So, for those who weren’t there, and wanted to know the context of Ken’s quote, here’s what happened:
Me: Hi, I have a question for Ken. In the end of “The Battle of Five Armies” when Bilbo is about to leave Erebor, he says goodbye to Balin and Balin tells him that “Thorin Oakenshield will become a legend”. And Bilbo says “To me, he never was. He was…” and then Bilbo doesn’t quite finish his sentece and doesn’t say what Thorin was to him, but Balin gives him this this look, as if he knew what Bilbo was about to say. I was wondering, what was going through Balin’s mind in that moment?
Ken: Well… Balin knew what Thorin felt for Bilbo.
*audience cheers*
Ken: And I think he wanted to let Bilbo know… that Thorin held him in such high regard… That’s what I think he was doing.
so what ken stott’s saying is that when bilbo tries to explain what thorin was to him in this scene:
balin gives him this look that in fact means ‘thorin felt the same way about you’:
SO YOU’RE TELLING ME BILBO REALIZES AT THIS MOMENT THAT HIS FEELINGS WERE RECIPROCATED?? WHEN THIS IS TOO LATE????
And when Ken said that, beside him, Graham was looking at the left side of the audience after he heard someone squealed and he made a knowing look of a smirk. It was either he was amused, or he also agreed with what Ken had said. Oops I choose the latter. I think this cast is out there to kill us with this pain
It’s one of those nights where I google into the deep hours of the night and try to determine the composition of the Arkenstone! The film gave us a sort of fantasy glowing opal, but my results were different. In summary:
~=Cerussite is a ridiculously sparkly, heavy, and poisonous mineral associated with veins of gold which can also be poisoned. And it (with creativity) could conceivably be found in an extinct volcano.=~
Of course, there’s rather more where that came from because I don’t know when to stop when doing fantasy geology.
Pictures, Tolkien quotes, and geology under the cut. Warning: long thorough!
Scenes without background music: “Why would it upset you?”
JOHN……..
God this fucking parallel conversation (with later on in TRF).
I just want to punch it.
ALSO P.S. JOHN DOES THE SAME “K” SOUND THAT SHERLOCK DOES AND I WANT TO DIE
This scene is one of the big reasons I appreciate fanfics where John is actually perceptive and intelligent lol. I know it’s Sholto foreshadowing too, but like… John is a sharp guy.
I’ve also wondered if John is saying the bachelor thing aloud to see if him and Sherlock can have another conversation about it, except instead Sherlock is like, “I’m a sociopath dumbfuck,” and John’s like “I know bb try to be less of the dumbfuck part”
Aries: will either punch u in the face if u dare touch them or want to hug anyone and everyone there is no in between
Taurus: it feels great for the first 1.26 seconds but then it just gets real awkward real fast
Gemini: it’s always kinda weird n awkward if ur starting the hug but if they hug u first it is the most wonderful thing in the world omg
Cancer: u’d hug them if they actually came up for air during their thirty minute rant
Leo: life with them is like a perpetual mental hug but sometimes u just wanna punch em for bein a lil shit … In a loving way
Virgo: they are rly good at hugging u verbally but not physically
Libra: u sad? U gettin hugged. U happy? U gettin hugged. U find being hugged so often annoying? U gettin hugged.
Scorpio: literally every single physical touch is filled with sexual tension idek
Sagittarius: feel free to hug them but if they hug u first don’t act surprised if it was actually a sneak tickle attack
Capricorn: the awkwardness of the hug is far overpowered by the warm feel of them actually deciding to hug u back
Aquarius: good luck.
Pisces: approach w caution if ur not willing to be hugged for literally 30 minutes straight
try to be less of the dumbfuck part”
