In the region near the Shire known as the
dwell some evil spirits known as the ,
supposedly sent by the Kitchening to haunt the tombs
of his enemies. One ofthose spirits captures the hobbits
and puts them inside a barrow, keeping them under a
spell. The hobbits were nearly slain by it, but Frodo
managed to awake and attack the spirit, gaining some
time before they were finally rescued.
12138:
There IS a character in Middle Earth that doesn' t get
affected by the One Ring at all. His name
Bombadil and he' s probably the most mysterious
character ever created . He rescues the
hobbits in two occasions: when they are trapped and
nearly killed by an old willow in the Old Forest beside
the Shire, and when they are captured by a
in the (mentioned above).
He was the one that took some daggers out ofthe
barrow and gave them to the hobbits (including the
dagger Merry would later stab with).
The wife of Denethor, Windmills, twelve years
after they got married. Denethor got
depressed after her death, as he became more silent
and grim than before. He became very unstable and got
obsessed over the threat of Mordor, which ultimately
made him start looking in the palantir, being
prematurely aged and worn out in the process.
Boromir and Faramir deeply loved each other. Even if
Denethor loved Boromir more and favoured him,
Faramir was and there was no rivalry
between him and his brother. He admired Boromir and
always thought of him as an unmatchable warrior.
died, Legolas headed to the Grey Havens
to leave Middle Earth taking Gimli alongside him.
Galadriel achieved that the dwarfman admitted into the
Undying Lands in order to spend the rest of his days in
company of his best friend.
Also after Aragorn' s death, Amen bid farewell to her
children and left Gander. She wandered through the
empty woods of Lothlorien for a while, until finally she
laid herself upon the very hill on which she and Aragorn
once pledged their love, and passed away.
Although it is not common, elves can actually grow
beards. In the novel, when Frodo and the others are in
the Grey Havens about to board the ship to the Undying
Lands, Cardan, the guardian of the havens, is described
as having a long grey beard. He' s most certainly the
oldest elfin all Middle Earth.
Unlike in the movie, in the novel Frodo never sent Sam
home. Sam accompanied him throughout the whole
journey and together they crossed Shelob' s tunnel. It
was him who Gollum attacked when they made it out
the tunnel, that' s the reason why he couldn' t help Frodo
from being poisoned by Shelob.
The eagles were never a choice to bring the One Ring to
Mordor since the mission relied in stealth and secrecy.
Even if it wasjust one, a big eagle entering Mordor
would have been spotted right away and brought down,
spoiling the mission and delivering Sauron the Ring at
his very doorstep.
Galadriel' s gift to Sam was a little box of wood with
earth inside. This earth came from Galadriel' s orchard
and had the capability to make fertile any soil it was put
on. It was with this earth that Sam could help restoring
the Shire' s gardens and vegetation after they were
destroyed by Saruman and his men.
that' s at FOR now. thank you
FOR gour Attention.

Why Tom Bombadil is evil: km-515.livejournal.com/1042.html

I don't really agree, but it's an interesting theory nonetheless
User avatar #61 to #27 - dragonjackel (06/23/2015) [-]
Essentialy, in one paragraph and a quote instead of a bunch. Bombadil is the original evil who is also the reason why the woods are so damm corrupted and full of wights and Black Hurons, and he only helped the fellowship so that they could kill Sauron and makes the elves leave middle earth, then the spells and **** keeping him there wear off and with the hurons and wights he controls he will march upon the world _ _And one dark night the old trees will march westward into the Shire to feed their ancient hatred. And Bombadil will dance down amongst them, clad in his true shape at last, singing his incomprehensible rhymes as the trees mutter their curses and the black and terrible Barrow-Wights dance and gibber around him. And he will be smiling.__

Wow
User avatar #64 to #27 - erkaperkish (06/23/2015) [-]
Certainly very intresting, but like you, I don't agree. But thats the beauty of Tolkien's world I guess, there's alot of space for own theorycrafting.
User avatar #56 to #27 - raeptiemx (06/23/2015) [-]
so Tom is Melkor? kek nonetheless
#75 to #56 - ganondork (06/23/2015) [-]
Tom was part of Arda before Melkor even came down though.
User avatar #76 to #75 - raeptiemx (06/23/2015) [-]
so the original evil?
#92 to #76 - anon (06/23/2015) [-]
Yeah no, dont listen to these to these guys. Tolkien never confirmed any Tom Bombadil theory so nobody actually knows who he is and nobody knows his actual powerlevel either. Some popular theorys include him being the reader or tolkien himself, some say hes Iluvatar and some say hes just a very powerful maiar. My favorite theory makes him the essence of the song of the valar, like how Ungoliath (i hope thats her english name, im talking about the original spider that Melkor used to destroy the trees) was the Essence of the dissonance that Melkor put in it when they sang together. That would also explain why he cant just walk into mordor and punch sauron in his flaming nuts, because he has no power over things that are not from his song, it encompassing natural life but no spirits from the endless halls. The theory presented in the link posted above honestly does not seem very thought out for multiple reasons, one of the main ones being that a major theme and aspect of middle earth is that there was no darkness before melkor came. Melkor is what corrupted the world in the first place, he placed the dissonance in the perfectly carfted song. But thats just my rambling, probably not understandable but Middle Earth is the one fantasy universe that i claim to know about and im emotionally invested in

Ah, OP you magnificent bastard.... you have no idea how happy I am to see the 'Why didn't the Eagles just fly in the ring' theory debunked
User avatar #26 to #6 - SirSheepy (06/22/2015) [-]
Also, as to why the eagles didn't just fly them part of the way; the eagles were sentient and could be corrupted by the Ring's power, too. You wouldn't want to be riding one of those ******* when he decides that he wants the Ring for himself and drops you to your death and picks the Ring from your corpse.
#36 to #6 - ganondork (06/23/2015) [-]
Sorry, but this is the only acceptable explanation to me

Maybe Tom Bombadil is Eru Ilúvatar?
User avatar #83 to #48 - angelious (06/23/2015) [-]
there was a theory that he,aslan and our god are all the same dude with different disguises...but then again this was a discovery channel theory...so take it as you will.
User avatar #94 to #48 - ljxjlos (06/23/2015) [-]
Nope. Tolkien himself stated that he isn´t in a letter.

If you're wondering about how Arwen could "pass away" even if she was immortal, it's written in Silmarillion that elves can die in battle or from broken hearts.
#98 to #58 - zmranger ONLINE (06/23/2015) [-]
>from broken hearts
You mean like she slit her wrists? Or just lay down in one spot for days, pooping and peeing on herself, until she died from thirst and hunger?
#100 to #98 - beerholder (06/23/2015) [-]
a heavy heart, probably in their sleep. after ******** their pants
#63 - garymuthafuknoak (06/23/2015) [-]
do people like the fact that frodo ditched sam in the movie or hate it? as someone who watched the movies and read the books I feel that it worked in both settings respectively, but at the same time it seems like an insult to who frodo really was in the books.

User avatar #65 to #63 - erkaperkish (06/23/2015) [-]
Yeah, he's kind of a bitch in the movies.
User avatar #69 to #63 - headharvest (06/23/2015) [-]
i think they act about the same general way between the two, but the books make it clear that his impaired judgment is being caused by the ring and not just a character trait
User avatar #21 - Tyranitar (06/22/2015) [-]
Tom Bombadil was more powerful than Sauron and the Ring, but if it had been left with him, he would just forget about it, and Sauron and his forces would grow powerful enough after taking the rest of Middle-Earth to stand up to him and win. Gandalf himself says this.
User avatar #38 to #21 - liamdurf (06/23/2015) [-]
Tom was the master of his region of Middle Earth, but his power relative to the Maiar, and whether he had any power outside of his forest, remains unspecified.
User avatar #14 - stegosaurusrah (06/22/2015) [-]
hey op, the box didn't just contain earth it had a seed for one of the special trees from Lothlorien, which he planted in the Shire when he got home
#110 - thesimonved (06/23/2015) [-]
Tom Bomadil mentioned, swell with undying and nymph-loving pride furthermore here is a recipe for lembas bread: vomitingchicken.com/lembas-bread-one-bite-will-satisfy-a-man-for-an-entire-day/

what is the source on your picture?
User avatar #112 to #111 - thesimonved (06/23/2015) [-]
Well I did just google it
#34 - godofhorizons (06/23/2015) [-]
I don't know why but the fact about Arwen's death really gave me feels. Probably because of Elrond's warning.
