#and gandalf (since hes a lil bitch)

[sparkly-angell]

thinking about her

her = my newest fic idea, bagginshield reincarnation au, where everyone remembers their past life except bilbo, who gets flashes of it in his dreams

[big-zube]

the best moments from return of the king that make me Feel a Lot

after gollum frames sam for eating all the lembas bread and then frodo leaves with gollum and sam is left all by himself when everything he's ever done on the trip was to try to help frodo and he's so, so tired

when frodo is in shelob's cave and he realizes how sorry he is and how much he needs his sam and then he collapses and has that vision of galadriel that gives him the strength to get back up

when sam thinks frodo is dead but then he's not and it turns out ok

right after pippin picked up the palantir and he's all shaken up poor bbyyyyy

when pippin is about to leave to gondor with gandalf and merry is pissed at him but he doesn't realize that the reason merry is so upset is that they might not get to see each other again and the moment when innocent lil pippin realizes and merry is choked up and he says "i don't know what's going to happen" and then pippin is whisked away and merry immediately races to the top of the building to watch them ride into the distance

when pippin kneels in front of denethor and offers a lifetime of service in return for boromir's life (HOW IMPOSSIBLY NOBLE AND SELFLESS OF HIM??? HIS HEART IS SO PURE)

when denethor tells faramir that he wishes he died instead of boromir and faramir says he'll do his best to make up for that loss while obviously trying not to cry in front of his stupid bitch of a dad

when arwen has that vision of aragorn with their child and decides once and for all to become mortal no matter what elrond says

when aragorn is about to leave to go rally up the ghost army and eowyn is like "you can't leave on the eve of battle" and aragorn is like dude why are you here and she's like do you really not know and he gives her that slightly pitying look you give when someone loves you and you don't love them back and he just softly goes "eowyn." (and then says something about it's only a shadow and a thought you love which is also a cool line)

pippins gorgeous sad song

eowyn scooping merry up onto her horse so that he can join the battle, and then the way they look out for each other during it all, they're so sweeeet

"A SWORD DAY, A RED DAY" pep talk and then this giant mass of people screaming "DEEAAAAAAATH"

when theoden is dying and he realizes his daughter is the soldier who killed the nazgul dude and the moment they share right when he goes out

WHEN PIPPIN AND GANDALF ARE SITTING TOGETHER IN THE MIDST OF EVERYTHING AND PIPPIN SAYS "i never thought it would end this way" AND GANDALF COMFORTS PIPPIN BY TELLING HIM ABOUT HOW PEACEFUL THE AFTERLIFE IS WITH THE WHITE SHORES AND STUFF

when pippin and merry reunite afterwards and pippin tells merry that hes going to look after him

when aragorn gives his pre-fight pep talk and finishes it with "for frodo" and charges the orcs and there's a pause and the first people to follow him are merry and pippin, the most unlikely soldiers, with hearts so much bigger than their tiny bodies and filled with love for their friend

"what about side by side with a friend"

"I CAN'T CARRY IT FOR YOU, BUT I CAN CARRY YOU"

"it's gone. it's done."

"i'm glad to be with you samwise gamgee here at the end of all things"

THAT WHOLE SCENE, AND THEN WHEN THE EAGLES RESCUE THEM, AND THEN WHEN FRODO REUNITES WITH EVERYONE IN BED

when frodo is about to board the ship and everyone is falling apart emotionally and he hugs the other hobbits and each of them cling to him as tight as they can and then. AND THEN. when he gets to sam. and that tender kiss on the forehead. fuck

and then on the ship he turns to look at them one last time and he smiles and its the most beautiful smile you've ever seen because all the color has come back to his face and he's truly at peace for the first time since bearing the ring and his happy ending has finally finally finally come

THE GODDAMN HUG. THE GODDAMN SMILE.

THE WHOLE GODDAMN MOVIE

oh yeah and that gorgeous credits song

Wanna One Modern Wizard AU

Daniel

Magizoologist

Like literally has about a hundred different magical animal breeds under his care

He’s also secretly friends with a dragon that lives in the mountains near Pyeongchang

Familiar is a big, fluffy ass cat that likes to scratch his furniture and calls him names when he tries to snuggle with it

Cities like Seoul are perfect places for finding magical animals to study including magic rats, bats, birds, etc.

As a result, his apartment is more like a zoo.

He also has a three-headed puppy he stole from an illegal breeder who was mistreating him. Named the puppy’s heads Arthur, Cleopatra, and Bob.

The only magical (and non-magical) animals he can’t stand are bugs. He refuses to work with any type of insect, especially if it has more than two eyes because that’s just creepy

Keeps a journal filled with messy notes on how to feed and care for the animals properly. Often takes road trips to find better places for them to live because the city is too dangerous

He visits his dragon friend when he can, but he can never get too close because dragons have a natural distrust of humans. He hopes one day he can overcome that and touch the dragon’s silver scales.

Jisung

Magical scribe. He works with old records of magic dating back to before normal written records exist. He has a special affinity for languages that allows him to translate anything related to magic regardless of the language it’s in

Lots of people (especially archaeologists) think he can translate anything period, but he always tries to explain that, no, it has to have some magical significance to it

Still the work he’s done is amazing because ancient spells have been recovered including spells against ancient demons that haven’t been seen on earth since the dark ages

He’s also found records of wizards and witches who created the first known spells so it’s pretty sweet

As a result, his room is filled to the brim with old, dusty books, manuscripts, etc. He usually has to bring Jinyoung with him to excavation sites so he can restore some of the manuscripts that have rotted despite being magical

He’s also met with a lot of really important wizards around the world as he’s the only known magician with translation powers

The magical section of the UN actually tried to get him bodyguards once when he was translating some pretty sensitive material from the Babylonian era but he was like “nah i’m pretty sure daniel brought home a six-headed snake i’ll be fine” and everyone was like “is that even legal”

Literally cried when he received documents that survived the burning of the library of Alexandria due to their magical properties

His familiar is an owl and he laughed for like 20 minutes at the cliche

But it turns out the owl is an asshole and sometimes poops on the manuscripts when he doesn’t get enough attention so Jisung is also pretty decent at cleaning spells now...

Seongwoo

Specializes in street magic

He loves performing so he performs on the streets and stuff where there are a lot of people. Makes a surprising amount of money from it even though he never asks for any

His magic is a little flashy but he times his flashes and magical fireworks with his dancing it looks amazing, especially at night when it’s dark

He also does other stuff besides dancing with magic; he also does other tricks to make people laugh

He’s kinda like Gandalf when it comes to magical fireworks - he can make enormous ones that light of the whole night’s sky on New Year’s or small ones full of tiny, sparkling butterflies that don’t hurt when you catch them

He also does street art where whatever he paints, moves in order to tell a story

Most of the stuff he paints is fun and whimsical but he’s no stranger to social injustice, so some of his work is more on the serious side

His dancing magic is still his favorite though, and he specifically creates his choreography to go with it. Sometimes magic swirls around him when he does slower, more sensual dances

Other times it explodes around him as he shows off his intense popping to peppy, exciting songs that get people jumping

His familiar is a wolf puppy that never seems to grow old, so he’s always just as cheerful and bouncy as Seongwoo

Seongwoo once performed on a popular TV show that invited him, so people are actually asking for him to hold concerts, but honestly he prefers showing up at some random park at 10:34pm and just dancing his heart out to the enjoyment of whoever’s there

He always has a special fireworks show for the guys on Chinese New Year that’s thematic with the Zodiac of that year

Jihoon

Literally a professional demon summoner

You think he’s adorable and innocent? Think again dipshit. This boy has summoned the devil himself

But like he mostly does it for really mundane stuff like cleaning the toilet or organizing his summer clothes

He actually does have a service where someone can hire him to summon a demon to fix their problems or whatever

It’s how he makes his money mostly… People want petty revenge on someone who stole their girl or their haunted house hasn’t been getting enough business last Halloween

Once in awhile he actually makes friends with a demon and summons them more often than the rest so they can hang out

Once he summoned a mud demon and Minhyun actually started crying

His room is covered in pentagrams and sigils and protective spells that keep the rest of the inhabitants of the building safe

One time he noticed these boys bullying a little girl on the playground so he summoned a trickster demon who pantsed all of them it was hilarious

Then he summoned a gentler demon who gave them girl a flower

So like he acts all tough because yeah bitch he’s a professional demon summoner but he’s actually very soft and has tea parties with Beelzebub on Sunday afternoons

His familiar is a butterfly so he often can’t find her. She’s very nervous and has interrupted his summoning on more than one occasion by passing out in midair

He does his best to care for her but honestly how was he supposed to know ghouls ate butterflies?

Minhyun

Nature wizard with an affinity to plants.

His side of the room (and part of the kitchen) is covered with all different types of magical plants he’s growing.

Most of them he grows for their curative properties as he also has an interest in health magic but a few are his own personal little buddies

Somehow he can talk to them all and so it’s not uncommon for someone to walk in and finding him cooing at a vine that’s trying to throttle him

Several of his plants like to wave when people walk in the room while others are a little more antisocial

Every now and then Jaehwan tells him to care for a certain type of magical plant because he needs its leaves for his potions

Minhyun usually gets it for him as long as it isn’t too dangerous but he prefers not to ask what kind of potion Jaehwan is making. It’s better for his health not to know

Sells his medicine online to people who can’t make their own magical medicine (it’s usually older people or very busy parents who buy, but the reviews are always excellent)

His familiar is literally a giraffe so he has to go to the zoo in order to talk to his familiar who really doesn’t like being kept in a cage (but where else is a giraffe gonna live in Seoul?)

Jaehwan

A potions master, which makes no sense because his cooking skills are dreadful

So maybe he once put soy sauce in the gingersnaps, but you will never catch him mixing dandelions with beetles no way

He knows every common potion by heart and often mixes draughts to help his friends with allergies or to give them the temporary ability to feel awake so they can study all night for a test and still do well

However, he also works with some of the darker potions in secret

In potions, a lot of patience is required which he’s very good at. Often sings to himself while mixing and tries to match songs with the mood of the potion because that helps it become stronger in his opinion

Whether or not his singing actually has any effect on the potion doesn’t matter because they always turn out perfect

Has also made up his own potions because he’s just that good (and bored apparently)

Created a potion that specifically works to stop Minhyun from nagging him to clean his side of the room. Like, it doesn’t work on anyone but Minhyun, who is still a little freaked out about it

Once he tested a sleeping potion on the neighbor’s parakeet that was so powerful the poor bird went into a coma and he had to buy them a new one

He also turned Daehwi into a squirrell and they all spent four hours trying to catch the kid so he could turn him back

His familiar, ironic enough, is a bird (a crow) that honestly doesn’t talk much and just watches with disdain as Jaehwan completely ignores a centuries old book of potions in favor of making up his own

Daehwi

Weather mage. Has to be really careful because he can literally control the weather

One time he got really angry and nearly caused a tornado to form over Seoul it was really bad

Anyway now he mostly uses his magic to help people - including himself - out.

For example he has some free time and wanted to go out to the park but it’s raining? Suddenly the sun is shining and there’s hardly a cloud in the sky

Or vice versa when he’s pissed at someone he can quite easily rain on their parade as the saying goes

Minhyun sometimes recruits him to send a little rain shower to help his outdoor plants because it’s been a really hot summer and some of them are droopy

Familiar is a goldfish that he keeps safely in his room in a cute lil bowl. Minhyun got him some pretty magical plants to put in it that filter the water so he doesn’t have to worry about it

The goldfish is actually really sweet and helps Daehwi calm down so he doesn’t flood half the planet with a hyper-monsoon

On a happier note, Daehwi sometimes makes little wind gusts to blow lost balloons back to the children that lost them

Or he keeps the rain from ruining that one cute couple’s date that he saw in his favorite cafe

He also helps warn the weather channel because he can feel when a natural storm is coming and can tell if it’s really bad or not

Makes amazing snowmen for the neighborhood kids when they’re out on a snow day (that may or may not be his fault)

Jinyoung

Elemental mage who can work with earth, air, fire, and water.

He and Daehwi are very closely connected due to the natural inclinations of their magical specialties

Anyway this kid is really powerful but no one knows just how powerful because his control is amazing

They’ve only ever seen glimpses of his powers when his emotions flare up - which is a rare occurrence in itself

They’ve seen him make a bonfire twice as large because goodness these marshmallows aren’t going to roast themselves

Oh there’s a small drought happening and Jaehwan needs fresh water for his potions? No prob the air still has some moisture in it

Speaking of air suddenly all the smog over Seoul is gone and scientists are completely baffled because it shouldn’t be????

Oh wow look at that dangerous sinkhole in someone’s backyard wouldn’t it be funny if it suddenly closed up?

So yeah, they know he’s pretty powerful but only he knows exactly what he can do

Which is create and get rid of a forest fire that could wipe out millions

He can raise the ocean to cover skyscrapers

He can level rainforest with a single breath

And he can split a continent in two

But like all that is boring and there’s really no point to it so he sticks to accidentally blowing that monsoon a little off course so it misses any land and mysteriously dissipates over the ocean

His familiar is a turtle for some reason

But he loves his turtle friend and takes very good care of him by making sure the water in his tank is clean and at the perfect temperature

They actually have a good relationship because the turtle is very in tune with the earth and offers Jinyoung advice on controlling his powers

Woojin

This kid’s a straight up traditional wizard

I’m talking keeps a grimoire and everything

He’s got a spell for anything and everything

Keeps careful notes on the phases of the moon and records his spells when they work

The only nontraditional thing about him is his familiar which is a Basset Hound who loves to sleep… all day… sometimes Woojin worries he might be dead finally….

Anyway Woojin especially loves using crystals to enhance his magic and prefers performing at night

He believes there’s a goddess who created all and constantly offers spells to her because yikes she would be scary when angry

Anyway like I said, he really loves to use crystals because their energy is the strongest to him

As a result, his room is very… colorful. He has cut crystals, uncut ones, geodes, and even a few that are probably slightly radioactive but he swears it isn’t harmful and he needs them for good energy for his driving test next week

The thing is, his crystals really do have good magica energy because he scared the shit out of Jihoon one night when they started glowing during the spell he was casting

Later Jihoon asked what he was casting a spell for and Woojin answered that it was because he had constipation

But the crystals are actually really helpful and powerful when combined with Woojin’s spells

One time one of Daniel’s favorite animals was really sick and nothing he did would heal him so Woojin got some powerful herbs and his best crystals and wrote his own spell

The animal was better the next day and Daniel cried and gave Woojin like 6 new crystals he found while hiking the mountains in search of new dragon civilizations

Sungwoon

Fortune teller!

His preferred method is with tarot cards, but he is proficient with all types - crystal balls, palm reading, tea leaves, etc.

Literally has the stereotypical fortune teller shop covered in rugs and beads and stuff and wears heavy eyeliner and hooped earrings like he doesn’t need to but it’s his “aesthetic”

Has a crystal ball collection in his bedroom instead of like an action figure collection lmao dweeb

His favorite set of tarot cards is actually really minimalist which is surprising for his style, but they were a gift from his friends when he finally opened his shop so he’s really fond of them and only uses them on special occasions

His familiar is a bald eagle somehow and he’s still not sure how it got to Korea but he just goes with it because the eagle has some great jokes

Anyway, most of his fortune telling is just letting people know whether they’re gonna find love or wealth or whatever in the future

But every now and then someone comes in that just sets his magic off and he’s like woah okay this person is important I have to be careful

Sometimes world governments will secretly contact him to predict the outcome of a potential conflict with another country to see if it will be worth it or not because his predictions are always incredibly accurate

He doesn’t like doing that though and often lies saying nah war is a bad idea right now try talking it out instead

One time he predicted that Jinyoung was gonna sneeze 12 times in a row and he was right so now Guanlin has to clean his room for a month

Fun fact: the best tea for predicting is actually Earl Grey it’s just so clear like wow 1080p high def futures nice

Guanlin

Necromancer and spirit talker. Yeah he’s one powerful little shit

He doesn’t like raising people from the dead because he can’t actually raise them completely because that’s impossible, but he can bring their bodies back for a short period of time

He much prefers talking to spirits and ghosts because unlike reanimated bodies, they can actually speak and think like normal humans - they’re just a little more transparent. And also dead but ya know whatevs

Has definitely played pranks with the ghosts on his friends multiple times because his magic allows him to make spirits visible to anyone for a short period of time

His magic may seem a little less useful than others but he actually has a thriving business of people contacting him to see if they can talk to someone who’s died because they still have regrets they need to work out

For example, an elderly woman whose husband recently passed who didn’t get the chance to tell him she loved him one last time

Or another elderly lady who made a bet with her best friend in like 7th grade and she totally just won but her friend is dead but she still wants to brag

Anyway, Guanlin gets a lot of stress from this sometimes because it’s super sad but at the same time, he learns a lot

And the spirits have the coolest things to say really, especially ones from a different time

His familiar is a bat that he’s talked to like once because she’s always asleep during the day and doesn’t like being woken up

It’s chill though she always goes out at night anyway and he goes to sleep because some of the really scary spirits come out at night and nope not dealing with that nope nope
