What's Happening???

I do think i've heard that tale a time or two

What a character!

 

good old Bilbo's great great granduncle Bandobras, second son of Thrain Isumbras III, and the tallest recorded hobbit at 4 feet 5 inches, until Merry and Pippin drank the ent-Draughts and grew taller than any other hobbits known

 

I think Galadriel was my favorite

 

And I really wouldn't want to be a hobbit

 

And a lot of people don't know that she was a keeper of one of the 3 Elf-Rings of power. in her case Nenya - The Ring of Adamant, wife of Celeborn, and youngest child (and only daughter) of Finarfin, and one of the few of her generation that didn't take part in the Kinslaying at Alqualonde.

 

Galadriel is something special

Being an elf would be much more interesting but the hobbits really know how to eat, drink, and be merry and I like that

 

Eowyn was pretty cool too. She was fierce

 

Are you going by the books? Because in the movies, it seemed like Frodo was in a perpetual state of concern.

 

Also, Galadriel is Arwen's grandmother.

 

Frodo was also being worn down by the weight of carrying the ring. Even not wearing it, its presence was described as 'oppressive' and 'whispering dark thoughts.' It's why Men were so corruptible by it, actually, and why it took so long to turn Trahald/Smeagol into Gollum, is because of hobbit's almost inborn good nature let them resist it.

 

Fiesty

But you gotta be if you want a guy like Faramir

 

He was perfectly cheery before being given a very serious hero's quest

 

Smeagol possessed the one ring for a little over half of a millenia (approx age of 589 or 590 when he died.. well past standards of hobbits, even the notoriously long-lived Stoors, whom his people later went on to become).. and that was after it'd lain dormant for 2500 years in the mud at the bottom of the River Anduin after Isildur lost it.. so yeah. I'd say Frodo getting a case of perpetual concern'd be perfectly in line with carrying an artifact containing a portion of the soul of a fallen Maia in it.

It even wore down Bilbo, and after he came back from his misadventure with the dwarves, he kept it more or less safely hidden away. even then, it 'wore upon him' and made him feel 'strained, and stretched thin, like butter scraped over too much bread'

 

'what's happening now?' 'apparently a meeting of the HF book club to discuss The works of Tolkien.' lol

 

Sticklebats! Where is that boy?

 

out in the woods, along the path, under a tree and reading a book, waiting for Gandalf.

 

Probably hangin with Tom Bombadil and ol' Fatty Lumpkins

But only in the book of course

 

I had a cat named Fatty Lumpkins once

 

Did it actually respond to that when you called it that name?

 

Well it was a cat, so it responded to..food. Lol
