“At the end of the second week in September a cart came in through Bywater from the direction of Brandywine Bridge in broad daylight. An old man was driving it all alone. He wore a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, and a silver scarf. He had a long white beard and bushy eyebrows that stuck out beyond the brim of his hat.”

Behind the Hobbit:

“ The funny is that everybody gets our names wrong. Everybody gets Fili and Kili wrong. Even Peter will go, “Kili- eh, Fili.” “ -Dean O’Gorman.

i love reading tolkien’s descriptive passages. there’s just something about them that makes them so vivid

also all the em dashes lol

Finished The Fellowship of the Ring yesterday! I'm so proud of myself. I haven't read seriously in a long time, only a random book here and there. And look at me now, already finished with The Hobbit and Fellowship! I'm doing really good, and on my way to finish finally reading this classic.

I bet somebody already did this but I couldn’t resist redrawing this [x] and turning them into their dwarf characters.
