First Word: Lord of the Rings Edition

Okay, do you remember this game? If not, and even if you do, I'll briefly explain it again.

Rules:
  1. Copy and paste the following trigger words into the comments, without reading my answers so you don't worry about being 'influenced' by them
  2. Write down the first word that come to your mind, you can explain your pick after but try and make it just one word for the start
  3. Not all your answers are going to be Lord of the Rings related, that's fine! I only used trigger words that could be linked to Tolkien in some way.
  4. Duplication in the entries are fine and most likely, going to happen! So no worries!
  5. Have as much fun as you can! (Required ;))
  6. (Not required.) Scroll back up and read my answers :D

Cordy's Answers:
Shire=Hobbits 
Ringwraith=Eww! (That has to count as a word! Technically, I hear a terribly high-pitched screech-- but I can't type that sound out.)
Elves=Men (Maybe because they fought together...)
One=Time
Dwarves=Singing (Anyone want to guess what song might be getting stuck in my head as I type?!)
Battle=Cry (Not as in crying tears, as in a battle cry.)
Steward=Guardian
Mushrooms=Shortcut
Towers=Two
Walking=Along
Ranger=Archer (Has anyone read the Ranger's Apprentice series?)
Fireworks=Weasley (A little fandom hopping here.)
Eagles=Hope

Well, what have you come up with?!

Yours truly,
Cordy

    1. Great answers. Particularly about elves and the eagles. ;) The eagles reply really made me laugh! That's why I love this game. You never know what you're going to say.

      Don't worry! The week doesn't end until tomorrow, I have one other post that I'm going to include tomorrow before I even do the link-up (because I need extra time! ;)) So I'm fine if you get something done and either tell me before or after the link-up is published. So, no. I wouldn't mind even the littlest bit. :D I'm not a really 'official' person in general. :)

    2. Glad to have amused you! XD My brain can be really creative at times. ;)

      YAY! I was worried I would be too late. I just published my post over on my blog if you want to check it out. :)

    1. I just thought of the scene where Gimli is talking about the dwarf women and how they are mistaken by men when Aragorn jokes with Eowyn. Do you know what I'm talking about?

      Delete
    2. Yes! That one scene! When after he falls off his horse right?! Haha, good times :D

      Delete
  4. Shire=Frodo. He's a hobbit. And he just seems to really love the Shire, and his life there.
    Ringwraith=Creepy. Just that. Creeeeeeeeepy.
    Elves=Legolas. Does that need explaining? Didn't think so :P
    One=Ring. Only one awful ring but it can destroy everything good. Too much power!
    Dwarves=Kili. He's my favorite :)
    Battle=Spiders. Reading that scene never fails to give me shivers.
    Steward=Hotel. White shirt, black tie :)
    Mushrooms=Poisonous. Giant, poisonous mushrooms.
    Towers=Twin. Twin towers. September 11th. I was little, but I can remember it.
    Walking=Geese. Recently I've been walking to our park to see the little baby goslings. They just hatched and are ADORABLE.
    Ranger=Aragorn. My favorite!
    Fireworks=Gandalf. He does the best . . .
    Eagles=Thorin. That last battle where the eagles come, but Thorin dies anyway. :(

    That was a weird mash-up of answers. It was fun though :D

    1. Really, you're a Kili girl. :)

      Hotel, ha!

      I actually thought of that when I wondered about including "towers".

      Geese?! Hehehe, now that's an answer that won't be copied!

      Yes, that eagle scene. *sniffles*

  5. Okay, so some of these weren't exactly my FIRST thought, but I liked them better than my first thought so I decided to keep them. Hope that's okay. ;)

    Walking= sore feet (Sorry, two words. Oops.)
    Ranger= Aragorn
    Fireworks= Gandalf
    Eagles= SAVED!

    And I did scroll up and read your answers. The song stuck in your head wouldn't be the song from The Hobbit, would it? The "we must away at break of day" song? 'Cause that's the only one I could think of off the top of my head that the dwarves sing. :)

    Firewooks=Weasley. Hahaha! Yes. There's definitely a HUGE connection there. ;) (Actually, I just finished reading about Fred and George's grand firework display at the school. Isn't that part hilarious? And SO satisfying, too!)

    Fun game, Cordy! :D

    1. Eww, so sorry I put that into your head!! :P

      I really like saying "Erebor" for some reason.

      Nine? Why nine?

      Delete
    2. Nine because of the Fellowship! Remember? Sorry Lover of Lembas, I stole your answer ;)

      Delete
    3. Oh, alright. The nine companions. Got it.

      Delete
    4. No problem Fawnabelle--you're right; it's because the Nine Walkers is another name for the fellowship.

Tell me whatcha thinkin!

If your comment doesn't appear immediately don't worry! I moderate my comments so check back in a few days and you might find it!

Don't misunderstand my moderating. I am trying to contain and avoid unsavory comments and spammers. This does not include those who disagree with me, only those that are unable to state their disagreement agreeably. I have already said that I would enjoy different opinions.

So please, do comment!

P.S. I don't mind comments on old posts. :D
