POV:
You think of the characters strewn throughout the First and Second Age stories, and you want to scream your lungs out of your trachea.

"I asked Chat GPT"...yeah well I asked Sam Gamgee and he told me that the shadow is only a passing thing, that there is light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. 😌
Tumblr media
"I asked Chat GPT"...yeah well I asked Éowyn and she told me that women of this country learned long ago that those without swords can still die upon them. That she fears neither pain nor death.
Tumblr media
"I asked Chat GPT"...yeah well I asked Aragorn and he said "I BID YOU STAND, MEN OF THE WEST!"
Tumblr media
"I asked Chat GPT"...yeah well I asked Faramir and he said that Shire must be a great realm, where gardeners are held in high esteem.
Tumblr media
"I asked Chat GPT"...yeah well I asked Legolas and he had some exposition for us.
Tumblr media
I could definitely go on, but that's good for now 😅

I think watching the movies we forget how totally unhinged the Prancing Pony scene is in the books. Like it’s literally:
Frodo: Right, there’s evil things after me, gotta keep a low profile. Got it everyone? Low profile.
Also Frodo, five minutes later: WITH A PING AND A PONG THE FIDDLE STRINGS BROKE AND THE COW JUMPED OVER THE MOOOOOON!!!! *Dances passionately on the table*
A few minutes and one fall later
Strider: Holy shit Frodo you fucked up so bad.
Frodo: W-what??
Strider: Worse than anything your friends could have done!
Frodo: Who-
Strider: We need to talk, once the clamour has died down.
Frodo: Ok…
Later, in the now deserted and dark pub
Pippin: Did he really say to meet you here?
Frodo: Yeah, maybe-
Strider, sitting in a dark corner: Hello
Hobbits: Ah!
Frodo: Uh, hi, you said you wanted to talk to me?
Strider: Yes, and you might hear something to your advantage.
Frodo: Sure… what do you have to say.
Strider: Many things, but of course I have my price.
Frodo: What price?
Strider: no more than you can afford.
Frodo: And that would be-?
Strider: Take me with you on your journey until I wish to leave.
Frodo: No.
Strider: God, Thank you.
Frodo: Huh?
Strider: At least got some sense left.
Frodo: Um.
Strider: Did no one ever teach you “stranger danger”?
Later
Frodo: Guys, I think we can trust him.
Merry: Source?
Frodo: Vibes.
Merry: Valid source.
Frodo: Also he’s so ugly, there’s only so much damage he can do, you know?
Pippin: 10/10 reasoning.
Sam: I can take him.
Aragorn, probably: Manwe above, I’m not a moment too soon.

Again, about how the Legendarium begins and ends in fire...
Melkor being drawn to the Flame Imperishable started a whole story. The One Ring perished in the fire, and new beginning was made.
Fëanáro born in fire started a compilation of his actions. As he died in fire, a new era was made.
Maedhros coming back as fire provoked a flipping of narratives. Dying in fire started a new Age.
However, Nerdanel, while starting in fire, did not end in fire. She ended in water, where her story will remain to be written and mourned, and never ended and never started anew.
The same goes for her son, Maglor, who held fire in his soul, and did not end in fire, instead walking along the shores that separate him and his kindred.
In Tolkien, fire is of endings turning into new beginnings.
In Tolkien, water is of a story that never quite ends and that never quite begins afresh, forever haunting the timeline.

Just something about how the Legendarium started and ended in fire.
Just something about Melkor's obsession with the Flame Imperishable was the introduction to the entire story, and the destruction of the One Ring was in fire.
Just something about how Fëanáro was born in fire (as in, he stole most of his mother's fire), and ended in fire.
Just something about how Maedhros after Thangorodrim arose as a fire, and ended himself in fire.
And then something about how Nerdanel ended her fire by standing by the water her family left by.
And something about Maglor ending his fire by walking along the shores that separate him and his family.

Tonight, we remember one who lent his enormous talent to telling the story we have all come to love. Hail, the victorious dead!
May the Simbelmynë cover his tomb as it did the tomb of the one he so accurately portrayed.
Bernard Hill Dec 17, 1944 - May 5, 2024

Hello, fellow Tolkien fan! If I sent you a bunch of out of context quotes from my life, would you be interested in making a post where you assign each quote to a different Tolkien character?
Hello to you too, Anon!
To answer your question in the briefest way possible, no, I would not do so. However, I do take submissions if you would rather that.
Reason being, I'm horrendous at assigning characters particular quotes unless I have thought well and hard on them (and this blog isn't primarily an incorrect quotes blog despite recent posts), although I certainly would love for you to leave such quotes and assign your own characters to them.
I look forward to your quotes and characters you think would be best suited for them!

On a scale from Turgon to Elrond, how well did “raising your sibling’s offspring/descendant in your hidden valley and having them fall in love with your daughter” turn out
