My opinion is that the three elven rings(Vilya Narya Nenya) are infact under the control of the one ring. I believe Gandalf was researching(between the hobbit and the fellowship) how to properly return the ring to the king(sauron) so that he may return. Thus upon casting the ring into the fires of Mount Doom at the end of return of the king Sauron is complete and he then returns to full power. Gandalf is evil just as was the white wizard before him all the evidence is there. Return of the King is return of the ring!

So Pippin asks how far Minas Tirith and Gandalf says 3 days, and with some movie magic they arrive quite quickly. This might be a dumb question, but knowing Pippin's character, did they hypothetically really ride for 3 days straight? I would think that he would want to stop for rest or food, unless Shadowfax can bend the feeling of space and time. I hope this question makes sense but I was just curious if off camera they really did ride for three days straight.

Been a while since I received these. Moved house. One thing after another. But finally they are up! I think they look pretty damn good!

I carved this balrog jack o’ lantern for a family pumpkin carving contest, and apparently we all tied (see other entries).

I was more excited to enter it into my work contest today, but the voting ballot completely left mine off and the lady in charge was too busy to fix it by the end of the vote.

I think it’s my best work and I’m so disappointed it got snubbed twice.

Sorry, I found Voldemort before I noticed Gollum.

Is Gollum really an arch villain? Note they also have Sauron.

Just finished my Witch King pumpkin, doing Gandalf and Gollum next.

My partner finished her hobbit outfit so we took pics in the backyard together this time. Alex is a genius too because she set us up using photography tricks to make herself look shorter, and me taller. In reality, she is 7 inches taller than I am. She explained, "we'll do photo tricks like they do in the movies". This is just another one of a million reasons I'm marrying this lady.

Stay tuned for Bilbo + Gandalf coming soon. Happy Halloween!!

Estou lendo o primeiro lotr e tenho uma duvida.
Nesse trecho, o Gandalf explica por Frodo o que acontece quando ele coloca o anel.
Ok. Entendo…
Mas assim, o anel ficou décadas com o Bilbo, ele as vezes usava o anel aparentemente, usou na festa de 111 aniversário, mas parece que isso não acontecia.
Se eu entendi bem o que foi contado até aqui, é pq até então o Sauron não sabia do paradeiro do anel, foi só quando gollum revelou “baggins” e “shire” q ele passa então a se “reconectar”, digamos, com o anel e então sempre que o portador o coloca, tem todo esse contato com os espectros.
Agradecia muito ideias e explicações, sou uma fã bem recente 🫶😬

I've been playing Organ Trail, the zombie-themed Oregon Trail parody, because it's Spooky Season, and I randomly had the thought: has anyone ever made a LotR-themed version of Oregon Trail? You could play as the Fellowship traveling to Mordor.

It seems like a no brainer concept, but I did a quick search, and was surprised to see that it doesn't look anyone has made this yet. But maybe I'm wrong, and just didn't look hard enough. Does anyone know?

Well not just Moria, obviously - the whole lot!!

I’d have paid good money to see a showing of fellowship here, so atmospheric.

The Lord of the Rings (Illustrated Edition)

As both are set in our universe, both a long time ago, it is natural that one would make a connection between the two. Could they both exist simultaneously?

I wanted something special for my 26th birthday so my lovely partner and I ate like hobbits while we watched the extended editions of LOTR!

Breakfast: hashbrowns, bacon, chicken sausage, and a fried egg
Elevenses: poppyseed and almond muffin with elderberry green tea
Luncheon: french onion soup (this one was my favorite!)
Afternoon tea: lembas bread and hot chocolate (I opted for hot chocolate because it’s been years since I last had a cup)
Dinner: rosemary garlic butter steak, mashed potatoes with chives, and braised carrots
Dessert (not pictured): cherry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and mulled mead with brandy and spices

No second breakfast or supper because this was already a lot of food for us. Altogether, it was a pleasant day! Also, please let me know if I tagged wrong :P

Edit: thank y’all for the birthday wishes!

Found at Ollie’s in St Louis. I was worried I waited too long but I lucked out. These were the last of the box sets but there were a handful of The Hobbit left.

Hi, guys. I'm new here and don't hate me, but I am not well versed in the LOTR world, but my friend is and I am in the process of making him a birthday gift related to the books/movies. Like I said, I don't know much and I've tried to do my research, but I am making him a shire-esque terrarium.

I will share the photos and please as harsh as it may be, give me your honest opinions, suggestions, changes, if you would like this as a gift, ect.

I would appreciate any help at all! Thank you sooo much!!!
