Hi I haven't been on here in [checks notes] a while, but this summer I'm going to meet Sean Astin aka Samwise Gamgee and this is such a wild opportunity that I never even thought to ever hope for and I need to figure out how not to malfunction in the process !!!

Where does Pippin (in the movies) think apples come from? The first time he’s weird about apples it’s after the second breakfast scene where Aragorn throws an apple at him. Instead of looking towards the direction the apple was thrown from he looks straight up? Which is understandable if he’s not paying attention I guess, but then he does the same thing after the battle of Isengard. He’s standing in water, the apple is floating at his side and his first reaction is to look straight up

Anyways, conclusion: Pippin does not know where apples come from and has assumed it’s the sky

“I learned that he had never married. I thought that odd though I guessed why it was and the reason that I guessed was not that most of the Hobbits gave me - that he had early been left very well off and his own master. No, I guessed that he wanted to remain ‘unattached’ for some reason deep down which he did not understand himself - or would not acknowledge, for it alarmed him.”

I don't particularly care about the lotr films however. I just saw a picture of arwen and aragorn edited so she was at least a head taller than him and we were robbed of that I think

Growing up is actually just enjoying the exact same things you enjoyed at 14 years old, but in a more gay way

I thought maybe we could use some words from Samwise the Brave today.

thinking about how thorin’s gaze softened every time he looked at bilbo, he was so in love with him that even when he was in his madness, bilbo was able to break through and make him genuinely smile.

The movies tried very hard to make Thorin likable in a smoldering and regal sort of way but they couldn’t do much about the fact that the very plot of the Hobbit hinges on a series of incidents where he loses and gets tossed around and otherwise embarrasses himself so the result is a very handsome guy consistently fucking up and getting humbled. Doomed to girlfailure by the narrative.
