I am literally able to cry after the fifth time I watch LOTR or TH just for the sweetness and courage of hobbits especially of Frodo and Bilbo. I cry more for scenes like Frodo being the only one to offer to take The Ring to Mordor during the Council of Elrond or like Bilbo doing everything to help the company and risks his life to do this than for the actual sad and emotional scenes.

Yesterday I was watching the scene between Balin and Bilbo: “It never ceases to surprise me” “what?” “The courage of Hobbits” my eyes were full of tears.

I hate this scene but, oh god he is so beautiful

Ehy @hersignfortold thank you for making me almost cry with this thing of Sam being torn into two because Frodo is not with him anymore and probably not managing to feel complete anymore.

Omg I have never thought about it! That’s true! Also Gollum was a hobbit after all so like Frodo and Sam he doesn’t want power. Hobbits are the only creatures that don’t desire power. This is such a beautiful message of peace and I love it.

One of the most fascinating details about Gollum for me is that even though it is said that the Ring warps its user’s intentions and makes them commit acts of evil, Gollum never once uses the Ring for any power-seeking purposes. He doesn’t try to assemble an army or rule over anyone. He doesn’t try to conquer lands or replace Sauron. He never uses it with the intent of dominating others. All he ever wants to do with it is hold it, look at it, sometimes wear it, and keep it with him in dark little caves where he can eat anything edible he can find. It’s even mentioned somewhere that the Ring’s temptation in his mind is merely visions of him having enough fish to keep him fed forever. But he never tries to use the Ring’s power to actually become powerful…the very thing that Gandalf and Galadriel were afraid they would do if they had the Ring. I think that goes to show how Gollum still was shaped by his hobbit nature; it’s just an inherent trait for hobbits to be completely uninterested in any kind of absolute power or dominion of others.

If you are living right now in 2023 and are still a big fan of LOTR please reblog bro where are my fellow Tolkienites (Tolkieneers?)

so much hope can fit inside one little person

So today I read a comment on instagram in which somebody said that everything in LOTR could have been done also without Frodo and that he was useless. I wanted to answer “fuck u” but I don’t want to spread hate and so I prefer answering gently to all those who share the same opinion about this. Clearly they haven’t read the books and if they watched the movies they did it superficially. Those who are really passionate about this story can’t hate Frodo. He may not be your favorite character but you can’t really dislike him if you understood the meaning of movies/books. Whether you want it or not Frodo destroyed himself to save Middle Earth this is why I get so angry when people say he’s useless in the story.

THEY ARE SOOOO TOUCH-STARVED (even more in the books)

Love catching this little moments of my two little hobbits holding each other in moments of fear

Yes! You’re totally right! In fact, unlike many others, I don’t blame him for leaving the Shire. Fortunately Sam always stayed by his side and indeed they eventually reunited in the Undying Lands🥰

As a LOTR fan I’m so tired of reading things such as: “What would Frodo have done without Aragorn or without Sam and so on for other characters?”. But do you ever wonder what all the other characters would have done without Frodo? He was the only one who had the courage to carry the Ring. In general I saw really few people who just give credit to what Frodo did. All the members of the company are important in the story and they should all be appreciated for what they have done without always making comparisons. I don’t know if I’m the only one who thinks this. Lemme know🥰

I love how Frodo and Sam’s relationship builds from the start. Sam has a great admiration towards Frodo and Frodo has great sense of affection and protection towards Sam.

Yes also protection: in the books from the start Frodo asks Sam if he still wants to come with him, telling him it’s very dangerous and Sam practically says he would do anything for him. But also when they are in the Tower of Cirith Ungol and Frodo refuses to share the Ring with Sam not because he wants the Ring all for himself but because “it will destroy you Sam”.

Also Frodo would do anything for Sam. They would literally die for each other.

[mynameisaury]

omg!!my sweethearts. Sam has such a great ammiration toward Frodo but also Frodo has it toward Sam.

Sam holding the belief that Frodo was the "wisest person in the world". Like you literally know Gandalf and you're just like "nah, Mr. Frodo is wiser. What a goddamn simp, I love him so much.

[mynameisaury]

Can we appreciate Frodo in this scene and his strength in resisting the Ring’s power?

Boromir literally wants to take the Ring from him and Frodo’s reaction is just to walk away.

Remember Sméagol and Deagol? When Sméagol wanted to take the Ring from Deagol, Deagol’s reaction was to try to kill him.

Just to underline the differences
