2019 A Tolkien Bog Party

Greetings, all!

The lovely Hamlette is hosting her annual Tolkien Blog Party again in celebration of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins’ birthday (which was Sunday, September 22^nd, in case y’all didn’t know that XP)!!!

This year’s blog tag for the party is a Would You Rather game, which is awesome. :-D

So with no further ado, here is the tag.

(because we all need to see the Mouth of Sauron's head chopped off every once in a while.

it's very satisfying. XD) 

Would You Rather...

1.  ...join Thorin's Company or the Fellowship?

Ooooof, THAT’S a hard question. They’re both amazing. X’D

So when I was first thinking about this question my immediate answer was the Fellowship; but now that I’ve mused on it for a bit, I think I would rather join Thorin’s Company.

(This is going to be an unpopular opinion for sure. XP)

My reasons for this choice are 1: this group seems more lighthearted in general than the Fellowship (probably because they’re only going to defeat a dragon, not destroy a powerful magic ring in the Dark Lord’s own kingdom) and 2: I’d rather go to Erebor than Mordor.

Just sayin’.  

2.  ...ride Shadowfax or an eagle?

AN EAGLE.

 No offense meant to Shadowfax, of course; but I’ve always wanted to fly in the air on a creature’s back; and since the dragons of Middle Earth are evil, I must needs to find myself an eagle that is willing to bear me hence.

3.  ...travel through Moria or Mirkwood?

Definitely Mirkwood. I couldn’t do Moria-I don’t like being underground. But forests I love (even twisted ones like Mirkwood). Plus, there’s Elves there. XD

4.  ...learn to make elvish rope or mithril chainmail?

Um, mithril. That would be amazing. It’s so pretty. <33

5.  ...try to outwit Smaug or Saruman?

Smaug. Saruman would unnerve me too much.

That sounds kind of strange, I know. But I’ll take a dragon any day over an ancient, evil Wizard.

6.  ...spend an hour with Grima Wormtongue or Denethor?

UGH THEY’RE BOTH HORRIBLE. I’m going to have to say Denethor, because at least he would just talk about some lore of Gondor or something and I wouldn’t have to say much. Although, if he was more like he is in the books that would be unnerving-he doesn’t miss much. :-Z

(I couldn't find a good gif or picture of him. He's too horrible. X'D) 

Eh, most anyone is better that Grima though.

7.  ...attend Faramir's wedding or Samwise's wedding?

Faramir’s. I ship him and Eowyn badly. <33 And I know what a Hobbit’s wedding looks like already, but I don’t know what a Gondor\Rohan one looks like.

I would miss the beautiful Shire landscape and the Hobbiton dances though. <\\3

8.  ...have to care for the One Ring or the Arkenstone for a day?

Arkenstone. The One Ring would be terrifying.

The only problem is-if I lost the Arkenstone, I’d be dead.

Though I might be even more dead if I lost the One Ring.

No, I’d definitely be dead if I lost the Arkenstone.

We’ll take the Arkenstone nonetheless.

9.  ...have tea with Bilbo or Frodo?

Ooooooof, I do not want to choose. XD

Heh, probably Bilbo. He’s one of my favorite characters.

10.  ...fight alongside Boromir or Eomer?

Probably Eomer.

I don’t have a particular preference though?

Except if I fought alongside Eomer, I would get a horse.

And I do want a horse. XP

Aandd, that's it!!! Many, many thanks to Hamlette for hosting this blog party yet again!!! It's always so much fun. :-D

Your turn to talk! Who's your favorite Middle Earth character? (Mine's Gandalf, btw. XP) Would you rather have tea with Bilbo or Frodo? And isn't The Mouth of Sauron a wonderful character?

Namarie!
