imagine you're qCellbit

_you're divorced to this blond guy (no one knows when you got married, they just know you're now divorced)

_you go to this island (why? no one knows)

_there you find the guy who fucking raised (strong word, more like guided) you in a war, and he looks exactly like the last time you saw him 10 years ago.

_the guy who raised you starts flirting with your ex-husband

_they are really homo and it's making your fanfiqueiro son homophobic

_but you decide to try and help them

_it goes terribly wrong

_you hate 4halo now

Guys Guys Guys Guys I know I know I KNOW we talk about Frodo and Sam's bond. Which is valid. Totally valid, I do it myself on occasion.

BUT.

BUT.

FRODO AND MERRY!!!!

FRODO PROBABLY GREW UP WITH MERRY!!! (I did the math cuz I'm a nerd) Merry was 7 when Frodo left to go live with Bilbo, but Frodo spent 9 years in Buckland!! He was there when Merry was born!! Merry hasn't known life without Frodo!!! Yes, Frodo was 21 when he left but he was in his "tweens" and probably still had to hang out with the younger kids aka MERRY!!!

Just. Look at them!! Frodo was a Respectable Gentlehobbit and Merry was one of those weird Brandybucks but they were both Adults and Frodo trusted Merry to find him a suitable house that he would supposedly retire in and Frodo didn't know that Merry knew that Frodo was leaving!! He just trusted Merry to get all the accounts settled and to find him a cute little house and he does!!! Merry does!!! He helps him find a house, he goes with the furniture to set it all up for Frodo when he gets there!! He even helps monitor everything that's being given away after Bilbo leaves and Frodo needs a moment!!

It's just. We're not even 100 pages in, they haven't left the Shire, but it's so blindingly obvious that Frodo trusts Merry and Merry looks out for Frodo, even though there's a 14 year age gap between them. They're friends, best friends, look at that first bit I put up there, they're joking around after Lobelia insulted Frodo and it's so natural, such a great little moment.

It's so. It's so obvious, right from the very beginning, like, of course Merry follows Frodo out of the Shire. It's not because Frodo's All That or anything, it's just that they're best friends and Merry cares for him and he wants to make sure he'll be alright. And I love that about Merry, I think it's a great character trait of his that you see again with Pippin. He loves them, so he follows them, even and especially into the unknown, but when it's their time to leave, to move on, he let's them. He keeps on loving them and trusting them, except this time it's trusting that they'll come back. And hoping that letting them know that they are loved will help them return.

they should create a new word for yearning specifically about aros and/or aces yearning because there is nothing that exists that comes close to expressing what we feel.

grian wanting to scream "SCAR" when joel jumped off in limited life as a force of habit and then mumbo in secret life, screaming ''GRIAN" when joel brought creepers close to them. they make me very. sane.

you didn’t want Emma to win or wdym it’s gonna be bad?

i love emma and in any other year i'd be like hell yeah dude take it home miss stone (and i'm still happy) but winning over lily (and kotm getting dust) is going to make people direct outrage and disappointment towards her (again) and is like. not the environment and reception you want to win your second oscar in when people are already meh on your first one. unfortunate!

while I'd like to work on some art or write something, pain is currently making that impossible. It's made worse by the fact this is the one pain I have no cure for, and it lasts for an undetermined amount of time.

Spike has been so overexposed in this fandom that it's impossible to have an honest conversation about him.

Mind you this is coming from someone who loves Spike to death.

Trying to say you dislike an aspect of his character (or even just say that yeah, his character was poorly written sometimes) feels kinda impossible at times. I don't mean to say people are wrong for liking him, just that often people kinda erase/ignore all his flaws. On the other hand, though less common, are people who just hate on him for no reason.

Yeah. Spike discourse in this fandom is kinda the worst.

Maybe someday we'll actually see what's underneath the box. Maybe.
