    my friend had a dog named Bilbo, but we would call him Dildo when he was being bad (which was very often). Never read/watched the lord of the rings so that’s my only context for this and I think it’s even funnier because dogs LOVE to scream at doors

    I empathize most with Gimli because he goes along but complains a lot.

      Gimli is the best. When he met the elves of Lórien, not only did he eventually reject his lifelong prejudices, but he asked only a symbol of friendship from Galadriel, simultaneously inflicting upon Fëanor the biggest fucking burn since Eru’s diss track of Melkor.

    Me as an adult: wait… so the orcs are born as adults, immediately get set to work like slaves, live miserable lives, then get used as fodder for the war machine? Their average lifespan must be just a handful of years. I think they may be the real victims here.

    Legolas only misses once in the movie, while Bilbo objects but 13 strangers still come in.
