Join the Adventure!

Hello, lovely friends! I was thinking of something to post on this blog, and the thought came to me to start a series enlisting YOU, our fellow adventures and fangirls, to shared what you've shared from the works of J. R. R. Tolkien and his characters (something similar to the post I did on his birthday). The posts might feature a fangirl one at a time, or we might all collaborate to share what we've learned from the specific books and characters. What do you think?! Does this sound jolly good? Tell us!

Yours truly, S. F.

Remembering There and Back Again Link-up - The Battle of the Five Armies

One Last Time.

Better late than never. . .we will proceed.

Favourite Character

Myrtle: All I've said so far.

Les: (see above)

S. F.: Still the same as it was before.

Favourite Actor

Myrtle: ...

Les: (Myrtle voices my thoughts precisely!)

S. F.: One does not simply choose a favourite actor. :)

Favourite Actress

Myrtle:All the females.

Les: The Nesbitt sisters, Cate Blanchett, and Evangeline Lilly all performed excellently.

S. F.: ^ Basically. ^

Favourite Quote/Line

Myrtle:" You have but one question to answer: how will this day end?" ~Gandalf (from trailer)

Les: "Uh, if any of you are ever passing Bag End, uh... tea is at four, there's plenty of it. You are welcome anytime. Oh ah... don't bother knocking." ~ Bilbo to the company ere he embarks on the home journey

S. F.: "One day it'll grow, and every time I'll look at it I'll remember. The good, the bad... And how lucky I am that I made it home." ~Bilbo
And "I have no right to ask this of any of you, but will you follow me...One Last Time?" ~Thorin

Favourite Soundtrack

Myrtle: I really don't know what to put.

Les: (Thank you again, dear Myrtle!)

S. F.: In all honestly, I haven't listened to much of the soundtrack except for during the movie. I'm not sure if I have a favourite, but I can sum it all up in two words "Nope" and "Feels".

Favourite Friendship

Myrtle:Fili /Kili, Sigrid/Tilda/Bain/Bard.

Les: (see previous answers)

S. F.:Yes, I, too, loved the family relationships. And we saw the "climax" of the friendship between Bilbo and Thorin and the rest of the company. It was very touching!

Favourite Costume

Myrtle:The Company's armour.

Les: The mithril shirt!

S. F.: Myrtle and Les have already listed some of my favourites. I also liked Bilbo's return outfit (with all his gear, etc.)

Favourite Weapon

Myrtle:Bain's Sword, Black Arrow. Sorry, Smaug.

Les: Bain's sword, Thranduil's swords, and Orcrist.

S. F.: Sting.

Favourite Minor-Character

Myrtle:Hilda Bianca.

Les: Bard's children again.

S. F.: The hobbits at the auction. :)

Favourite Scene

Myrtle: I can tell you my least favourites!
I have little bits from different scenes that I like: "Look at me.", Tilda using self defense on Alfrid (link), the elves jumping over the dwarves backs, Thorin giving Mithril to Bilbo.

Les: When Bilbo returns to Bag End and sees his forgotten pocket handkerchiefs on the floor...that was such a lovely touch.

S. F.: There were indeed special moments in this film that made the whole journey worth it, but if I was asked to pick my one favourite scene, it would probably be the acorn scene. For one thing, Thorin SMILED! And it showed that, even though he had gone through ruff adventures, Bilbo was still only a humble little hobbit. -->
"But where our hearts truly lie is in peace and quiet, and good tilled earth. For all Hobbits share a love of things that grow." (~ Bilbo in Fellowship pf the Ring.)

Favourite Screen Shot

Myrtle:

Les: 

one of few such heartwarming, happy moments in the film~

S. F.:

. . .Back again

Favourite Location

Myrtle:The woods outside Hobbiton, and Hobbiton itself.

Les: Woods outside Hobbiton! Yes, yes! Happy sunlight and beautiful trees. Also, HERE.

S. F.: Same. Hobbiton is obviously my favourite, but it I loved it even more after all the previous gloominess.

Did You Cry?

Myrtle:Why,YES I DID.

Les: (see above and below)

S. F.: Did I cry? Yes, I most definitely DID. The first time I cried was when it said "The Hobbit" and I was still sniffling as we walked out of the cinema. Add lots of tears sprinkled throughout the whole film, and you can be sure I was glad I didn't forget my pocket handkerchief!

Did You Dress Up As Anything?

Myrtle: Sigrid!

Les: Bain son of Bard.

S. F.:Tilda!

Did You Watch it at a Theater?

All: Yes!

What Are Your Personal Thoughts on the Movie?

Myrtle: I was hoping Bilbo or Gandalf would say something to mend my broken heart when they're sitting together after "it" happened! And someone needs to make a movie about Middle Earth after-life!!!!

Les: I quite agree with what Myrtle said. Moments of light and warmth were cherished as they made me feel very good, so I tried to focus on them in the midst of far less pleasant events. All in all, I thank goodness that we can believe in happy endings! ☺

S. F.: I'm not sure what to say. I have lots of thoughts on this movies. It was a very emotional "One Last Time" journey to dear Middle-earth. It tied up many loose threads, but left several dangling for the continuation in LOTR. When I came home from watching it, I felt very much like Bilbo. I was not the same as the wondering girl who watched AUJ. I had gone there and back again.

Roads go ever ever on

Under cloud and under star,

Yet feet that wandering have gone

Turn at last to home afar.

Eyes that fire and sword have seen

And horror in the halls of stone

Look at last on meadows green

And trees and hills they long have known.

Remembering There and Back Again Link-up - The Desolation of Smaug

It's been so fun reviewing/remembering these movies! Here's the Desolation of Smaug--

Favourite Character

Myrtle: ...

Les: (and I quote) "Thorin & Nephews + Thranduil & Son & Tauriel + Bard & Family
...with a [redeemed] dragon and every other elf included for good measure."

S. F.: Oh, you already know my favourites. (The above listed and Bilbo.)

Favourite Actor

Myrtle: Luke Evans, John Bell,the Dwarves( especially sick Kili), Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, the Wizards.

Les: All of the above. Don't forget the fine performances of Lee Pace and Orlando Bloom!

S. F.:Yeah, the ones above mentioned.

Favourite Actress

Myrtle:All the females in the movie.

Les: Peggy and Mary Nesbitt (Sigrid and Tilda).

S. F.: See above.

Favourite Quote/Line

Myrtle:"I belong with my brother.", 'Are we not part of this world?"

Les: "I belong with my brother." ~ Fili + "I am fire... I am death." ~ Smaug

S. F.:  
"Balin: In truth, lad, I do not know what you will find down there. You needn't go if you don't want to. There's no dishonor in turning back... 
Bilbo: No... no, Balin, I promised that I would do this, and I think that I must try. 
Balin: It never ceases to amaze me. 
Bilbo: What's that? 
Balin: The courage of hobbits."
And "If this is to end in fire, then we shall all burn together."

Favourite Soundtrack

Myrtle:"Feast of Starlight", "Laketown Theme".

Les: "Beyond the Forest" (take heed in listening to it as it can easily induce feels!)

S. F.: Erebor (Doesn't it just give you the chills?) and the Courage of Hobbits.

Favourite Friendship

Myrtle: See below.

Les: Sibling friendships again: Fili/Kili and Sigrid/Bain/Tilda.

S. F.: Hmm... besides the ones mentioned? The various friendships between Thorin/Balin/Dwalin/Bilbo.

Favourite Costume

Myrtle:The elves,Bard's children's.

Les: The costumes of my favourite characters, of course!

S. F.: The brilliant blue jacket of Mister Baggins and the epic scarlet cape of King Oakenshiled. And I can't forget King Thranduil's fabulous cloak. (Let me be honest, I love Tauriel's green outfit.)

Favourite Weapon

Myrtle: Tilda's plate and Bain's bench.

Les: The bows and arrows of Legolas and Tauriel.

S. F.: Well, I must give some credit to Bard for his improvised weapons. And all the knives were epic!

Favourite Minor-Character

Myrtle: Sigrid, Bain, Tilda, Percy, Hilda Bianca (her)

Les: Bard's darling children.

S. F.: I must say, Tilda's doll and the Black Arrow were mighty fine characters. ;)

Favourite Scene

Myrtle: Orcs attacking Bard's house was a great action one, and we get to see more of Sigrid, Bain and Tilda, Tauriel heals Kili, and Balin talking to Bilbo, and what Les said.

Les: When Fili refuses to leave his brother; Tauriel's beautiful speech on starlight.

S. F.: The ones Les and Myrtle mentioned, plus the Bilbo meeting Smaug. And the whole scene from when the dwarves cross the lake to the Mountain to when Thorin and Balin enter. Oh! And my very most favourite may be when Bilbo climbs the tree in Mirkwood.

Favourite Screen Shot

Myrtle:

Les: Beorn's lovely ponies against a gorgeous NZ background~

 

S. F.:

Favourite Location

Myrtle:The Throne Room of the Lonely Mountain.

Les: The location of the bridge leading into the Thranduil's Halls was beautifully designed (image).

S. F.: Does the tree tops of Mirkwood count? Beorn's house had some great details.

Did You Cry?

Myrtle: Mmm... I don't think so.

Les: When we first meet Smaug and his theme song played, aye.

S. F.:I didn't think I would, and then I saw this shot and heard the Erebor theme~

And then I cried.

Did You Dress Up As Anything?

Myrtle: Fili! I quite liked that costume.The gloves especially.

Les: Yes, I went as Kili!

S. F.: Yep! I was Bilbo Baggins--red coat, green waist-coat, and all. When we were outside the cinema, I was very cold in my hobbity costume, meanwhile Fili and Kili had the advantage of coats. Ehehe! But then it was all okay once we came inside. To celebrate today, I'm wearing my waistcoat.

Did You Watch it at a Theater?

All: Yes, on a chilly December 14th 2013. :)

What Are Your Personal Thoughts on the Movie?

Myrtle: I really enjoyed returning to Middle Earth, but was a bit sad knowing there would be only one more movie after this. To counter that,I looked at it like this: The Lord of the Rings was made before The Hobbit, but the story happens afterwards. Creating a circle. A ring... that has no end.

Les: Two years have passed since I watched it first, and from then to now I would say personally it was a grand adventure with exquisite music and powerfully interwoven themes of loyalty, pride vs. humility, the importance of love and respect in the family, kindness, and the consequences poor choices have on others. So be true to all that is good!

S. F.: DOS was the Hobbit film that I was the most excited about. It led us on the continuation of our journey there and back again with Bilbo. There was tense moments, sad moments, and then of course there were moments of stillness and moments to make you smile. I liked that we were shown the in-between part of the adventure--the plot and characters were developing, and we still were on the edge of our seats wondering about the next part.

Remembering There and Back Again Link-up - An Unexpected Journey

Oh my! We're a bit behind. :) Well, without further ado. . .

Favourite Character

Myrtle: Fili, Kili, Gandalf, and Myrtle the Pony.

Les: Confession: before I watched AUJ in theatres I was quite unfamiliar with the story of The Hobbit. Therefore, I referred to my favourites upon first observing it as "the dwarf buds." One was blond, the other an archer. Hmm, any guesses? ☺ And of course the elves were a favourite as well.

S. F.: You all probably know the answer, because it's none other than Bilbo Baggins himself. :) But, to say a bit more, after watching it for the first time my favourites were Fili and Kili.

Favourite Actor

Myrtle:You got me there!

Les: (see above)

S. F.: They all were brilliant, though I think my favourite was Oscar Strik. (Little Bilbo.) ;) *squeal* Click here to see.

Favourite Actress

Myrtle:Cate Blanchett. That one was very easy to narrow down!

Les: (see above)

S. F.: Now, this is very limited, and I'm not sure who to answer... :)

Favourite Quote/Line

Myrtle: "Quickly, all of you!" ~ Thorin (Sounds like he's saying "Quickly, I love you!) and "Kili, grab my hand!" ~ Fili

Les: "I've found it is the small things; everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay... simple acts of kindness, and love." ~ Gandalf the Grey

S. F.:  "Look, I know you doubt me.I know you always have. And you're right, I often think of Bag-End. I miss my books. And my armchair, and my garden. See, that's where I belong. That's home. And that's why I came back. Because... you don't have one. A home. It was taken from you. But I will help you take it back if I can." ~Bilbo Baggins

Favourite Soundtrack

Myrtle: Misty Mountains.

Les: "The Hidden Valley" (link)

S. F.: "Dreaming of Bag-end". This song. . . *FEELS*

 

Favourite Friendship

Myrtle: The brotherhood of Fili and Kili.

Les: Sibling friendships are very close to home for me, so that of Fili and Kili was heartwarming.

S. F.:  I really liked the friendship between Bilbo and the Dwarves that evolves though the trilogy, especially the friendship of Bilbo and Bofur.

Favourite Costume

Myrtle: All the dwarves.

Les: Galadriel's wardrobe (elven garb in general). Also, delightfully quaint was the first outfit we see younger Bilbo in.

S. F.: All of Bilbo's outfits, and hobbit outfits in general.

Favourite Weapon

Myrtle: Gandalf's staff and Ori's sling-shot.

Les: The bow and arrows of Kili the dwarf + the elven weaponry.

S. F.: I'll have to go with Sting--the letter opener. ;)

Favourite Minor-Character

Myrtle: Lindir.

Les: Those nameless elven musicians at the dinner in Rivendell.

S. F.: SEBASTIAN!

 

Favourite Scene

Myrtle: Blunt the Knives.

Les: The last scene, especially Thorin's speech to Bilbo.

S. F.: The ones listed above, as well as the entry to Rivendell, the Misty Mountains scene (when they're singing), and the "I'm going on an adventure!" scene.

Favourite Screen Shot

Myrtle:

Les:

 

S. F.:

Favourite Location

Myrtle: Hobbiton and Dale/Lonely Mountain.

Les: Imladris, The Last Homely House East of the Sea.

S. F.: Bag-end (and all of Hobbiton), plus the gorgeous locations in "Over Hill".

Did You Cry?

Myrtle: No.

Les: Almost when my favourite location's theme song began playing.

S. F.: Nope!

Did You Dress Up As Anything?

All: We went as elven maidens.

Did You Watch it at a Theater?

All: yes, on the opening day.

What Are Your Personal Thoughts on the Movie?

Myrtle: I think AUJ was the most like the middle earth from Lord of the Rings . DOS and BOTFA didn't quite feel the same.

Les: AUJ introduced me to the world of The Hobbit; I read the book after watching it, so my first thoughts about it were rather limited to my knowledge of LOTR. Sir Peter Jackson's interpretation of Tolkien's masterpiece was well done. Bravo!

S. F.: I like the light-heartedness that comes with it being the first film. It makes me happy. :) I love re-watching it and noticing all the details. This movie is a wonderful start of an unforgettable adventure! "Home is behind you, the world is ahead."

Also . . .
Which army do you belong to?
Take the quiz: https://hobbitarmies.thehobbit.com/

For me. . .
"You belong to the Army of the Dwarves
Dwarves are brave and loyal. They are persistent, prideful, and will fight to defend their brotherhood. The battle-axe is their weapon of choice. They love gold/treasure."

Happy Birthday, Tolkien / One Last Time Q&A

 Hullo there. Today happens to be the 123rd of J. R. R. Tolkien!

 I'm not sure who made this, but I love it and agree with the saying at the end:

 

Also, Sarah awarded us the "One Last Time Q&A". Thank you so much, Sarah!

R U L E S 

1. You Must be tagged to take the Q&A quiz

2. You must tag (notify) at least three other bloggers (or whatever they are on) for this Q&A

3. You must answer the following questions to the best of your ability

4. You must have seen The Battle of the Five Armies to be tagged/take the quiz

Q U E S T I O N S

 1. Tell your story of how you came to see the movie(s) or got into Tolkien in the first place.

 Myrtle: I was a wee lass, my father put on The Fellowship of The Ring, we were watching Bilbo's birthday party, and I thought: People having a party.

  Yyyess. (You know how Bilbo says it)

 

Les: Once upon a time, I turned the leaves of an ancient book unto one
titled, "The Elf-Dragon." And you beheld it, and that was my story. Enda.

S. F.: Oh, Middle-earth has pretty much always been in my life. In fact, I have been told that when we were watching "The Two Towers" along time ago, I turned around to my parents after watching Gollum and said to them, "My precious!" :)

2. Who are your three favourite characters in The Hobbit Trilogy?

Myrtle: That's like: What's your favourite, Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner? 

Les: My eyes were cheated by some spell when first I glanced over
this question. I mistook a little "deaths" between "characters" & "the"
And that did not make my sisters' answers any more cohesive.
But then I read the question. Hmm. Favourite character trios:
Thorin & Nephews + Thranduil & Son & Tauriel + Bard & Family
...with a dragon and every other elf included for good measure.

S. F: What? This is a hard question. *cough, cough* *scratches head* Bilbo. . .Thorin. . .FiliKili. <- They can count as one character, can't they?

3. Did you cry in The Battle of the Five Armies, and if so, which scene(s) and what type (sniffling, sobbing, choke-crying)? 

 Myrtle:  Bain and Bard gave me the feels,but I didn't cry. With Fili, I tryed to cry, but the tears would'nt come, neither with Kili. Inside, however,... well you know; you've felt it. I turned my head when Thorin ... was ... given the fatal ..............

'twas, of course, Master Baggins' first, heart-wrenching, breaking sob, that drew my tears. No sobs. Just tears. I bear my scars inside. My biggest cry was the end credits; I saw Les and S.F. sobbing, and quietly followed them, One Last Time.

Les: By all means. That is why I accepted bringing a very comforting pocket handkerchief with me to yonder cinema.
Response to № 2: when Bain came to his father's aid + Durin's Sons passed into the Timeless Halls + many other occurences.
The ilk of tears: all of the above, most strongly in the mentioned scenes. To say nothing of my weeping on S.F.'s shoulder and snuggling under her arm and pulling away when...Kili...and bowing my head in sobs...and sometimes vocalising queer squeaks and chokes. Bilbo rent my heart. I entirely understand not why, yet Thranduil provoked me to much pity and sorrow as well.
Let us stay away from what the end credits song did, darling.

S. F.: A LOT. Tears came to my eyes when it said "The Hobbit", Bard and Bain made me sniffle, Smaug made me sob, Bilbo's acorn scene made me cry hard, the "One Last Time" scene started tears that basically didn't stop until the credits were over, Fili's you-know-what had me screeching into my pocket handkerchief, Kili's you-know-what had me choking up, and Thorin's you-know-what was a mixture of both and many tears. And Hobbiton/the Hobbit theme/Bilbo and the Last Goodbye made me CRY.. Did I cry? Yup.

4. Were the deaths compelling to you, and if so, whose?

Myrtle: Yes. Our

Les: The above, the below. Although some felt—including Smaug's—rushed.

S. F.: All of the Durins were, I can't pick just one.

5. Overall, were you satisfied with the movie itself?

Myrtle: I do not know what "Satisfied" means right here. I CRIED. And I need a movie about Arda's afterlife.

Les: To Myrtle I gratefully say, Gi hannon! Already doth my minde compose happier endings.
I offer thanks unto Sir Peter & his company for the long and dedicated journey they took us on.

S. F.: Absolutely. Thank you so much, Sir Peter Jackson and Co.!

6. Describe the movie in one word.

Myrtle: I don't know if that is doable. But then again, mayhaps it is.

Les: Enmeshed-with-emotions.

S. F.: NOPE. Also, epic. Also, majestic. Also, emotional. You see? "One does not simply choose one word to describe BOTFA."

WE NOMINATE. . .

Kara
SW
and anyone else following this blog who hasn't been nominated for this yet!

Until next time,
S. F. and all of us 3FS!

THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES

We've come to it at last.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

Today this film of mixed emotions comes to cinemas.

We have made it. Counting down countless days and more days. And now, you know what?

It's here.

 * * * * * * * * * *

 "Will you follow me. . .One Last Time?"

  "I will not say 'Do not weep' for not all tears are evil."

With fangirlings and Feels and whatever else,

 I remain,

S. F.

F-I-V-E M-O-R-E

Photo edit © S. F. / Three Fangirling Sisters

First off, lets all give each other and ourselves a pat on the back. We have all remained sane (for the most part) these through the long, long wait. And guess what? Cinco more days.

Five days.

One hundred and twenty hours.

7,200 minuets.

432000 seconds.

4.32e+8 milliseconds.
4.32e+11 microseconds.

4.32e+14 nanoseconds.

(A little less than that because it's later on in the day.)

(Yes, Les did do this a year ago. Thank you for the idea, sister! ☺)

~ S. F. ?!?!

Two Weeks (Minus a Day)

Hello, lovelies! I was going to post this yesterday, but I wasn't able to. Ohhh weeeel. :) As I am at a bit of a loss for words (Thirteen days? HELP!), I will just repeat what Les said when we were two weeks until D. o. S.:

i feel like the thrush _↑ at the moment. the bird is held back from reaching the mountain.

we are made to wait two more weeks for [the battle of the five armies].

dramatic, yes. buuuuuut. the thrush arrives safely at erebor, and if we hold it out

then we shall walk through the cinema doors on the [seventeenth] of december and say:

THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT.

There.  That was well said, sister. Ehehehe.

And now, some more gifs that describe us waiting~

We're as mad as Smaug.

We're saying "No, no, no, no, no!"

We're not sure if we can bare it.

We make these expressions whilst watching the trailers.

Yup. :)

We fell like this on the inside.

We're NOT. LISTENING.

Keep waiting, friends. It will be worth it.
~ S. F.

ps.--did any one else see the premier?

Twenty Five to Go

Where do the days go? The wait continues. We must be patient. We must wait. We must prepare to follow one last time.
Has every one seen the soundtrack titles for The Battle of the Five Armies? If not, here they are (along with a little bit of what I think about them):

Disc One
1. Fire and Water {Is this how the movie's going to start?}
2. Shores of the Long Lake {Who-what-when-where-why?}
3. Beyond Sorrow and Grief {What do you mean? What's going on?}
4. Guardians of the Three {"The Three" . . . the three what?}
5. The Ruins of Dale {Bard going though Dale or something is my guess, but most likely I am wrong.}
6. The Gathering of the Clouds {How different will it be from the book?}
7. Mithril {I will admit that I am really excited for Bilbo to receive his Mithril shirt. ☺}
8. Bred for War {Is this were "We will have WAR" happens? It does not sound good.}
9. A Thief In the Night {Any one else worried about this?}
10. The Clouds Burst {I will refrain from asking a question here, because I have asked too many. *sigh* Help.}
11. Battle for the Mountain {Uh-uh! Noo. No. Help us all.}
 Disc Two
1. The Darkest Hour {...Is just before dawn? What is going to happen?!}
2. Sons of Durin {. . . •-• . . . o.O . . .}
3. The Fallen {NOPE. Bad. NOPE. Don't think about it. Not listening. Not listening.}
4. Ravenhill {Do you think they'll have ravens to go with Ravenhill? I hope so.}
5. To the Death {Ohhh...no, no, no...oh dear...}
6. Courage and Wisdom {This is making me think of Bilbo. And probably Thorin. And you know what that means if you have read the book.}
7. The Return Journey {*Sniff, sniff* I want to cry at the moment.}
8. There and Back Again {Hobbit feels. FEELS.}
9. The Last Goodbye {Have you listened to it or read the lyrics? Les listened to some and she said it is horrible. I've had some of the lyrics read to me and. . .owwwwww. . .feeeeeellllllsssss. . .}
10. Ironfoot {What do you suppose Dain will be like? I'm not sure what to think of him now, but after I've watched it then we shall see.}
11. Dragon-sickness {Thorin. . .*whimpers*}
12. Thrain [From The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Extended Edition] {That is interesting.}

Be strong and patient and fabulous and majestic and epic and be YOU.
~ S. F.

ps.--the post from when it was 25 days until D. o. S. is darling. After we watch B. o. t. F. A. we will be like Bard's family again.

One Month. One Last Time.

"If this is to end in fire, then we will all burn together."

"Will you follow me, one last time?"

Is it just me, or does Thorin have some epic quotes?

The end draws nigh. We have but thirty more days.

Someone help us.

One month.

One last time.

One ring to rule them all.

~ S. F.

What character poster's your favourite?

Three Days More

The Hobbit just announced this on FaceBook. They said there will be a trailer in three days.

Exciting, no?

~ S. F. (who is keeping herself from fangirling so this isn't a crazy post.)

ps.--That picture of our Durins. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Don't Play With My Feels

Click to receive the full torture.

No. Just no. Help. *sobs* *tears* *screams* It'll be okay. No. Help...

Dearest fangirls,

There is a new Battle of the Five Armies poster. What's that? A new B.o.t.F.A. poster?! *gasp*

The King Under the Mountain Thorin. Oooohhhh....

The Elven army about to battle...Orcs on mountain goats? Looookk at Dale in the background. *sniff, sniff* Looks like Thrandy still has his beloved Irish elk. *gasp* What's going to happen to it?

Legolas and Tauriel. What---nnnnooooo. Elves aren't supposed to cry or be dirty or hurt. What happened?

Thorin, Fili and Kili. In armour. Nope. Wrong. They look to determined and prepared and ready for battle. Please, tell me it's no true.

Master Bilbo Baggins. Sthap. Sthap. Don't do this to us. *buckets of tears*

I won't leave you on that sad note. Here's an adorable hedgehog to make you happy:

Love ~ S. F. the Man-Hobbit
