what I absolutely love about The Hobbit (and later in Fellowship of the Ring) is that Bilbo’s adventure was never a one-and-done thing. He didn’t just go out, experience something grand, and come home and never shut up about it — he joined a family

in Fellowship, we learn that the dwarves visit Bilbo all the time and he stays in contact with Laketown and Bifur. They come to his party and help set up and help him pack to leave. He explicitly says he’s excited to be adventuring again “with dwarves,” visits Erebor again, travels with Gloin, and Gimli’s excited to show Frodo ancient dwarvish places

It’s giving Bilbo went to Pride in San Francisco one time and found his community for life

Let's talk about how everyone else in the fellowship had died or sailed and it was just the two left- the elf and the dwarf, and no one knows who brought it up first, the possibility of the impossible, but they knew together that they had to try, because there had been too much death and too much parting and they just couldn't handle letting go of each other, not without one last adventure. They refused to be separated until it was no longer in their hands; until the gods themselves would rip the pair apart through the inevitable curse of mortality, but not a second sooner. Idk man...

I know I've said it before but every rewatch I do cements this thought further - elijah wood's performance in LOTR is absolutely insane, they really had a character whose name means "wise by experience", hired an 18-year-old to do it, and he delivered so much that not only is it a beautiful and moving role on its own, it's a performance equal to those of the absolute powerhouses he played side by side with like ian holm and ian mckellen. to name just a few

Faramir and Eowyn, two damaged souls that found each other ♥ they are too cute for words (or at least tolkien is much better at words than i will ever be)

“And so they stood on the walls of the City of Gondor, and a great wind rose and blew, and their hair, raven and golden, streamed out mingling in the air.”

(if you want a sketch of another couple, feel free to ask :D)

i just keep thinking about louis and all of his writing about grief in his music. how he lost the mother who was his best friend and then just over a year later one of his little sisters, and now he's losing someone else who meant so so much to him - who was at one point or several points of his life his best friend. he's lost so much and now he's losing liam too. it just feels so surreal. none of this feels like it's real.

[leinehilloftheshire]

liam. oh liam. god. he was the one i worried so much about ever since the band. like, it used to be zayn but when zayn left and grew i thought "ok, he's going to be ok" because you could see after a while that the band was not good for zayn. you could see it. but liam, god. he carried so much weight, all the time. from the band all the way to the present, he was the guy who was supposed to be put together. he was "daddy direction" he was. yeah. he was that guy. and i know it weighed on him. i KNOW it did. the drinking and the fucking spiraling he went through after the band, it was all connected. and i'm not. defending his choices, i'm not. but i'm grieving him and i'm aching for him, and. i just wanted him to be okay. i really really thought that he would be okay. and he's not. and i'm. fucking heartbroken about it.

[leinehilloftheshire]

zayn saved the band by leaving.

let's be honest. he took the hit when he left. he lost so many of his fans then. but you know what he did?

he showed the boys that there was life after one direction.

he showed them that the hell they were enduring was escapable. that they could make it out and still sing and write songs and be happy.

if they'd really been as happy as they seemed to us, they would've come back after the hiatus. they promised us 18 months. its been 9 years.

im sure they loved us with all their hearts. that they enjoyed their time together as a band, as brothers. however, they were exploited and taken advantage of every step of the way.

now, liam's passing is the fucking culmination of the hell they endured. you can't argue with me that the liam of 2011 was SO SO FULL OF LIFE. he had so much promise. you just knew this boy was gonna go places.

but somehow, along the way, his light dimmed. that wasn't the liam we knew. we all subconsiously could see it. that liam hurt so much that he hurt a lot of people. that liam could've done better. that liam should've been given the chance to make amends.

but the young boy that was so full of life, he didnt deserve any of this. he deserved to have been kept safe and away from the shit that could destroy him.

the boys should have been protected and maybe, just maybe, we wouldn't have to endure this devastating loss. maybe, just maybe, liam would still be alive.

i'd take an unending hiatus over this loss any day.
