Noah Adams
why do you think the hobbits had bad dreams :^)
Xavier Wright
Frodo and Legolas and Bard's son Bain are relentlessly handsome.
Lincoln Thompson
Why the fuck did Tolkien give Tom 40 boring pages in fellowship?
Ian Cooper
If he's imperveous to the effects of the ring, why didn't Gandalf get him to take the ring to Mordor?
James Moore
to filter brainlets
Cameron Martin
He wouldn’t understand what the big deal is IIRC
Carson Lee
>when she ring-a-dings your dong dillo
Aiden Hall

Jack Ward
because Bombadil don't give no fucks
he'd get distracted by a pretty flower and fucking lose it on the way
Samuel Sanders

WHY THE FUCK DOES HE SING DOL SO MUCH AND WHY DOES IT MAKE ME SO SO VERY ANGERY

Kevin Myers
He didn't give tom 40 pages in fellowship, he gave fellowship 439 pages in the book of tom.
Tom predates the writing of LOTR by at least 20 years.
Justin Morris
He's like the most OP character ever created but the downside is that he is always at the peak of an acid trip
Cameron Green
>Yes, that is the Roverandom audiobook blasting at full volume that you can hear leaking from my headphones.
Jacob Collins
>this is why he is the oldest and fatherless
Matthew Ortiz
so tolkien thinks god is a fat autistic neckbeard
Evan Perry
>god
no
>fat
yes
>autistic
no

no
Henry Flores

uhhhhhhh??
Josiah Flores
Bain?
Daniel Reyes
He definitely has the tism
Bentley Rogers
god i want her to fart on me
John Reyes
>Bombadil is God
Nicholas Morales
What was his tax policy anyway?
Oliver Howard
What the fuck is "RELENTLESSLY" handsome supposed to mean, is that another broken English beaner term that amerisharts readily adopted?
Logan Nelson
he just prints money
Noah Bailey
no taxes this is why he is so happy all the time
Chase Torres
Just having beard growth on you neck doesn't make you a neckbeard. He has a full, bushy beard that also extends down to his neck.
He's also not a neckbeard in the figurative sense. He's superhumanly powerful, has his own domain, has an attractive wife, goes outside plenty, makes friends easily and is a generous, happy, confident person.
Maybe a little. He has no social problems but does have trouble with abstract, top down motivation and behaviour regulation.
Ryder Nguyen
It's a meme spread by gays and gay impersonators around here. Ignore it.
Blake Harris
I don't get it, why didn't they just accepted the rings anyway? Wouldn't the world united under Sauron be a good place? What evil things did he even do? Cut some trees? Polluted a lake? C'mon guys it's the 4th age, don't live in the past!
I mean, maybe Sauron created the rings to make some friends? Imagine being the underling of the Evil Incel God and trying to make some friends, everyone would laugh at him, and attack him at first sign!
The orks? Their brutal behavior was created due to bad education standards, I'm sure that if given enough time humans and orks (since faggits and cringelvs would leave to nu-heaven by then). I mean, you don't know if you don't try.
Noah Fisher
*humans and orks could co-exist
Fuck
Kayden Edwards
We lost nothing when Jackson decided not to film the pointless Bombadil scene.
Michael Wilson
You wouldn't understand...
John Hall
t. witch-king
sauron had a friend when he made rings, celebrimbor
Bentley Hill
Did LotR have brown elves?
Cameron James
>The new Elves
Nathan Fisher
U mad.
Josiah Ortiz
Sauron wants to enslave people. He is metaphysically evil.
Lucas Reed
Old news, we redefined what it means to be German when we allowed amerisharts to occupy our country.
Christopher Clark
no
elves are always described as the fairest things anyone has ever seen
and Tolkien means both meanings of fairest: beautiful and pale
Brayden Morales
Keep that out of Tolkien thread pls. At least post the Orc edits.
Angel Thompson
No, Sauron wants to order the reality, and increased order will always mean reduced freedom, but increased quality of life. Due to opposition to his ideas, the Middle-Earth was stuck in medieval stasis and I can guarantee that the life of a Gondor peasant was not so cheery as that of Tom Bombadil. He also only used orcs as a last resort, he preferred using elves and humans back when he could.
Nathan Scott
eh? eh?
Eli Bennett
This is completely wrong. The object that is infused with his very essence corrupts people by appealing to their ambition and desire for power. Sauron wants to rule other beings. This is a fact and the definition of evil in Tolkien's philosophy.
Lincoln Price
No, this is completely right.
>His greatest virtue was his love of order and perfection - dislike of anything wasteful. However, this would also prove to be the cause of his downfall, for in the Dark Lord Morgoth, Mairon saw the will and power that would help him achieve his own goals and desires faster than if he pursued them alone.
>After Morgoth's defeat, Sauron forsook his allegiance to both him and the Valar, desiring to establish his own dominion and impose order through control by force.
Sauron's only fault was that the book was written by a paleoconservative professor. In a book showing a more sober worldview, he would be the good guy.
Leo Bailey
So is Aragorn evil for ruling the Gondorians then?
Joshua Robinson
Nice quotes, I have one that will settle this. From the the notes to Unfinished Tales:
>At the beginning of the Second Age he [Sauron] was still beautiful to look at, or could still assume a beautiful visible shape - and was not indeed wholly evil, not unless all 'reformers' who want to hurry up with 'reconstruction' and 'reorganization' are wholly evil, even before pride and the lust to exert their will eat them up.
So you're right in saying he sought order rather than power over others, but in time his 'pride and the lust to exert [his] will' ate him up. Happy?
Ryan Hughes
He tempers his lust for power that all men have. He rules out of duty and love rather than a desire for control.
Henry Harris
Thankfully this wasn't in the movies
Lincoln Price
I'm saying that Tolkien's negative bias made him portray a guy who is objectively good as evil.
Eli Morgan
>why didn't Tom just rape the hobbits?
to mount doom?
Kayden Wilson
this was where i absolutely fucking dropped these books. i was shocked when i heard a big budget movie was being made because for all i knew it was 3k pages of cringey songs and dancing
Camden Stewart
based Tom filtering plebs to this day
Michael Cox
Dumbshit. When you first see someone you find attractive, you are struck by it. If this effect takes a long time to fade, as in you are continually struck by this persons beauty, it is a relentless beauty.
Gabriel Rogers
Because he just doesn't give a shit. He's got a perfect life where nothing affects him and hes ridiculously OP, not even sure Sauron would have bothered with him if he had got the ring back.
Plus he's got Goldberry, probably spends the time he's not dancing and singing absolutely destroying her each night with his big magical ding-dong dillo, no wonder she's so happy too.
He's kinda selfish, but also too smart to get involved.
Robert Hill
why didn't the hobbits just rape Tom?
Ayden Brown
They could not because he was a big guy.
Owen Jones
>who is objectively good
I don't know where to begin with this. God exists in the universe, he is the absolute moral reference point, Sauron is not good in the eyes of Eru therefore he is objectively not good.
And if you dismiss Eru as an avatar of Tolkien's bias, then you are dismissing objective morality and can't make a statement like you did.
