This woman made a miniature Bag End and it is so friggin’ cool and detailed, I can’t even…
To see more pictures and read about the incredible process, check over here! She actually added a bit at the bottom describing the actual process - with pictures! - so maybe you can make your own miniature hobbit hole too ^_^
older lotr illustrations sometimes depict éowyn wearing ridiculously small armour. apart from the problem general sexualisation of the only female character (who really does anything), there’s another hilarious thought:
éowyn pretended to be dernhelm, a man. to fit in, she must have worn men’s armor. so the armor in the illustrations is normal for rohirrim.
there’s a thundering sound in the distance as the rohirrim ride into war but rather than hoofbeats it’s the collective sound of all their cheeks clapping
the artist for this particular piece is Frank Frazetta and to be fair to him this is how he drew the orcs armor
so the rohirrim comment is probably not that far off
That’s a man who just straight up had a problem with the concept of wearing pants into battle, and I respect that
male or female
hero or villain
sea or land
even in the snow
I guarantee you Frazetta’s Rohirrim were 100% pants-free
Good Old Frank. That man loved bodies and hated clothes so much
Frank Frazetta was the reason He-Man was designed like that; the producers conduct a study to see what art appeal the most to children, and Frank’s work came out on top in popularity. So everyone in He-Man is dressed the way they are directly because of Frazetta.
That man gave us the gift of warrior thighs and tits for everyone.
Ah, it has been too long since I have seen the no pants post on my dash. And yes, this is a rare case where it wasn’t some sexist nonsense but an egalitarian No Pants Agenda.
Boromir: *lying awake one night* Hey Merry. you awake.
Merry: ?I am now

Merry: …hobbit… babies?
Boromir: yes those, what do you call them?
Merry: hobbit babies.
Boromir: yes but what are they CALLED.
Merry: hobbit. babies.
Boromir: but what are they called?
Merry: I give up *goes back to sleep*
Boromir: *staring up at the sky* I still don’t know what they’re called
~next morning~
Merry: hey Boromir
Boromir: hm?
Merry: last night. did you wake me up. to ask me what hobbit babies are called.
Merry: or did I dream that
Boromir: ………………….you never answered the question
Merry: yes I did
Boromir: no you didn’t
Merry: Frodo. Sam. Anyone. please help.
Sam: Mr Merry what the fresh hell are you talking about
Merry: Sam tell Boromir what we call baby hobbits
Sam: ……you mean… babies?
Merry: exactly
Boromir: ………….OH
Boromir: I thought. there might be a special word.
Sam: no we just call them babies why would there be a special word
Merry: what would it even… be
Boromir: I don’t know that’s why I was ASKING

SWOL DUDEBRO IS READY TO THROW DOWN, SHOULD HAVE LET HIM CURL IN PEACE
HOW MANY TIMES THIS BOY GOTTA GET STABBED IN ONE MOVIE
When Hobbits Attack 2: This Time, It’s Personal
Sam casually groping his bro hobbit, as bro hobbits do
if that’s a dragon shadow and dragon noises Ima lose my shit a little bit
oh nvm it’s just a literal fuckin hive of orcs
now this here is what one might refer to as a pickle
DON’T TELL ME THAT ISN’T A DRAGON COMING
sidenote this is literally that room of the castle in Shrek where the dragon’s chasing them and gets tangled in her chains
was kinda expecting someone to fall to their death. am pleasantly surprised.
GODDAMNIT
I WANTED A DRAGON
And speaking of pronouns, flat-out my favorite part of the LOTR Appendices is when it’s revealed that the Gondorian dialect of the Common Speech differentiates between formal and informal second-person pronouns but the distinction’s been lost in the Hobbit’s dialect, so Pippin’s blithely been using familiar terms of address with the Lord of the City, and thus helps to explain both why the Gondorians are so ready to assume he’s a prince and why Denethor finds him so amusing to have around.
not what i expected from a post that began with “speaking of pronouns,” but an a++ show of the versatility and surprise daily available on tumblr dot com
are you telling me Pippin says “y’all”
“can you pass the mead fam”
In LOTR the word ‘man’ is only used for human men so now I’m imagining like
Someone: are you a man or a woman?
Pippin: I’m a hobbit
Someone: but what’s in your trousers
Pippin: mostly snacks
Sam: How do you know about Gandalf?
Bucky: I read The Hobbit when it came out in 1937.
Sam: You must've loved Lord of the Rings then.
Bucky: What's Lord of the Rings?
Sam: The sequel.
Bucky:
my heart absolutely breaks for gaza. imagine screaming for help. for someone to save you and the world ignores you for the most part. shame on anyone and everyone who supports this. where is your empathy.
