Ya know, it's the fact that Elwing was even condemned for having children in the first age and being called 'awful' 'abusive' 'neglectful' or 'selfish' for that, that just makes me cringe, and die on the inside. Even the decision of wanting a family, because she lost hers at a YOUNG AGE, is met with disdain because apparently, she should've never and because 'iT wAS nOt sAfE'. Like hello?? Sirion was fucking striving for a long time and my girl wanted her family back and to have some semblance of happiness (because, unlike the blorbos, she never got the chance to grow up with her twin siblings in a blessed realm), and even that wasn't allowed. IDK MAN the twins could've grown up safe with an ACTUAL PARENT if Sirion hadn't been attacked or some BS. I kept seeing that in the notes in every elwing defense post and bruhhhhhhh the victim blaming goes so wild that I kahdashdkashdka wtf

This is really such an asinine and disingenuous argument it's hard to waste the energy to combat it. Anyone who really argues this is reaching SO incredibly deeply for reasons to hate Elwing.

By this logic--you shouldn't have kids in dangerous times--humanity would be extinct because for most of human history it's been dangerous everywhere. And it may not have even been her choice--it's not like they had birth control and Plan B and cycle-tracking apps in Middle-earth. You have sex with your husband, there's a chance you're getting a baby, whether you want one or not. What was she or women like her meant to do? Never have PIV sex?

Also, the Havens at Sirion had been a thriving, multicultural hub up until some people sacked it and killed everyone. So they may well have considered this a safe place to be at the time Elrond and Elros were conceived (intentionally or otherwise).

I honestly wouldn't waste time arguing with anyone taking this stance. It's just too stupid to deserve a rebuttal.

10 characters, 10 fandoms, 10 tags ✨

Proceed with caution I get chatty!! Thanks @funkyliloboist

Luna Valente (Soy Luna)

My ultimate blorbo <3 but for real I relate to her on so many levels but especially with her adoption storyline. I rarely find characters that depict my feelings as well as hers regarding her adoption and it was such a surprise and refreshing take. Her s2 chat with Ámbar is by far one of my fave scenes ever on this topic. And beyond that I just love her optimism and kindness. She’s def more active and athletic than me and has way more of a bubbly personality. So I wouldn’t say she’s me exactly, but I do like to call her my daughter <3

Bia (BIA)

I love Helena a lot and think about her often, but I have a soft spot for my dcla lead girlies and I just feel that while Bia may be considered the coolest and laidback dcla lead, there’s so much more to her (I GET HER THE MOST!!! The baby sister energy it me it me). She’s also dealing with so so so much. And as I watched the series, I connected a lot with her grief and how she used creativity and friendship to power through difficult times. And I admired her for how she never made everything about herself but always went out of her way for the people around her.

Francesca Caviglia (Violetta)

Vilu is so close, but I think ultimately I choose Fran as my fave (I mean Vilu would too). There’s this scene in s3 where Diego comments on how much she loves her friends and how loyal she is and ugh that’s exactly why I love her so much too (preach Diego!!) She really just cares so deeply for her friends and it’s so 🥹 also her voice??? Girl can sang!!! Girl can perform!!! When she starts strumming that guitar and sings out her heart I am SEATED!! Plus like everyone on this crack show she can be an absolute looney tune and I love her for it <3

Kara Danvers/Supergirl (Supergirl)

First of all Melissa Benoist deserves an Emmy for her role. She embodied Supergirl in every damn way and I bow down to her. But ugh I just love everything Kara is and stands for. She’s everything I wish I could be. She’s what I strive to be. She’s everything. I’m very normal about it!!!

Lorelai Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)

If Luna is my daughter, Lorelai is my bonus mother. This lady raised me. She was such a role model to me growing up and rewatching the series I still was just as enamored with her as I was as a kid. I just adore her sense of humor. I never take life too serious and she taught me it was ok to be my goofy self all the way into adulthood because you better have some fun when life knocks you around. Not to mention all her pop culture references. I wanted to be as cool as her soooo bad. (And I blame my coffee addiction on her)

Abed Nadir (Community)

He’s any tv fanatic’s fave for good reason. He perfectly exemplified what it means to love television/film/media and have hyper fixations. And he never stopped being himself no matter what anyone thought of him even tho he was always so fully aware of what people thought of him. He also just had the biggest heart. He loved the study group so much he saw them the same way he saw his favorite shows. And I just ❤️

Zoey Clarke (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist)

It’s been a while since I watched this show but it was really nice to have a modern show revolved around someone my age that did such a good job of depicting what that looks like balancing all parts of her life. I also like that she’s more rough around the edges and introverted but still a very caring individual. Even tho unlike her I would LOVE witnessing everyone’s heart songs and music in general I loved experiencing that reluctant journey with her. I feel like she’s someone who I would click with so easily. (Also cool that she worked in STEM!)

Lemon Breeland & Wade Kinsella (Hart of Dixie)

My rewatch of Hart of Dixie was such a gift and my love for Lemon just grew a second time around. She’s someone I relate to the least but I just was so obsessed with her arc. And even tho she could be vain and cruel, there was also such a softness to her. And the way she grappled with the pain of her mother’s abandonment and proved herself to be nothing like her was beautiful to watch. I love how damn determined she always was to fight for herself as well as those she loved.

I’m cheating but idc because Wade had a similarly amazing arc becoming the man he was always meant to be. I love that that he always did care for his father and the town of Bluebell. He played himself down and acted like he didn’t care but he always stepped up when it mattered and when he finally got the confidence to see himself as something more, he really became a better man and I was so damn proud of him.

(Also their unlikely friendship: iconic)

Winston Bishop (New Girl)

Every character on this show is lovable and funny af. But I just adore Winston so much. In the beginning they had such a hard time figuring out who he was going to be but once they channeled this puzzling Prank Sinantra bird shirt wearing cat lover it was kismet. And as absolutely bonkers as his character was he was still grounded and deserved his happy ending too. I love how he ended up falling for Aly and how amazing that relationship ended up being next to the more setup stories for Nick/Jess and Schmidt/CeCe through the years. I’m so glad they threw away their initial plans of him being a smug b-ball dude to just being the fun loving Furguson dad we know and love.

Tagging whoever feels like it 🤪
