mi hobbit es su hobbit

there's a level of insanity to jrr tolkien having samwise say he felt torn in two between rosie and frodo (THE IMPLICATION?) just for frodo to reply 'well that's an easy solution. get married and then you can come live with me at bag end together.' right right right right

close your eyes and imagine freshly roasted root vegetables perfectly seasoned and crispy as far as the eye can see

Sam trying to get Frodo to take one more step

Sam psychologically tormenting Gollum

plenty of talk about “don’t go where i can’t follow” but not enough talk about sam leaving his sword and the phial of galadriel by his side while begging frodo to understand that he has to go on. not enough talk about him contemplating hunting down gollum and killing him, but realizing it wouldn’t be worth it because it wouldn’t bring frodo back, and he would rather be dead alongside him — even though “that too would be a lonely journey.” not enough talk about sam kissing frodo’s forehead as he takes the ring from his neck, and frodo not responding being what truly convinces sam he’s dead. not enough talk about sam promising that if he doesn’t die in mordor, he’ll come back to frodo’s body, and “he’ll not leave you again.” not enough talk about the steps away from cirith ungol being “the heaviest and most reluctant” sam had ever taken.

nice outfit dude LOL. legolas called. apparently they're taking the hobbits somewhere really crazy
