enemies-to-friends/lovers relationships fuel my life force. like. give me two people who experienced enough personal growth to change their perspectives and set their pride aside to understand one another. give me a hard-won companionship made rock solid from experiencing each other at their best and worst, give me two people who went through to hell together and came out the other side with forgiveness and humility. just kill me dude

the dead and the dying, and he would destroy what little of them remains, and you’ve captured that so perfectly by ringing them entirely in the Eye, how small they are, how they are next to nothing in comparison, so perfectly and uselessly ineffectual, a gnat’s fury against a thunderstorm, the most inconsequential of all foes – a ghost and a memory. 

And yet, even so, they’re still standing there, nearly swallowed by all that red rage, and their silhouettes are still there, tall and straight and unbowed and the poses you’ve chosen: Thorin bracing himself with all the bullheaded defiance in him, half-ready to attack if he ever gets even the glimmer of a chance – and Bilbo with his hands in his pockets like a proud Shire gentlehobbit when faced with utter ruin

I HAVE THE SNIFFLES

beautiful, so beautiful. This is so amazing, this is what I mean when I gush about how artists are storytellers, how you take a thing I thought and wrote and make it better and deeper and realer
