everybody seems to comprehend tashi loving tennis the most which is good BUT. i don’t see anyone getting that tashi also loves THROUGH tennis. it’s how she connects to people. when she tries to coach patrick in college she’s not condescending to him, she’s reaching out. and yes, she coaches art to play through him, but their marriage lasts because she’s able to shape her relationship through the language she knows best. it’s the ultimate form of connection and understanding to her, and it hurts her when the people she loves reject her form of reciprocating that love. words will never be enough for her—she wants to play.

i’m stuck on the thought of aegon and larys’ dynamic changing throughout the series bc as it stands aegon is the alpha male ideal to larys’ incel loser that aegon’s friends mock when he’s not looking (but they work together anyway even when aegon can see all through his bullshit. freak recognizes freak)

i wonder how that will change when aegon is disabled and larys is offering him solace. do they get closer? do his ableist friends all abandon him and he takes all the comfort he can get in that moment? i wonder if when larys poisons aegon (something he was willing to die for) it’s personal - what else would it be for, the good of the realm? that might work for book!larys but i struggle to think of his show counterpart like that…

Okay y’all, Yellowjackets is filming at the mall by my house, they are apparently filming on Wednesdays (either on the 10th or 17th). I hate the mall, but I love Yellowjackets. 💛

Should I lurk at the mall on Wednesdays in hope of seeing them filming?

Man another terrible take in the grima tag smh

I’ve a lot of thoughts about how interesting and meaty it is that grima and Eowyn mirror each other in certain respects; a reader doesn’t have to like it but they both oath broke.

Grima would have made an oath as liege man to Theoden which he broke out of, presumably (because Tolkien never states it explicitly, only implies through Gandalf), fear and ambition and desire.

Eowyn made an oath to her uncle that she would defend Edoras while the men were at Helm’s Deep and subsequently when they went to Gondor to aid Denethor et al. She left Edoras and took up with the riders of her own accord because of fear and ambition and desire.

Grima feared Sauron and death and pain and so on.

Eowyn feared dying in her home after all the men themselves were dead. A death she deems pointless and without honour.

A fear is a fear.

Grima was ambitious and desired things - he was after control and power and wealth and (according to eomer at least) Eowyn.

Eowyn was ambitious and desired things - honour in battle and to have experiences denied to her and to serve her people in the way she wants to rather than the way she is told to serve them (because she’s still serving them by holding Edoras! That’s a very important role in medieval warfare!) and to take control of her life.

A desire is a desire.

They are fantastic mirrors of one another and I think you get a much flatter and more bland read when you refuse to engage with what Tolkien gave us. And he did these things deliberately. Grima is a prism reflecting a warped version of Gandalf, Eowyn, and Saruman within himself. How fascinating is that!

You don’t have to like him, and you don’t have to like that Tolkien made these literary choices, but you not liking it doesn’t stop it from existing in the text

(And this isn’t getting into the fact that Eowyn has faults and is allowed to make choices that within her society would be seen as the wrong choices! Leaving Edoras, the capital, while there are people invading from the east—something Theoden et al knew was a thing!—is in fact the wrong choice. It is, in fact, the selfish choice. Within the culture of her people and the reality of warfare it is the bad choice! She is allowed to make it! And her reasons can be complex! Some good and some more flawed! It makes her way more interesting than if she had no flaws!)
