Greetings,
all!
Saturday,
September 22nd was an important day for members of the Lord of the
Rings fandom, being Bilbo Baggins and his nephew Frodo Baggin’s birthday. Many
Happy Returns to them!!!
*confetti
horns blow and cake is passed around*
(Shh,
I know they’re fictional characters. It’s still awesome to celebrate their
birthdays. XD)
In
honor of this special holiday, I am participating in Hamlette's Annual Tolkien Blog Party!!! Many thanks to Hamlette for hosting this fun celebration and for
creating the 2018 Tolkien Party Tag.
Shall
we begin? :-D
1.
What's your favorite Middle-earth story/book?
I
love The Hobbit best, I think; but the Tale of Beren and Lúthien is also near
and dear to me. <3
2. Do you have a favorite subplot?
2. Do you have a favorite subplot?
Legolas
and Gimli’s bromance. XD I also love Gimli and Galadriel’s friendship as well,
and (even though it’s sad) Faramir, Boromir, and Denethor’s story. :’-(
3. What's your favorite theme in Tolkien's books? (Can be in one specific story, or overall.)
My
favourite theme in the Lord of the Rings is the theme that it does not take
great power to win your battles, but simple courage, faith, and love. :-)
4. Do you have a favorite weapon from Middle-earth?
4. Do you have a favorite weapon from Middle-earth?
YES.
I love Tauriel’s knives. They are so elegant and sharp and shiny. <333
5. Would you like to be a hobbit?
Not
particularly. I don’t much enjoy gardening or going barefoot. I do like
hobbit-holes though. :-D
6. Do you have a favorite romance/couple?
Weeeell…yeah…Tauriel
and Kili…*coughs* <\3
7. What's your favorite Middle-earth creature? (Can be "real" or "imaginary.")
But aren’t they all real…ahem…I
mean imaginary? I
like Elves best and Dwarves second best. And Wizards third best.
8. What character do you look the most like?
8. What character do you look the most like?

Happy Tolkien Day!!!
Namarie!
Yes, Tauriel and Kili........ <3 <3
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Middle-Earth is great, isn’t it? I wish I resembled a character....but unfortunately, there aren’t that many people in ANY book or movie who look like me....oh well.
YES!!! <333
DeleteThanks! It is!!! <3 I have a very similar problem. At least we can write characters that look like us. XD
Oooh! Loved your answers! I especially love the "good morning" quote xD I keep telling myself to memorize it so I can say it to people whenever they say "Good morning" :P
ReplyDelete~Ceci
Thanks Ceci! XD I know; it's great! Funny, I've wanted to do the same thing! XD
DeleteRemind me not to tell you good morning, Ceci.... :P
DeleteHappy Tolkien day, MEM! :) And actually you do look a little bit like Tauriel, facially.
ReplyDelete-Quinley
Happy Tolkien Day to you too, Quinley! <3 Thanks! :-D
DeleteI love all your answers. I'm glad I'm not alone in liking Tauriel, because sometimes it feels that way. I too love Legolas and Gimli. They are the best. And I have too many favorite quotes to list here.
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone, Rachael!! :)
DeleteIt does sometimes feel that way. I know a couple of people who like her though now, so we are not alone! XD Yes! They are awesome. <333 Haha, I felt the same way when I wrote the post. XD
DeleteTauriel and Kili are so great together. <3 Those quotes are all so great. That GIF at the end with Legolas shield-surfing is awesome!! Happy belated Hobbit Day!
ReplyDeleteI know! <\3 Yes! I purposefully looked up that gif so I could use it. XD Happy belated Hobbit Day to you too! :-D
DeleteTauriel's knives are groovy, to say the least.
