The cast was so, so good. I feel like there wasn't one misstep with the casting (no, not even Evangeline, though I wish Tauriel had a different storyline), it was the writing that caused problems. The cast did their job well.

At least you weren't the only one. I bet at least a handful of people were crying with you!

the movies had such good music and the scenery was so pretty

Absolutely, they were a joy to listen to and there was plenty of visual porn. (And you're right, the visuals are important considering Tolkien's views on scenery.)

I want gen fic of Tauriel and Bilbo going on adventures and getting drunk together while they mourn. It makes me sad that they both went off alone after losing people they loved.

I was still making hiccupy noises when we left though, because I couldn't deal. I think I was also sad there were no more movies to come. It was like seeing the last HP movie. Now what do I do with life?

Random fact: I almost bought a horse from the people who trained the horses for LOTR. He wasn't in LOTR, he did TV, but it still would have been cool.

There IS a fic where Tauriel went to Bilbo, but she was pregnant. And pregnancy stories are mostly not my cup of tea, so I skipped that one. I would love to read something like you mention, with those two discussing their loses and maybe learning more about each others cultures along the way.

:( I know the feeling, yea. For so long we've had Tolkien movies to look forward to, or at least some hope that more would come. (Like with The Hobbit, before it was officially announced.) It's weird to think its all over.

Ooo, I thought this said, "I also bought a horse" and I was going to demand pictures. That's so cool! I bet the horse was lovely, and obviously excellently trained. Too bad it didn't work out. (You should've bought the horse then moved to New Zealand. Live the dream!)

I might have a Tauriel and Bilbo gen fic sitting in my WIP folder, where it will probably remain forever.

Why do good things have to end? I mean, I will never be prepared for remakes of anything I love, but can't there just be more? I will probably watch them even if they're terrible.

He was a lovely horse. Just a bit too chilled out for me, actually. I was doing lots of competitive riding requiring a horse with good turning capabilities and quick feet (think, rally car) and he was a little bit safer (like a family station wagon).
I've never done international travel with a horse! I assume it's horrible. They're big drama queens. They have a surprising range of facial expressions for an animal that doesn't have eyebrows.
