"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."
"I see no hope of it now. But I've got to do the best I can."
emotional rambling about the end of the tolkien films
you know i just i saw this gif and it ended with frodo smiling in monochrome and it really hit me that this is coming to an end? cinematic wise. like these heroes we’ve watched and anticipated for months to come back on the screen, this cast we’ve tracked through a decade they aren’t going to show up again. there isn’t going to be any more tales on screen of frodo or his uncle, or the other heroes i mean it’s over????? and thinking about it makes me honestly want to cry. i mean the story never is going to end but like – my favorite stories of all time are not going to be brought to life again, at least not in the way that peter jackson could do it. which was really i can’t put into words the impact they’ve had on my life.
i’m just really emotional about it. it makes me think of that quote, “the last pages are for you, ” and how the story is passed on and just ugh
i love so many fandoms but what grips my heart and makes me shed tears like on autopilot is this group of stories, particularly frodo’s journey – and the journey that led up to it. like it almost made me cry today?????????? these stories have changed my life and frodo’s journey has really like been such an inspiration to me when i started getting really really ill and that was back when i was still pretty young at heart and just – yeah man. they really are the stories that really mattered, at least, to all of us who love them, right?
sorry this is corny i just if you ever ask lizzie what her favorite films and stories are she will always say the lord of the rings/the hobbit.
