@ManSeekingMeaning 11 месяцев назад

I love the deep beauty of this aspect of Legolas. Even the thought of Gimli, who - despite dwarves typically having a longer life than men and hobbits - had aged considerably and was likely little more than a hunched, long bearded (perhaps playfully grumpy) dwarf being led around by an ever young and exuberant Legolas, almost as though he were his caretaker or descendant makes me smile sadly. Every time Gimli would look at Legolas, indeed, he would remember his ‘youth’. One would never guess Legolas was far older than him, or that they’d fought through some of the most perilous and important battles of the Third Age and seen sights together less than a handful could ever claim, or that they were the absolute greatest of friends through a century. It’s.. sad and pretty and beautiful and happy all at once.

@masterexploder9668 Месяц назад

Mortality is actually meant to be a gift from Eru, as they are able to shed their coils and move away to other places, while Elves and Valar are forever stuck here. Even "killing" them with violence or sadness doesn't really get rid of them, they are just sent to the Halls of Mandos and unable to come back to Middle-Earth (with exception of Glorfindel for reasons unknown). For all intents and purposes they are still "dead" but not quite. Finrod after dying from wounds sustained in his duel with Sauron is brought back from Mandos and meets his father again. Meanwhile Feanor who was a pretty bad guy will stay there for a very, very long time. Place is supposed to be very bleak, kind of like Greek Hades or Hebrew Sheol, the underworld.

@12classics39 4 месяца назад

To be frank the family trees in Appendix C are supposed to be incomplete, and since none of the trees even mention Merry’s son (he is only mentioned in Appendix B, and never named), we can easily conclude that Merry, and maybe Pippin too, had multiple children whose names didn’t make it onto the particular record that Tolkien “translated.” I personally like to think that Merry named one of his sons after Théoden and one of his daughters after Éowyn. I somehow get the vibe from Pippin that he and his wife Diamond weren’t sure how they’d feel about parenthood, but after their Faramir was born, they suddenly wanted a bigger family, and named their other sons after Boromir, Beregond, and Bergil, and their daughters after jewels like Diamond. (I’ve read a few fanfics where this is the case - I can’t take credit for the ideas - and I love it so much I’ve made it my headcanon.)

Always moving to think of the friendship of Legolas and Gimli. The former ever-youthful, the latter falling into deep old age. Legolas went from “war buddy” to loving and dedicated caregiver to his aging friend, and was at Gimli’s side when life at last failed in the old Dwarf. One of the most touching elements in Tolkien.

@KS-xk2so 11 месяцев назад

I love the fact that Legolas basically just waits around till all his comrades are gone before he dips West. He felt the call of the sea already, but stuck around to enjoy the peace they fought for with his friends. If Gimli wasn't able to go West I'm sure Legolas would've continued to chill in Middle Earth till he passed on, then sailed West.

Its ingredibly sweet that Legolas would wait on his friend before leaving despite the sea calling him for centuries.

@neogen23 11 месяцев назад

I distinctly remember the feeling I got as a teen when I reached the end of this appendix of the book. Reading the last entry, when Legolas and Gimli sail, leaving Middle Earth behind, left me empty in a way the story's ending couldn't. This was the true ending of the story, the end of an era and the realization that although victory against Sauron was achieved, it didn't mean all was rosy for the winners. The elves left, scars were never healed, friends were separated and I was left with nothing else to read at the last page of an epic book..

@CybershamanX 11 месяцев назад

@@istari0 Who's to say? But somehow I sense there was much regret and sadness at the moment of her end as a mortal. Read that bit about her going to lie down and die. It's heartbreaking. There's definitely regret there. There's also the part about her grave being there on that hill until the world changed and the days in her life being totally forgotten. It's almost saying that her life and what she had done just faded into memory and was completely forgotten. Yes, of course, you could extrapolate however you'd like, but there's definitely something there that reeks of sadness and regret. The "beyond the circles of the world" is kind of Tolkien's way of saying "I honestly don't know what happens after we die". I'm not saying you're wrong. Just that the text doesn't specifically say, but yet it's OK to think of various outcomes. It exercises one's mind. And _that_ is what hooks a lot of people into Tolkien's writings... 😉

@@CybershamanX Tolkien intimated that the souls of mortals reside in the Halls of Mandos for awhile.Then after an undetermined amount of time they are then granted leave from the halls. They then leave the circles of the world and most likely journey to the Timeless Halls of Ilúvatar. That's why it's the gift of Men. Eventually they will be with Eru while the Elves are bound to Arda till the end.

@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger 11 месяцев назад

@@CybershamanX Sadness yes, but I dont think regret. Her decision to die mortal was not taken lightly - she knew her end would be one of immense suffering, but she still chose it over eternal life because of how deeply she loved Aragorn. There is beauty in loss, passion in suffering - experiencing that depth of agony was a testament to the love she felt. There is melancholy in knowing she simply faded away, forgotten in time, but her life ended in the way she chose.

@CybershamanX 11 месяцев назад

@@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger There is _always_ regret involved with a broken heart. She didn't know what was going to happen and she likely would never see her true love ever again. They talked about that earlier, didn't they? The concept of joy for a little time over immortality, right? She said she wanted the joy of togetherness right _now_ knowing that it would more than likely not continue in the end. She was crushed in her final moments over the choice that she had made. The "gift" of Men was "bitter". Of _course_ there was regret there.

For me the most touching and heart-wrenching scenes was the dialogue between Arwen and Aragorn on his deathbed, and how Arwen left for a now deserted Loth Lorien and passed away the following year. Those who left for undying lands could perhaps meet and renew their frindship, but with mortals it was not to happen. They were all gone away, for ever. But she was left behind, alone, the last of her kind. A bitter ending, I felt.

Since the family trees in Appendix C are meant to be incomplete, there’s still a good chance that Pippin had more children. The family trees don’t even mention any of Merry’s children, yet Appendix B reveals he had at least one son who isn’t even named. So clearly a lot is still missing from the family trees that Tolkien was able to “translate.” I personally headcanon that Pippin had many more children: besides Faramir, he had more sons named after Boromir, Beregond and Bergil, and all of his daughters were named after jewels in honor of his wife, and their mother, Diamond.

Tolkien was many things, a man of God, a war veteran, a husband and a father. But he is by far one of the greatest storytellers of all time. Giving his characters endings that we all look back at with happiness. No doubt he's continuing his narrative in heaven.

I know in the Magic the Gathering unboxing vid you mentioned not quite knowing how to feel about your vids being a sleep aide, but I think its 100% a compliment. You have a very nice voice to listen too, and it has the benefit of being relaxing/calming at the same time. Sometimes when I'm still frustrated from something, I'll throw on one of your videos and it helps pull me out of it. I would honestly enjoy hearing some kind of book narrations from you with the range and fun you have with your voice in your videos, (if you ever get the inclination to do so).

It is important to note that king Aragorn pardoned the Easterlings because they were invaders since the first age of Middle Earth; as opposed to make peace with the Haradrim, who were ruthless against Gondor and Arnor during the third age, but also victims of the Numenoreans during the late second age, and thus held a reasonable grudge against the Dunedain.

Something that even big Tolkien fans forget is that in the second half of his reign Tar Elessar rebuilt the north kingdom capitol of Annuminas, which is very close to the Shire, to the north. I'm sure Merry and Pippin were very much involved in that, and their decendants. They actually could go and attend council meetings, it wasn't just a formality.

That long-ago reviewer hit it squarely: ". . . Here are icy beauties that pierce the soul." My one regret on reading the trilogy was that I did not wait until I was twenty-one, and more widely read, to finish it --- I was fifteen. I might have gone far down the FRP-gaming rabbit hole had these been around in early-seventies South Dakota, but the hobby fates led to the Society for Creative Anachronism instead... after which rolling dice felt like doing it by remote control. SCA-Heavy rattan baton games, HEMA, ARMA, and such can help you be a better game DM, once you've been briefly deafened by a sword to your helm and tasted the rust flying off the inside.

I'm pretty sure once Gimli got to the Undying Lands he met up with Galadriel and they rekindled their friendship. Then one day, Lady Galadriel used her feminine wiles to distract Mandos, so Gimli could sneak into his Halls and find where Mandos has been hiding Feanor away, then casually mention to Feanor about this awesome gift his pal Galadriel gave him once... she was so generous, he only asked for a single hair and she gave him THREE! Man, who does that eh? Cut to later on Mandos find Feanor curled up in a ball weeping while Gimli is bent over in the corner laughing his ass off lol

Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes. ‘What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight? Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight? ‘I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey, I saw him walk in empty lands until he passed away Into the shadows of the North, I saw him then no more. The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor, ‘O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar, But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.’ From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from the sandhills and the stones, The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans. ‘What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring to me at eve? Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve. ‘Ask not of me where he doth dwell - so many bones there lie, On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky, So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea. Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!’ ‘O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south, But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea’s mouth’. From the Gate of the Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls, And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls. ‘What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today? What news of Boromir the bold? For he is long away.’ ‘Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought, His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought. His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest, And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast. ‘O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze, To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days. The East wind gets no verse, as the people of Gondor endure the East wind, but do not ask it for tidings, for that is where Mordor lies.

During the Fellowship, Pippen was around the equivalent of 21 years old and Merry something like 16. I think The Fellowship changed them the most, they were completely different after the Fellowship. How accomplished and revered they became!. Gandalf returning to the whimsical Tom Bombadil and wife Goldberry is interesting. We don't really know what Tom was, Elrond referred to him as "a strange creature". Tom seemed to have powers, I believe Gandalf sought a kind of healing in Tom and Goldberry's company.

@dudethebagman 10 месяцев назад

Who is the oldest living being in Middle-Earth during the War of the Ring? Bombadil or Elrond or Treebeard? Some other elf maybe? I've read in various parts of LOTR that each of those 3 is the oldest.

@vilarles 9 месяцев назад

@@dudethebagman Well, it must be Bombadil. Elrond is much much younger then the other two, and even quite younger than other elves in Middle-Earth, like Cirdon or Galadriel. Fangorn is said to be the oldest living thing on Middle Earth, but at the same time Bombadil is considered to be the First ever to live there, before the trees or even before the "Dark Lord came from outside". Which makes him definitelly older than Fangorn. Still, probably Bombadil would not count on this aspect as he is not considered a "living thing" as the others, but more like something otherwordly, like an spirit or a Maiar. So yeah, if you count Bombadil, then definitelly he is the oldest. If not, then Treebeard/Fangorn.

Tolkien wanted to write a sequel, but he didn't do it for two reasons: 1) It would be about just Men, no Elves, Dwarves or Orcs. 2) He had to ruin his perfect endings of the books. So he decided not to do it at the end. Apparently the blue wizards were the bad guys in that story, and since he decided not to write this story he changed the faith of the blue wizards too, and they also were successful in their mission, making less people join Sauron in the east.
