Guys I just realized something

I’m reading Return of the King, and have just reached the chapter called “The Tower of Cirith Ungol,” in which Sam makes to rescue his master.

Something notable about this is that Sam has put on the Ring not once, but twice so far - and both times, his experience has been markedly different than Frodo’s.

Firstly, his vision is impaired. Everything he sees is somewhat obscured by a dark fog. It’s unclear whether this is an effect of the Ring entering Mordor, or if that’s just what it does to him specifically; after all, the Ring acts differently for each Wearer.

It’s the second effect that’s really interesting. You see, for some reason, the Ring improves his hearing. In both instances, he can hear orc-chatter from afar, as well as tumbling rocks and the foaming of Shelob. But what’s really wild about this is that the same never happens to Frodo.

Because the Ring reflects the Will and Strengths of the User, I can only assume this means one thing.

The One Ring empowers Samwise Gamgee’s eavesdropping.

Can we please take a while to appreciate, that this tiny little detail actually found it's way into the show? 😊 There's just so much love for the source material.

Hashtag: First impressions. So sweet. Already infatuated wich that smile.

I love that part so much. It's such an important moment for Lucy. Will she be turned down again? I think the way she describes Lockwood's smile here shows how relieved she is that she's not being asked about it, that it doesn't matter here, that this might be a place where she is accepted. Lives were changed here. ❤️

A little background since half the people who saw this were immediately like, “what do you mean you do fanart?!?” And the answer is… I guess?

This is maybe my third or fourth fanart of all time and I used the heck out of the references though it still took me eight tries to get Lucy’s head right (I blame Ariel’s enormous eyes, my word).

Also, someone explain to me why this took two days and after I was like man, that was so much work, I’m going back to writing 10k fanfics. 😆

kiss the girl

inspired by the “Lockwood & Co. but make it Disney” prompts from last spring.

why are all these modern aus for the Odyssey set in a high school. where's the retelling where Odysseus is just a guy lost in an airport who keeps missing his connecting flights home due to a comical series of delays and disgruntled airline employees
