So I was talking with my brother about Tom Bombadil and obviously at one point the “what if he’s a Valar” came up and my brother said that he could be a physical manifestation of that little part of Melkor’s mind which regrets, feels guilty and is trying to relieve stress by living close to the nature I’m done with LotR theories (╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻
Yes and the Goldberry is actually a part of Sauron’s spirit
…it could be a nice justification for popular theory of “The Hidden Evil-Bombadil”
