This post is kinda like my other one but a bit better lmao. I might make variations of this with other pieces of media but it depends onnn how well this is received
It took the Ring two seconds to make both Isildur and Gollum claim it as their own.
It didn’t take much longer for it to make Bilbo do the same, as he kept it as the key “trick up his sleeve” during the Quest for Erebor and never considered harming it.
But in 17 full years and 6 months, it couldn’t make Frodo claim it. It took being inside Mt Doom, the place where its power was absolute and drowned out all othere, to get Frodo to claim it.
Inside Mt. Doom, no bearer can resist the Ring. They will inevitably claim it there. But literally ALL of the other Ring-bearers who ever claimed it did so outside of Mt. Doom.
The Ring never needed to apply its utmost, Cracks-of-Doom-level pressure to make anyone claim it. Frodo was the only one who resisted it so long and so well that it had to force itself upon him and break him just to get him to regard it as his own.
Frodo Baggins is the strongest mortal in the Third Age of Middle-Earth and no, I am not accepting questions at this time.
nightmare time is so funny to me. it’s required viewing if you want the full emotional payoff of npmd. hidgens fakes a scientific discovery and commits murder to fund workin’ boys. wiggly is one of five eldritch gods with separate cults around hatchetfield. virginity rocks. tgwdlm emma and paul might be an android and a clone respectively. ted spankoffski is the homeless guy. hatchetfield’s upper crust gamble on an underground child fighting ring. emma’s magic weed gives nighthawks psychic powers. there’s an immortal witch who made a deal with the lords in black to save the children of hatchetfield from monsters, she fakes a new identity every fifteen years. dylan saunders fucks a car—
Before voting, spin the wheel and get a Lord of the Rings character.
Not sure who your character is? You can look them up on this Tolkien Gateway character list, or just vote based on vibes.
For the purposes of the game, assume your vote is not "LaCE compliant." (That is, fucking an elf does not instantly mean marriage or death for that elf.)
An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked “Philippines 1942”. Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)
