#if it's Jack I'd feel larger and shorter
Note
Hii :)
I'm not the previous anon, but it's in theme.
I've seen some stuff about the am@zon pr!me show on the webs, it made me curious to watch, but I don't know jack sh*t about LOTR or anything tolkien, really.
So then I started by watching the movies in chronological order, first the hobbit trilogy, then the lotr one (haven't finished the two towers yet oops). I have to be honest, I don't care much for the original movie trilogy, like at all; I thought the hobbit movies were much better. Should I bother with tolkien's books? I'm going to read the silmarillion either way, seems interesting.
Feel free to ignore this ask completely, I'm scouring reddit for similar discussion posts, still undecided.
ps: I'm obsessed with your blog, you're so funny lol
Love xx
I'm always happy to talk about Tolkien so ask away!
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the lotr movies but I love that you enjoyed The Hobbit! People usually prefer lotr so it's nice to see The Hobbit getting some love. I personally adore both trilogies!
As for the books if you're looking to get into Tolkien's world I would personally start with The Hobbit (especially if you enjoyed the movies) just because, The Silmarillion, even though chronologically it's set many years before, it's more of a book you read once you've been introduced to the world and then want to learn more. Whereas the Hobbit is a pretty light, relatively quick easy read, and will give you a good introduction to Tolkien's writing.
I'd then move onto lotr next. That is if you're interested in reading it? If you're just not interested, seeing as you didn't care for the movies you can skip it. But as with most books that are made into movies, the books are a lot more detailed then the movies and it's one of the most popular fantasy stories ever for a reason, so I'd recommend at least giving the books a try
Then after you've tried those I'd read The Silmarillion. I wouldn't recommend starting with it just because it's a very different book to The Hobbit/lotr. The Silmarillion is more of a detailed history rather then a straight fantasy novel. It's made up a series of shorter stories, that all fit together into a larger one and is very heavy with characters and events and world building. And although I love it and it's my fave book! it can be quite divisive in that people either love it or they just can't get into it. And I will admit the first few chapters are a bit of a slog to get through the first time you read it, but defs stick with it and push through because it gets so much better! Anyway If you're a fan a histories and detailed world building (me!) you'll love it. But for people who aren't so much into those things, they can find it a bit heavy. But reading it will definitely make the whole Tolkien world more immersive, and adds a whole nother layer to The Hobbit/lotr
And thankyou!! That's so sweet of you to say! 馃槃馃挄

If that's possible I'd like to do a request for Castiel x child reader, where she was his first adoptive child who had power over souls but got killed but the British men in season 12. When souless Jack appear in the Eden she is the one who helps him, they talk and she ask him to give a message to cas (something cute or hopefully)
Castiel- True Words

Pairing: Castiel x Adoptive!Daughter, Jack Kline

I met Castiel when I was a teenager. He had popped out of nowhere. I could tell he wasn't one like the others. A human I mean, he was different. Something more calculated and closed off from the rest.
I was a girl that was stuck in the cycle of being adopted and then being brought back to the orphanage. A great cycle. But there was a trick that I had always had. I read a person or at least that what's the people always said about me.
Castiel told me that day, A twelve-year-old. "You, will one day save the world." Then as quickly as he was there he was gone. I just stared at the empty spot. I had never gotten a feeling like that from anyone.
He was right though ten years later. There he was standing between two larger men. They were called the Winchesters. "Dean, just give her a moment. The website said that she could help us." The taller said.
They were standing in front of the help desk. I had made a business out of my talent. For a service price of course. "This is just a spoof, Sam. A waste of money if you ask me." I heard the shorter brother say.
I stepped from behind the door. "Hello, Do you have an appointment?" I asked, smiling as I saw Castiel. My angel. "Castiel it's good to see you after so many years," I said.
"You know her?" The shorter one asked. "Is that how I found her?" The taller one asked. Castiel didn't speak, something that was common for him. I could feel the vibration from the three of them.
"Yes, I told Y/n many years ago that she'd save the world. It's been written for ages now." Castiel said matter of factly. "If you wouldn't mind coming in," I said. The boys followed behind me.
"So what do you do anyway," Dean asked. It was easy to read him, he was broken. A shattered man by the faults of his mother and father. "I read souls." He huffed and rolled his eyes. A jab from his younger brother went into his chest.
"Look now, you both know that you believe enough to know that there are things out there you don't know enough about. Dean your trust issues are a leading issue in solving anything. Sam, you can't trust yourself but trust everyone else. The two of you are the brothers that everyone fights for, yet nobody says 'thank you for saving our world'." I said
A stream of shock rolled over both of their faces. Something I don't think either was prepared to hear. Castiel butted in, "You said you can read a soul. Can you read the soul of a person from a picture?" He asked, diverting the hot attention of the boys and onto what I could gather was their reasoning for showing up.
After Castiel showed me the picture, he gave me further detail. An Arthur Ketch was who they were after, a whole party of hunters but from over the sea.
I was able to help, and the boys left. Castiel was nice enough to help and stay. Cleaning up alongside me. "You know I thought of you every day after I saw you Castiel," I said grabbing something from the table. "I know I heard your prayers every night." He said.
"I adopted you when you turned seventeen, but I wasn't prepared to thrust you into a life for which you'd have to come back to eventually," Castiel said. There was a serious tone behind his words. A kind tone as well, something that I didn't need to be able to read to control souls to understand.
He asked me if I'd like to join them, Something that I was no doubtfully confused about. The only reason not to was my own fear, and I didn't need fear in my life not with my abilities after all.
A long lifetime couldn't spare you from all the damages you were given by being near the Winchesters. My life ended not shortly after staying with them. I was caught and used as bate to lure the Winchester, and Castiel into a trap by the British men of letters I learned before my fate ended my life.
Where I was sent was a beautiful garden, one filled with the green life, and budding flowers. One at peace and tranquility. My Eden, I called it. I sat there for ages, years in the silence of my new home. Awaiting anything new and bright. Awaiting the promise of new life.
One day that was given to me. A young boy came walking into my Eden. A pair of glasses clouded me from seeing his whole face, but it never mattered. "You must be wondering where you are?" I asked.
The boy stood still, "You look similar." He said. I turned my head, "You must be confused, I have been here for years boy." I said, "My name's Jack."
"Jack Winchester." He said stripping himself of the glasses. The bright blue eyes of the ocean staring back at me. I smiled "You must know Castiel." I said. He shook his head, a goofy smile on his face.
"He talks about you a lot ya'know." Jack said. "I bet, now would you like to go back, I imagine that's why you're here to help him and the Winchester brother," I said speaking softly.
"Yes, I'm afraid they still need my help down there," Jack said. He was so gentle with the plants he started to walk around Eden. "alright Jack, whenever you're ready and I'll send you back." I said to Jack.
I thought of how I missed Castiel, nothing could be changed now, but it would be wonderful to let him know that I'm okay, at least as far as heaven is concerned.
"I'm ready." He said a flower he must have plucked was his hand. "Jack, can I ask a favor from you?" I asked. He turned his head slightly, something that Castiel did many times before...
"Would you give a message to Castiel?" I asked, he shook his head happily. "Tell Castiel, that I will do whatever I can here in Eden to protect the legacy of him and the Winchesters. Tell him that I can't thank him enough for the home he gave me when nobody else would."
I said sadly. Jack closed his eyes, "He'll be more than happy to hear from you." And with that, I snapped my fingers and send Jack Winchester back home to Castiel and the Winchester brothers.
Maybe I did save the world, but Castiel saved me when I was much younger. He saved me and truly he was the one that saved the world.
