so my boyfriend doesn't know a lot about lord of the rings and was asking why it was so hard to destroy the ring and I said it corrupted the ringbearers and made them evil and even proximity to the ring can turn you evil as it did briefly with boromir and after some careful thought he decided that the nine members of the fellowship should each have a super long string attached to the ring and they could drag it behind them from really far so it won't affect them and make Legolas always watch it with his elf eyes to make sure it's okay back there and like ... that might work??? Did he solve it??? I'm so mad.
