It's summertime! Hooray! And I'm not taking any summer classes, so if anyone needs me, I will be staring at my computer waiting for the next Hobbit trailer to come out. Not really. But it feels like I'm doing that. I'm on a sort of Middle-Earth withdrawal because I've seen all the current movies at least 500 times apiece, and I need the next one to come out right now. I could just go read The Silmarillion or another Middle-Earth book that I haven't read yet, but they don't have all my favorite characters in them.
Speaking of Middle-Earth, and this is for all my fellow fangirl fanatics, (plus it's a spoiler, so stay away if you haven't read the book), I noticed something last time I watched Desolation of Smaug. At the part where one of the orcs sticks his finger in the pool of Kili's blood and says "Dwarf-blood!" we get a brief glimpse of Fili's pipe lying on the rocks. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but if it was, I think it might be a foreshadowing of Fili and Kili losing their carefree-ness and being stuck in the middle of a great battle and destruction and eventually getting killed. That might be a stretch, but it was just a thought. And it made me very sad.
I keep seeing comments on Pinterest and stuff that say that people don't want them to die, but I sort of do, even though they're two of my favorite characters. Because dying heroically for Thorin is part of what they are, it's a huge part of their character make-up that they would make that sacrifice, and I don't really want that taken away. But I think they will die. But in the meantime, the movie needs to hurry up and come out.
