#frodo my beloved

[curledupinmyarmchair]

I’m glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee. Here at the end of all things.

Painting me did last year

Have said it before and will say it again: If Frodo had actually been able to throw the Ring into the Fire by himself, that would’ve meant he was some kind of Superman. The point of Frodo is he’s NOT Superman. He’s a regular ordinary guy who volunteers to do the impossible.

First illustration of 2024, and I wanted to start with my favorites hobbits. I’m wishing you the best for 2024 and that you find your Samwise Gamgee to your Frodo ✨

Do you ever think about the fact that he probably didn’t even know who he was anymore here. He didn’t remember the Shire and the only thing he saw was darkness. I still can’t believe he managed to survive. There is so much strength in him and he is the purest soul. He is so little but so big. God I love him so much.

Frodo and the ring.

“There is no real going back. Though I may come to the Shire, it will not seem the same; for I shall not be the same. I am wounded with knife, sting, and tooth, and a long burden. Where shall I find rest?”

a lazy evening gossiping after (only sam’s) hard day of work (frodo being an heir twice over (distantly related to the thain and bilbo baggins) and having very little to do but write and laze about)

To those who are feeling lonely or sad or just happened to come upon this post today, here's a friendly reminder that this adorable picture exists

Your welcome 🤗

But also remember that God loves you and you are important to Him if no one else (you think). He created you and you have a purpose. He wants you to know Him like he knows you! May he bless you!

I've been wanting to do a LOTR screencap redraw of my favorite scenes for so longgg and I finally started!! ✨

I don't feel I'm capturing him that well tbh but I'm still pretty dang happy with it so far.

It's pretty daunting to tackle LOTR fanarts, I consider all the characters so pretty and I love them all so much I'm just scared of not doing them justice 😩😩😩

(Yes, this is my 1000th defense of Frodo and I don’t care. I will defend him forever.)

Let’s just appreciate for a sec how the last page of The Silmarillion tells it like it is: it says Frodo “into the Fire in which it was first wrought cast the Great Ring of Power.”

Yes, of course it’s summarizing and not giving the details. But it tells the truth!

Look at the wording. It says it was Frodo who cast the Ring into the Fire. Who sent it into the Fire. Who placed it on the path that led to the Fire.

Did Frodo release the Ring directly from his own fingers into the Fire? No. The Ring went into the Fire when Gollum fell with it.

But does the Silmarillion say “from his fingers the Ring fell” into the Fire? No.

It says that Frodo “cast” it into the Fire.

And think about it.

Who chose to bear the burden of the Ring? Frodo.

Who carried the Ring all the way into Mordor, resisting it the entire time? Frodo.

Who gave Gollum the kindness and pity that ensured he lived? Frodo.

Who made a fool out of Sauron by running directly into the Cracks of Doom and proving wrong Sauron’s belief that the entrance did not need a locked door because nobody would ever want to destroy the Ring? Frodo.

Who was the person who actually entered the Cracks of Doom with the intent of destroying it and made Gollum take the bait? Frodo.

Who led the Ring and the reckless and impulsive Gollum onto the ledge directly above the Fire, a place Gollum never would have gone in a million years otherwise? Frodo.

So when all is said and done, was it Frodo who “cast” the Ring into the Fire?

YES.

Frodo Baggins is a hero, my friends. He failed in one action only. In his overall goal, he succeeded spectacularly. And even The Silmarillion itself admits it. So everyone who has ever experienced LOTR should admit it, too.

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🥰

“What are we holding onto, Sam?”

“That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.”
