"Do not take me for some conjuror of cheap tricks!" says man who spent the last several hours providing the fireworks show for a birthday party

#gandalf I'm coming for you #(jk) #watching this movie is like meeting an old friend again #and in the last couple years I've gotten more into media analysis and am appreciating even more things than before #op #the fellowship of the ring #lotr #lord of the rings #tolkien

I just said this in a reply, but more concise genre thought: This is the only medieval fantasy novel I've ever read where it's an EARLY -- as in Dark Ages, 600-1100 AD -- medieval fantasy (hilarious genre implications) and it's an incredible ride. I keep telling friends it's like reading Pratchett and catching the puns and references and entire retellings and knowing you've missed stuff that's going to suddenly become clear 10 years from now while you yell.

#i assume Tolkien-inspired Medieval Fantasy (modern genre) immediately cross-pollinated with Arthuriana and gave birth to many tiny knights #already in full plate armor #ready to have an affair and consider witches a social evil #I love Arthuriana too!! but more as a spectator i guess? #with Old English I've had my hands in its proverbial guts a couple times. we have something weird and special. #and i'm glad to see its storyworlds (among others) out in the wild #astro lotr

One of the best parts of Fellowship of the Ring is finding out about Aragorn and Bilbo’s friendship. Like I’ve seen people talk about how they collaborated on the song together, but I have yet to see people talk about this:

“[Bilbo] turned to Strider. ‘Where have you been, my friend? Why weren’t you at the feast? The Lady Arwen was there.’”

Bilbo Baggins, The Fellowship of the Ring pg. 261

Like. Bilbo was definitely one of Aragorn/Arwen’s chief shippers and no one can change my mind about that.

#Help I forgot their ship name #aragorn x arwen #but anyway Bilbo and Aragorn is an underrated friendship that needs to be brought up more #Especially since Bilbo is actually one of the closest in age to Aragorn in Rivendell #only like 40 years apart #As compared to the couple thousand years of Elladan and Elrohir #you can’t tell me those two didn’t bond over the crazy shit in the last ~hundred years they lived through #or that Bilbo didn’t use “well I’m older” at least once in conversation with him #because Bilbo’s a little shit and has to remind Aragorn that he’s the youngest guy there before the Fellowship and the Council #just imagine Bilbo watching Aragorn and Arwen skirt around each other for 17 years bc they have to wait until Aragorn’s king to get married #kiki re-re-re-reads the lord of the rings #just yelling into the void #the lord of the rings #aragorn #bilbo baggins #arwen undomiel #the fellowship of the ring #tolkien quotes #quotes

men who hate people having their silly little lotr ships are so silly and get so wound up about how someone else has interpreted a piece of fiction

like girl i literally don’t care if you don’t ship them why are you all up in MY business about how i’ve interpreted legolas and gimli’s ending as aligning with early-mid 20th century queer coding??

#lotr #lord of the rings #the hobbit #tolkien #gimleaf #gigolas #makes me angry and also amuses me #sure the dude who runs around singing silly songs isn’t at least a LITTLE BIT gay?? #wdym most of the other male characters get married to women and have children? #and these two go off together and then sail to elf heaven?? #like that’s basically how queer couples existed for a large portion of history

Inside me there are two wolves.

One says 'it is a common trend for friendships in media to be disregarded in favour of romantic ships and it is a pity because platonic love is in no way 'lesser' than romantic love, and your friends can absolutely occupy a vital role in your life without the feelings being anything else than platonic, even if you're close enough to be regularly confused for a couple. It isn't outside the realm of possibility to put yourself on the line for your friends, trust them more than new romantic partners you don't know that well, and in general be crushed whenever their lives are in danger, even if you don't want to sleep with said friend.'

The other one says 'oh these friends should fuck'

#the duality of man #i have been confused for a lesbian couple enough times to know the first wolf is right #but also #🙃 #buddie #bellarke #bagginshield #honestly any friendship in lotr falls victim to this #tolkien wrote tender male friendships and two gens later these dudes read like the gayest fantasy cast of all time #i'd include msr and destiel but those are non exactly fanon #crow rambles while high on sleep deprivation

The fact that Celeborn refers to the love of his life as his treasure and refers to Arwen as Aragorn’s treasure … a trend picked up by Elanor who refers to Frodo as Sam’s treasure … it reminds me of how Thorin sought literal treasure but ultimately valued Bilbo above it all … who knows if that’s actually the source of this term for the great romances of the Third Age.

Unfortunately artistically fixated on this period of Nelyo’s life right now.

#These are actually warm up sketches for a couple bigger pieces I’m working on #Which I’m frankly too scared to finish because they have to be perfect #So I’m brutally facing my anxiety by publishing my scribbles to the world ahaha #Anyway we can all do with more tortured redheads #silm art #fanart #silm fanart #silm #the silmarillion #silmarillion #silm fandom #the silm fandom #the silm #tolkien #maedhros #thangorodrim #maitimo nelyafinwe #russandol #maitimo

I highly doubt that hardcore Tolkienians don't know this, but if any of you haven't noticed, many of the peoms in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have a basic meter of an avarge English/Irish/Scotish folk song.

So, you can actually sing poems like Far Over the Misty Mountains and The Fall of Gil-galad on the tune of songs like Star of the County Down as well as The Wellerman shanty and most cursedly - Drunken Sailor.

Enjoy this information.

#it's very hard for me to read poetry in a second language #and half way through fellowship my mind just started to sing them all on the star of county down tune #it was so cool when i realized this #anyway #now you are cursed with this information #have fun #you just need to find tge right beat #and also feel which line should be said a bit faster #try a couple and you'll know #the lord of the rings #lord of the rings #lotr #the hobbit #tolkien #jrr tolkien

Cloudryad, to Thranduil and Miriel: remember, if anyone hurts you mommy will maim them

Oropher: and daddy will bail mommy out of jail.

So, you have an interest in moles...
