- me: ... I hope you realize that this is not the way this conversation is meant to go.
Hobbits have been living and farming in the four farthings of the Shire for many hundreds of years, quite content to ignore and be ignored by the world of the big folk. Middle Earth being, after all, full of strange creatures beyond count, Hobbits must seem of little importance, being neither renowned as great warriors nor counted among the very wise. In fact it has been remarked by some that Hobbits’ only real passion is for food. A rather unfair observation as we have also developed a keen interest in the brewing of ales and the smoking of pipe weed. But where our hearts truly lie is in peace, and quiet, and good tilled earth. For Hobbits share a love of things that grow. And yes no doubt to others our way seems quaint. But today of all days, it is brought home to me. It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life.

rally 'round the history: crookedsin: Does it ever freak you guys out to think that these...
Does it ever freak you guys out to think that these historical figures actually existed
like sometimes I’m just sitting there and I think like
Robespierre was real he was walking around and talking to people and there’s a way he looked and smiled that we’ll never fully be able to understand as students of history
I don’t know this sounds stupider now that I type it out
I mean, of course I know they were real people but it’s one thing to look at portraits all day and another to think of these figures as living, breathing entities who could have passed you on the street or spoken to you or did normal every day things
idk it’s freaky to me
