Most people looked at him with terror and with fear, but to Gondor chicks he was such a lovely dear
I can't get over how different the Lord of the Rings books are from the Lord of the Rings movies, and how much I - in general - prefer the movies. I'm pretty sure this makes me a bad person (writer? fantasy fan?) in some way. Mostly I am just so tired of Gandalf and all the non-entities that surround him. I know, I know. But The Return of the King really should be called The Return of the Gandalf, because he's all Ra-Ra-Rasputin right now. Uh oh, Boney M segue!
Wow, re-imagining that song with LOTR just made my morning substantially better. Must resist temptation to revise entire lyrics to fit LOTR.
I also can't get over how my mother refuses to accept that Lord of the Rings was written in the 1940s and not the 1600s. I keep telling her, and she keeps going, "really??!"
ETA: Crap, I'm becoming convinced that I need to totally re-structure the current short story WIP from the perspective of a new protagonist. FUCKING HELL AFTER ALL THIS WORK
