I Saw DoS Last Night....OH THE FEELS.

(I wrote this last night after I came home. I don't have any pictures to help me out because the bandwidths are low. So no loading of anything for me. I shall, however, load this place with pictures later in the new year. Yay. Here we go.)



Wow. Just, wow. There are so many feels that I don’t know how I am going to express them all without appearing like a crazed, fangirling lunatic. But hey, I don’t want to hide the truth. Hah. I will make this as sane as I possibly can.

First off, wow. Just wow. That was an amazing movie. Wow. I can’t think straight.

Bilbo Baggins. Aw man. He is just awesome. I am trying to decide if he turned out better than Frodo. Except Frodo has a sweet, little, hobbit-sized place in my heart, so I guess I could never really say who is better. But Wow. Just wow. His character has really developed. And I love how you can visually see how the ring is effecting him. It is working a little bit slower than with Frodo, but when the word “Precious” was used, he kind of freaked out.

The Dwarves. AH! They are just an adorable bunch. I noticed how Nori’s star-shaped hair never stayed neat for long…Thorin is just amazing. Like, please don’t get me started. He was perfectly majestic in the first film, and wow. IT JUST GETS BETTER. He seemed a bit different from the first time around, but I can’t put my finger on how he was different. Something to do with the gold…and I wonder if Dwarves are really greedy creatures…Hmm. We didn’t get to see much of Fili though. I missed him! I think he may have only said seven things throughout the entire movie. He said his brother’s name four out of those seven words. I do love how he cares for Kili though… J

OH MY GOSH, KILI!! Oh man, when I saw the arrow go into his leg, I almost gasped. But when he jumped into the barrel and snapped it completely off, even the dude besides me gasped. Mostly everyone in the theater gasped. I love how Tauriel went after him. Ugh. I ship those two so badly now. Going in to it, I really thought she would end up with Legolas—I guess he did too—but I like her much better with Kili. I loved the part where he thought that her being there was just a dream.

“Do you think she could have loved me?” Man. I love this guy. I cried. I was crying. It was so saddening and sweet at the same time.

Yeah, Kili, I think many, many “shes” could. J

The sad part is, I think I know what his fate is going to be. I DON’T WANT ANY SPOILER UGH. I try so hard to stay off anything that can spoil it for me. So, before school starts again on Tuesday, I am going to read the whole book. Then I will know what happens and can go sit in my dark, musty corner and cry by myself. There.

Wow. Mirkwood. Just wow.

Thranduil. Wow. Just wow. I cannot believe…wow. I knew he was fabulous, but WOW. His voice is much deeper than I thought it would be, but it works for him. Man, I hope we get to see more of him. Wow. He reminds me of Loki in some way, but I don’t quite know what that would be quite yet. Like, just his air, I guess. Give me an hour. I’ll figure it out. Wow.

Legolas. Now, Legolas was cool. He did a lot less trolling in this movie than in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It was cool how he seemed younger. His attitude was completely different too. I like the one part when he was in Laketown and the orc actually causes him to bleed. He wipes it off his nose like, “I’m wounded? Since when do I get wounded?” Hehe. He was cool. Dang. So cool. So much cooler than in LotR.

Laketown was cool. Bard and his family were really awesome.

Sorry, can I go back to how fantastic Mirkwood was? Geez.

DAT DRAGON.

Dang. Benedict Cumberbatch did a wonderful job. I still can’t get over it. I LOVED Smaug. His attitude was way different than what I expected. And he looked like Ben! Was I the only one that could see it? MAN ALIVE. I would still watch this film even if it was only Smaug. Oh his voice…much wow. The gold was awesome. And when they covered him in gold. That was brilliant. I love how Smaug was questioning Bilbo about Laketown, and I could just see the look in his eyes. It was easy to guess what he was thinking before he announced it.

LET’S GO DESTROY LAKETOWN! YAY!

The worst part of the whole thing was when Bilbo looked up and said, “What have we done?” I knew that the screen would turn black and say, “Directed by Peter Jackson.” And then it was over. And I didn’t stay long enough to hear the rest of the Ed Sheeran song. *frown*

Wow.

It was SO cool how you could see the fire in Smaug’s chest and neck before it came out his mouth. The CGI was probably the best I have ever seen in any of those movies. I mean…SMAUG. I can’t get over that. Oh noes.

And Radagast. Oh, he’s adorable. ♥

I fear for Gandalf. Heck, I always fear for Gandalf. He left the company and I was all, “WHERE ARE YOU GOING? DON’T LEAVE GANDALF! NOT NOW! BLAAAHHHH YOU’RE GONNA GET YOURSELF KILLED!!”

And then there was Suaron. I knew who it was the second I saw the eye. I said the name the same time Gandalf said it. Yikkkkkkesssssss.

All I need now is to bribe—I mean ask—someone to take me see it again in 3D!! If I can barely handle the big screen with my eyes, then 3D is gonna be epic. I mean, THAT DRAGON. In 3D??

I got home and clicked through the tv channels. Everything else is so insignificant now. I don’t want to watch anything else now.

And I think that may have been better than the first one. The spiders were creepy, and this is a newbie question, but what in the world is up with Thranduil’s face? It went all crazy on him. You know what? Don’t answer that. I want no spoilers. I’ll find out myself. It was probably in the book…I don’t think they would just add something like that if it wasn’t in the book at least a little.

Didn’t Gandalf warn them about crazy stuff that goes on?

I don’t know. I am too tired to remember right now. Again. Give me an hour.

I am so happy/excited right now. I need to wake up one of my friends and have them listen to me for a couple hours. Ugh.

Maybe I will just blast Josh Groban in my ears and fall asleep and try not to think about it. Heheheehahahhahhaahahhah.

[Enter Bilbo Baggin's Nope Gif. I can't find it. Blahhhhhh.]

I love this. I love it all.



I will be back, with more DoS blabbering ons.

*crazy laugh*

Random Notes While Watching a Movie

So, my little brother wanted to watch The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. He has never seen it before, and that status still remains because he fell asleep before we even hit the seven minute mark. Then the other child that was in the room was asleep by the ten minute mark. I, however, stayed till the bitter end (which was around midnight since we started at eight) and enjoyed every moment of it. So that makes three times I have watched it all the way through.

Anyway, I had a piece of printer paper and I was scratching down notes with a random (and a rather sticky) pencil. I actually filled the whole paper and then the back. I am going to post them without editing them! Hah! It was dark so I don’t know if the spelling will even be right…Maybe I will edit the spelling and then I will probably explain some situations. Because, you know, when you write down notes, you are basically the only one who will understand them later. And sometimes, I don’t even understand what they meant and then I get angry because I wasn't clearer with my chicken scratches.

Here we go!

PAGE 1*

Jed Brophy (Nori) was the first to burp during the dinner scene.

Fili was the first to throw the plate.

(Get screen of Kili being adorable.) Kili!!

Dwalin (Tattoo) moved the plate of cookies. [That happened when Gandalf went to lay out the map on the table.]

Bilbo’s feet were wrapped when drinking tea after fainting.

They [the dwarves] left the house as clean as it was before.

[Balin] winked at Bilbo (pony).

The look on Radagast’s face when the hedgehog died.

The look on Bilbo’s face when he’s contemplating owl hoots.
------

[We paused the movie for a moment and discussed Benedict's Cumberbatch's voice. (We originally started talking about the Necromancer for some reason.)

The conversation went like this:

Me: I heard Benedict Cumberbatch was going to be in the next movie.

Sis: Oh yeah. ~laughs~ He'll get to work with Watson.

Me: Yeah.

~seconds of sitting there after we both sigh because we are exhausted from talking~

Me: Benedict's voice is really cool.

Sis: Yeah.

(We had never heard him talk until we listened to a couple moments of "Ode to a Nightingale" on the internet somewhere.)

Me: It's really deep and so...so...British.

Sister looks at me.

We both start to laugh.]

-----

Kili was the first to attempt to save Bilbo from the trolls.

Bofur was the first to slide down into cave. [When they were running away from the orc pack.]

Son of Thrain-Thror- Thorin

Bofur was the first to ask [where] Bilbo was.

Nori looked back and saw Bilbo. [When he was being taken away by goblins (?)]

Nori’s crazy hair. [Seriously thought, it rocks. It’s shaped like a star. It’s a rock star…aHawah]

F and K [Fili and Kili] were the first to run in and help B [Bilbo]D was right behind them. [I don’t remember what D stood for…probably Dwalin…]

“I wish you all the luck in the world.”

PAGE 2**

“Even good stories need embellishment.”

Misty Mountain at the end is EPIC.

Drawing of a key. [This was a reference to Captain Jack Sparrow and I was going to make some kind of picture out of it or something…Because Thorin had a key…I don’t know.]

“You know nothing of the world.”

Thorin

Hobbit Tartare and Dwarves, a little butter, a little salt. [This was my sister, she walked in when Bilbo was suggesting ways to season the Dwarves.]

“He’s been lost since he left home.” ~Thorin


That is the end of the paper. At the bottom of the second part, there was this weird drawing I did…I don’t know what or who it is exactly…





Hmm.

We Shall Make it a Funny Post! With Pictures!

So, it's been a while since I did a huge post of pictures. And I haven't been on very much because my internet keeps going out and it never gets back...Needless to say my Pinterest home feed is jammed and I found a bunch of LoTR and THobbit funnies.

WE SHALL BEGIN!






This is SOOOOO CUTE!!

Bahahaha

~evil laugh~

The Lord of the Rings behind the scenes... THE SPLINTER!!!!! I LOVED THIS SO MUCH! HAHAHAHAHA

Ahahaa.

very funny!
Hahaha.

Looks like my little kitten, Fili!

I found this picture of a kitten on Pinterest. Do you know what the comment said?

"Looks like my little kitten, Fili!"
I had an epic face palm moment. Is it possible that I am THAT unoriginal? 'Cept the kitty in the picture looks more like my brothers kitten than my own...

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

YES xD

Ahahaa....Yeah....no comment on this one....
See???  I told you he was a real Wizard!


I shall forever sing the LOTR version of this song. :)


Well.

That's all I can come up with at the moment...

ENJOY!!

Falling.

 I have had a song stuck in my head for days now. It is called, "Falling." By none other than The Civil Wars. I know, I have been a little obsessed with them lately...So, maybe if I post the video and lyrics, it will be out of my head. I doubt it. Highly.

Haven't you seen me sleepwalking,
'Cause I've been holding your hand
Haven't you noticed me drifting
Oh let me tell you I am
Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Ooh let me tell you I am
Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling
Out of love with you, ooh
Why I am feeling so guilty
Why I am holding my breath
I'm worried 'bout everyone but me
And I just keep losing myself
Tell me it's nothing
And try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh let me tell you I am
Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love
With you
Oh, won't you read my mind
Don't you let me lie here
And die here
Oh, please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling
Out of love with you
With you, oh
Haven't you noticed
I'm sleepwalking

There we go. That should do it.

I think that if I could ever get myself to learn the guitar, this would be the first song I would learn. Oh heck, I would learn the whole album first. It is a change from posting about Thorin. So that's good...I think.

Speaking of Thorin, since Merlin is ending, my sister and I were in search of a new BBC drama. We looked at things such as Doctor Who, Sherlock--sister freaked when she saw the trailer because she read the book and it was just like it (I was just confused because Martin Freeman was there...and I was like, Bilbo? Why are you Watson?? Where are the Dwarves?)--and Robin Hood. I think in the end, we decided on Robin Hood first. I was scrolling down on the cast list on IMDB and a name struck me as familiar.

It was Richard Armitage.

This guy.

And I was like, isn't that Thorin?

There I go again...

Whatever.

Your argument is invalid...

But I was right, anyway, so that's all that matters.

So, I stepped back and said, "We are watching that."

Enough said.

He's even kinda majestic without being Oakenshield....

Whatever.


I must go get my sanity back.
Maybe.
It's way too hot outside to be sane.

Merlin things. Comic con. Funny faces.

 So, well, ~bursts into tears~ WE FINISHED SEASON 3 OF MERLIN AND THERE ARE ONLY 3 EPISODES LEFT OF SEASON 5!!!! WAAAAAH.

 But, there was a DVD that had extras on it. So...my sister and I, and my dear puppy, Ginger, sat down and watched them. Beyond the hilarity of Bloopers, there was some funny business on the Comic Con video. I have some screenshots from it. I think it would be great to go to Comic Con...I have found out that there is a Hobbit Con as well...~laughs maniacally ~



This was just Anthony and Colin laughing hysterically at something. It's hard to look at it without laughing, or at least smiling. :D SEE!? IT BE COMIC CON!


THIS IS SO TRUE!! 
Margaret, my sister, and I were like, "OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO SO SO TRUE!" when we heard Colin say this. For it is completely true. His Father was in one episode. At the end of the episode--DEAD. A girl that was a love interest for Merlin (Lady of the Lake)...One episode--and we were so happy for him because only Arthur gets pretty girls or whatever--and then...end of episode...DEAD.

EVERYONE HE LOVES DIIIIIEEESSSS.
Fin-- 


Bradly being a goofball behind Colin. Too funny not to take a screenshot of. Haha.


Then there was this. I don't know what was going on, or what they were looking at, but it just never gets old. I believe we watched this blooper scene...3 times...? Maybe? It just was funny every time! And it continued to be funny...

I might as well post my other funnies here while I am at it. They are also screenshots I took. I mean, what do you think I did last night for two hours? I wasn't sleeping...

Hehe.


He likes visitors...as much as the next...Hobbit, but he really likes to know who they are before they come...visiting. I just thought it was funny. All of my screenshots aren't in order, but they still make sense...if you are clever enough. I am jesting. :)


It seems I have a comment for all of these. I don't like how this one's a little smushed and blurry, but I use paint...I don't have GIMP or Photoshop or the fancy things. Paint suits me just fine. Anyway, I just thought it was funny what they were discussing. You have to listen really hard (or have the captions on) to hear it. Hehe.

Bilbo. In the background. Where are they coming from?

What I thought was funny here was, that, it may be eaten by the block, but Bofur has an entire ham...


Again, the background words. Captions are awesome.


These weren't in the same sequences...but it saved me time putting them together rather than saving them in...etc. I don't know how to explain how it saved me time. It just did. I loved the top face, and the bottom one as well. He is just a sad, funny little dude.


Me on bad days. Face and all.


Comment here, same as the one above. Just kidding. Bebother and Confusticate are excellent words though...


Bilbo--in the back. Ha.


Me, trying to remember the dwarves.


Gloin's comment in the background. Classic.

I say this every day. I kid you not.




Nori's comment. 

That was a very, very long and picture filled post. I think I may need to take a nap after that one. It was worth it thought.

~Natsu~

Because of Thorin...

 The other day, I was trying to remember all of the names to all 13 Dwarves. I get pretty far...maybe 10 of them, and then I can't remember. My little sister--who is standing next to me--goes, "Sleepy!" It was super cute. So now, when I get past the few I know, I just continue with Sleepy, Dopey, and Doc. Hehe...

Why Thorin, you ask? Well, I have already done a post with Ori in it...I do believe...and I had a discussion with one of my sisters on how majestic this guy is. There is this board game--it was one of my Dad's old ones--called "Mad Magazine-The Game." My sister said something about it...and...yeah, here:

This is the box-front of the game.

This is a spot on the board.

Needless to say, he can go anywhere on the board...

OWNED

I shall be back, I have many, many Hobbit and Dwarf things to post...

I win. I knew it was Ori.

 So, I noticed while taking screenshots from The Hobbit, that that movie has excellent colors! I mean, there are browns and golden colors and all sorts of blues and I can't remember the rest, but I know that they were beautiful.

 A lot of movies that I have taken screenshots from do not have color like this one. I couldn't believe how well the shots came out. I mean, look at these!


This one I actually took a couple months ago. From the first Lord of the Rings. I loved the green so much I took a screenshot of it. The colors of The Shire are amazing!


Radagast the Brown, I believe that is his name. It may not look the way on different screens like it does on my screen...but the greens in the background are incredible! Look at the blue orb in his staff! ~shrill cry~ AWESOME. 

I like Radagast. He's cool. He is totally like me. In the sense that I prefer animals over human companionship. But I have no magical powers...as it would seem. That, or I just haven't unlocked my TRUE POTENTIAL!! Oh dear, I went a little "Ninjago" there...

But I do have magical powers. As of now. I just need to unlock them.
Yeah.
That's right.



Then there are two here of Galadriel. (I am quite sure that is her name.)  I can't express how much respect I have for her...
But they did turn out really well. The blues and purples and the like. They turned out beautifully. 
Yay.

But I believe that I said something about Ori, and I have neglected that up until now.

I took screenshots with the captions on. If you watch the beginning scene when the Dwarves raid Bilbo's pantry with the captions on, there are a bunch of funny things that the dwarves say to each other in the background. 

Here is what I came up with.


DO YOU SEE ALL THE BROWNS?!?!!? THEY ARE BEAUTIFULLLLLL!!!!!! 
Anyway, this is what I was talking about. 

And then there was this thing I found on Pinterest moments ago. It fit the theme.


 
Yeah. I think that the cardigan and the mittens really made him better. :) My mom knits, so, of course I am asking her to make me some of the mittens...

That would make them "knittens."
That was a joke.
A play on words.
No?
Okay.

I crochet and don't really have an interest in knitting. I don't do that much crochet as it is either...
One of my favorite parts is when Bilbo makes the comment about how it's not a dishcloth, it's a doily. And how it's supposed to have holes in it, it's crochet. Then Bofur makes the comment about how it's a wonderful game...or something like that. ~facepalm~ Hilarious.

I honestly repeat that line about how it's not a dish cloth--towel, one of the two--every day. It's CROCHET.

I think it was Bofur. Oh dear. I swear I will get them all in line one day. Hehe.

One more thing before I go.
I found these places: Hobbit name generator-- and Elvish name generator--

So as a result of that, my Hobbit name is Daisy Foxburr of Loamsdown, and my Elven name is Idril Helyanwë. I think the Elvish one is pretty...and I may start going by that in real life. Once I can pronounce it correctly. I think it's pretty basic. Id-ril, like "lid-shrill." Something like that.

Unless it's Idril, like "eye-drill."
Or nothing like that altogether.
I still like it.
Daisy is a cute name, however.
Meh, we'll see.

Happy almost the end of April.
I shall return.

I dislike empty calories...

...but I just adore potato chips...

I don't have much to say tonight. I have a bunch of things to do before I can post the thing I had planned for a blog post. Something about...Ori. Yeah.

As it would seem, many of the things he says strikes me as...cute--would that be the word? I don't know. The plan is I have a bunch of screenshots and well, I won't spoil the rest. ^.^ I just think he's cool.

I watch The Hobbit again yesterday. Every time I see it, my personal respect for each Dwarf gets a little bigger. I feel worse for poor Smeagol, and I think that Gandalf is well...him.♥

I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means ME!
Anyway, I figured out how to act like Smeagol when out in the public world. I guess the first step would be talking to yourself. Easy enough for me, I do it enough. Next, I notice that he is constantly telling himself to shut up. So, if you randomly shout shut up at yourself...well, you get the gist. I haven't actually yelled at myself quite yet...But I am constantly arguing, or "debating" with myself. So again, it's not that hard for me.

Except I am not tortured by a magic ring...

I am, however, tired. It's been a long day. And probably a longer day tomorrow. I'll do my best to get those screenshots and shout my joy into the Heavens...from the top of somewhere, very high!

That was, somewhat of a quote from Luigi from Cars...Yay for quotes.

I am also going to start running tomorrow. Let's hope that goes well.

Night,

I found more funnies...HOBBIT FUNNIES!!

Okay, so I have been meaning to post this certain one because I thought it was SOOOO CUTE!

There are only two I have so far...

This one I loved because it is adorable. I mean, Bilbo is in a baby carrier...SO AWESOME. And all the dwarves have little backpack-leash things. It's so awesome....Hah. Gandalf was totally like the babysitter... ^.^


And then this one. It's just like Adventure Time! Right?!? Lol. I love the stuff I find on Pinterest. The internet--in certain aspects--is amazing.

Have an amazing evening...and, go on an adventure!

~Natsu

PS:
Updated later that evening...found this. Could not just close the window without blogging it...Loved it...

You shall not splash!!

OK
BYE
I SWEAR I AM DONE NOW.
