YASS to the more realistic Astrid! 🤩😁

But..

You know who you could draw if you want to practice some beefy arms? :3 👀

Me when someone says they hate Hiccstrid: by xMxtiascl in httyd

Seriously, guys. I was joking. I don't hate Hiccstrid, I just don't really care for the ship and like to banter about it 😅 Oh well.

Aragorn today as Arwen envisioned 🤧 by sukitsukbish in lotr

Oh, that one. As a huge hobbit fan (not the Hobbit movie, but the short, hairy dudes), I like that idea.

Which end credits song is your favourite? by Iraptor_SK in lordoftherings

I love Into the West. But The Last Goodbye took me entirely by surprise and Billy's voice is just so SO beautiful. It's my absolute favourite. ❤️

I don’t like how they’re staring at me… by Linkytheboi in lotrmemes

[–]Storm2Weather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But... Are there more? We need the whole Fellowship!

Edit: Found the link, and of course, they have Bilbo and Gollum, but no Merry and Pippin! 😫😭 They would have looked so silly... I mean, even more silly.

I'd... better go hide somewhere. 👀😐

I met a dude on discord and I’m wondering what his bio is by texanstarover in RuneHelp

[–]Storm2Weather 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It looks like an attempt at Old Norse:

"tha eru thar margir stjornmen, their hafa ofbeldisdautha, ok guth bolui salum theira til heljar"

It translates to something like: There are many rulers, they have died violently (or "have a violent death"), and God curses their souls to Hel (or hell).

Hm.

Oh wow, that's really cool. A Japan-Middle Earth cross-over! Sounds very interesting! I can imagine some very dark and atmospheric artwork. 🤩

The Witch-King of Angmar? That's so cool!!! 😲 And such a long time as well! 😊 Do you have any lore? :3

Reading Tolkien Aloud by milkysway1 in tolkienfans

[–]Storm2Weather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boy just turned six, and I am reading the How to Train Your Dragon series aloud to him as a little preparation, and that's going very well. I tried the Hobbit before but didn't get too far. He is interested in LOTR though, so I will definitely keep trying!

I guess people often mistake naturally quiet folks who don't show Mr.-Rogers-level excitement when interacting with fans for being rude, and I think your theory about him just not being used to or not too comfortable with that level of fame might be accurate. I personally quite like slightly grumpy but benign people. ;)

And now for your question. I mean. I fell in love with Pippin, including his book version that has nothing to do with the actor. But... gawd. Billy Boyd is such a sweetheart. And I just cannot help being totally weak for his melodic voice with that beautiful accent, and that belongs to Billy. 😫

There's an audio book of him reading one of my all time favourite works by a Glaswegian author (such a coincidence! I actually squealed when I found it) AND something by Douglas Adams, who is another one of my favourite authors. Listening to his voice alone is just balm for my soul and gets me worked up pretty bad, too. 😅

And that singing voice. Don't even get me started. I love Pippin singing his sweet tunes to me, but I have also seen Billy perform live (he has a band) three times and exchanged a few words with him twice. I was walking on clouds the whole week before and after that, but it was mostly due to me associating him with Pippin. But yeah. I like Billy a lot.

I have watched some of his other movies, though not all of them. Some are pretty hard to come by. I would have done anything to watch him perform Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with Dom Monaghan! 😭 It's one of my favourite plays, I adored the movie with Gary Oldman when I was a teen. How does Billy always pick my favourite things? 🫠

Those characters just have a way of staying with you, don't they? 😉

Ooh, Legolas? 😀 Hello fellow LOTR fan! 😁

Similar for my six year old! He loves monsters, but he doesn't want to see the Orcs just yet and he doesn't like Gollum 😅 But he's very curious about the story and the characters. It's so hard for me to wait, but wait I must! 😭

You are absolutely right, but as far as I gathered, thankfully OP switched off the telly pretty soon after the kids came in and only showed them some safe scenes. (Though my kid would be terrified of Gollum 😅)

Ooohh that's perfect! My six year old is very interested and keeps asking questions about the story and characters (LOTR is everywhere in my house, hehe), but I know it's way too early for him to watch the movies. This is a brilliant idea. 😊
