I Think That Banana Bread Is A Very Hobbit-like Food. I Could Imagine Bilbo Having A Slice With His Tea.

It's an open notes test and some dense motherfuckers still can't figure out the answers.

On the one hand I feel like movie Bilbo (as in younger Bilbo in the Hobbit) doesn't get nearly enough physical affection, especially in comparison to the other hobbits in LOTR. On the other hand I kind of feel like if Boromir had called Bilbo "little one" and ruffled his hair like he does to Frodo, Bilbo might have decided to punch him in the dick

I think a lot of people are getting the wrong idea when they call Tolkien a freak because he invented this elaborate framing device whereby the Red Book of Westmarch was actually written by Bilbo and Frodo (with some addenda by Sam) and he, Tolkien, was merely an editor and translator. Throughout history it's actually been a very common literary device for an author to represent their work as having been written by a character who appears in the story, with the author themselves variously positioned as a translator, editor, and/or literary executor. At the time that Tolkien was writing, such a device would have been seen as somewhat old-fashioned, but certainly not eccentric. Like, Tolkien was definitely a freak, but not for that reason.

Arya pasted “Durza” into all the dictionaries and thesauruses she and Glen have in the flat for the definition of Sadist and Glen doesn’t discover it till like…the next time Eragon and Co are in Ellesméra for war resupply.

Glen: Really?

Arya: *looks up sees what he’s showing her, starts giggling* Hey, at least I think I’m funny.

I have relinquished myself to bagginsheild

Boromir: Today I realised I'm old Aragorn: What happened? Boromir: I slipped and fell on something and instead of laughing, Merry came running to see if I was ok Aragorn: Boromir: I saw fear in his eyes

Gandalf: So I’ve developed an elaborate plan to save middle earth from darkness

Elrond: does it-

Gandalf: it involves hobbits again yeah

There is litterally not a single fandom more dedicated than bbc Merlin and it’s not even close. That shit ended unsatisfactory 13 years ago, yet people are still posting memes and fan fictions like it’s still being released. It’s almost inspiring.
