I Love How The Entrance To Rivendell Is Shown In The Hobbit Movies The Path Is Clearly Enchanted; The

I love how the entrance to Rivendell is shown in the Hobbit movies– the path is clearly enchanted; the geography is wonky, and the passage only shows up when Thorin & co really need to escape danger.

I feel like this is just how Rivendell works– there are no set pathways in and out of the valley, strange corridors and hidden passages to it just show up when and where they're needed. People who have been to Rivendell before can usually find their way back pretty easily, but even they usually can't explain exactly how they got there. Only the residents of Rivendell can reliably lead others to the valley– and Galadriel, because she's Galadriel. It usually takes Gandalf a while to find the path. He's convinced Elrond just like messing with him.

This is very much Elrond channeling his inner Melian. Doriath was extremely hard to get into, but in the normal fairy way where you just get lost in the woods endlessly if you're not welcome, and the forest parts for you if you are. Elrond saw that and decided to spice things up a little for his realm. You know, some impossible rock formations, a few very strange trees, landscaping that is vaguely beyond mortal comprehension, all that.

Rivendell's residents think it's great. Most outsiders think it's a little creepy.

NO BUT SERIOUSLY WHY IS HE WORKING A 9-5 THAT'S A WHOLE ASS CHILD

I just wanna say getting misha before even getting to penacony DEFINITELY made me way more invested in him then most of the penacony characters weve seen so far. Hes also a main stay on my team most of the time cause somehow hes one of the best damage dealers i have. If anything bad happens to misha i might implode and die no joke

Why do witches like always wanna fatten kids up before they eat them?? fat is like the grossest part of meat

Want the answer? I’ll give it to you. This whole thing is just fate playing a cruel joke on us.

Ok, so I was reading this news story:

So far so normal, right? But then:

Like what. And then:

Like, I think Alaska State Trooper Ken Marsh wants to be a romance novelist.
