They could have fitted the whole ring / tape / mouse assembly into a small paper bag Aragorn could have kept it in his jacket and fed it little bits of lembas on the way how lovely x
The mouse definitely would have escaped and ran straight to Sauron.
Okay but what about all the fish that swam in the river the ring was in all this time
I thought Sam did put on the ring in the books.
It also affected Boromir just being around it.
Didn’t Smeagol kill a friend just to have it before even wearing it?
Yes. Basically, Sam was practically only one in the Fellowship who could resist the temptations of The Ring, because he had really simple desires.
Was magic ring ever explained on a technical level? I thought all we know is it wants to be with sauron and it makes angels shit themselves.
For all we know putting it on a mouse gives everyone mouse nightmares and make them worship the mouse as mouse king before they take it straight to sauron.
no it’s cause Sam was a fucking saint
