Having beef with someone is unnecessary and avoidable. Whatever the issue, if not positive, it is an opportunity to cut the excess fat from an unhealthy dietary network. Simply excuse yourself from the table of negativity and lean forward in peace.

"By ill chance, at that place in the outworks stood Gwindor of Nargothrond, the brother of Gelmir. Now his wrath was kindled to madness, and he leapt forth on horseback, and many riders with him; and they pursued the heralds and slew them, and drove on deep into the main host. . . [T]hey burst through the Gate and slew the guards upon the very stairs of Angband, and Morgoth trembled upon his deep throne, hearing them beat upon his doors. But they were trapped there, and all were slain save Gwindor only, whom they took alive; for Fingon could not come to their aid. . . Then in the plain of Anfauglith, on the fourth day of the war, there began Nirnaeth Arnoediad, Unnumbered Tears, for no song or tale can contain all its grief." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of the Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad"

[ID: four posters in shades of black and grey, with red and white accents.

1: An image in the lower right corner shows a dark-skinned person with curly hair standing against a wall. A blindfold is tied across their face and one hand is raised to their chest. Three dashed red lines frame the image; one is vertical and overlaps the image on the left side, while the other two are horizontal and cross the figure in the image at their wrist and neck. White vertical text along the first red line reads "Gelmir," while white text in the upper left corner reads "With them they brought Gelmir son of Guilin, that lord of Nargothrond whom they had captured in the Bragollach; and they had blinded him." All text is italicized / 2: Three lengths of chain hanging in the dark. A red rectangle at the bottom of the image contains white italicized text reading "Then the heralds of Angband showed him forth, crying: ‘We have many more such at home," and is connected to the top of the image by a red dashed line on the right side / 3: A tall, long-limbed figure standing in the shadows among stone columns. Same format as Image 2, but the rectangle is at the top, and the dashed line descends from the left side. Text reads "but you must make haste if you would find them; for we shall deal with them all when we return even so.’ / 4: Same format as Image 1, but the orientation is reversed, with image is in the upper left corner showing a curly-haired person silhouetted against bright light coming through a circular window. They are looking over their shoulder at the viewer, but none of their features are discernible. Red lines cut through them at the wrist, neck, and eyes. White text along the vertical line reads "Gelmir," and at the bottom right corner, "And they hewed off Gelmir’s hands and feet, and his head last, within sight of the Elves, and left him." //End ID]

"How does this put Mr. Kinsdale in difficulty?"

"He's found his killers. And he doesn't want them in jail. And neither the machine nor I know just how successful he's going to be."

revisiting the "bodies with no faces" argument to prop up a faked corpse theory is. hrm.

like out of all the many, many traumas ive given elspeth my favorite has gotta be the deep roads lol. and specifically the way she never really got OUT of them. yeah so maybe her body did but not HER. shes still down there with ruck and helspith every time she closes her eyes. and during future expeditions when she goes down into the deep roads for real, it doesnt feel like some horrible nightmare it feels like REALITY and its the surface and love and warmth and alistair thats nothing more than a pleasant dream. one shes always going to wake up from. bc even in her happiest moments she's never not aware of the darkspawn digging up towards her just a few miles under her feet. and never not feeling the eyes of the deep roads looking at her, gleefully waiting for her, and knowing its not going anywhere

Both friend and enemy reside within us. One lives by the rule of compassion, the other by the rule of hard knocks. Though potential influence of either extreme is inevitable, our actions bear witness to the one we embrace.

Think about rethinking what you're thinking, before speaking the thought you were thinking, and cause unintended consequences for speaking what you probably shouldn't have been thinking.

i think i’m finally able to put into words why i think current continuity trying to make JPLV Sr. a character after his death who physically attempted to flee the order with jean-paul is so lacking in what his previous story did narratively: aaaand i lost it. never mind guys come back later

[coulson-is-an-avenger]

bro genuinely call the carpenter to craft me a vessel fit for this final quest!!!! I want to be forever in motion: my eternal rest!!!!!! I want the song of the breakers sounding out as I leave for those distant shores!!!!! the water pounding roaring resounding: a thunderous requiem crashing out forevermore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[velvetbunniie-archive]

bit terrified of how this book is going to end. either if she says yes or no, the execution of it is either going to make this an excellent commentary on grief and death or a glorification of abuse in a thinly veiled attempt at a beauty and the beast story.
