She was explaining bombadil, cause he's not in the movies, right?

Never got through the books and don't recall him in the movies. He's magic card is super neat if very narrow, anyone wanna give me a quick Who or what he is?

[–] krimsonbun@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 6 days ago

Sure, pull your pants down.

Tom Bombadil is a Tolkien self insert who is immune to the effects of the ring and has a really hott wife iirc

[–] ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lol 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Huh haven't heard of the self insert thing. Thought bombadil was one of the valor in stealth mode?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Maybe, there's also an argument to be made for Tom being an earthly embodiment of eru the creator given the whole knowing the world when it was young and seeing the first rain and first acorn bit.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sorta. We know he's amoung the oldest beings in universe given the acorn line being able to be interpreted as seeing the first acorn or to be the first to see an acorn so first valar or eru.

I like to think he's the conscious embodiment entropy of middle earth.

[–] ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean, its entirely possible that he was created as some unforseen confluence of melodies in the Song of the Ainur. Sort of like how the popular theory for the origin of Ungoliant is that she arose from the discord between Melkor's song and Eru's song

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Certainly, I just like that everything with a purpose seems drawn to him and he then directs them to where they're supposed to be but they all leave questioning each other or themselves as to what the fuck just happened.

Not a TLDR but...

Audiobook in case you are better with that. Other two books are there somewhere. There's also a whole thing about getting a sick dagger which never shows in the movies. Also a whole thing in the conclusion of the series about Hobbiton which is fun. The movies did a good job selecting plots to omit.

I gotta say fellas, that is the most erotic thing I've read this decade, and the wife got me into romfic last year.

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You know... I never even considered that this was being told from a woman's perspective, I 100% just assumed it was a dude, there was no doubt in my mind.

Given the pink triangle in their profile pic, I'm gonna assume OOP is a gay man.

I always thought my kink was too specific, but look, there it is for all to see.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 65 points 1 week ago (13 children)

I would gladly be on either side of this, tbh. I did once get a bit of a blowjob during doctor who, but I made him stop because I couldn't focus on the episode (heaven sent). We canoodled after, but he was clearly upset I valued a show over sex. But, like, it was heaven sent! And it was the premier of the episode. I made the right choice.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure practically the same thing happened in Queer As Folk before RTD went on to reboot Doctor Who.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 days ago

Really? Haha. I need to get around to watching queer as folk at some point

  2. to be laughing uncontrollably to the point you don’t know what bodily fluids will excrete from your orifices

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 30 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It has the same definition in a real dictionary, too.

This is why the ideal background movie is any Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie. They are hilarious, but ultimately the movies behind them tend to be boring. You don't usually need to pay attention to the plot to get most of the jokes. So, your attention can weave in and out. They are also usually monotone enough to fall asleep to, which is a bonus.

I lost my virginity during a Turkey Day marathon. 100% serious.

[–] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Extremely relatable. I tried to watch LOTR with my boyfriend who never saw it/cared about it. He was like eating snacks and not hearing all the dialogue. I had to turn it off after 10 minutes and crying twice already. I couldn't do it. I cared too much.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So this means you're single now? He's obviously not worthy. ;)

[–] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Nah, he gets a pass. He's a little too old for it to have been a formative experience like it was for me.

God I wish that were me. Either of them, I don't care

I'm guessing the edging was again at maximum during the Aragorn helmet kicking scene.
