What Happened AFTER The Lord Of The Rings?

The Lord of the Rings films ends with Frodo sailing off into the West with Sam returning to the Shire to his love Rosie. Sam and Rosie had 13 children together and at the grand age of 102, Sam also sailed West to see Frodo again. For the Elves, their time on Middle Earth had passed, and the vast majority of them left soon after. For the Ents, they never found the Ent wives, slowly turning into trees over the long centuries. The Dwafs prospered, but slowly faded into legend as they dug ever deeper into their mountains. Aragorn ruled as a wise and fair king, with his descendants ruling for a hundred generations, with his kingdom protecting human and hobbit alike.

Anyone else kinda want the Ents to find their wives.. and have little Entlings 😥😭😩😭😭

The dwarves not dying out but just digging even further is such a dwarf thing to do.

*Wholesome Fact:* Legolas built a boat himself so he could take Gimli to the West with him and Merry and Pippin were buried next to Aragon

[TheTruthIsGonnaHurt]

*13 children - and people thought Sam was gay.*

You didn't mention the most important bits...
The three hobbits liberated the shire and replanted the felled trees. Sam sprinkled some of Lothloriens soil on every new tree and they grew stronger and more beautiful. In place of the old Party tree he planted the Mallon seed, which also grew into a great tree.
Also, Sam was elected Mayor of Hobbiton seven times consecutively!

The way the Dwarves just kind of...fade away.... is one of the saddest things imo.

An after Merry an pippin died they where buried next to Aragorn 😭😭

[m.abdullah]

the Ents slowly becoming trees is one of the saddest things😭

[BJenno]

Let’s not forget that after Aragorn died, Arwen left Minas Tirith to go to Lothórien to die of heartbreak.

"Please Mr. Frodo, don't go were I can't follow." and he didn't 🥺♥️

After Rosie had died is when Sam wise sailed into the West because he had been a "Ring Barer. Also at that time Legols and Gimili sailed with him. Gimili had been allowed to sail to the West because of being a member of the company as well for his deep love Gilgallon.

God that's actually kind of a depressing ending, trees die, elves leave, and dwarves dig themselves into non existence :(

Sam's generation continued and ultimately produced Boris Johnson.

I also remember that Legolas stayed and spent time with Gimli, but then they both left to the West, Gimli being the first dwarf to every sail to the west

Lady Galadriel: "The power of the three rings has ended. The time has come for the Dominion of Men."

[MIkkk]

You forgot to mention that Legolas and Gimli wandered for many years together to find remaining orcs in southlands

It is important to note that Tolkein did plan on a sequel to LoTR, but he only wrote about 12 pages. It was supposed to reference the fact that the hearts of Men forget in times of peace and plenty.

[imorangejuice]

Lord of the rings ending was always so sad. Cause the elfs all leave to the west (heaven) the dwarfs just disapear into the mountains and the aragorn lived as the last of the generation from magic. It always broke my heart that eventually all magic disapates in this world

[frozenheroe]

I'm glad Sam got to see Frodo once again. Their farewell was heartbreaking

[darthsidious]

We need Peter Jackson to make a trilogy about morgoth.
