    Flows nicely, but it’s an inaccurate collage of plot elements.

    • Isildur lost the ring in a river.
    • Déagol found the ring in a river.
    • Sméagol killed Déagol for the ring.
    • Sméagol (now Gollum) lost the ring in a cave.
    • Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Frodo, Gollum, 🌋?

      So one thing I don’t get… Hobbits are supposed to be like a nice race, not easily corruptible, all they want is food and peace. A hobbit would be the best race to trust with the one ring. Bilbo had it for like 80+ years and gave it away, Frodo threw it away and ignored it for like 18 years, Sam didn’t give a shit about it… So why did it corrupt Sméagol so? He was a hobbit too.
