Just wanted to show off my newest icon!

I couldn't resist that sad, sweet pic of Frodo and Sam catching a breather in Mordor. However, they're not nearly close enough, so I got them to cuddle. sigh.


The lyric is from the song Nevertheless:

Maybe I’m right, and maybe I’m wrong
Maybe I’m weak and maybe I’m strong
But nevertheless I’m in love with you

Maybe I’ll win and maybe I’ll lose
Maybe I’m in for crying the blues
But nevertheless I’m in love with you

Somehow I know at a glance
The terrible chances I’m taking
Fine at the start
Then left with a heart that is breaking

Maybe I’ll live a life of regret,
And maybe I’ll give much more than I’ll get
But nevertheless, I’m in love with you...

*sob!*

Poor Sam and Frodo...I know I'll be crying hysterically through the whole movie.

You and me both! I need to dig up a kindred weepy-Frodo/Sam fan somewhere in the L.A. area to go see this damn movie with, because I'll need someone to get sodden with.

*sniff* I can feel it starting already!

Unh! I've been gut-punched. They're so ragged and tired and beautiful and strong and OH! Look! It's time for me to turn off images until December!

But I'm glad I got to see this before I went!

Ouch!

Sorry, my bad! I meant to put that pic behind an lj-cut. Sorry!

Oh, no problem at all! I'm not a spoiler nazi and I think it's a beautiful picture. Thanks for posting it!

Eeep! *dies*

Someone should have thought of this sooner. Such a perfect opportunity! But they might have done a bungled job, so I'm happy you thought of it first. ^_^

Frodo/Sam...the world will never see too much of it. *sigh of purest bliss*

Oh, definitely not! I got smitten by a lovely Frodo/Sam Japan illustration, and I just now made a wallpaper combining it and the lyrics above. You can see it here:

...Karnel'ami meleth...

Sigh...

Ooh, lovely! Nice manip -- and thanks for the link!

You're welcome! I like that image, and I don't understand why PJ doesn't allow Frodo and Sam to get closer, the way they are in the book. Granted, they're not slobbering over each other, but at least they do touch each other now and then. But the film has caught the whole Touch Panic Syndrome that is so rampant in modern Western culture (yet another lovely gift from America to the world), and we get Frodo and Sam always at least two feet away from each other. Makes me sad. :(

Oh well, maybe it'll be bettered in ROTK. But judging from the original of that manip up there, I'm not holding my breath.

Serai1, this pic is so....heartbreaking! OMG, I love it, and I know that I will be joining the mob of, ahem, older fans, who will be sobbing from the opening credits. I hope PJ doesn't pull any punches on the Grey Havens.
