerful than Sam had ever heard him use, and it rose above the throb and turmoil of Mount Doom, ringing in the roof and walls.

- #Tolkien, #LordoftheRings, #ReturnoftheKing

“Do not be too sad, Sam,” said Frodo. “You cannot be always torn in two.  You will have to be one and whole, for many years.  You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do.” (J.R.R. #Tolkien, #LordoftheRings, The Return of the King)

The Greathearts of the Shire:  Sam & Frodo, Pippin & Merry!

Sketchbooking:  working out how I want to draw the Fellowship of the Ring.

When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.

“Frodo was the only one present who had said nothing.” -J.R.R. #Tolkien, #TheFellowshipoftheRing (#TheLordoftheRings), Ch. 1

“I am not trying to rob you, but to help you,” Gandalf answered.  "I wish you would trust me, as you used.“  He turned away, and the shadow passed.  He seemed to dwindle again to an old grey man, bent and troubled. - J.R.R. #Tolkien, #TheFellowshipoftheRing, Chapter 1

Bilbo looked up, sniffing the air.  "What fun!  This is what I have really been longing for, for years!  Good-bye!” he said, looking at his old home and bowing to the door.  "Good-bye, Gandalf!“

Frodo began to say to himself: "Perhaps I shall cross the River myself one day.” To which the other half of his mind always replied: “Not yet.” - J.R.R. #Tolkien, #TheFellowshipoftheRing, Chapter 2: The Shadow of the Past

Gandalf was smoking now in silence, for Frodo was sitting still, deep in thought. Even in the light of morning he felt the dark shadow of the tidings that Gandalf had brought. - J.R.R. #Tolkien, #TheFellowshipoftheRing Ch. 2: The Shadow of the Past

Frodo sat silent and motionless.  Fear seemed to stretch out a vast hand, like a dark cloud rising in the East and looming up to engulf him.  "This ring!“ he stammered. - J.R.R. #Tolkien, #TheFellowshipoftheRing Chapter 2: The Shadow of the Past

I love when Sam angrily defends Frodo because he misinterpreted the entire situation :’)
