Other arguments I imagine the Fellowship having:

1) Pippin professes atheism, argues so persuasively he somehow manages to get GANDALF to second guess himself for a split second

2) “what if we put the Ring in a catapult & launched it into Mount Doom from a distance”: dismissed as a serious plan very quickly due to high margin for error but the argument simmers for several days as Gandalf refuses to concede that it would work in theory. (Pippin also started this one.)

3) Who Started It: Legolas or Gimli edition

4) Who Started It: Merry or Pippin edition

5) Who ate the last *insert food item here* I know it was one of your four FESS UP (one time it was actually Gandalf, he never fessed up)

6) Legolas is mad at Gimli but whenever anyone asks why he just says ‘the dwarf knows what he did’ (Gimli hasn’t a clue)

7) who made Sam cry??

8) Relative attractiveness of beards

i dont want ‘who made sam cry to be a common argument’
but to be fair he cries a lot
so the others might not even have done anything deliberately

Somebody made Sam cry one (1) time early on & after that every time he cries the entire company starts slinging accusations like there’s no tomorrow

Further thoughts:

1) although Pippin started the catapult argument the ppl who keep it going are Frodo and Boromir (both of whom were momentarily 100% down with it until they realised what a horrible idea it would be in practice, ie miss & the Ring is just lying about in Mordor for any orc to grab)

2) the beard argument:

pro-beards: gandalf, aragorn, boromir, gimli, pippin

anti-beards: legolas, merry, frodo, sam

it’s all fun and games till one of the hobbits calls beards ‘unsightly’ and Gimi shoots back ‘that’s a bit rich coming from someone with that much fOOT HAIR’ and after that it is fucking ON and once the dust settles certain people don’t speak to certain other people for like 3 days

Sam: *bursts into tears because idk he just does that sometimes*

Frodo: For fuck’s sake Sam just yesterday you were crying about snakes.

Sam, bawling: They don’t have any arms Mr. Frodo!

Pippin: isn’t a dragon a snake with arms

Sam: *thinks about that for a moment*

Sam: *bursts into tears all over again*

Frodo: sam please

fuck-yeah-middle-earth:

Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A Sword Day… a Red Day… ere the sun rises!

me: hahaha i’ve seen lord of the rings a thousand times, i doubt i’ll even get emotional this time
frodo: oh, sam
me, visibly holding back tears: fuck you

Ideas for the Lord of the Rings TV series

sarahexplosions:

All-female cast

Musical-Dramedy using both songs from the books and original songs

Legolas/Gimli Pride and Prejudice AU

A fairly straightforward adaptation but with interviews and *looks at the camera*

Narration by Tom Bombadil

The series is told from the point of view of the horses

Feel free to add your own.

each episode is an exploration of how Aragorn got a different name

Each episode is shot like a Travel or History Channel show, with the Hobbits doing Bizarre Foods-style segments, Boromir doing ludicrous military history recreations, and Aragorn doing some of those silly survivalist segments where they show you how to make sandwiches out of fish guts and cattails. Legolas and Gimli host segments about major sightseeing opportunities, since in the book they’re basically tourists anyway.

The journey through Moria is one big episode of Ghost Adventures.

I wonder if people will ever say, ‘let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring.’ And they’ll say ‘yes, that’s one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn’t he, dad.’ ‘Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that’s saying alot.’

tearlessrain:

One of the best things about Gimli going to Valinor is the way it happened. Like if he’d been invited to go along on one of the swan boats by Galadriel or something that would be reasonable, still completely unheard of but it makes sense that someone like her could talk the Valar into letting him in. But no, he goes with freaking Legolas. Legolas, who was eloquently described in one post as “the baby gay dudebro redneck of the elves.” Legolas, who missed all the boats to Valinor because he was running around having adventures, and then when he decided to finally go, having never seen the ocean in his life, went “I’ll just build my own boat how hard can it be” and presumably just showed up to Valinor 15 decades late on what I like to imagine was a barely seaworthy disaster of a boat and some random dwarf in tow like “this is fine right?” in the ugliest Sindarin accent ever to grace its white shores.

The implication being that the Valar, when confronted with this situation, all shrugged wearily and said “sure, why not.”
