"I should like to save the Shire, if I could - though there have been times when I thought the inhabitants too stupid and dull for words, and have felt that an earthquake or an invasion of dragons might be good for them. But I don't feel like that now. I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again."

Picture time

Dear Eru, after years of being in the LotR fandom, I just got around to drawing these losers.

Now for the ‘what is everyone thinking’ part:

Pippin: This is awesome

Boromir: proud of himself and also loving the fact that he kind of has two kids to take care of

Merry: thinking of ways to trip Boromir or prank him in some way

Aragorn: internally screaming

Legolas: he is super super super happy that he can hug his husband and not have his dad bitch about it

Gimli: he isnt sure if he bitchslap Legolas or enjoy the hug

Frodo and Sam: idk, the usual thing with these two

Gandalf: regreting his life choices
