Are you going to leave me? No, Merry. I’m going to look after you.

Dangers of working on a set.
That’s what I said.
Okay but you forgot the best part! During the scene where Aragorn, Gandalf and the other Main CharaktersTM ride ahead to go shout at the gate (and talk to the mouth of sauron in the extended edition) they were very firmly told only to ride up ahead “this far” because that area was cleared and beyond that it wasn’t.
But. Viggo Mortensen is absolutely mad and lead them just…. a bit farther than that. Everyone else was very scared they might blow up any second. Viggo said it “added a little extra tension”.

Controversial Character Tournament Round 1: Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings
Seeing as I am seeing tons of racists go on and on about the new Lord of the Rings Magic set they never have to interact with but love to because it’s the new tissue paper veil they use to try to get away with open racism you need to remember two things. 1. *Points to the image* 2. The Tolkien Estate approved all the art so…*points to the image again*
“shit tier ugly ass elf” is Up There in terms of internet phrases that make me laugh every time i remember them
arguably the funniest post ever made
“don’t go where i can’t follow” is literally the most romantic thing anyone has ever said. it’s like. i’ll let you bring me anywhere—far from home, far from the places and people i love, so long as you stay with me. i’ll let you walk into danger and through hell, but i will not let you go where i can’t go with you. that is where i draw the line.
ULTIMATE TOLKIEN BLORBO: FINAL ROUND
“Still, I wonder if we shall ever be put into songs or tales. We're in one, of course, but I mean: put into words, you know, told by the fireside, or read out of a great big book with red and black letters, years and years afterwards. And people will say: "Let's hear about Frodo and the Ring!" And they will say: "Yes, that's one of my favourite stories. Frodo was very brave, wasn't he, dad?" "Yes, my boy, the famousest of the hobbits, and that's saying a lot."
'It's saying a lot too much,' said Frodo, and he laughed, a long clear laugh from his heart. Such a sound had not been heard in those places since Sauron came to Middle-earth. To Sam suddenly it seemed as if all the stones were listening and the tall rocks leaning over them. But Frodo did not heed them; he laughed again. 'Why, Sam,' he said, 'to hear you somehow makes me as merry as if the story was already written. But you've left out one of the chief characters: Samwise the stouthearted. "I want to hear more about Sam, dad. Why didn't they put in more of his talk, dad? That's what I like, it makes me laugh. And Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam, would he, dad?"'
'Now, Mr. Frodo,' said Sam, 'you shouldn't make fun. I was serious.'
'So was I,' said Frodo, 'and so I am.”

we make fun of thorin getting lost in the shire but you know the nazgul also had to keep asking for directions to find bag end so maybe hobbits’ city planning is just wack
The Hobbits have spent generations making their roads complex af to keep Gandalf out
Theory accepted
Which is also why Gandalf is always late
but of course this is the absolute Least successful way to keep GANDALF of all people out, because-
- it’s a challenge
- that WON’T potentially kill him
which is really in short supply lately.
so while the hobbits think they are being hostile. what they are actually saying in Gandalf-speak is “please come back. we love you.”
Gandalf needs environmental enrichment
