Duration Sauron owned the ring:
Isildur: 2 years (looked like a hookup in the movie lol)
Deagol: 5 minutes or so
Gollum: 478 years
Bilbo:
Frodo: 17 years (the time Gandalf was gone drinking)
Samwise: 2 days
So the Lord of the Rings is strong

Water knows the answer.

Corrupted water
Nah water got buffed stats from the ring [Muandanmul]
Sweet as hell
bro I never realized Bilbo had it for like 60 years, that's insane ๐ญ no wonder he was so obsessed with it
Water never ages at all
So that's how it went down
The culprit behind countless deaths!!
The reason water is transparent..! That crazy ring-holding bastard river;;
Sauron really said 'I'm gonna hold onto this for 2000+ years' what a commitment ๐
Water's Balrog Ulmo having benevolent power made it harder to find the ring that fell in water, I guess?
Even that Smaug thought Lake Esgalos was stronger than him so he didn't dare just freely breathe fire, right?
Made Deagol die!
wait so Frodo only carried it for like 2 years? felt like the entire trilogy lol
this graph is actually so useful for understanding the corruption timeline, thanks for making me care about LOTR math
the way Gollum's ownership is such a tiny sliver but he's still the most iconic with it... character
