#when I'm

[thranduilswifesblog]

Just spend my time to annalyzed the detail Robert Aramayo gave to us as the young version of lord Elrond. Cause I'm bored, and this post literally spend me like almost 4 hours! So if you didn't like it, comment, or reblog it. Melkor will haunts you! (Just kidding. It's not Melkor, but Saruman)

The first detail is when he hold something with his hands

Hugo's hands is so pale, long, and beautiful. (Okay I need to stop) and so do Robert's. And Hugo managed to hold anything, or touch anything so gracefully, wether is it a sword or a piece of old paper. And as you can see, Robert do the same with anything he touch. he will move his fingers slowly, but slightly stomp firmly as a statement

The little smirk/smiles

Just like Hugo did in The Hobbit, while he talked to Bilbo. He will stares directly to your eyes and then just pulled the corners of his lips, and gave the impression of a smirk or a little smile. Robert nailed that too!

The pose and the way he stand

Hugo Elrond stood tall, confident. he gives off a charismatic impression, and is also a gentle leader. Robert slightly imitated how Hugo posed, but he didn't overdo it. In here he still counts as a young Herald, and not a lord. This what I hates about Amazon's costume departement (sorry boys), he makes Elrond's clothes is to baggy, and gave him this kind of cloack, and it's bad for his body shape. And it don't give his body shape a statement like they do with Arondir or Gil Galad. While on the other side Peter Jackson nailed the costume. They literally highlight his tits body shape, especially his waist.

The serious side profile

This is why I think Robert is the perfect choice for Elrond. His facial features is really looks like Hugo's. They have the same line, same gaze, almost same lips. The different is Hugo's eyebrows is sharper than Robert's. but Robert's jawline stronger than Hugo's. Cause Hugo is Older in here, but if you checked his early work in the 80s the jawline is literally as strong as Robert's

The Sad confused gaze

Hugo Elrond gave us a full of emotion in his eyes, when Arwen confronts him and said she choose Luthien's path. Hugo just staress at her right in the eyes, and I don't know how this man did that. But you can see light tears in his eyes. He don't squished it, neither let it fall. But we know he is crying and confused in the inside. And once again, Robert nailed it, you can clearly sees in his eyes he's so confused but also sad when he though he must abandoned middle earth

Say what you want to say about Robert as Elrond, but he's perfect and he understand about the character he has to played. And he also said that when he was a kid he used to takes his mum sheets and dresses as Elrond. What a cute boy! And now he's the Elrond. He's not trying to replaced Hugo, and no one can't. But he's trying to connecting the younger character he played to Hugo. And the little detail he gave is incredible, you'll not gonna notice except you watched both of their version over and over. But that's the point. He wants is as subtle as possible to the audience.

Kudos to Robert Aramayo!

And I borrowed some of the gift from @elronds-pointy-ears thank you for let me borrow your stuff! 💙💙❤❤

sharing a very sage bit of advice from The Simpsons' own John Swartzwelder that i've been trying to hamper down in my writing and drawing alike. let your inner crappy little elf do his worst

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

Every time I see that G--gle phone photoshop commercial my heart is filled with infinite sadness, like, yeah it's cool you can have a good family photo, it's cool you can do that, but god, there is something to be said for the honesty of a family photo where you're blinking, or crying, or have ugly wrinkles.

What is too unsightly for you? Would you swipe-click-replace out the image of my cousin crying on our Florida trip family reunion photo? Would you remove the plastic snake I have clenched in my grip, which I still have to this day? Would you scoff at the wrinkles around our eyes and the strands of hair on our faces as we squint into the wind, the day before the massive storm? Would I remember it if I didn't have these reminders, if the picture was perfect and clean, all children in a row with perfect gleaming white tombstone tooth smiles? No tears. No plastic snake.

Everyone is beautiful and no one looks genuine.

I feel like the age of having a "burner email" is gone. Out of curiosity,

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

personal rules for winter ❄

the tradwife movement is the same as it has always been - back in the kitchen, back to breeding - it just has better branding.

when i was younger, i hated pink. i was not like other girls. this is now something i'm embarrassed of - this was not me being a "girl's girl."

but it was expressing something many of us felt at the time: i literally wasn't what girlhood was supposed to be. this is a hard thing to explain, but you know when you're not performing girlhood correctly. it isn't as easy as "i liked x when girls liked y" - because there were other girls that liked x, too - but i never figured out exactly the correct way to like x, or to be interested in y.

now there is the divine feminine. this is the same rhetoric it has always been: women are biologically driven to like pink and ribbons and submitting to our husbands.

the problem is that the patriarchy found a better PR team. because yes, actually, i want every woman to have the choice to be a homemaker. i also want her taken seriously for her legitimate home-making labor. i want her to be recognized as also having a job, just unpaid. i want men to have this opportunity, too.

but it is no longer "i made this choice and I love it." instead it is a sixteen-paragraph rant about how selfish it is that my generation isn't having kids. instead it's long videos about how if you feed your children processed foods, you're going to kill them. instead it is "this is what womanhood is supposed to be. i feel bad for any other choices you're making."

the shame spiral is just prettier. it is large houses devoid of personality. it is the implication: if you don't have this, you aren't happy. the solid, everlasting assurance: women are actually supposed to be submitting. this is the default. this is the natural state of things. all other attempts inflict suffering.

but you can no longer say i'm not like other girls. you can no longer reject this image completely. you cannot find it revolting, even if you know that the underbelly is toxic and festering. sure, it is the same repackaged patriarchy. but the internet does not have shades of grey. you should support and reward other women! your disgust is actually internalized misogyny. not because you are seeing a vision of yourself the way they're trying to train you to be. not because you feel her ghost pass within an inch of your earlobe. not because your father will eventually ask you - why can't you be like her?

because they figured out how to make it beautiful: women will sell other women on this idea, and we will find the singular loophole in feminism. sure, she's shaming you in most of her videos. sure, she implies that a different life is obscene. but she just wants you to be happy! you'd be happier if you were listening!

and the whole time you're sitting there thinking: i'd actually just be happier if i had that kind of money.
