Omg reblogging again for this gem in the comments:
So like….. if Fëanor created the Palantíri……… and there were originally 8 of them….did…did Fëanor just invent the Middle Earth equivalent of phones so he could keep in contact with his kids???
Every time I open my phone I feel like Pippin when he looked into the Palantir and I just scream and writhe in agony

It is strange to realize that Pippin, of all people, is among the few main characters to have met or interacted with Sauron himself (albeit indirectly, via the Orthanc-stone). The youngest, most carefree member of the Fellowship, coming face to face (or eye to eye, lol) with evil incarnate; one can't help but feel bad for Pippin when seeing this scene, and then admire him and his hobbit-strength for not breaking, and resisting Sauron for as long as he did.
