All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. - J.R.R. Tolkien (died: 2 September 1973)

#dude #Elrond #you’re a motherfucking Elf man #you could’ve felled that mortal motherfucker with a quirk of one perfectly manicured eyebrow #but no #you let that whiny little bitch walk off with the fucking One Ring and basically doomed all of Middle Earth to war #was it because you got dirty? #is that like Elven kryptonite? #your face got dirty and therefore you couldn’t get your bitchass in gear long enough to shove one puny human into a lake of fire? #is that why Legolas always keeps his face so damn clean all the time? #cause he learned from your dirty sweaty mistakes and knows that all that stands between him and obscurity is a bar of Dove soap? #wait…what was I talking about? #oh right #The One Ring #way to drop the ball son
You had one job.
You know, now that you mention it...
Elrond could have cut down two books* and six long movies* to a short story and a half-hour TV special.
*Yes, two books and six movies. If the One Ring had been destroyed here, "The Hobbit" and the other two LotR movies would not have happened.
