WHY is there no 'Soldier, Poet, King' animatic with Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn.
I love this photo
can't stop laughing
I was listening to The Milk Carton by Madilyn Mei, and I fully realized, this is Sameise Gamgee’s song.
From the entire message of leaving home and being terrified yet enthralled, to the messages about seeing things only heard of in stories and realizing the true intensity of them, and trying your best to stay there for the one you support, and that knowledge that even if you do return home somehow, it will never be the same. Even the lines of “You can still win, just gotta be faster” falls into the reassurance for Frodo. Hell, even the “Something tells me kid never learned to swim, can I do anything when i’m also drowning?” fits Sam’s entire internal conflict SO FUCKING WELL??? I have no idea if this was intentional or if i’m reading WAYYYY too far into this, but please tell me what you all think!!
(Following are the main lyrics that stood out to me as Sam’s song!!)
20 YEARS OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY
(DECEMBER 19, 2001)
It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened?
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.
What are we holding on to, Sam? That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS (2001 - 2003)
20 years of The Fellowship of The Ring released december 19, 2001
Here was one with an air of high nobility such as Aragorn at times revealed, less high perhaps, yet also less incalculable and remote: one of the Kings of Men born into a later time, but touched with the wisdom and sadness of the Eldar Race. He knew now why Beregond spoke his name with love. He was a captain that men would follow, that he would follow, even under the shadow of the black wings.
“Forth Eorlingas!”

My obsession with Legolas has finally reached a point where I did this
I have a problem okay. Legolas is both let's be honest
Just remembered that when I was 12(?), I was going to watch the hobbit movies but got distracted a few minutes in and then spent the next >2h trying to come up with the most regal sounding way to say Thranduil’s name and just repeating it an absurd amount of times.
(I had chicken pox at the time and was just very bored and sitting in my bed.)
Just saw a tik tok that said George R. R Martin claims Jamie Lannister could beat Aragorn in a sword duel. First of all Aragorn is Dunedain higher race of men and he has the Narsil sword that injured Sauron, Jamie can’t compete where he doesn’t compare. Second of all Boromir in his past life as Ned Stark was Jamie’s fear so…. George better put some respect on Tolkien coming from an author who can’t finish his pro incest story. All in all this comical author has some nerve making these comical proposals
