i love the amount of narrative haunting that happens in iwtv. like yeah claudia is haunting the narrative and louis is haunted by the narrative. but i want to talk about how fucked up it is when the ghost is right there in the room because you cant tell me that that narrative isnt being violently haunted by amadeo of venice he is screaming and tearing at the bars of his cage but he cant do anything because armand is stood there like 🫥 the entire time. the ghost is there in the room inside armand but he is haunting like no one’s business, he’s in ever movement and flinch and flash of anger and touch and the painting on the wall and the sun outside. but hes not really there

Which part of Lord of the Rings is your favourit?

Oh! Where do I begin!?

When I was young, really young, I’d have to say my favorite was reading about Sam defeating Shelob, as an elementary schooler who was deathly afraid of spiders.

Then I got a little bit older and my favorite part was Eowyn. I was too young to fully grasp her character arc, so at the time I just thought it was really cool seeing a woman swing a sword and win. (I dressed up as her for Halloween!)

Maybe a year after that, when I started writing my chapters a little longer, my characters a little darker, because I thought it was fun and interesting, my favorite chapter was the Scouring of the Shire. (Scourging? Scouring? Apparently I can never get it right, ha ha!)

Tom Bombadil was definitely my favorite at… some point? I mean, it’s Tom Bombadil!

But what is my favorite part in Lord of the Rings? Why do I read and read and read these books and watch the movies over and over? Well, I’m afraid I can’t say it succinctly.

My favorite part…

Every time I read Lord of the Rings I come across my new favorite part, my new favorite character. I forget the little nuances each year and discover something new every time, every time.

The Talking Fox that shows up for a thought and then is whisked away.

Beregond and Bergil, who take Pippin under their wing in Gondor when Faramir and Denethor and Gandalf are busy.

Boromir, poor Boromir, who I’ve finally come to understand after all these years.

I love the snark of Bilbo in his notes to relatives, I love Frodo's inability to leave the Shire and his friends' inability to leave him. I love meeting Strider, not Aragorn, I love the quietness of Rivendell, I love how the Fellowship grows and interacts with each other. I love Boromir's short arc, I love the Three Hunters, I love the slow, deep thoughtfulness of Treebeard. I love Frodo's strength and hopeless hope, I love Sam's grounded nature and determination, I love every single poem and song that is thrown in there just because it can be. I love Faramir's wit, I love Gollum's complaining.

And I haven't even gotten to Return of the King.

In short (TL;DR), I discover my new favorite part every time I open up the book. Perhaps I'll be able to give you a better answer when I finish it again next year. :)

You can’t just say that and then not share

They're all still there and she can see them. She knows some, but not all. The missing that are forever lost to all but the bloodstained scythe, the remorseless broom, and the grieving guard.

The guard pays her respects to the unmourned. A teddy bear, a hammer, and a toy racecar. A tombstone of stashed sentiment that means nothing to all but her and the almost forgotten.

She will bring more soon, she promises. The lost cannot hear the lonely. She will bring more soon, she swears.

A guardian made of metal and circuitry, zeros and ones. One last shred of humanity they may never feel again, left alone to remember them in the only way she can, a kindness she'd never receive. Standing over a grave no one else would mark, an endless vigil for the missing she never lost, and the ones she did. One remaining witness to the mistake that drips dark red, a monster that continues to hunt a prey already rotted. She will never set it free. The dead cannot be buried.

What a cruelty. What an injustice.

She will bring more soon, she promises.

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
