'...Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam...'
-"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", by J.R.R. Tolkien
Last but not least in my countdown of favorite Two Towers scenes is Sam's speech to Frodo in Osgiliath. A scene that isn't really in the books, but that embodies and enhances the spirit of Tolkien beautifully. It's a perfect, comforting resolution to Frodo's moment of complete despair earlier, and accompanies perfectly the simultaneous moments of triumph at Isengard and at Helm's Deep. And I'm sure I'm not alone in saying this, but it's also a scene I turn to when I find myself sad and despondent at the state of the world. A true testament to Sam's role as a support and a rock, not just for Frodo, but for the readers and viewers as well.

...and so Sam struggled on as best he could, having no guidance but the will to climb as high as might be before his strength gave out and his will broke.
-"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", by J.R.R. Tolkien
A scene that probably is a favorite for many; one that epitomizes more than any other the power of friendship; and in my opinion, Sam's most heroic moment.
It brings me back to the first film, when Saruman mocked Gandalf for thinking hobbits could ever contend with the will of Sauron. This scene proves that Gandalf was right, and Saruman wrong: in their own way, the willpower of hobbits IS strong enough to shake the foundations of evil itself.
this is an old animation but i love them <33
concerning hobbits? yeah i guess they are pretty concerning
still tryna get the hang of procreate rn. in the meantime, MORE HOBBITS!!!! (click for better quality bc tumblr crunched it)
sketch under the cut:
Can we talk about how touch starved these two probably were and how they always found comfort in each others arms even in the worst situations?
First of all, I need to comment on the statement that LOTR TV show is the 'next Game of Thrones' because GOT was the 'next Lord of the Rings' from the very beginning. It feels belittling to a book or a movie to say that it is the next (blank). I dislike the fact that a classic like LOTR can be called the 'next (blank)'. GOT maybe, because it is relatively new, but LOTR no, because it is far more loved and has always been 'the older brother of GOT'. I hope you understood what were the points I tried to make. Next comes the thought of the TV show itself. WE DON'T WANT IT AND WE DON'T NEED IT. The only good it will bring is the fact that the fandom will come alive again. But just like the Death Note fandom it will come alive so it can discuss the failure that the show will be. Lord of the Rings without the cast? The music? Hell, this was one of those adaptations that wasn't completely hated by the fandom and now you're telling me we need a new one that will be? Luckily, nothing is fully decided yet and who knows maybe the show never happens but if it does it will be instantly dismissed and hated as an adaptation that is supposed to 'replace' or 'be better' than the first one. I don't know what is up with movie and show creators but their lack of original content baffles me. Still, I know I shouldn't dislike something that doesn't exist yet, but I can dislike the idea of the LOTR show. Maybe it will be better (who am I kidding?), maybe worse or perhaps equal to the movies and/or books. All I will say there are better things to waste money on.
they’re in love your honor…
“That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.” -Samwise Gamgee
I’m feminine like the girl from The Ring and masculine like Mr. Rogers but most of all I’m queer like Gonzo the Great launching himself out of a cannon. Final girl scream coming out the mouth of Samwise Gamgee but mainly just felt with an attitude. Feminine rage and girlhood terror radiating from a man who couldn’t intimidate bunny rabbit with muppet-esque chaotic queerness.
This is how I feel my gender in my spleen (the organ I arbitrarily decided my gender identity comes from) but to anyone who asks I’m a trans guy who comes off as really gay.
The happiness these pictures bring me
Just some of my favorite BTS photos from The Hobbit and LOTR!
so I had a brainstorm idea last night for an au of what if Bilbo wasn’t as old as he was by lotr and he end up coming along in the fellowship.. the more adventure experienced hobbit now having to herd 4 young hobbits-
(AU: The 10th companion)
now frodo has two caretakers, making sure he eats and is hydrated <3

au: the 10th companion
a quick drawing of the hobbits, being lead by bilbo. had the hc that hobbits like to go in groups (hold hands to stay together when nervous) so heres them huddled together

I recently started watching Dungeon Meshi and somehow came up with this crossover and I just had to draw it haha
Imagine being in the mines of Moria with the fellowship.
Pippin: Are we lost?
Merry: No
Pippin: I think we are
Merry: *shushes him*
Y/N: Gandalf's thinking.
Frodo: *notices Gollum* Y/N, Gandalf! There's something down there.
Y/N: *turns to Gandalf* You wanna take this one?
Gandalf: *mutters* Not unless you wish to tell me the way.
Y/N: *grins* When in doubt Gandalf, when in doubt.
Turns to Frodo
Y/N: My dear, that would be Gollum.
Frodo: Gollum?
Y/N: Yes, I think he’s been following us for three days now. Probably set free from the dungeons of Barad-dûr. He wants what you carry upon your neck.
Frodo: The Ring?
Y/N: Yes, he will spend the rest of his life following where the ring goes, for he loves and hates the ring. Just as he loves and hates himself.
Gandalf: Sméagol’s story is quite a sad one.
Frodo: Sméagol?
Y/N: Yes, that was what he was called. Before the Ring found him, and drove him mad.
Frodo: Pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance.
Y/N: Pity? No my dear boy.
Gandalf: It was pity that stilled Bilbo’s hand.
Y/N: *grits her teeth* Many that live deserve death
Legolas and Gimli : *both look at Y/N and frown*
Gandalf: And some that that die, deserve life. Can you give it to them Frodo?
Y/N: Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgement dear one. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.
Gandalf: *narrows his eyes at Y/N before turning back to Frodo* My heart tells me there is still some part for Gollum to play whether for ill or for good.
Y/N: The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.
Frodo: I wish the ring never came to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not up to them to decide.
Y/N: All we can do, is to decide what to do with the time that was given to us.
Gandalf: There are other forces at work in this world and out of it Frodo, *glances at Y/N* besides the will of evil.
Y/N: Bilbo was meant to find the ring, and therefore you were meant to carry it. *grins down at Frodo* Now isn't that an encouraging thought?
Gandalf: Ah its that way!
Merry: He’s remembered!
Gandalf and Y/N: No.
Gandalf: But the air doesn’t smell so foul down here.
Y/N: *grins at Gandalf* When in doubt my friends, follow your nose.
Legolas: I thought it was follow your heart.
Aragorn: As did I
Y/N: Now now my dear friends, your heart goes third and your nose goes second!
Legolas: *puzzled* Then what goes first?
Both grin and look at each other
Aragorn: Her stomach.
Y/N: My stomach.
Sam: Quite wise of you miss Y/N.
Y/N: Thank you Sam.
All walk through the tunnel.
Legolas: *to Aragorn* Do you know what Y/N likes to eat?
Aragorn: Anything that she can get her hands on. Why so curious Legolas.
Legolas: *hurriedly* Just want to know what fuels such a dwarf sized human.
Y/N: I heard that.
