One of the most fascinating details about Gollum for me is that even though it is said that the Ring warps its user’s intentions and makes them commit acts of evil, Gollum never once uses the Ring for any power-seeking purposes. He doesn’t try to assemble an army or rule over anyone. He doesn’t try to conquer lands or replace Sauron. He never uses it with the intent of dominating others. All he ever wants to do with it is hold it, look at it, sometimes wear it, and keep it with him in dark little caves where he can eat anything edible he can find. It’s even mentioned somewhere that the Ring’s temptation in his mind is merely visions of him having enough fish to keep himself fed forever. But he never tries to use the Ring’s power to actually become powerful…the very thing that Gandalf and Galadriel were afraid they would do if they had the Ring. I think that goes to show how Gollum still was shaped by his hobbit nature; it’s just an inherent trait for hobbits to be completely uninterested in any kind of absolute power or dominion of others.

‘He will never love me, I fear; for he bit me, and I was not gentle’
Aragorn saying this about Gollum reminds me of every cat owner including myself.

ngl the funniest part of fellowship of the ring is when sam tells frodo abt how he thinks gollum is following them and then they agree to not tell aragorn until the next day to ensure they don’t worry him. sam and frodo believe that aragorn, a literal ranger, didn’t realize that smeagol was following the company. they were the first ones to realize they were being followed by the little gremlin. like guys ik you think you’re smart, but aragorn is known for his tracking skills 💀 ur not special

"Frodo broke off a portion of a wafer and handed it to him on its leaf-wrapping. Gollum sniffed at the leaf and his face changed: a spasm of disgust came over it, and a hint of his old malice." -The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, ch 13

it fucks me up by the way that EVEN as gollum literally attacks Sam and Frodo at the Crack of Doom, the music that plays for him is his Gollum's Pity theme, also called Sméagol's Theme, rather than Gollum's Menace (Gollum's Theme). the score itself still feels pity and mercy for him even when he's at his worst

First his game is a flop and now this. Theres a fine line between criticism and harassment.
Reviewers have blood on their hands.

Frodo: You have to apologize to Smeagol.
Sam: Fine.
Sam: 'Unfuck you' or whatever.

A significant distinction that everyone should be aware of:
Calling the Ring “my precious” is a level of control/possession/corruption all its own. When a Ring-bearer calls it that, that’s when you know it has an unbreakable hold on the bearer.
Isildur says “it is precious to me,” which is pretty much equivalent.
Smeagol/Gollum refers to the Ring as “my precious” countless times.
Bilbo refers to the Ring as “my precious” in the book’s first chapter/the first few minutes of the film. Even though he manages to give it up, he still isn’t fully free from it, continuing to want to see it/touch it “one more time.”
Frodo, who literally carries the Ring around his neck for 6 months straight all the way into the Cracks of Doom where it’s most powerful, NEVER refers to the Ring as “my precious.” EVER. Even when it finally conquers his will in the end, he only says it’s “mine.” Not “my precious.”
Frodo and Sam both call it “the precious” when talking to Gollum, because that’s what Gollum calls it (I doubt Gollum even knows the word ‘Ring’), and they want to ensure Gollum knows what they’re talking about.
But not once, in a 1000+ page book or an 11-hour film trilogy, does Frodo ever call the Ring “MY precious” or claim that “it is precious to ME.” Even when the Ring wears him down enough to prevent him from dropping it into the Fire, it still can’t gain enough control over him to make him say those particular fatal words.
