I’m glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee. Here at the end of all things.

Sam is an excellent fellow, and would jump down a dragon’s throat to save you, if he did not trip over his own feet.
bilbo baggins appreciation post
bilbo baggins:
- good mornings a wizard and then immediately implies he should be dead
- can’t make it through a meeting he doesn’t even want to be at without chiming in with his opinion
- plans to walk to erebor
- tells elrond lord of rivendell that he’s full of shit to his face
- avoids bad situations by just falling to the floor
- tells a weird and scary creature that lives in the dark and just killed an orc with a rock and is clearly contemplating eating him his full name and address when asked
- dramatic reveals™
- tackles an orc – very poor to entirely useless sense of self preservation
- can’t stop himself from twanging what it very obviously a ginormous spider web – bagginses obviously unfamiliar with arachnids as a species generally i guess
- remembers instructions well even if he can’t get others to follow them
- steals dwarves
- asks strangers for their names
- makes thorin oakenshield nearly cry in front of the whole town while he’s trying to be majestic
- keen eyes
- has no idea what he came all this way to steal
- will do whatever it takes to save his dwarves
- look i can’t even joke about this. he loves thorin so much. he fears for him but is never afraid of him. he goes back to thorin’s side again and again and again, even when it might be dangerous. he loves thorin so much and he’ll do whatever it takes.
- including telling a wizard to his face to fuck off and charging head on into an ambush
- “i know you must honor him in that way, but to me he was never that. he was…he was…”
- bilbo baggins, luck wearer, barrel rider, ring winner, he who walks unseen
the scene in return of the king where gandalf gets pippin to light gondor’s beacons is a lot funnier when you remember that pippin has already sworn fealty to denethor, which means that he’s a legal citizen of the city and servant of its ruler and therefore committing high treason
peregrin “be gay do crimes” took
The Hobbits try shoes
Sam: *walking about like a cat in booties* oh no… Oh no…
Frodo: *stands up* *immediately falls down*
Merry: you just spend all your time with your feet in… jail? In foot jail?? This is the worst
Pippin: *stomping about* haha Merry look, I’m a human! Get out of my way! I’m in a hurry! Where’s my horse? My name’s Boromir- *trips over laces and goes down hard* ow
Pippin: Merry help I’m stuck Merry *wrenching at shoes* STOP LAUGHING i’M A TOOK WE HAVE WIDE FEET
Merry: why are there so many laces this is so over-complicated
Frodo: *frantically kicking off shoes* nope nope nope nope nope
Gimli: Sam just walk normally
Sam: I don’t know where my feet are!
Gimli: they’re at the ends of your legs lad!
Sam: Mister Frodo help
& while all this is happening literally every other member of the Fellowship losing their gotdamn shit at the sight of a bunch of grown men (+Pippin) unable to figure out how shoes work
Frodo: alright I’m going to try again *stands up* *WHAM* oww
Aragorn: *sobering up* Okay Frodo seriously take those off before you really hurt yourself
~later~
Pippin: I suddenly have a new respect for all you shoe-wearing folks
Boromir: Pippin no offence but that is literally one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard anyone say
LIES! SLANDER! I can walk while wearing shoes! Just watch me.
*Puts on shoes* *Gets Up* *Face Plants*
The internet could change next week, and not in a good way
You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression.
We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Today we take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report.
The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment.
Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now.
If you access Tumblr from Europe and want to act, you can find more information on saveyourinternet.eu.
Please reblog this as much as you reblogged the posts about Net Neutrality.
If Article 13 is approved, European People might be basically banned from uploading any fan content.
You won’t get new fanfics from people in Europe.
You won’t get new gifs from people in Europe.
You won’t get new fanart from people in Europe.
Because they’ll be automatically filtered and blocked!
We might leave Tumblr and other fandom pages.
And if we’re getting all our content blocked?
You might lose some of your favourite followers/mutuals.
You might not get to read the rest of that fic you’re dying to read – simply because the writer lives in the wrong country.
So do whatever you can to help us stop this.
Reblog this.
CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO TELL THEM YOU DON’T WANT ARTICLE 13 TO BE APPROVED IF YOU’RE EUROPEAN! DO IT VIA THE HOMEPAGE
