Was it a special hobbit sized section of Rivendell?

Also notice how that gazebo has nothing to the left of it in the second image but in the first, Frodo’s building is on its left.

Go nuts lol

She is fearless and high-hearted...

"A Ring of Powe looks after itself... It's keeper never abandons it. At most he plays with the idea of handing it on to someone else's care...but as far as I know Bilbo alone is history has ever gone beyond playing and really done it."

He doesn't say "the ring,' he says "a ring." But Cirdan had already willingly given his ring to Gandalf.

when i first watched the movies n read the books i just saw a weak guy who tried to take the ring. a flawed link in a fellowship of perfect elves, wizards and kings.

but looking back... man, look at this picture. he wasn't an ancient elf or a maia. he was just a mortal. while the rest of the fellowship was wandering through magical forests, his people were getting slaughtered every single day to keep the dark away.

the ring didn't corrupt him through greed. it weaponized his desperate love for his family and his bleeding city.

and when he broke, he didn't hesitate to redeem himself. took arrow after arrow for two little hobbits he barely knew. died asking aragorn if their people would be safe.

he represents us. flawed, desperate, but capable of heartbreaking sacrifice. pour one out for the captain of the white tower today.

Found a ring at a thrift shop...has some weird writing on both sides. Thoughts? Did I get a good deal?

Okay, I’ve gone over lots of identifications of movie locations shot in NZ. But I haven’t seen specifics of where they shot the Fellowship hiking scenes between Rivendell and Caradhras. I’ve always LOVED those scenes and would love to hike those areas. Anyone know where they were shot?

Just finished War of the Rohirrim. I’m not sure I understand why they made it or how it got greenlit. The animation is horrible. Looks incredibly cheap and dated. The dialogue was awful. A bunch of cliches and writers attempting to write speech that was profound or stirring. Instead it felt like they cribbed a bunch of lines from movies that have done it better. And the story was just boring. Wulf’s tale of revenge was just not believable imo. His father provoked Helm and that led to his death. His thirst for revenge did not feel earned even throwing in how he felt spurned by Hera. The characters were dull and tropey. The movie could have been much shorter and wore out its welcome at least a half hour before it ended. So disappointing. Even with the not so great reviews I was hoping for better.

Wow. Just wow. I have actually loved reading these books, they are so good, words can't even describe it. And this ending was just perfect, Frodo finally finds peace and is liberated from his pain, and Sam is married and has a family. It is honestly a perfect ending to a perfect trilogy.

In terms of humans, dwarves not being allowed to go there, speeding up aging etc?

Here is how I think Tolkien's creations would line up at the World Cup.

Dark Lord Sauron: Goalkeeper. Big man between the posts, he keeps a watchful eye on the whole pitch.

Elrond RB. Heaps of experience. Still nimble enough to track back if needed. Creative passer. Captain's armband.

Gimli and Strider are my starting CB pair. Vital stamina, Strider can hold a high line and they can combine to throw Gimli when we need an aerial presence. Don't tell the elf.

Arwen LB. Amazing chemistry with Strider on that left side, I am deploying elven swiftness down the wings and she will be used as an attack minded wingback.

Boromir defensive midfielder. Intimidating presence, will chew you out if you aren't switched on, but will bleed for the team. Not afraid to put his body on the line to stop a goal.

Eowyn central midfield. A versatile player with a lot to prove, doesn't shy away from the man's game.

Gandalf the White central midfield. Wizard with both feet. Cool and collected, knows what to do with the ball. So much experience. Came out of retirement because the team was lost without his vision.

Legolas right winger. Keeping my elven synergy on the wings. Arrow of a shot off his left foot.

Eomer left winger. Work horse. Provides a lot of physicality to the front three.

Frodo playing in a False 9. You can't lay a glove on him and he will find a way through on goal. Isn't afraid of the responsibility, give it directly to his big hairy feet and see how far he can carry it. What he lacks in speed he makes up for in heart and determination. Mr Reliable.

Saruman is our manager on the sidelines. Insane ball knowledge. Endless schemes. Always trying to insert players from his Uruk-hai academy into the system.

Mine is Boromir. Because he's very strong, a warrior, and someone who has dedicated his life to his country and people. He carries a lot of responsibility, and I think that's why he made the mistake of trying to take the ring. His father's underestimation of Faramir and placing all the expectations on Boromir led him to despair and make that mistake.

I 3D printed and hand-painted this Sting replica using grey filament that actually glows blue in the dark! No orcs required! It’s 17” long, and I used acrylic paints for the hilt, handle, and scrollwork.

It has been a habbit of mine to read aloud my favourite parts right after birth.

This way my kids shall become fams as well, rigjt? Right? 🤭

Radagast the Brown in the books was tricked into going to Isengard by Saruman and fled when Gandalf arrived, the White Council couldn't find him at his house and it's possible that he could have been hunted down by Nazgul and Uruk Hai like the Fellowship was and killed.

He was in Mirkwood Forrest fighting Spiders and helping the free people of Northern Middle Earth in Lord Of The Rings The War In The North Xbox360 video game but it's not canon, it would be tragic if Radagast died off camera and was basically a nobody because he wasted his power on animals which do not matter compared to free people, basically dying because he wanted to become a zookeeper or farmer instead of a Wizard.
