Wife: THE DARK FLAME OF UDUN WILL NOT goddammit, now I'm doing it too!

The therapist: He's just afraid to show his true feelings.

Him: It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing.

Is it just me or is that line incredible writing?

Like, can you think of a more Hobbit metaphor?

(Not to say the rest of the writing is bad, this one just stuck with me as Tolkien really got into Bilbos head)

No, it's amazing. It also works for describing the overall theme of decay for the third age.

Also fits Galadriel and her decision to rather remain Galadriel and go into the west instead of become the "Dark Queen". She's literally the oldest living being besides Sauron itself residing on Middle Earth by that point.

EDIT: ok, one of the. Still hella old.

The Wizards (sort of), Tom Bombadil, Treebeard, and Círdan the Shipwright: am I a joke to you?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is Treebeard older? I would have thought the opposite.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

He's the oldest thing that walks Middle Earth aside from Bombadil.

The Wizards are older, though, if you consider their non-physical spirit form that's been around pretty much since the beginning.

"I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

oof

I've been feeling that quote for a bit now. Just three more years they say.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What happens in three years?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'll be done with the post cancer regimen. Currently they have my hormone levels through the floor to try and prevent the cancer from coming back. Keeps me weak and tired and all around exhausted all the time.

Damn, cancer treatment is rough. Hang in there! Wishing you all the best!

— Honey, can you cut me a slice of bread?

— You have my sword!

— I walked into this one, didn't I?

As long as you put your bow away! It made a horrible mess the last time you "helped" my sandwich with it!

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

Me too, Bilbo.

Best simile ever. Still relatable. More so, even. Pity I don’t have a ring of power to show for it

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Same but with endlines I'll never finish

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Lord of the rings, historic military strategy, or noir detective are the three choices.

It’s not my fault Tolkien has a quote for every possible mood
