Gondor calls for aid, and memes will answer. 

Whenever I'm feeling blue, I like to plop on the couch, kick up my feet, and get buried in the fluffiest blankets in front of a 4k extended edition Lord of the Rings marathon. Don't get me wrong, I may have left out the parts about eating my feelings with delivery pizza and wearing my coziest 10-day-old sweat pants, but that's not the point. The point is that LOTR fans have a special connection to Middle Earth that transcends time, space, and the bandwidth of human emotion. As if Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Mr. Frodo live rent-free in our souls, Tolkien has a way of reaching out through a Silmarillion-spawned portal, melting our minds time and time again with a well-loved story of Fellowship, adventure, and a well-traveled cast iron pan.

  • World-weary as people may feel, there's something comforting about the black-and-whiteness of the Tolkienverse. Bad guys are bad, and good guys are good. Aside from Pippin, who, according to Gandalf, is extremely nuanced in the ways of good and evil, many of the characters in The Lord of the Rings exhibit cut-and-dry qualities that we all wish to possess. Sam is brave and has good cooking sense, Faramir is humble and hides his daddy issues, and Gimli is loud and stubborn, but the most loyal friend you'll ever find.

  • When seeking worldly comforts, look no further than the tried-and-true sights and sounds of Middle Earth, because for fans of LOTR, there's nothing quite like your 111th watch-through of your favorite movies.

  • For those of us LOTR fans who yearn for a long weekend to rot on the couch and enjoy our favorite series, there may not be enough time in the day to immerse ourselves in the lore of the One Ring of power, but fear not! Memes may only temporarily satiate the craving for adventure and upstanding stories, but they do the job in a pinch, getting fans fired up for the next opportunity to watch three, 3-hour movies back to back. And of course, if you're a real fan, you'll have to throw in the 3 Hobbit movies too, despite their bad reputation. 

  • Dive deep into Middle Earth once more and feel oh-so lovely again, turning your mood from Gollum-ish back into the realms of Sméagol.
