My favorite part is when Eowyn feeds 5000 people at helms deep with just one bowl of bad fish soup.

Fucken poser pretending it’s not Tom Bombadil’s song about Goldberry.

Depends how good a signer they are when reading... It may also be the worst part of the book 😵

"Their taking the Hobbits to Eisengard".....gard gard gard gard.

"Have you ever read the Greatest Story Ever Told?"
Not all of the additional ones or all the appendixes, but yes, the main parts.
Reminded me of a post I read long ago talking about the Greatest Story line that is often used for the Bible. "THIS??? THIS is the greatest story ever told? WTF?" It's really not that great overall. Quotable, sure...but the plot and characters suck.

"Have you ever read the Greatest Story Ever Told?"
Yes, and the (old) Bible's authors have too (Gilgamesh and Atrahasis Epics).

Btw, I'm currently reading The Hobbit to my 5yo before bed and she fucking loves it.
Now she want a Smaug teddy... If anyone have this somewhere, I'm interested.

You can get pattern for making a plush smaug yourself of etsy for relative little money. If you don't know how to use it you might have somebody in your social circle who could help you out.
Generic plush dragons should be easy to find in the Internet, I saw at least ons of Amazon (tough there hopefully are better options).

I didn't though about etsy, thanks for the tips !

When I was a child (5ish) my mum and I sewed a little dragon plush together. It was too cute to be smaug and I hadn't read the Hobbit yet but I love it. Making it was fun too, I have no idea how my mum figured it all out. The suggestion I saw with a pattern seems good but I also wanted to add that for me personally being involved in making my cuddly toy was great and if your child is interested in sewing or just generally being creative (which seems likely) that could be a great experience for your child.

I don't remember reading about this in the Toki Pona book.
-
That's a really weird way of spelling The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
(I should learn toki pona so I could at least translate the holy book's title)
-
It's in Appendix E.

He's obviously fibbing, if he read it he would know that Gollum destroys The Ring.
Eru.
He doesn't like to intervene, but between a few things like Gandalf being sent back and the oops he gave to the finale, he was like...okay, free will and whatever but the song needs to progress to the next movement. We can't keep repeating this.
Frodo carried it all the way there. Frodo spared Gollum’s life when he wanted sooo bad to kill him instead. He had remembered Gandalf’s words: “it was pity that stayed Bilbo’s hand.” It was Frodo’s mercy in sparing Gollum’s life that destroyed the ring. Had he chosen to kill Gollum then the ring would’ve survived and the cycle of violence would’ve continued.
Frodo was a hero not only because he was courageous in the face of overwhelming odds. He was a hero because he was merciful. By sparing Gollum’s life, he never allowed himself to be tainted by the ring’s dark logic: that ends always justify means.
its still probably a mistake to be merciful to those who want to hurt you, on the off chance that the way they hurt you might end up bypassing the defenses of some cosmic horror
Came here to mention this.
