I have a hen that’s pretty bossy but for god sakes don’t give it to a rooster. A rooster would be king of Mordor in a hot second.
Well, first of all, the ring makes you invisible
I thought it just exaggerated whatever traits your race naturally has. Hobbits are sneaky -> hobbitses go invisible
Now that you say it, I don’t remember the book ever really getting into what effects it might have on other races. All we know is it makes hobbits invisible, and that it had no effect whatsoever on Tom Bombadil. No one else got a chance to try it on if memory serves me correctly (the elves refused, the humans weren’t allowed, and the orcs never got near enough).
It’s been many years since I’ve read it however, so I’m happy to be corrected.
Wearing the One Ring does make others invisible because one thing it does is take you into the unseen world (where the wraiths are visible and not just cloaked) and basically most people think you’d have to have the willpower and wear the ring for long enough to drag yourself back into being seen.
I’ve never read anything beyond the Hobbit, but I believe the Silmarillion goes in to more detail on how the ring would affect other races should they wear it. I particularly recall someone mentioning how the ring would affect gandalf, but again this is all secondhand knowledge.
Would it also make the leash invisible, because it’s attached to the chicken? If so, would it also make Frodo invisible because he is holding the leash?
That’s a good question, but I don’t remember Bilbo having to strip naked after putting it on so he wouldn’t appear as a self-animated set of clothes floating around
This sounds like a clip from a LOTR × Ghostbusters crossover. They try using a trap but the One Ring upgrades the trap to catch almost any spirit or demon, including Balrogs, tempting the Ghostbusters to use it to capture Sauron, which, of course, is pure folly.
why dont they render the ring unusable by putting it on a larger metal ring
put the larger ring on gollum as a fancy bdsm slave collar and throw the whole happy and docile sub gollum off an eagle into mount doom
edit: how to put the ring over gollums head? idk weld it together once he wears it
Onligatory “why not use the eagles” debate incoming
I thought this was settled. In the immortal words of JRR Tokin:
if eagles are out for lore reasons, a trebuchet with gollum payload works too
So there you are, an orc in mordor, on guard duty while sauron makes the rest of the army. It’s pretty great being on guard duty, nobody bothers you and you’ve just caught a rabbit that you’re now roasting on a small fire.
In the horizon a weird dude with a beard and a grey cape appears, he has several smaller humanoids with him … and a trebuchet.
The trebuchet is launched and a small dude is flung above you. The projectile/dude is manically trying to open the box that he’s apparently wearing as a hat?!?
You turn the rabbit, and when you look up again the guy has opened the box… Where did he go? You follow his path, and suddenly, next to the entrance to some random cave, you notice what could be the result of a small dude, with a metal box for a hat, hitting the side of the mountain. The sound hits your ears 2 seconds later. It’s like both a thud, a clang, and a squish all at once.
Even at this distance you can see something in the mess. Something shiny that you for some reason just know isn’t part of the box. You set off for the impact site.
What do you do now? If you want to investigate goto page 56 and if you want to alert the chain of command go to page 182.
Kite-Man: Hell Yeah. The Anti-Life Equation infects a chicken, and it proceeds to murder a lot of people.
It finds a way.
Something a little like this:
You underestimate the murderous-ness of chickens.
They know, in the depths of their evil little bird brains, that they are dinosaurs.
And what dino (deinos) stands for.
Chickens are no joke. Theyre assholes too.
They’re also tasty. I’m sure if it came down to it even a vegan wouldn’t have many qualms about eating a supremely evil (but still tasty) chicken.
When you really think about it, dragons are just wealth-hoarding chickens.
“Give us half of your hoard or we’ll slay your feathered cousin!”
Chickens are closely related to avian dinosaurs.
Sam would make an excellent chicken sandwich with this Lembas bread.
how could it work?
whoever carries the chicken will be tempted by the ring and will likely kill the chicken in a fit of weakness
You’re saying everyone would’ve been tempted by Frodo’s cock?
Yeah, Boromir was tempted by the ring just by proximity. Nevermind, how a person plans to make a chicken cooperate with heading into a blasted hellscape and up a volcano.
If that’s the “plan”, the smarter version is to just drag it in a bag behind you.
Every day the ring is passed to the next person in the rotation, out in the open and acknowledged by all. The new bearer has to pledge, "I definitely will not be a punk-ass bitch and try to keep the ring, and I promise to suck everyone’s cock if I do. "
they could have forged the ring into a chain. not like an necklace, like using the ring as a chain link, make I’m mithril, people might still be tempted to use it, but no one could wear it.
my guy, smeagol was living in a cave because of the ring… i don’t think the ring connected to a chain link will change a thing, especailly if it’s wearable lol.
no, but it would help a bit
Didn’t the ring adjust the size so the bearer could wear it though?
I’m imagining a Hula hoop size so it’ll go around your waste now
Do it Canadian style, with a Cobra Chicken.
There wouldn’t be anything else alive after that for sure.
