But this does actually sound like an interaction they would have

Monroe, on the phone: how did Renard die?

Trubel: cats ate his face.

Monroe: no, Renard, how did he die?

Trubel: cats ate his face.

Monroe: g— just give me to Nick.

Nick: hello?

Monroe: how did Renard die?

Nick: cats ate his face, here, trubel knows more about it than me.

Nick: Time for me to Gaslight Gatekeep Grimmboss.

J. R. R. Tolkien: no, my books aren't about the war I experienced. It's just a story

J. R. R. Tolkien's works: you cannot go home, war ends entire bloodlines, you are mourning the death of your brother alone, you dug into the earth and permanently scored the land, you cannot explain what you have been through, you cannot go home, "that wound will never fully heal. He will carry it the rest of his life", leaving the women behind does not save them, the young die first, you cannot go home, the parent will bury their child, you have lost the wives and you will never connect with them again, "how shall any tower withstand such numbers and such reckless hate?", you are not the same, you cannot go home, you can never go home, your father will only side with those he sees as worthy bloodlines and you cannot change his mind, it is more meaningful Not to kill, sometimes your sacrifice accomplishes nothing, you cannot go home

One thing I often think about when it comes to the Jackson films’ fleshing out of the Elrond and Arwen storyline is how in Return of the King, Elrond straight up just admits that he’s seen Arwen’s son through his prophetic visions — presumably a similar scene to the one she saw, but with her instead of Aragorn holding the child.

And yes, obviously the actual point being made there by the film was that Elrond lied to/misled his daughter because he didn’t want her to die.

But can we just take a moment to think about him actually experiencing that vision? That’s his grandson. That’s his grandson. This elf, who once wholly gave his heart to a mortal infant brought into his household, looking into the future and seeing the proof of the love he has given both Aragorn and Arwen. That’s his grandson right there, all of five years old and destined for a more blissful life than any of his ancestors. That’s his heir and Elros’ heir, messing about in a forest with two people whom he loves more than the world. That’s his fucking grandson.

And can you just imagine what it must have been like, coming out of that vision? The cold understanding that this is what it has come to in the end. That his grandson, his very first one, would be the collateral damage of his daughter’s salvation. That out of all the thousands of possible futures knitting about his head, there’s not a single one in which he can save them both.

edit: i’m so sorry here’s some cute grampa elrond content to make up for it

HE LEETLE FEETSYS

[inthepursuitofbooks]

I'm making a small return to tumblr after years of absence simply to scream about how much I really DON'T LIKE JULIETTE.

I'm in the middle of a rewatch of Grimm and dude, 1) you don't get to decide of Nick does or doesn't want his powers back. 2) you chose to help him get his powers back 3) his mom? really? 4) you helped steal someone's baby.

She's right, there's enough blame to go around, she's just not willing to take on any of it.

Life is weird.

I haven't been on tumblr in so long because the app made me mad on my phone so one day I just logged out without actually telling anyone and I feel like I've lost friends because I was an asshole that didn't tell anyone I wasn't going to be active anymore.

But then I remembered that I have shared my Instagram repeatedly so like, if the people I thought were my friends actually were my friends, I could have been found there.

Idk, I just feel weird and I logged in for the first time today in a long time and I'm having weird thoughts about the last time I used AIM or the last time I used any forums. And wondering about all the people that I've called internet friends that just eventually faded away.

[inthepursuitofbooks]

I know I haven't been on here a lot lately but I felt the need to log back in to share this.

Michael Hogan, known for Battlestar Galactica and Teen Wolf, has had a terrible accident. Even if you can't donate, please spread the word.

Thank you

A little PSA for people who use AO3…

Gen refers to fic that is not focused on romance. If your fic is not a romance fic, please give it this tag.

Other refers to fic that is focused on romance, but is not specifically male/female, male/male, or female/female (like an OT3 (ship involving 3 people), a ship involving characters that are not male or female, etc). IT IS NOT FOR PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS. IT IS FOR ROMANTIC ONES. please for the love of all that is holy do not tag your family-relationship-centered fics as “other” you are going to give people a HEART ATTACK.

“Character/Character” is for romantic pairs. “Character & Character” is for platonic relationships like friendship, family, etc. Please do not tag family-centered or adult-and-minor-centered platonic character relationships as character/character for the love of all that is holy

The E rating is for smut and literally nothing else (unless you have other unusual reasons to rate it E–I’ve seen people apply it to non-smut fics as a deterrent to keep minors away from it, but keep in mind it’ll make it so people who are trying to avoid smut will not find your fic). Your fic that has a lot of graphic violence but no sexual content does not need an E rating.

The M rating is for fics that would basically be rated R if they were movies, and may contain graphic violence, some sexual content, and generally more serious subject matter than you would typically show a teenager. However, if your fic is almost entirely smut, please just give it an E rating.

Also, when you post a fic, you WILL want to give it a rating, or else AO3 will assume you’re probably posting smut and will warn everybody who clicks on your fic that it may contain adult content. If you don’t want that on your fic that contains no adult content at all, please just give it the proper rating instead of not rating it at all.

It warms my heart that Robert Irwin is the same goofball his father was

Also, look at this selfie I took.

Okay so I'm doing something a little crazy, for me.

I'm doing fem Stiles cosplays set in a Teen Wolf AU where the pack are low key the mob and they run a neutral nightclub for the supernatural. Stiles is not only Emissary, but a bartender and a stripper/dancer for the club.

Join me? Leave some ideas? Let me know if you like the series?
