THE LORD OF THE RINGS: The Return of the King (2003) dir. Peter Jackson.
Frodo: I don't mind being associated with Brandybucks.
Merry: Well, we mind being associated with you.
Heights of the Fellowship
At one point on their journey, Merry (with a suspiciously innocent look on his face) wonders aloud which of the Fellowship is the tallest.
Naturally, this sparks an argument. Legolas, Aragorn, and Boromir immediately jump up to compare. Boromir should not have, for it is found that he is an inch shorter than the other two. He spends the rest of the argument sulking a ways off from the rest of the party.
Legolas and Aragorn, for their part, are the exact same height, and yet both insist that they are the taller. It is pointed out that all three are wearing boots and a remeasurement is taken. Their boots have the same heel.
Gandalf, for his part, is sitting on a rock, puffing serenely on his pipe, insisting that his hat should count in his height.
The Hobbits and Gimli snicker and feed the fire whenever they can.
I love Faramir but Eowyn and Merry should have ended up together honestly
Cari and I just watched the Fellowship of The Ring and she had the audacity to call Boromir ‘Weak-willed”
I SAID SORRY!!!! I LOVE HIM I THINK HES GREAT!!!
-Aragorn was so far removed from society that he really only desired one thing
- which by this point he already had, and only lost later
-then he was so determined to ‘save the day’ and not think about his ex that he didn't have time to listen to the ring
- Legolas ia an elf, he was raised among the splendor and beauty of Mirkwood Forest
- He loves his people, sure, but he's also been off on his own for a couple decades now
- he also MET Gollum, he saw what the ring did to him
-it is my belief that Gimli just didn't want to look weak in front of all the elves
-The hobbits have proven to be really hard to convert if they're not actively touching it
-Sam was so filled with love for his friend, and all he could see was the harm it was causing Frodo
-Pippin is enamored by the Palantir but the ring’s importance was lost to him
-He was more concerned with people than this one thing
- Merry knew better than Pippin, but he was motivated by his love for his cousin and friend
Boromir was tempted because he believed the quest was suicide. He wanted to protect his people and thought that the ring would help. The Ring was able to tempt him because he knew Gondor was in danger
where are our boys traveling to? 🍻
(Pippin will totally ask for them to stop at every pub anyway)
« Pippin, everyone knows I’m the tall one, you’re the short one »
Little drawing of my favorite people
I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.
My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813
*electric guitar riff*
And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like
silly little hobbitses
My amazing friend and incredible poet of a person wrote these heartbreaking words, and as soon as I read it, I immediately asked if I could illustrate it. And she said yes!
Read "To the Bitter End" here on AO3. Please please go give her some love (I generally don't even like poetry that much, but she is slowly changing my mind XD)
I'm also working on a second part to this, but I've had to slow down work on that one. It's coming soon!
also, tagging @frodo-with-glasses bc meg commanded it
Super rough Fellowship ! I’ve been doodling members inbetween things for the past few weeks and I finally decided to put them all together. Maybe I’ll try to render it correctly at one point, but for now I’ll leave this here as is.
middle earth has no idea what they’re in for
've got a desire to sketch these 4 for my animalistic au. I will try to color it properly eventually.
Happy Hobbit Day! :D
This one was a beast, but man it was fun.
Once again, the poetry is from my super cool friend, Meg. Who also wrote the poem for this set of drawings. Though, if you asked her, she'd just tell you that she only rhymed what Tolkien wrote in the House of Healing chapter. Regardless, scream some love in the comments for her!
Update! The poem has now been posted on AO3!
Or- check out her other poems and writings here! She's got a bunch!
With that being said, thank you, Meg, for giving me the proper outlet to draw this scene. I would not have been able to get nearly this far or include this much emotion without you <3
the lord of the rings autism got me
what if the fellowship went winter camping? 🏕❄
I just wanna draw kids being cute. That's all
They convince Sam to stay for First Breakfast, and Bilbo sends him home with a basket of raspberry tarts as an apology for worrying his mom.
