#saruman of many colors

@ainurweek day 2

Curumo / The music of the Ainur

Since the begining Curumo has contemplated his role in the music. He had sung with Aule but the discord had swept him up in confusion until he could hear nothing else. Then in his desperation he joined in. He keeps this to himself. He tries to make sense of what it means for him to be marred like this and opposes Melkor even more fiercely. As he worries his thoughts take shapes of many colors.

Happy Pride day everyone!

Saruman calls himself Saruman of many colors, yet his coat never flashed any pride flag in particular… Then I decided to dye it of eight different flags for eight different sexualities.

This is rather specific and I only know about gays, trans, pans and bis, so I expect you to spill some hate/complaints on the reblogs or messages.

Hope you like it!

This is a Wander over Yonder post, but I immediately thought of Saruman of Many Colors, as he became known after joining Sauron.

He wasn't a hippy in any sense of the word. But whenever he comes up, I always end up imagining Sir Christopher Lee in a Tie Dye Cloak, playing Hacky Sack with the Palantir.

I am blanking what's the name of that guy? The evil guy who went hippie?

I only have brightly colored markers atm so let’s just pretend he’s grey, ok

Anyone read Lord of the Rings and remember how Saruman went from Saruman the White to Saruman of the Many Colors because he started to manipulate each individual in specific ways that applied to just that person?

And his downfall was he tried to weave his web of lies and individually manipulate each person in the group from Helm's Deep, but his cunning words to Theoden made Wormtongue realize he was being lied to this whole time and he got so mad he stabbed Saruman in the back and threw him off the tower?

idk it's giving Kaboodle.

obviously we reserved tickets to see the re-run of return of the king in theatres and i've been contemplating doing a full aragorn cosplay about it because this should be a national holiday

buuuuuuuuuuuut

seiji's genius idea for us is to dress up as gandalf and saruman, so now i have to make a very difficult Decision

Ok apparently saruman had a rainbow coat in his closet and that never made it into the movie.

Peter jackson i will never forgive you.

#the juxtaposition of the rhapsodies about plantlife and allusions to more mythologies than 1 person can possibly catch #and the grounded comedy of sam gamgee breaking a guy’s nose with an apple #is imo a KEY element of the whole experience (via tanoraqui)

Lord of the Rings is so good. I’m just not over how good it is. I knew I’d like it on the macro scale, and I knew and cared deeply about the characters beforehand, via movies, meta, osmosis. But what the fuck it’s just wall to wall descriptions of a hedge that are transcendental — like that hedge is making me feel like I’m 20 and talking to a beautiful girl in a club bathroom — and catty dialogue and also a small love story to the some particular dyke constructed in the Dark Ages.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you MUST watch the animated version of LOTR. It has everything. Rotoscopy. balrog. Hot Aragorn. shadow puppets. An incredibly rushed ending. Saruman's Technicolor Dreamcoat

This does actually sound very entertaining, I should check it out! (I desperately want the shadow puppets to be the Nazgul...)

Do not apologize this is the funniest thing anyone has ever said to me

*touches your face softly with my long manicured wizard nails* you could not begin to comprehend the depths and depravity of my transsexualism
