Cease to Hope posted:elrond wants to do this but gandalf convinces him that merry and pippin's closeness with frodo make them more valuable Oh right, five failsons. indigi posted:yeah but that’s kind of my point, it’s not like he’s tracking everyone with GPS. even someone with the blood of Isildur is completely unknown to him. I can see why Gandalf using some spells in the vicinity of Mordor might ping his alarm system but as long as Glorfy doesn’t go about singing Noldor songs across the plains of Gorgoroth he should be fine. or send Elladan and Elrohir if you’re worried, nobody knows what those dorks get up to To anyone with any kind of connection to the spirit world Glorfindel shines like a goddamn floodlight, because he's a prince of the far-gone days who has lived under the Light of the Two Trees alongside the Valar in Aman. He's not treading lightly anywhere. Lemniscate Blue fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Jun 14, 2021 |

Failsons at the start, I mean. They grew up, literally and figuratively, quite a lot and I love both their arcs. But at the start of the story? Merry had a half-decent head in his shoulders but neither of them were anything more than candidates for Upper-Class Twit of the Year, Shire Edition.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Gandalf was NOT Manwë he was a maia. He was sent across the ocean as an angel to guide, aide, and defend the denizens of Middle-earth, and he was a maia to Aulë. God Saruman was the Maia of Aulë. Olórin lived in the gardens of Lórien and liked to hang out with Nienna. I always thought it was interesting that both Sauron and Saruman had been originally associated with Aulë, who himself had something of an ambitious nature (c.f. the creation of the Dwarves, although that turned out okay because he'd just got carried away). Tolkien's sensibilities definitely included seeing craft and making as something that could lead one astray if left unchecked.

Recreate the various family trees on poster board and just point to the right name every time someone gets talked about in the text. I pretty much had to keep flipping back to them when I read it the first time. And most of the other times too.

Fake Name posted:I was listening to the Andy Serkis audio books in the car with my mother and she reminded me that we used to have a collection of tapes of the bbc dramatisation that she had taped off the radio, and it turns out someone has uploaded them all to the Internet archive. Its pretty good so far! Ian Holm is Frodo and Bill Nighy is Samwise I got bad corneal abrasion one summer and had to spend a couple days with my eyes covered while it healed because light was excruciatingly painful. Among other things I listened to this version (on CD) to pass the time. I'm sure the next time I listen to them it will be digital rather than on disc but I still keep the boxed set out of a sense of nostalgia. It's excellent, and people should listen to it.
