earendil-was-a-mariner:

Tom Bombadil was around when the elves were passing west to Valinor. Which is fine, he’s a Maia and he’s old but like, did the elves stop and say hi? Did they ask Manwë who the heck that guy was? Was he wearing his blue jacket and yellow boots back then?

This could very much be up for debate. Are we sure Tom is a Maia?

Races that Tom Bombadil Could Be:

Man: no, put on One Ring, didn’t disappear. Too old.

Elf: no, states that he was around when elves went west, so clearly not an elf. says he remembers the creation of trees, so older than elf/man/dwarf.

Dwarf: no, too old/tall/put on One Ring, etc.

Valar: possibly, but we get a list of all of the Valar and he’s not one of them

Maiar: yes – old enough, powerful enough, magical enough. Only real possibility.

Illuvitar: a theory that I like, but basically just speculation, no proof. 

Except that Gandalf himself, who is a Maia, refuses to touch the Ring because he knows he could be corrupted. Saruman is corrupted by the Ring, although he didn’t see or touch it. In other words: Maiar are affected by the Ring. Tom Bombadil isn’t affected by it, in any way.

It’s an endless debate though, and it has been discussed so many times. I don’t think we would ever have an answer 😉

When Melkor got let into Valinor

redbayly:

Manwe: It’s not about winning, it’s about fun.

Melkor: *Looks at him blankly* What’s that?

Manwe: Fun is w…fun is…it’s kinda…sorta like a…what is fun? I…let me spell it for you.

*Sings*

F is for friendly bros who do stuff together

U is for Utumno’s no more

N is for Noldor, and all those shiny elves

Living in Valinor

Melkor: *Sings*

F is for Flame Imperishable that will burn down the whole world

U is for Ulmo…sucks

N is for no survivors, when I-

Manwe: Melkor! That’s not what fun is all about. Try it like this.

F is for frien-

Melkor: Never! That’s completely idiotic.

Manwe: Come on, Mel, just try it.

*Repeats the song*

Melkor: I don’t understand. I feel all tingly inside. Should we stop?

Manwe: No, that’s how you’re supposed to feel.

Melkor: Well, I like it. Let’s do it again!

*Melkor and Manwe duet*

F is for frolic through all the flowers

U is for ukulele

N is for never being alone again, now that it’s you and me.

*Later, Melkor is talking to Mairon on the palantir*

Melkor:..and after that, we frolicked through the flowers.

Mairon: Sounds like fun.

Melkor: Well, the really fun part was when-

Mairon: What did you do with the silmarils?

Melkor: The what?

Mairon: The silmarils?

Melkor: You can’t rush these things, you know.

Mairon: You’re forgetting the mission.

Melkor: What are you talking about?

Mairon: You’re going native, Melkor, look at yourself. *Mairon gestures to the pale lavender sweater with the words “Bros 4ever” in pink that Melkor is wearing*

Melkor: What?

Lembas Bread (Lord of the Rings “authentic” Elvish bread)

Ingredients: 

 2 ½ cups of flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
¼ teaspoon of salt
½ cup of butter
1/3 cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
½ teaspoon honey
2/3 cup of heavy whipping cream
½ teaspoon of vanilla

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425F. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and mix with a well till fine granules (easiest way is with an electric mixer). Then add the sugar and cinnamon, and mix them thoroughly.

Finally add the cream, honey, and vanilla and stir them in with a fork until a nice, thick dough forms.

Roll the dough out about ½ in thickness. Cut out 3-inch squares and transfer the dough to a cookie sheet.Criss-cross each square from corner-to-corner with a knife, lightly (not cutting through the dough).

Bake for about 12 minutes or more (depending on the thickness of the bread) until it is set and lightly golden.

***Let cool completely before eating, this bread tastes better room temperature and dry. Also for more flavor you can add more cinnamon or other spices***
