LotR fandom, as far as I've seen, pays an astounding lack of attention to the Fellowship's canonical Roommates Period, in which they all lived in the same house in Minas Tirith for two-and-a-half months after Aragorn's coronation simply because he wanted his friends to still be around for his wedding (which, incidentally, he refused to tell them was coming).

Every new generation of girls at some point as a child or teen must watch Lord of the rings so they can fall in love with Aragorn and Legolas.

Also faramir and Eomer too

just thinking about bilbo thinking about how in love with thorin he is and how grateful hes alive and of their lives together in the shire and how theyre both just so happy and at peace and O;IRGAO;HIERGO;ALEIGHO;AIERG

More behind the scenes pictures of the LOTR cast 🤩

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

dir. Peter Jackson

Durin: Trusts Elrond with his people’s greatest secret, probably taught him Khuzdul, the secret and sacred language of the dwarves, and very nearly tells him his secret name (!!!!!)

Also Durin: the feelings I have for him are definitely Brotherly™

Me, trying very hard to be normal about this: yeah Thorin being your grandson checks out

Sam and Frodo: We were gay and in love and we wrote it down in this book drawing explicit parallels between our relationship and the epic romance of Beren and Lúthien

Middle Earth historians that transcribed/translated the Red Book of Westmarch: They were such good friends :) Best friends :) Just bros being bros :)

To everyone saying that technically Tolkien never said male elves have long hair.

Glorfindel did not get pulled into the abyss by his long blond hair for you to dismiss his hairstyle!

Celeborn doesn't translate to 'silver tree' because he had a buzz cut!

Finrod's golden locks aren't mentioned multiple times for no reason!

I like how everyone in LotR tumblr is being all euphemistic and vague about their aesthetic complaints with Rings of Power speaking about immersion and how the short hair is ruining the experience instead of just saying what they mean

They made Elrond unfuckable and it sucks

thinking about how merry and pippin will only ever remember frodo as someone they knew in their youth is so incredibly sad to me

i wonder if when they met up they talked about him, and as they got older those memories started to blur

i wonder if they still remembered his voice in the end, or how his face truly looked. i wonder how much of their friend they still had in their memories

rly lightweight elves bc it would b cool but mostly hilarious

elven men literally weighing nothing like the same as a bag of sugar

Caranthir being yeeted over Haleth shoulder and her being like lol omg this man is made of air

Legolas being so light that Gimli is like u weigh the same as two grapes and wearing him like a scarf

Tuor and Idrill climbing a tree and Idrill walking across a branch that when tuor does just gets destroyed

human being like what do u weigh? like 200lbs 170??? and elves just being like wow just fucking call me an oliphant why dont u

insert dwarves making jokes abt how they get blow away in the winds of their mountains

and insert some bs elf priests say abt how their hollow bones match that of manwes birds, of the woodwinds used to sing the first song

bby elves weighing nothing and their human hobbit or dwarf parent being like omg wheres the bby oh wait there they r

Bitches: mad about Rings of Power's Galadriel not being serene and wise at all times.

Me, an enlightened bitch:

Incorrect Lord of the Rings Quotes

Incorrect Lord of the Rings Quotes

okay, so i know ppl are talking abt wraiths and implications but im just here like-

aragorn just doesn’t want his new friend to even think abt dying?? he wants frodo, sam, merry and pippin to be healthy, please and thank you, and aragorn will ensure that, for better or worse!

like- he just cares! and i think this is a sweet moment. v “dont u even joke abt that!”

elrond and durin: we’ll defeat sauron with the power of love and friendship! galadriel: and this gun i found

‘But there, I believe my looks are against me.’ ‘They are – at first sight at any rate,’ laughed Pippin with sudden relief after reading Gandalf ’s letter. 'But handsome is as handsome does, as we say in the Shire; and I daresay we shall all look much the same after lying for days in hedges and ditches.’ 'It would take more than a few days, or weeks, or years, of wandering in the Wild to make you look like Strider,’ he answered. 'And you would die first, unless you are made of sterner stuff than you look to be.’

Honestly, I don’t know what part to highlight about this:

1. The fact that the Shire apparently has a saying about how people look like what they do, implying that they either go by the physiognomy theory of “bad people look bad”, or they accept that people will look like the jobs they do, and it is considered a good thing.

2. Pippin joking that a few days camping will make them look weathered like a guy who has been repetitively described as being the epitome of a wild ranger. It’s kind of sweet, it feels like he has picked up that Strider is self-conscious about his looks and is trying to reassure him in a very Pippin way.

3. Strider taking it completely literally and answering with a very ominous “you’ll die before you look like me, because you need to be stronger than you look to survive what I do”. Dramatic bitch.

4. Strider talking about himself in third person. Dork.

5. Strider completely underestimating hobbits’ resilience. Just because he has been around the Shire for ages it doesn’t mean he can’t fall into the same trap every other character in this falls. No, Strider. They don’t have to be made of sterner stuff to survive what you have survived. You would have to be made of sterner stuff to survive what they can get through.

lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship

when gandalf and the dwarves arrived at bag end

this always happens btw.

i am literally begging someone to do a side-by-side gif comparison of 

a) Elrond fighting the ring-wraiths in The Hobbit vs Aragorn fighting them in The Fellowship (besides obvious parallels they move!! the same!! way!!) 

b) Elrond commanding the archers at the Battle of Five Armies vs Aragorn commanding the archers at Helm’s Deep

I just have a lot of feelings about how Elrond’s fingerprints are all over Aragorn everywhere you look and how it’s very clear that he taught him medicine and music and how to lead an army. My boy was singing about Luthien late at night during Fellowship and you cannot tell me that he didn’t learn that from Elrond as a bedtime story. I have FEELINGS, okay.
