#but I never connected the two

[riverofempathy]

Just had a thought that makes me smile but also makes me sad.

Bilbo was Thorin’s Sam.

Frodo and Sam have that deep, soulful, unbreakable bond that can’t be quantified in a few words. It goes beyond brotherhood and friendship and even romance. They’re soulmates. Period. They love each other, they need each other. When they’re sitting side by side during the eruption of Mount Doom, thinking they’re going to die, and remembering home and grieving what they could have had, they rest their heads together in such a gentle, loving, vulnerable way that just… tells us everything we need to know about their relationship. Without saying anything at all. Because how could you? How could you summarize what they mean to each other?

In one of the final scenes of the Hobbit: the Battle of the Five Armies, Bilbo says goodbye to the dwarves, and he talks about Thorin, and what he meant to him. He can’t even get the words out. “He was… He was my…” Your what, Bilbo? Friend? Brother? Partner? Family? He doesn’t even have to find the words. They understand. They know he loved Thorin, we know he loved Thorin, more than words could ever describe. And in a way that transcended even Thorin’s kin. When Thorin was mad with dragon sickness (like Frodo was with the corruption of the One Ring), who was the one person that Thorin trusted? Who was the one person he spoke to gently? Who kept him the most grounded?

Bilbo.

Just like Sam did for Frodo.

"are you asking me or making me?" is soooooo interesting to me because i think armand only asks it when he can't gauge whether he's letting louis down. it's barely even sexual - it's a hail mary. it's a show of trust, indirectly admitting that he wants to do something other than what louis expects of him, but that he's willing to obey louis anyway, for the sake of their relationship. it's sort of heartbreaking watching them at the sacré-cœur, because if louis had said "i'm making you" armand would've done it in a heartbeat. he would've taken it as a show of committment on louis' part, and he wouldn't have betrayed him. but louis takes the question just as an expression of disagreement, and so he doesn't play the game. ironically, he respects armand's independence too much to make him turn madeleine if he doesn't want to. and so armand isn't convinced of louis' commitment to him, and he betrays him.

and by the time we see them in san fransisco, louis knows what the question means now, and answers "no, arun, i'm not asking" without question. and armand accepts it without complaint, even as it pains him. companionship really is the most important thing in the world to armand, just like it is for lestat, and he's willing to do any number of horrible things to louis and himself just to keep him as a companion, just like lestat. louis' biggest mistake is not realising how to use that to his advantage sooner.

edit: HELP people are reblogging this again. i misremembered the context of the scene - louis is asking armand to witness the turning, not do it himself. still, if armand had gone along to witness, that would have 100% been taken as implicit permission for louis to turn madeleine (thereby adhering to the first of the great laws) and, in essence, "agreeing" with her turning where before he ordered claudia to drive madeleine out of town. this hypocrisy, and the further bending of the rules for louis' sake (he's given permission to turn a mortal despite neither of them being in the coven), would have been seen by the coven as betrayal. armand knows this; he doesn't think madeleiene should be turned for these reasons; that's why he asks, "are you asking me or making me?"

still. if louis had said "i'm making you" i think armand would've gone along to witness, implicitly giving his permissing for madeleine to be turned and functionally changing his allegiance from the coven to louis once and for all. so the core point of the post still stands.

I know this was technically forever ago on my part (since I’m halfway through ep 30), but I am still REELING over the whole Gideon love curse in episode 26. Mostly because Kremy was under the aladrin curse, and Gideon WILLINGLY mentioned that he loved Kremy’s regular form just as much as the aladrin form. And then, when the love curse eventually dissipated, the DM said “you see Kremy as the sniveling alligator that he is, but you still love him”

ALSO???? THE ODDLY CONVIENENT DICE ROLLS???? LIKE WITH THE MATCHING LOBSTER OUTFITS???? Also the fact that the rest of the Krew (Twig and Torbek included) took one look at them, and basically keep saying “oh my sweet fuck just kiss already”. Hell, that one snake NPC took one look at Gideon and essentially said “I know what you are”. Why else would she bring up “falling in love” specifically????
