The voyage west at the end of Return of the King is extremely funny to me, because just look at who's on board. You've got:

  • Frodo Baggins, hero of the Shire, in need of healing but also excited to see Valinor and meet the legendary elves who live there, a gentle soul
  • Elrond Halfelven, as kind as a summer, looking forward to peace west of the sea, probably wants to go chill out in a cottage with his wife for the next thousand years

Which seems fine. And then we get to everyone else.

  • Gandalf, cheeky bastard who's gotten so used to being a weird old wizard in Middle-Earth that's he's forgotten what Maia are supposed to act like, will immediately cause problems
  • Bilbo Baggins, noted storyteller, definitely planning to break into Aule's halls to see his dwarf friends, will ask all the elves weird questions and then sing about their lives and deaths in front of them, will immediately cause problems
  • Galadriel, who came to Aman half for Celebrian and Elrond's sake and half to taunt all her cousins about being the only one of them to survive the First Age, enjoys causing problems, will immediately cause many problems

(Also, to be clear, these are not three isolated problem-causers, they absolutely spent the entire trip to Valinor actively planning to give Amanyar society and the Valar an aneurysm.)

I just love the idea of Elrond, now reunited with Celebrian, and Frodo happily having tea with Elwing and Earendil, with nothing to interrupt them but the gentle sounds of the tides.

Meanwhile Galariel, Bilbo, and Gandalf are collectively bullying Mandos into releasing Maglor Feanorian from the halls because:

  • Bilbo wants to read him his translation of the Noldolante, which is written as a cheery Hobbit drinking song
  • Elrond always complained about how Gandalf and Maglor were both insufferably vague about advice and Gandalf needs to make sure he's more infuriating than Maglor as a matter of his wizardly pride
  • He still owes Galadriel money

I don’t know how I didn’t know that!

I’ve read the hobbit, and seen all six movies

I’m waiting right now for the fellowship to come to my library

Who’s your favorite character? I can’t decide, it depends on the movie/book so far you know?

Ooo fun!!

My fav character in the Hobbit is Smaug. Loved reading him and Benedict Cumberbatch did a great job in the movies!

In LotR my fav movie character is Faramir, and my fav book character is Frodo!

The Fellowship can be a bit of a slow start but it’ll totally be worth it!

I totally hear you, those scenes with Smaug and bilbo are amazing!

Frodo in the movies was hit and miss for me. Idk. I’m so sorry I’m sorry I guess I never really noticed Faramir. Everyone looked so similar I was just trying to figure out a few. When I can watch them again I’ll definitely pay more attention to

Yeah the movies made Frodo more of a wimp than he is in the books. It’s ok, no one ever pays attention to Faramir 😭🤚

I love how Tolkien always punishes the men who mistreat women in Middle-earth. For all the evidence of sexism in his work, besides the amazing female characters he does include, fate in Arda always rewards chivalry and punishes sexual abuse.

One of many things that make Aragorn a hero is that he remains faithful to Arwen, even when being pursued by another woman.

One of many things that make Faramir a hero is that he treats Éowyn as an equal and showers her with the respect she deserves.

And both men live long, happy lives.

Whereas the chauvinists have…different outcomes.

Eöl is punished by death for being so awful a husband to Aredhel that she and their son had to flee from him.

Maeglin himself intentionally gets Gondolin destroyed just because he is lusting after Idril and trying to steal her when she is happily married to someone else, and his ultimate kidnapping attempt causes him to end up at the bottom of a cliff.

Ar-Pharazôn’s comeuppance for forcing Tar-Míriel into marriage and stealing her rightful crown is a total wipeout by Eru Ilúvatar himself.

Tolkien really said “Predators and abusive husbands shall never go unpunished.” 🎉👏🏻
