#There's a similar debate with self in the hobbit and both sides of that one definitely sound like 'indecisive gollum'

unscheduled detour Man, I really enjoy making reference sheets, but only for characters I didn’t create and don’t own. I don’t know if this is of interest to anyone else, but, well, I made it, so here it is. (I probably didn’t need this many notes but if I put the project down for a while and come back to it later I suppose it’s possible that I’ll have forgotten why I was doing things this way)

#gollum #lotr #lotr fanart #smeagol #fan redesign #I guess #hey do you want a hot take #a spicy burning fire hot take about slimy monster that makes the gross noise #I didn't think he had a split personality? I thought he just was dramatically acting out a thought process that most people keep quiet #You see gollum has lived alone in a cave with nothing to do but eat fish and talk to hismelf for 500ish(?) years #And he's all out of fish #Now he's weird #I know the Ring beams thoughts into your head but no other character perceives that as another personality #I thought his voice and eyes were changing because both of those are things Gollum normally does #He seemed to have some degree of control over every speech quirk except for the trademark throat noises #And his eyes turn green when he's angry #So he's just uh really passionate about his internal debates #There's a similar debate with self in the hobbit and both sides of that one definitely sound like 'indecisive gollum' #Maybe this is a hot take #Maybe I'm going to stir up some controversy over slimy monster with strangly hands #Maybe this is what tumblr really really cares about #the movie obviously disagrees with me anyway #But but also as soon as Gollum realizes Sam is awake he pulls himself together and acts like the whole thing never happened #As one would who was voicing a fierce internal struggle but was not actually taken over by an alter #I also never got the sense that either aspect of gollum considers itself a separate entity or person #The one not calling itself Smeagol never picks a different name #'My precious' is clearly a weird pet name and not a real name or title #long post #Please submit me to the proper authorities for cancellation if you do not like my opinion on the meth hobbit

----------------------------------------------------------------

You settled on the sofa, legs curled underneath you. Friday nights had quickly become one of your favourite nights. You had taken it upon yourself to help Steve and occasionally Bucky catch up on everything pop culture from the last 70 years. “Steve, dim the lights.”  Steve followed your instructions and then sat in the armchair in front on the tv. “So, what we watching tonight Y/N?” he offered you the bowl of popcorn. “Lord of the rings. First of 3. Then we have to watch the hobbit” Steve turned his head to face you “6 films! In one night?” You laughed. “No way. It would take us 3 days. The films are so long but they are so good.” As you pressed play your mind wondered to Bucky; he had yet another date. You sighed and tried to concentrate on the film as a familiar wave of jealousy crashed over you.

It hadn’t taken you long to fall for Bucky. He had intrigued you when Steve had first introduced the two of you. He was quiet, brooding and the most attractive person you had ever come across. It took a couple of weeks to move beyond just civil hellos and goodbyes. After that initial awkwardness you spent a lot of time with Bucky and Steve. Bucky had a wicked sense of humour, similar to your own. He told stories about his childhood with Steve, and you adored how his eyes would come alive as he spoke and a smile would tug at the corner of his lips. After that you were gone, completely addicted to being around him. When he had asked you to be his sparring partner, your heart gave a little flutter just at the thought of spending time alone with him. Then the little touches that lingered for longer than normal, lead you to believe that maybe the feelings you had were in fact mutual.

Then one day your hopes came crashing down. You had been in the gym, Sam had his arm slung casually over your shoulder and was tucking a loose strand of hair behind you ear when you heard the door close. Bucky was walking over to you. An unreadable expression on his face, but if you had to guess then you would have said he was annoyed. Sam took Bucky’s arrival as a cue to leave, so unhooked his arm from you and went over to grab his stuff. “Hey, you two fancy a take away for tea?” You nodded and looked at Bucky. He was frowning slightly, as if in an internal debate. “Nah, got a date” Sam patted a congratulatory slap on Bucky’s back and left. You had to turn your back on Bucky momentarily as you tried to hide your bitter disappointment.  

Since the announcement in the gym, Bucky, it seemed, was making up for lost time. He had a date nearly every night. The mornings after would normally reveal that these dates had been a success. You had learnt very rapidly to focus on your breakfast as Bucky would walk his date through the kitchen towards the elevator. Bucky was always polite and thanked them for a wonderful evening but you had yet to see the same woman twice. On his return to the kitchen he would always send a small look your way to assess your reaction but he had yet to see what he was looking for.

When you had asked Bucky whether he was joining you and Steve tonight, he noticed how your eyes fell to the floor and your shoulders dropped slightly when he said told you he had another date. To be honest there was only one person he wanted to take out on a date, but he didn’t think you were interested. He had witnessed for himself how close you and Sam were that day at the gym. He only went on so many dates as a distraction and as a way to make you jealous. So far, he hadn’t seen this, but your reaction today filled him with a tiny glimmer of hope. Enough to make him to ring up Harriet and cancel on her.

“Why has that guy got pointy ears?” You jumped at the sudden interruption. Turning around you could just about make out Bucky walking towards you. As he came closer you could see that he was definitely not dressed up for a date.  The sofa dipped as he sat beside you. Steve glanced over and smiled to himself, he may not have had a clue what was happening in the movie but he knew exactly what his best friend was doing. “He’s an elf Bucky” you looked towards him and swallowed, the reflection of the tv let you know he was looking directly at you.  “I thought you had a date? You asked quietly. He shrugged his shoulders “I cancelled it. Realised I hadn’t spent time with my best girl in a while.” Heat spread across your cheeks and you quickly turned your attention back to the film. He placed his hand on your ankle casually. A shiver ran down your spine involuntarily, you silently prayed that he hadn’t noticed at how your body responded to his touch.

“Y/N, you alright?” Shit, he’d noticed. Your eyes flicked across to him. Thank god it was dark so he couldn’t see your embarrassment “mmmm, just a little cold.” You watched as he grabbed a blanket on the other side of him. Thinking he was going to pass it you, you held out your hand expectantly. Instead he placed the blanket in his lap, took your hand and pulled you towards him so that were leaning against his body. “Bucky” you whined. “Shhh, I’m trying to watch the film” he chided. You huffed quietly as he wrapped his arm around your shoulder and draped the blanket over both of you. It took a while but you felt your body relax into his. Your hand resting on his thigh below the blanket and his fingertips ran small circles over a small patch of exposed where your t-shirt had crept up.

“Y/N, the movies finished. Steve’s gone to bed” Your eyes blinked open and scrunched shut again, the living room were bright. You pushed your head tighter against Bucky’s chest groaning your disapproval. You could feel Bucky chuckle beneath you. “I fell asleep, didn’t I?” He made a hum of agreement and shifted away so that he could look at you. He smiled tenderly at you. “What?” you said confused “what’s is it Bucky?” You self-consciously ran your hands over your hair. His blue eyes were still focussed on you, you could feel the heat spreading across your face. “Nothing Y/N you just look adorable.” You felt your jaw go slack in shock. “I didn’t think adorable was a word in your vocabulary.” His smile faltered slightly. “I know a lot of words Y/N, I just only say some of them to certain people” He said quietly. “Buck, why did you really cancel your date?” you blurted out. He looked a bit taken back but then his face softened. “I told you earlier, I wanted to spend time with you” His hand reached out to cup your cheek. “But…” He cut you off by pressing his lips to yours, your lips responded to his in an instant. Breaking the kiss, he rested his forehead on yours. “I’m not the only one who needs educating Y/N.”
