The least realistic thing about the Lord of the Rings is that a team got together for a group project, decided everything in one meeting, and their plan worked.
The group abandoned the original plan halfway up Caradhras, split up several times, some group members started looking into different projects, found new partners and ended up doing something else, the original plan was abandoned early on, and the project was salvaged at the last moment by the one group member that didn’t get sidetracked. Sounds like a pretty astute description of teamwork to me
concept: which member of the fellowship are you personality quiz, except there’s only one question and its “what do you think about pippin”. answers range from “bastard man, naughty boy” to “my son whom shall be cherished”
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.
Gandalf goes up to the counter just as the cappuccino machine is breaking, the barista is having a nervous meltdown, and the customers are ransacking the pastry case. “Couldn’t you have come sooner?” cries the barista. “Actually, no,” says Gandalf.
