Never forget that it took Éowyn 2 seconds to recognize Faramir’s worth upon meeting him. I could go on and on about how he’s the first person outside her family to truly and completely respect her but it goes both ways! Denethor never ever saw Faramir’s worth in all his lifetime, but Éowyn took ONE look at him and was like “wow he’s great.” They’re BOTH so GOOD for each other!!

Keene: its a no holds barred war to the death between cowboys and bigfoots Keene: cowboys, of course, have the advantage of intelligence and speed, as well as firearms Keene: but the bigfoots have the numbers
Keene: these bigfoots might just tear these cowboys to pieces Bram Stoker: oh but cowboys! Keene: whats the matter bram? you kill your cowboys all the time! Stoker: yeah but Stoker: i dunno, its different
King: how big are the bigfoots? Keene: eh pretty normal bigfoot sized, i'd say King: really? i expected they'd be bigger King: what about their feet? Keene: oh well, yeah, their feet are big Keene: like duh Keene: obviously
King: wait are their feet big compared to normal feet or big compared to bigfoot feet? Keene: normal King: so big compared to our feet? Keene: yes i Keene: you know the feet aren't really central to this story
Keene: ok so back to the story King: wait a second is it bigfoots or bigfeet? Poe: obviously, it's bigfoots Barker: what? that's insane edgar. it's obviously bigfeet King: no no i think edgar's right on this one Lovecraft: that doesn't make any sense Keene: so back to the story

Here's the thing (don't kill me for this):
Thorin dying at the End of The Hobbit makes sense, in a tragic kind of way. He always gave his everything for his people, it is somewhat poetic that his last act of service to his people was the ultimate sacrifice. That he could find peace with.
He'd find the afterlife an actual restful place, and could take the time to face his demons & trauma. Because he would know he did all he could & gave all the had.
HOWEVER!!!!
Fili & Kili dying was pure BULLSHIT!!!!!
I don't know what possessed Tolkien (our love & saviour, no disrespect) to kill them. Extra tragedy? Pffffff
Un.nece.ssary!
Apart from how Fili would have made an AMAZING king, them dying, his CHILDREN (look me in the eyes and tell me he didn't love those two like his own sons I dare you) ruined ALL peace he would have ever had, turning the WHOLE THING into a needless tragedy, the line ending, their home regained but not for his boys.
THAT is the real crime, that those boys, who left to fight for a home they never even knew, out of loyalty and love for their uncle & surrogate father, lost their lives before actually living them.
THAT is what I will never forgive, forever deny, and why I continue reading fix-it fics like a starving person.
JOHN RONALD REUEL I have WORDS for you!!!!!!

For a short time I'm doing these little sketches/doodles for about $5 dollars. Here's the original post in case you're interested -> Little Sketches
These are the first two I've made, for @secretlythranduil and @wombatking Thank you so much guys!
Doing things in a more quick and lazy stile is actually pretty fun, so this was great ✨ Alas, I tend to want to make everything A Thing. Lol

Well.. I did NOT expect this to happen at all..
A few weeks ago I read a LegolasxOFC fic that made my obsession with elves resurface. (thank you @entishramblings for writing some of the best fics I've ever read..)
Soooo.. I said to myself, "Hey, wasn't I obsessed with elvish and tengwar in highschool? That was cool, so why don't I go back to it again?"
Then it lead to a lot of scribbling and eventually looking into Sindarin for, you know, fun. And now...

The fact that Tolkien realized he’d created inconsistency for LotR with the first published version of The Hobbit and then retconned it with the in universe explanation of “Bilbo is a liar,” is never going to stop being both equal parts brilliant and funny.

It blows my mind that by giving the mithril shirt to Bilbo, Thorin indirectly saved Frodo and thus prevented the Ring-bearer from dying and the Quest from failing. The world was ultimately saved because the exiled King Under the Mountain fell in love with a hobbit.

My Valentines Day artwork this year, but I didn't get around to post it until now. It's Smaugbo art of The Hobbit and Smaug, and was for a contest where you should draw a Valentine's Day Card, so this artwork is a card with the wing moveable.

imagine: you are chilling in front you your house getting high. along comes an old family friend who you last saw when you were six, you are now in your 50s. after a brief convo where he is kind of a dick to you, he’s like damn you’ve changed :/. and your like yeah bestie it’s been five decades why the fuck are you here. he leaves. later that night a shit ton of people show up and trash your house. just throw and absolute rager. halfway through the family friend from earlier shows up. he announces in full earshot of everyone that he wants you to come with him to rob a bank. you of course say wtf??? one of the people who broke into your house calls you a pussy. another person shoves you a contract which declares if you get shot robbing the bank they will not pay for your funeral. you pass out. when you wake up you find the contract on your table and your house almost completely back to normal. you stare at the contract for a moment and decide, fuck it this is just as a good a midlife crisis than anything.
this is what happened to bilbo baggins
