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

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 😭 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 πŸ’€

🐰

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
