People who hate Frodo Baggins are my enemy. "He didn't do anything and was useless"--yeah, okay, so what you're not understanding is that he was the sacrificial lamb. He endured physical, mental, and emotional torment that got worse and worse as his will broke. Everyone knew this. EVERYONE KNEW THIS. That's why everyone was devastated about it. Because Frodo was the most innocent among them, that was the entire point. He represented ordinary peaceful people being destroyed by the horrors of war. And as a hobbit he also represented some of the last vestiges of magic in what was basically a post magic apocalypse.

Frodo was basically an innocent puppy thrown into the Torment Nexus so that EVERYONE ELSE could maybe have a hope of surviving. And he did that willingly. HE DID IT OF HIS OWN FREE WILL, KNOWING IT WOULD RUIN HIM.

Frodo haters won't see the light of heaven

88 03 26 - Denver - George Reeves

De: Many years ago I was in the- I was separated from the Air Force here at Denver, Colorado. I believe it was called Lowery Field. And I had a very dear friend at the time named George Reeves, who was Superman. George was in the service also. So we decided to drive from California to Denver. And I tell you it was a trip to behold, and nobody but Superman could have possibly made it at that particular time. We picked up another soldier on the way, I’ve forgotten just where, but anyhow,  it began to snow, and we’re crawling up in these mountains, and we had a bottle of bourbon with us in this car. A Ford coupe of some sort, and the three of us are riding along, and suddenly the car just froze in motion, and we had no idea where it was, it was at night.

So we sat there, and we really thought we were gonna freeze to death, and we got out, and I think we were at the top of a place- is there a place here called Rabbit Ears Pass? See I’m not kidding you, that’s where we were. Night, snowing, car frozen, and we got out, and we looked, and we were right at the edge of the beginning of a hill. So we pushed the car. We were freezing to death, man, I’m tellin' ya, we were pourin’ that bourbon down to keep warm, and we coasted all the way downhill to this little village that was in, at the base of this mountain. And we found a little hotel and we couldn’t rouse the landlord, so there were a lot of throw rugs on the floor. So we, we’re all wrapped up in these throw rugs when that lady came in. But anyhow, nothing fantastic to the end of it, it’s just a vivid memory of Colorado for me. 

De: Yes, way over there in the dark blue jacket, yes, you looking back, yes. 

Audience Member: Earlier you mentioned that George Reeves was your friend in the service.. 

De: Yes.

Audience Member: How closely did you keep that friendship when he went to Superman and you went on to other things and how did his suicide affect you? 

De: George Reeves, he’s mentioning the fact, for those of you that didn’t hear him, that I was a very close friend of George Reeves and how did our friendship behave after he became Superman and how did his death affect me. 

We, my wife and I, were extremely close to George, and when-after-before George did Superman we both went to New York, and I was in New York with George. He was not doing Superman at that time. And when I came back from New York, George’s life had taken somewhat of a different direction, people do that, it doesn't- it didn’t mean I didn’t love him anymore, but I would see him occasionally. We were no longer close, he was associating with a friend of his, a lady friend. We just didn’t see each other that much. I was absolutely shocked when I heard about George’s death, of course, and the whole thing remains, as you know, somewhat of a mystery today. But he was a- George was so- wonderful sense of humor and a delightful guy when he was a young man.

Idk maybe this is #problematic of me but I don't really like it when people draw or describe TOS era Kirk as fat in fanworks :/ because clearly he isn't fat, he isn't even chubby. I like it when he's drawn chubby in the movie eras like WOK forward because he did gain weight and I like how it looks! But he's very in shape in the TOS series and to me describing/drawing him as fat feels like we're feeding into the insane mindset that he actually *is* fat and anyone not stick think is automatically chubby, idk fat kirk just feels like a strange standard from the 60s we're still sticking to for some reason

You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?

This is the best anyone has ever looked by the way
