I think they need to invent a brand new word for that drop kick to the stomach realization when it sinks in that frodo is leaving for the undying lands

Thorin and Bilbo may be gayer in the movie than the book but Sam and Frodo are so much gayer in the book than the movie

i can’t listen to “would that i” by hozier without thinking of sam and frodo it makes me feel sick

Sam’s Verse:

With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet

Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat

Settle soft and as pure as snow

I fell in love with the fire long ago

Frodo’s Verse:

With each love I cut loose, I was never the same

Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame

I was fixed on your hand of gold

Laying waste to my lovin' long ago

LIKE FUCK OFF?? ITS SO THEM AND ITS DEVASTATING??

got this from an edit of them which made me sad

The line of Durin.

It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
