It's a shame they didn't include mirror mirror in the movies, I quite like the idea of Gimli and Frodo looking out over the same water that Durin did at the beginning and seeing the crown of stars he did. Yet they were like "No.....elves" and it's like yeah but counter point dwarves. Have you considered dwarves? Even in the Hobbit movies, a book about DWARVES, they were like...add elves. But not the best one...

Once again here's Pippin fucking everyone's day up, drop a stone down a big stupid hole, that's genius. I'll be honest....Gandalf should've thrown Pippin down the well and been done with it. No more dumb Hobbit. All you have left is silent Merry, hand wringing Sam, and dumbass Frodo who can't seem to do anything right except get in more trouble. I feel so bad for Gandalf right now, he's herding cats.

Oh sure now Pippin is already regretting joining, bug talk for such a little Hobbit. Look I love the actor who plays him, but Pippin is literally the least helpful and most likely to get people killed. I'm just.....we could've taken another Elf or even Gloin FFS. Bring Gloin next time, he can hold the money again.

"Gandalf bore his staff, but girt at his side was the
elven-sword Glamdring, the mate of Orcrist that lay now
upon the breast of Thorin under the Lonely Mountain."

Cue the crying, Thorin you shit you had more to do. Also Bilbo gives his mithril to Frodo and says "Thorin gave it to me" and its like.....you mock my pain.

So let me get this straight? Elrond wanted to pick 2 more members and Pippin and Merry insisted they be them instead of like...someone more helpful??? TIE THEM IN SACKS AND SHIP THEM HOME. I would've stuffed them in sacks, tied them up, and dragged their asses home behind Bill the pony. I can't believe that's how it went in the books. Just WHY PIPPIN? Even in the movies he's useless. Also Glorfindel is so pretty.

Frodo is without a doubt, the dumbest of the Hobbits. I get Glorfindel's elf horse and I'm out. I'm out, I'm down the road, I'm past the Ford, I'm sipping tea at Rivendell while Elrond heals me and mutters about how dumb Hobbits are while everyone else shows up. I do not feel the need to challenge the Nazgul or deal with their shit. Also YAY GLORFINDEL. *flails in happiness*

Oh no how is Merry the smartest Hobbit? He literally says don't say Frodo's name and I'm like "Why wasn't it like this is the movies? They make him so much dumber in the movies, I demand justice for my Hobbit". Also thank Cthulhu they're in Bree and out of that effing forest.

Now I remember why I never got past the Hobbits leaving the Shire(ish), this man can DRAG shit out. I'm like "Okay we'll get to Aragorn on about page 150 of 570".....I'm on page 157 and they just got to the ferry. If the Hobbits had been left in charge of the hike to Mordor they wouldn't have made it to Rivendell. GET A MOVE ON. Also get to my guys, where are Glorfindel and Aragorn?

The Hobbits as a group are kind of whiny babies, and I never realized how bossy they are towards Sam. If they had kept this in the movies I think even more people would've been like "You can throw Frodo in the fires of Mount Doom Sam, we'll all look the other way". Also WTF you sold Bag End to the Sackville-Bagginses???? FRODO WHY.

I forgot I was reading. Also I watched a little of the show and just wasn't impressed.

The one thing I detest in "royal" histories is how many children everyone has and how hard the Dance of the Dragons is about to become because of it. I literally have to map this out on paper or get a family tree out before I read this part because I'm already confused.

I always cringe when Christie writes all Americans as selfish people who have larger than life personalities, she does the English even dirtier though. ARGH.

Every once is in a while I want to feel my intelligence isn't completely gone after graduating college so I read a Poirot to feel better.

Figured I should read the book after watching the show. Also don't watch this show with your MOTHER of all people *dies inside a little*

"Obi-Wan Kenobi. Big famous Jedi" me muttering: You little shit, how dare you belittle my precious bby like that.

I was fine until the Obi-Wan and Anakin comic, then I was very much NOT OKAY.

Can I just say Man-Thing is somehow adorable and I want one? Also Doctor strange as a vampire is amazing and terrifying.

Leshens, oh how I've missed you. Now this is a creature they should include in the TV series, so creepy and so cool.

Somebody said Ezio and I said WHERE?! So here we are.

Well when you find a good thing stick with it. Also as much as I'd love Alina and Mal to sail off into the sunset I feel like they left a problem behind them they have to solve. Darn hot ex boyfriends with evil powers. Oh well.

Jokes on you, I binged the entire show in a day and now am here after going "Geez the beginning of this is really confusing, I have to read the book" so here we are reading the books.

I'm at the Intro and I can already tell you whose fault the French Revolution was. Louis VIX. If he hadn't built Versailles and just ruled from Paris and stopped getting into war after war his family might still be ruling France. Then again the French monarchy was never a really "people friendly" mode of ruling and kind of sucked for anyone not royal.

I'm back on my bullshit and reading about this mostly because of one frigging guy whose name was Gilbert. Well his full name is Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette...but who's checking?

I occasionally start re-watching a series and today decided to read the book. I'm not crazy about some of the characters but maybe I'll change my mind reading the books.

What. Have. You. Done. Who is this artist and where can I mail my complaint? LOOK AT OBI-WAN'S FACE?! HOW DARE YOU?! THEY LOOK LIKE ROCK PEOPLE. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Look who you put on the cover, of course I'm going to read it. *slowly pushes her Obi-Wan Funko Pop away while grinning*

There's a different artist on this comic and my mind just wet WHYYYYYYY. It's not worse, it's just not as fluid. We'll see....

Han's thoughts were so interesting, he cared more than we thought even from the moment they saved Leia and lost Ben.

"It's good to fly with you again, my old friend" the old man said. *SOBS* Obi-Wan remembered R2 of course and didn't say anything. *stomps off*
