Why didn't just Tom wear the Ring as he makes passionate love with his wife, so he can force Sauron to watch.

Sauron, who is a virgin, who never had a gf and was dismembered and reduced to a giant eye by a fucking human would realize he is nothing compared to Tom, whose girth is beyond even Eru Ilúvatar's comprehension.

Wishing to die but unable to kill himself as he doesn't even have a fucking hand to pull the trigger, he would order his orc armies to piss on him, so that the flames of his eye can be extinguished and his mind can be set free of Tom's all encompassing girth. His spirit would be released to the boundless void that ripples and contorts with Tom's mighty thrusts and he would find no solace.

Edit: When Tom thrusts his final thrust and shoots a billion Bombadillos deep into Goldberry's loins, the impact would shatter Sauron's soul into a billion Saurodillos and he would be free. When this happens, not even the wisest can tell.

Babe wake up, new copypasta just dropped.

But also, the ring has no power over Bombadil, so Sauron would see nothing.

I have added this to my copypasta repository. This needs to be made official somehow.

Well...

Since they didn't get trapped in the barrow downs (and subsequently saved by Tom) they didn't find the barrow swords, specifically enchanted to be effective against the ~~which~~ witch King.

When merry stabs the ~~which~~ witch king therefore nothing should happen.

literally unwatchable.

smh the haters in the comments don't seem to be Goldberry appreciators

That is not how I imagined Goldberry

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

This Goldberry does not appear to be slender as the willow-wand. This Goldberry be thicc.

[–] PineRune@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, MTG took some liberties when creating the art for the LOTR characters. I think a lot of people criticized them for being too woke in this set.

Tom's the best you goddamn ingrates

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Anyone who says this is just coping. Hate them if you must, but I would pity them.

He really isnt, outside the plot point of where the dagger that killed the witch king came from.

The Scouring of the Shire, on the other hand...

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

Those poor Hobbits

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 14 points 7 hours ago

I read the books twice. I will never get those hours slogging through Toms chapters back and he was entirely irrelevant to the plot.

It was like a fever dream that could have been written off as a mass hallucination of the hobbits after Merry and Pippin share some weed they stole from Gandalf.

I skip all his songs. Page ahead. And I will continue to do so.

Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! My darling!
Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling.
Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight,
Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight,
There my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter,
Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water.
Old Tom Bombadil water-lilies bringing
Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing?
Hey! Come merry dol! Derry dol! and merry-o,
Goldberry, Goldberry, merry yellow berry-o!
Poor old Willow-man, you tuck your roots away!
Tom's in a hurry now. Evening will follow day.
Tom's going home again water-lilies bringing.
Hey! Come derry dol! Can you hear me singing?

Tom's in a hurry now.

This is proof that Tom is a filthy fucking liar, everything he does takes forever for no reason at all.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 2 points 46 minutes ago (1 children)

I can relate to that though

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 40 minutes ago (1 children)

You're a filthy fucking liar too?

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 2 points 25 minutes ago

No, I dawdle.

No.

I fucking hated the Tom Bombadil character, he's an insufferable annoying twat with all his bullshit singing, I'm so happy he wasn't in the movies.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world -1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Even worse... they put him in the SHIT television series

[–] rock_hand@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

He’s awesome in the show.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Bullshit. Tom is just an obnoxious character.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 2 points 44 minutes ago

Okay old man willow
