LOTR WEEK - DAY 07 - HOBBIT DAY

The entire Tolkien Legendarium, except it's just Monopoly.

It would be cool if Gollum were the size of a man. How terrifying would it be to see him standing at full height and towering over Frodo and Sam? Knowing he could overpower both of them, but because of the torment of the ring, he grovels at their feet, but they know if he has a moment of clarity, he could take the ring from them. Poor Bilbo coming across this giant, sickly, pale creature all by himself in the caves, having to answer riddles while he watches this giant creature lick its lips and think about eating his flesh.

Imagine Gollum's looming figure staring down at them, his green gleaming eyes and spine protruding from his skin as he lowered himself to be smaller than the hobbits. With his hands bigger than their chests, he tries to make himself small and unthreatening. Despite his height, he still manages to be quiet, stealthy, and able to disappear without the others knowing where he's gone or coming back.

It would be like a horror movie, waiting for him to sneak up behind Sam or Frodo to steal the ring and take their lives.

September 22nd, 2024 | Rereading the Lord of the Rings (9/?)

Spent the weekend in Middle Earth! I had a Hobbit movies marathon and made banana bread, quiche, and crepes! I spent my Sunday reading and ate quite a few leftover crepes 👀

I'm more than halfway through The Return of the King now, I find it's the hardest to get into somehow? I reached the last book and I love reading from Sam's point of view. Rewatching the Hobbit movies with my boyfriend, who recently reread the book, we ended up geeking about the Appendices and chronology and I'm very excited to read them. I might be staying in Middle Earth a while longer, I'm considering rereading The Hobbit and, well, the Silmarillion? Ah.

I never want to hear the sound that Éomer made when he found Éwoyn ever again, oh my god.

"GROND THEY NAMED IT, IN MEMORY OF THE HAMMER OF THE UNDERWORLD OF OLD."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on an illustration depicting Sauron's host during the Siege of Gondor, bringing up the hundred-foot long battering ram, Grond, to smash the Great Gate of Minas Tirith and burn the White City. March 3019 of the Third Age.

"Great engines crawled across the field; and in the midst was a huge ram, great as a forest-tree a hundred feet in length, swinging on mighty chains. Long had it been forging in the dark smithies of Mordor, and its hideous head, founded of black steel, was shaped in the likeness of a ravening wolf; on it spells of ruin lay. Grond they named it, in memory of the Hammer of the Underworld of old. Great beasts drew it, orcs surrounded it, and behind walked mountain-trolls to wield it."

-- "The Siege of Gondor," Book IV of "THE LORD OF THE RINGS: The Return of the King," written by J.R.R. Tolkien.

An underrated performance in LOTR is John Noble. That man is in a thirteen-hour movie for all of 10 minutes and completely steals the Minas Tirith storyline

I like that the two most awarded films ever (as of this posting) are both solidly in the realm of speculative fiction

coming from someone who lives amongst people who just see spec fic as childish, brainless entertainment when in reality, just writing the foundation to this kind of stories takes a lot of brain

it amazes me that in this millennium the world is filled with more people who see so much sense and joy in the fantastic instead of just dismiss it as expensive folly

I'm watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and it still amazes me that I genuinely believed actors were doing their own stunts. As a teenager.

Legolas saying ‘this city needs more trees’ is actually so valid. Not only from an environmental and social well-being point of view, but Gondor has one very important tree with very few fellows and therefore restricted access to nutrients, so the extended mycorrhizal network more trees would provide actively enhances the welfare of the white tree and symbolically the spirit of the nation. In this essay I will
