LOA Shiptober Day 4: How They Met

October content month was ambitious..

This one took me. Shockingly long. Whoops! I’ll probably end up jumping around the prompt list and it might extend into November 😋

I’ll try to do day 31 on the actual date of Halloween though 🫡

Love the specific genre of JTTW animations that’s just “Sun Wukong experiences the stress of fatherhood”

Actually you know what? Maybe I do want to complain about Warren. Maybe I do want to be annoyed that parts of the fandom seem to worship him despite him being a basic normal dude who thinks the friendzone is real and is kinda pushy. Maybe I want to be annoyed that my interpretation of Max’s nightmare is that she’s kinda creeped out by his interest in her is one that I apparently can’t say without people getting pissed.

Like. I don’t hate Warren. I think he is a basic ass flat character that exists in LiS for a certain reason (like most of the Blackwell characters tbh) and that parts of the fandom have over exaggerated the importance of.

I feel like y’all are not understanding the role of incest in gothic media like crimson peak

I keep seeing stuff like oh Lucille was just evil and abusive and Thomas is a poor little meow meow

They BOTH were horribly abused and isolated which led to the horror of the film, their incestuous relationship and murdering

Like the only reason Thomas even grew and changed was because he experienced a healthy love through Edith for the first time

She never got that and her obsession with him (which is super tied to her idea of safety and love and her FEAR) ultimately led to both of their deaths but this is a direct result the abuse she experienced

@emeraldchase okay, here goes!

I’ve seen a lot of jokes about how the best the Ring can do to tempt Sam is a garden. I’ve laughed at them too, but there’s an element to some of the jokes that dismisses the importance of the scene in my opinion. 

The Ring offers power according not only to a person’s desires, but to their abilities. We can infer from what the Ring offers Sam that Sam would desire to do good with it, (arguably, overthrowing Barad-dur and turning the wasteland of Mordor into a garden is a good desire,) but that doesn’t mean it’s not a dangerous power fantasy in its own way. The desire to remake the world in one’s own image and enforce it by any means necessary is something not even our dear Sam is immune to. He’s not imagining a world where nothing threatens peace, he’s imagining being the threat that enforces the peace. If it takes a flaming sword to bring his order into the world then it takes a flaming sword. The Ring tries to convince him it would give him the power to do so. 

The Ring is, of course, a liar, and it’s a credit to Sam that he realized that after rejecting what the Ring was offering him, but it’s also a credit to Sam that he rejected it in the first place. This is his equivalent to Galadriel’s test. Unlike Galadriel, however, he’s in possession of the Ring at the time the temptation comes upon him and I think that’s saying something. 

Curiously, his reward when he returns to the Shire gives him the wholesome version of these desires, not to mention many more blessings besides.

The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command.

Though Sam as the mayor isn’t a position of great power equal to the great kingdoms of Middle-earth by any stretch, it’s a responsibility. (What that looks like is better seen in the unpublished epilogue to the story, in my opinion.) A responsibility he’s proven himself capable of handling. Likewise with a garden swollen to a realm. The part of the Shire that most benefited from his use of Galadriel’s gift was Hobbiton, it’s true, but he did travel the four farthings of the Shire to mend what harms he could. 

I’m not suggesting that Sam could have become this tyrannical ruler, because Sam hasn’t trained his will to the domination of others and also does not have the innate power that Gandalf and Galadriel both have. (Not to mention Sam is correct that Sauron would have seen him if he’d put the Ring on in Mordor: Frodo put on the Ring at Mount Doom and Sauron was instantly aware.) There are few enough who would survive a direct contest with Sauron in a situation like that, so I’m not putting Sam down either by saying that Sam putting on the Ring would have doomed Middle-earth. 

What I’m saying is that just because the vision was of a garden doesn’t mean it wouldn’t have been detrimental to Sam’s character if he’d accepted the vision. Gandalf was wary of even handling it. Sam meanwhile goes to the ends of the earth as far as his people are concerned, right alongside the Ringbearer, and remains mainly concerned for the welfare of Frodo. The thought of what he might do with the Ring hasn’t crossed his mind until that moment. When measured up against his devotion to his master and also his plain hobbit-sense, the Ring can’t compete.

okay hear me out

billy vangelis and one-eyed jack but they’re toxic divorced exes fighting over custody of jonny but carmilla wanted in so she just fucking killed one of them 😭

“my boy” jack speaking as if jonny is his own ^

^ jack says this as if billy would know well by now who he was

^ he was SO QUICK to the idea of adopting jonny. like he was excited that he had “won”. also calling him “dear” like they’re close in some way

^ alright there’s a lot to unpack here…

“you only ever did what you thought was best for me”. jonny says this like they’ve met many times before and jack was just trying to protect him, kind of like how a father would. among these things was killing billy. but like, WHY??? WHY BILLY?????

mother carmilla swooping in. jonny decided he was done with daddy issues and ready for mommy issues. alright. you go king, i think

jonny killing jack with zero hesitation was also very interesting to me. d’ville is not at all a character known well for sympathizing… so why should that make carmilla any different? was he just bored?? not to mention that carmilla’s the one that nudged him on the arm and said “hey. hey. you know that guy that’s been treating you with nothing but respect since you met? kill him. shoot him in the skull.” and jonny cocked his gun and said “lol okie dokie”

anyways wouldn’t that be cool. wouldn’t that be epic. slowly realizing this went from a funny headcanon to a deeply in depth theory so sorry that you had to read but also wouldn’t that be epic.
