"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."

“Strangers from distant lands, friends of old, you have been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle Earth stands upon the brink of destruction; none can escape it. You will unite or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate, this one doom.”

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
