the fact that at the council of elrond glorfindel is like “just throw the ring into the ocean” is so funny to me after reading the silmarillion just because it feels like the subtext is him being like “yeah let’s try maglor’s patented and tested method: Just Yeet The Accursed Fucking Thing Into The Water”
Elrond: Alright, everyone listen up. We elves have 4 methods of dealing with Accursed Fucking Objects™, as demonstrated by my four parents.
Number 1, the Elwing Method or Mom Method. This is to hide the accursed fucking thing away and keep it safe and close. This is highly not reccommended if the object can take over its user like the ring can, and Sauron will be searching for it, so this method is out of the question.
Number 2, the Earendil Method or the Dad #1 Method. This is, send the accursed fucking thing across the sea or to some higher power. According to Mithrandir, the Valar will not take it and Tom Bombadil wants nothing to do with it, so this is also out of the question.
Number 3 is the Maglor Method, or Dad #2 Method. This is to yeet the accursed fucking thing into the ocean. In this case, it is not a good idea as Ulmo will be very upset and we will still have to contend with Sauron.
The last method is the Maedhros Method or the Dad #3 Method. This method is to yeet yourself into a volcano while holding the accursed fucking thing, and also the method we will be using. You will not have to yeet yourself into the volcano, only the ring, don’t worry, Frodo.
Those…those really are the four methods aren’t they?
Listen, Boromir knows 1 (one) ancient elven story and damn it, he’s going to ride that horse until it dies.
I’m imagining an AU where Gimli suggests yeeting it down an abandoned dwarf mine, and Gandalf is like “Bruh, there is shit down there that should NOT have a ring of power.”
And then one of the Hobbits is like, “Wait, what if we yeet it in the other direction?” “What like, up?” “Yeah. I mean for one thing, it sounds like Sauron’s at his most powerful when he’s got the ring, so for all we know his power increases the closer it gets to him. And if that’s true, bringing the ring to Mordor is a really bad idea. But if we get the ring as far away from him as possible… and it’s not like anybody’s gonna be able to go get it.”
*murmurs of agreement*
*ring gets launched into space via magic the next day*
*20 years later an alien with a gold ring on his finger lands to go kill Sauron*
