@BDaveWalters B. Dave: "I can't carry the ring..., but I can bench press you, Mr. Baggins!" 😀
@BDaveWalters I watched LoTR for the first time last Christmas. I'm emosh reading this ;-;
@BDaveWalters Sam used to be my favorite but, the older I get, the more I think Peregrin "Pippin" Took is the real role-model. Dude showed *immense* growth of character, and I respect that.
@BDaveWalters Don't tell the other goblins, but I say be Gimli. He weeps and rages and goes down swinging. He sees a hopeless stand at the black gate and he laughs. He knows they are going to lose and he is there for it because he said "You have my Axe" and he fucking meant it.
@BDaveWalters Joseph Campbell teaches us that many heroes succeed in their quest, but are profoundly changed--often damaged and unable to claim the benefits of their quest for themselves.
@BDaveWalters this is going to be the reason i actually read lord of the rings watch.
