rewatching lotr, as you do, but there's something hitting about Isildur getting killed by three arrows (to the back) while abandoning his men versus Boromir getting killed by three arrows (to the chest) while doing everything to save Merry and Pippin and the influence of the ring over men, idk but my heart did a thing when i noticed it :(
I haven’t made a full holiday drawing yet, but here’s some sp holiday doodles :)
ok this last one is based on an experience I had where I went to home goods with my mom and the Jewish section was super small and all they had basically was oven mitts
I would like to point out that Merry and Pippin spanned the gap between Rohan and Gondor long before Aragorn even returned to the White City. Pippin became a close friend to Faramir and lit the beacon of Minas Tirith, while Merry rode with Eowyn to defend the ancient alliance. Theoden, King of Rohan, was slain on the soil of Gondor to uphold the honor of their allegiance; and Eowyn, dearer than daughter, slew the most ancient foe of Rohan to avenge him.
'Yes, and your road lies with him, I think, Merry. But do not look for mirth at the ending. It will be long, I fear, ere Théoden sits at ease again in Meduseld. Many hopes will wither in this bitter Spring.'
Aragorn has been saying many cheerful things like that
almost done with my fellowship reread. He’s kinda mean about it but Gandalf’s pippin slander is 100% justified this little dude was born to be a liability
Bro it’s literally 3am for me right now (I’m nocturnal, okay?!) and school is in 3.5 hours but I just finished this fanart that is basically a sequel to my “the little hobbits always sleep in a pile” drawing!!! (This one only took me 1HR 45MINS though)
This fanart is named “late night butterflies”
SORRY FOR THE INSANELY SMALL TEXT FOR THE DIALOGUE, I’LL PUT WHAT SAM AND PIP SAY BELOW ⬇️
Sam: “Hey, do you think Merry will be coming up here soon?”
Pippin: “No, not anytime soon. He said he’d be busy being a ‘cuddle bug’. You just wanna chat?”
Sam: “Sure. I’d like that.”
DIALOGUE ABOVE ⬆️
Of course, Pippin is smoking his pipe (I would have had Merry do that if he wasn’t passed out and busy being a cuddle bug 😚)!!!
