[ID: a photo of a digitally painted tarot card depicting Grima Wormtongue hunched over, holding two swords in the crook of his arm. Five more swords stand on the ground behind him. The card border is made of vines, rings, and elvish writing, and is labeled: “VII of Swords” /ID]
Lord of the Rings Tarot: VII of Swords: Gríma Wormtongue cheats and lies to get ahead
Lotr characters I would fight:
- grima (nasty)
- legolas (there’s not enough room for two dumb idiots one of us has to go and it’s not gonna be me)
- elrond for no reason other than to prove to myself that I can
- Tom????? Bombadil?????? Like whomst the hell IS HE???? What are you Tom???? I don’t trust like that.
- glorfindel. again. just to prove to myself that I can.
- gandalf but ONLY in his grey form and if someone took away his staff beforehand (I don’t expect to succeed but I will go down fighting)
- that freaking. what’s his name. MAGGOT. THAT GUY. I WILL FIGHT HIM AND STEAL ALL HIS MUSHROOMS. THEY’RE MY MUSHROOMS NOW MAGGOT.
- any one (1) dwarf willing to brawl and not actually break any of my bones. this one is purely for bragging rights.
“…Casting his tattered cloak aside, he stood up and leaned no longer on his staff; and he spoke in a clear cold voice. ‘The wise speak only of what they know, Gríma son of Gálmód. A witless worm have you become. Therefore be silent, and keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a serving-man till the lightning falls.’ He raised his staff. There was a roll of thunder. The sunlight was blotted out from the eastern windows; the whole hall became suddenly dark as night. The fire faded to sullen embers. Only Gandalf could be seen, standing white and tall before the blackened hearth.”— Gandalf dismissing Wormtongue to speak to Théoden, who was still under Saruman’s spell. Two Towers, The King of the Golden Hall
