Yesterday at my cousin’s house, as the kids were getting ready to hunt Easter eggs, I saw one of them with a giant bucket that looked like this: 

(sans popcorn, of course) and I leaned over to my sister’s boyfriend and said “...poor kid. He’ll only get to keep half of his eggs” AND HE GOT SO MAD

Why would anyone mind?

I know you doubt me, I know you always have, and you’re right. I often think of Bag End. I miss my books, and my arm chair, and my garden. See, that’s where I belong; that’s home,

LOTR’s concept artists designed the films as a “journey back in time”

So (according to the concept art book) as the Fellowship travels deeper into Middle Earth, the places they pass through become inspired by progressively older periods of history. The farther along you are in the story, the more ancient the design influences

We begin in The Shire: which feels so familiar because, with its tea-kettles and cozy fireplaces, it’s inspired by the relatively recent era of rural England in the 1800s

But when we leave Hobbiton, we also leave that familiar 1800s-England aesthetic behind and start going farther back in time. 

Bree is based on late 1600s English architecture

Rohan is even farther back, based on old  anglo-saxon era architecture (400s-700s? ce)

Gondor is way back, and no longer the familiar English or Anglo-Saxon: its design comes from classical Greek and Roman architecture

And far far FAR back is Mordor. It’s a land of tents and huts: prehistoric, primitive, primeval. Cavemen times

And the heart of Mordor is a barren lifeless hellscape of volcanic rock…like a relic from the ages when the world was still being formed,  and life didn’t yet exist

And then they finally reach Mount Doom, which one artist described as 

“where the ring was made, which represents, in a sense, the moment of creation itself”

Today, in a real-life conversation I almost said "whispers" at the beginning of a sentence, and then i realized i could just actually whisper and had to reconsider my life choices

sir that’s my emotional support found family trope

Sometimes I ask myself, "Does it get more romantic than the 'How would you describe me, John?' scene?"

And then I remember the "'This is family' 'That's WHY he stays'" scene, and oh yes, it does.
