LORD OF THE RINGS!!!

[Nellas]

I don't really know what character I'm most like. I'd like to be an elf, but to be honest I'm most like a hobbit. I like a quiet, simply led and happy life, with nothing too unexpected. But I do like a good 'adventure' every now and then; I'm sure I wouldn't be very well respected in Hobbiton at all, always running off to explore and such. But I appreciate food and a home to go back to, and of course the pure beauty of the Shire and the friendly community and all <33 I was always drawn to nature at heart, and the simple pleasures in life. If you think about it, there's so much wisdom in The Shire; giving presents instead of recieving, living simply without too much that's fancy, growing your own food, etc. I just, love Tolkien <333

@poler; Does iTunes have the extended version? I hope so, some of the extras are really beautiful <3 But, of course, what can I say, we're talking about Howard Shore here ^^ And that's another reason why I really respect Eowyn and Tolkien c: Because he kind of went against the grain of what was expected for society with her then, or at least from what I know of it, you know what I mean? In Tolkien there's a little bit for anyone, even, I suppose, a bit of romance here and there.
And Poler (do you mind if I capitalize?) yes. Yesyesyes. Those are my friends! I mean, most of them, regrettably, haven't even seen the Avengers. But those who do all like Thor and Captain America because they're 'hot'. And maybe they are. But does that have to be the reason you like them the most out of all characters? No. No, no, no. Sure even I think Thor is attractive, but he's also vain, and arrogant. So no. Poler, this. It's one of my pet peeves too ^^ Isn't that part of what a fangirl is, though? Liking them for their looks or whatever, not for their personality? So you see what I mean.

And you have no idea how much I'm against shipping. I mean, it's fine for this and that, not that I'd do it anyways, but there are some people who take it really seriously. Whereas I prefer to stay true to the author's word, and with an author like Tolkien I can't imagine ever going against what he said to be the way it is. If that even makes sense.

I don't mean to offend anyone about anything in this post ^^ It's just my own opinion.

Thank you! That is exactly how I feel about it. And people that overly ship characters with other characters, that is annoying. I mean, I do ship characters sometimes, but not because they'd "make a cute couple" or whatever, but because they are just really good partners/friends. Take Sam and Frodo. I ship them because they're a really good team, not because I think they love each other or something like that. Just friends, you know? And I'm not going against gay marriage/partnership, as one of my family members is actually gay and I support him all the way, but I just wouldn't ship characters that way.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that when I ship characters, I don't do it because I think they're in love or would look good like that. I just do because they're a good team. But I'm rambling, as I tend to do.

Wow. I hate it when people only like a character for their looks. I also dislike shipping. :/

iTunes has a "special edition". It has two parts, one with 15 tracks, and the other with 17. Some seem to be called "bonus tracks". Maybe they're the same?

You can capitalize my name ^^ I would probably do the same if I was talking to users with non-capitalized names. I only have one friend who hasn't seen the Avengers. She doesn't watch many movies anyway, but the reason she isn't interested in the Avengers is because she told me all of her friends where she comes from are major Avengers fangirls, and she's heard so much about all the characters that she's just not interested in it anymore. I find that a little sad. Perhaps if instead she had heard about how interesting it was to see the different well known characters play off each other and interact, and if she had heard of the plot of the antagonist, she may have found it interesting. When I told my friends who fangirled over Thor and Captain America that my favorite character was Loki, they said "Ew, but Loki is so ugly!"

At least there's only three to four relationships in the Lord of the Rings, so we can all focus more on the characters and the story line, which i find FAR more interesting. When I read the Lord of the Rings, I feel like I'm reading something that really happened. I think I stole that line from one of the cast, I feel I've heard it before XD But it's true, I do feel that way. Would you ship real people? I certainly wouldn't. So I certainly wouldn't ever ship a Lord of the Rings character.

They're the most like me out of all the characters. Except, well, they're male.

That reminded me of something. The characters of the Lord of the Rings are more than 50% male. None of the fellowship are female, there are no female wizards. The only ones I can name are Eowyn, Galadriel, Arwen and Rosie. Do you guys think that this movie is better because it's not the stereotypical "hero get's the girl" movie? Frodo never got a girl, neither did Legolas, or Gimli, or Boromir. There were only three relationships by the end of the trilogy, I believe. One of them was already in place when it started (Arwen and Aragorn). I prefer it this way, and I feel it's part of why it's so unique. Take Harry Potter for example, by the end of it, all the characters still alive pretty much got together with another character, so it just kind of seemed like one giant ship-fest xD

I agree with this too. C:
