Well he crippled him, and gave him 7 unhealing wounds. So Fingolfin won this battle

But unfortunately he got stomped by him to death...

I role-play Erestor, an Elf of Rivendell, over at @counsellorerestor, with my partner-in-crime @glorfindel-of-imladris as Glorfindel / @glorfindel-of-rivendell.

These two are horny. Ulan and I are desperately trying to move the plot along and they're just wanting to make out. 😂

I made a deeply specific meme to send Ulan and first had to provide context.

Yesterday I was at my grandma dacha and during a break from work in the garden there I quickly sketched Gandalf and Frodo (I just started watching “The Lord of the Rings” and I regret that I didn’t do this earlier🤧)

I am half asleep and started thinking about the Fellowship at the dentist, so:

WOULD THE FELLOWSHIP BE AFRAID OF GOING TO THE DENTIST?

Frodo: No. Goes to the dentist very rarely anyway, as his genes have blessed him with basically zero cavities.

Sam: A little nervous about it, but he goes there regardless. He has cavities, and Frodo convinces him to go. His hands sweat while he is in the chair, and he bows as a thank you before leaving the room.

Pippin: No. He goes there for fun, because he wants to try the laugh gas. Claims to have cavities more often than he actually does, just so he can take a handful of the candy offered for kids when he leaves.

Merry: No. He goes in, flirts with the receptionist, sits in the chair, and goes home.

Aragorn: No, but before he became King and he went there once, there was a shit ton of cavities and it took him like 3 appointments to take care of them all.

Gimli: Doesn't even go. Some of his teeth are probably some gold he struck in his mouth himself to resemble teeth.

Boromir: Terrified. Said "Gondor has no dentist, Gondor needs no dentist" so many times that he was dragged to the dentist (next to his house) by force. He acts all cool, but when he stands up from the chair, its just wet from his sweat.

Legolas: Doesn't need a dentist. Sometimes goes there to hold Boromir's hand and to look at all the equipment in amazement.

Gandalf: Doesnt need a dentist, but goes there from time to time just to sit down on the chair and talk to the dentist and the assistants for hours. He does this so often he has been banned from several places because 'he keeps wasting work time by endless talking'.

And as a bonus:

Bilbo: Passes out the second he sees the drill.

Peter Jackson on casting Frodo

“Frodo was a very, very important character in the movies. But he’s also a very difficult character to play and to cast. […] We were convinced that Frodo is gonna be an English actor, ’cause we wanted the Hobbits to basically be English as Tolkien really wrote them. So, we went to London and we started auditioning.

We couldn’t think of any actor to play Frodo. We had nobody in mind. We thought it would be unknown English actor, a young kid. We were in London auditioning for about a month and we’ve probably seen three hundred Frodos. There were two or three that were okay, but nothing magical, you know. ’Cause Frodo had to be magical. Every time the casting room door opened and some nervous young actor would come in, we were saying, ‘is this gonna be Frodo?’ And you sort of know within ten seconds that it wasn’t really Frodo. It was a worry, but we were plugging on.

And then our casting director said to us one day, ‘A package’s just come in the mail. It’s from Elijah Wood’. It was a video tape, a VHS tape. I had heard Elijah’s name, but I’ve never seen a film he’d done. I actually had no face for Elijah, I didn’t know how he looked like.

So, we put the video tape in. Elijah was in LA and heard that we were in London and we’re not gonna come to LA. He really wanted to get this role. So, he hired a dialect coach to teach him accent, he’d gone to the local costume-hire, got some cheesy kind of Hobbit costume on. He’d gone into the trees somewhere behind his house with a friend, and he just videotaped his own audition. He didn’t have our script, so he was reading from the book, he was doing Frodo parts from the book.

I just put this video tape in, and literally, not having known who Elijah Wood was really, I just thought, ‘he’s wonderful, he’s absolutely great’. And so, Elijah cast himself”.
