Dear Heart, It’s Me

the movie really undersells the fact that frodo spent half a year planning to make his departure from the shire as inconspicuous as possible and merry and pippin and sam saw him doing that, figured out he was leaving the shire and that it had something to do with bilbo’s ring, and then spent nearly as long preparing to go with him. icons

Do you ever think about how none of the Hobbits died in the Shire? They all left it when their time had come, as if they couldn’t bear it to face death in the land they all went through so much for.

I mean, imagine how those goodbyes must have been for them and for their families. We know of Sam and Elanor but what about Pippin and his son Faramir? Or Merry and his potential children? How did they say goodbye to them, presuming that they knew this journey east would be their last one? That they would never see their loved ones again? Had they made peace with that?

Also the way how their final destination mirror eachother: Frodo, Bilbo and Sam’s last destination, the undying lands, the west, the home of immortal heroes from ages past; and Merry and Pippin’s last destination, Minas Tirith, the east, the home of mortal heroes of the present.

Just thinking about the fact that none of the Hobbits stayed in the Shire until the very end

The people who are like “why are you wishing death on these billionaires?!” are not understanding what is going on. It’s one thing to wish death on people and it’s another thing to have no sympathy for people who died in a situation they were cautioned heavily to not do.

I don’t want anyone to die, to be truthful; but here are the facts:

• That sub is 2 miles down in the ocean where the pressure is immense and the temperature is unbearable.
• The Titanic wreckage is literally 111 years old. The Titanic is wasting away and any slight jarring on her will cause her to collapse in that space. This is not new news.
• The safest way to experience the Titanic’s wreckage is looking through archives OR going to the museum. I know it would be astounding to look at in person, but… no.
• Most importantly, the wreckage is also a graveyard. People’s bones disintegrated because of the pressure and salinity of the water, but the shoes, that were treated with tannic acid, remain. Anybody with common sense knows that you don’t go an disturb and desecrate graveyards. You just don’t.

So, no… I feel zero sympathy for those people who should’ve just been told “no” more often in their life.

I hold absolutely no love for billionaires trespassing on the Titanic wreck/the grave of 1500 people quite frankly, but I didn’t wish death on them. Right now I’m just thinking about the words of Jack Dawson: “life is a gift” and “you never know what hand you’re gonna get dealt next”. If nothing else, I think we can all agree on that.
