(I amar prestar aen.)
The world is changed.
(Han matho ne nen.)
I feel it in the water.
(Han mathon ned cae.)
I feel it in the earth.
(A han noston ned gwilith.)
I smell it in the air.
Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Boops. Three were given to the Content Creators, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Content Lovers, great readers and enjoyers of the works of the Content Creators. And nine, nine Boops were gifted to the race of General People, who above all else desire booping power. For within these Boops was bound the strength and the will to boop each race.
But they were all of them deceived, for another Boop was made. Deep in the land of Tumblr, in the Fires of Mount Chaos, the Dark Rulers Tumblr Staff forged a master Boop, and into this Super Boop they poured their chaos, their weirdness and will to prank all of Tumblr. One Super Boop to rule them all. One by one, the not so free lands of Tumblr fell to the power of the Super Boop, but there were some who resisted and booped others.
Three Boops for the Content Creators under the sky, Seven for the Content Lovers in their halls of stone, Nine for General People doomed to be booped, One for the Dark Rulers Tumblr Staff on their dark thrones. In the Land of Tumblr where the Shadows lie. One Super Boop to rule them all, One Super Boop to find them, One Super Boop to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In the Land of Tumblr where the Chaos lies.

Discord Discussion Highlights: Lobelia
meg is me:
Something about how lotr has happy endings even though they aren't the same as we were hoping
Tolkien cares about the ponies
Tolkien cares about Lobelia
Tolkien cares
M.aggie:
Oh yes
Tolkien takes special care of Frodo, and other hobbits doesn't he?
RebirthoftheMustelid:
I love Lobelia's redemption at the end. Something about showing the difference between true evil and just everyday curmudgeonry. It's like no, this old woman is not evil. Even if her son became evil, even if she and Bilbo didn't get along, this old woman is not evil. She is just like anyone else, and when evil did come, she got trampled by it even worse than some who were arguably "better" people. Poor Lobelia. I hope her last few years were kind to her.
meg is me:
Frodo doesn't need any more enemies in his life and I'm so happy lobelia became his friend
RebirthoftheMustelid:
Absolutely. Just because she's a cranky old lady doesn't mean she's an enemy, or evil or cruel or any of that.
meg is me:
Basically the only thing that made her "evil" was that she wanted Bilbo dead 😂
Sort of
Lol she wanted his nice house
Windmill to the Stars:
I don't think Lobelia was a like a good person, I think she was kind of mean, greedy, petty, etc. But she was just a lady going about her business . . .
RebirthoftheMustelid:
True. She was unpleasant, yes. Sharp-tongued, greedy, sometimes genuinely nasty. But one moment of kindness after everything broke her. And I think that says a lot
Me:
I just got back from grocery shopping to see this outpouring of love for Lobelia and I couldn’t be happier 💚💚💚
heckinmusicdork:
lady glasses After all this time, I think you've finally made a believer out of me! Yeah sure she may have been Unpleasant for most of her life, but this was a turning point for her, I'm certain of it. It's never too late for someone to change ❤️
Me:
Mercy is extended to everyone. Sometimes it’s easier to forgive the evil than the annoying, but Tolkien offers mercy to them both.
I think the line “she had never in her life been popular” sums up everything about Lobelia. I imagine she’d experienced so much hurt and rejection over the years that she’d eventually shut down and stopped trying, just looking out for herself and no one else. Was some of her pain self-inflicted? Possibly. But there’s a hobbit under all that anger and hurt, and she doesn’t deserve love any less than anyone else.
Bonus:
meg is me:
Au where the ring comes to lobelia like hey I can get you that nice smial you've been wanting
M.aggie:
My preciousssss housssseeee ~ Lobelia Sackville-Baggins
M.aggie is @sweetmaggie, RebirthoftheMustelid is @weezlbot, Windmill to the Stars is @windmilltothestars, heckinmusicdork is @heckin-music-dork, and meg is me does not have tumblr :-3

When you just got done P-ranking all of Act II and then you put yourself through P-2 immediately afterwards, you just wanna build a house in the sandbox for the resident archangel! Cozy space for him!!
