I love how you said it's always kind of THERE in the back of your mind for you to compare other stories to. Like the golden standard or something.<br /><br />I mean, doesn't it have to be Barad-Durd and Orthanc??? At least, in the movies????

Yeah, I'm not sure that I could call the movie a favorite, either -- the jury's still out on the book. I've read it a few times now and I love it, but I still don't know if I can technically classify it as a FAVORITE?? But, like you say, the CHARACTERS are definitely some of my favorite characters ever, at the very least. :)Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-86886908310801159642017-10-02T11:49:00.857-04:002017-10-02T11:49:00.857-04:00I understand. :D I'm hoping/planning to redo m...I understand. :D I'm hoping/planning to redo my design sometime soon. :)<br /><br />^^Everything you said. Agreed. :)<br /><br />Ohhhh that's why he looked vaguely familiar! Max! Yes, I have seen the movie version of The Book Thief. I remember liking it well enough (and YES. It's much cleaner than the book, which was a relief. :)). I'd have to watch it again to revisit my opinion. On the whole, I think it's too sad to be a favorite of mine, but I do remember loving certain moments and the CHARACTERS, of course. :)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315660089925645214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-63679037733542971572017-09-30T14:48:38.514-04:002017-09-30T14:48:38.514-04:00Amen!! ;D

I like changing with the seasons so I decided to try a more autumnal one. :)) <br /><br />Haha, you wouldn't think it to look at me now, would you? ;-P <br /><br />YASS EXACTLY. I'm so glad you relate! :)<br /><br />DITTO *all the hugs*<br /><br />I KNOW RIGHT. I was like *awestruck eyes emoji*<br /><br />Aww, thanks! I'm glad! Yes, I like that, too. :)<br /><br />Just . . . yes. No. Precisely. <br /><br />RIGHT?!?!??! I don't think it made me cry, either, but re-reading it for this post? I was like, "OKAY BUT YOU'RE ACTUALLY MAKING MY NOSE/EYES TINGLE WITH THAT PRE-CRYING THING." So glad you liked it, too!! :D<br /><br />(Hahaha! Ah, I probably wouldn't have caught that! Sneaky hobbit. ;))<br /><br />AWWWW! *blushes* The picture to the right of the Anastasia picture (<3 I know) is from the movie version of The Book Thief. Have you ever watched that movie? I know you weren't a fan of the book (for VERY legitimate reasons!), but they actually kind of resolve most of those issues in the movie. So I feel like you might like it more? I haven't seen it in a long while, so I can't remember exactly how much language the movie has, but I remember it's a GREAT deal less than the book. I think Jesus' name is used in vain at least once, and I'm sure God's name is, too (but I don't thiiiiink it was much more than the average period drama). Anyway, just an idea! :) Like I said, I can't vouch for exactly how much there is; I just remember there's a significant difference. :)<br />Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-73000888510213652702017-09-30T14:34:19.304-04:002017-09-30T14:34:19.304-04:00SISSY!!!!! :D :D Yaaassss, but one mind and one m...SISSY!!!!! :D :D Yaaassss, but one mind and one manner of thinking in this regard. ;) Thanks so much for commenting! :D <3Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-51017024096049705442017-09-30T14:32:57.143-04:002017-09-30T14:32:57.143-04:00Evangeline, I KNOW RIGHT.

I feel like Rivendell would hold such emotion and nostalgia I wouldn't be able to cope. I'd get too lonely. I'd need the social, jovial company of hobbits. ;D<br /><br />FARAMIR FOREVER. <3 <3 <3<br /><br />.... no, scratch that.<br /><br />FARAMIR AND EOWYN FOREVER. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3<br /><br />It's just, oh my goodness, such a rollercoaster ride of emotion that story.

Too many emotions and such a weight of history and such -- a restful place, but not one I want to stay in a long time, I think. Even though it's my fave place in Middle-earth.<br /><br />Your favorite character is my favorite character's little brother. I find this oddly appropriate.<br /><br />And yes, it says ten *of* your favorite lines, because choosing absolute favorite lines would be much too awful and hard and sad and impossible.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-67827846797107659372017-09-18T21:08:08.793-04:002017-09-18T21:08:08.793-04:00Gahhhh you changed your blog design!!! I'm so ...Gahhhh you changed your blog design!!! I'm so torn because WOW THIS IS STUNNING. But I loved the last one, too. :( But this is so beautiful......and very autumnal. I approve. <3<br /><br />Wow really?? I had no clue you weren't a Tolkien fan right from the get go. I'm going to have to read that post now...<br /><br />The "ultimate epic". TOTALLY AGREE. And yessss, while there are so many different genres and "kinds" of good books, the Lord of the Rings kind of is the highest standard for literary excellence. At least, that's kind of how I think of it. :)<br /><br />AWWW. I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE A LOTR FAN, THEN. Not that I already wasn't. But you get it. Reasons. :)<br /><br />THAT SONS OF FORGOTTEN KINGS PICTURE THOUGH.<br /><br />Ahhh you make me appreciate Faramir's character more than I would naturally, I think. So thank you for that. I love it when people make me see a character in a different light. :)<br /><br />Ugh. Yes. That Certain Man. I just......I get so angry whenever he's around. :P<br /><br />Ok so I can't recall whether Éowyn and Faramir's moment in RotK book made me cry, but reading it this time....awwwwwwww. I shed some tears. :') THEY ARE SO SO SO PRECIOUS. <3333<br /><br />(Haaa. I just saw what I did there. I promise that was NOT intended. xD)<br /><br />Okay I was just staring at your header again.....TIS SO BEAUTIFUL.

All the feels ... we have exactly the same attitude towards LOTR being the BESTEST but also too intense for watching/reading as much as we would otherwise like. Also, I'd take Samwise or Strider to Mordor with me if I had to be the Ring-bearer.
