Not to mention the bugs are back

Tonight, we remember one who lent his enormous talent to telling the story we have all come to love. Hail, the victorious dead!

May the Simbelmynë cover his tomb as it did the tomb of the one he so accurately portrayed.

the lack of compassion that a good portion of lotr fans show for frodo ("why can't he fight or do simple tasks" "why is he so weak" "why does he always need help / to be rescued") mirrors the lack of compassion of people for those who bear the burden of invisible disabilities. he's struggling against an immense weight at every step! something that actively tries to destroy him, worsening at every moment! his heroism is in just continuing to walk his path, step by step. his bravery is in just existing as himself under the debilitating weight of the ring. but because the influence of the ring is invisible, it is forgotten, and frodo is written off as a weak, cowardly, and/or useless character, much like disabled people irl. in this household we do not stand for frodo slander!!!

Got him to leave his room but at what cost

[tempus-neminem-manet13]

Bugs Bunny could have simply walked into Mordor. He would have shown up at the gates of Mordor in a disguise and been like "Evil volcano inspection unit" and flashed a fake ID badge to the confused orc.

" I know ive kissed you like ten times, but just another like ten please" for Mark ? I really like your writing btw 👉🏼👈🏼

“It’s twelve,” you announced after you checked the time on your dashboard, the digital clock being an annoying reminder that your date was over. Your boyfriend beside you groaned, his closed eyes scrunching with disappointment. You smiled softly at his reaction and patted his thigh to get him moving.

“Already?” he asked as he sat up in your passenger seat, putting the seat back in an upright position. The action gave you deja vu almost every time, reminding you of the last time he had lunch with you in your car. He figured after the third time he’d asked you to bring him lunch you would get tired of it, but you never did.

“Yeah, sorry, love,” you chuckled, smoothing the back of his hair down as the headrest had managed to slightly mess it up.

He leaned into your touch out of instinct which made you smile, “Alright, I guess I have to go then.”

“Yeah, I don’t want Yugyeom to fuss at me for keeping you too long again.”

He laughed, his pearly white teeth making you melt like it was the first time you’d seen them all over again, “Yeah, he was definitely annoyed with us last time.”

He thanked you for bringing him his food and pecked his lips against yours sweetly. Then he immediately dived back in for another one, this time with just a bit more passion behind it. Your hand somehow ended up on the nape of his neck, twirling the hair there subconsciously with your fingertips. If you knew it would only spur him on further, you wouldn’t have done it. Because the next thing you knew he was pressing chaste kisses to your lips, your nose, your cheeks. Finally, you had to gently push him away with your hands on his chest and a grin on your lips.

“You need to go,” you reminded him, “The guys are gonna kick your ass.”

He sighed once more, admitting his defeat before picking up his wallet and getting out of the car. After the door was closed, you shook your head and checked your phone for any messages. That’s when Mark knocked on your window, signaling for you to roll it down.

When you did, he rested his elbow on the door and gave you the signature puppy dog eyes you grew to love, “I know I’ve kissed you like, ten times, but just like another ten. Please?”

You scoffed, holding back a laugh, “Mark, no. You can have as many kisses as you want after practice.”

“But that’s four hours from now, _________!”

“You can do it. We’ve done months apart for tour. I think you can handle four hours.”

“Fine,” he frowned, backing away from the door and waving goodbye, but not before telling you he loved you and to drive safe.

I'm not going to reblog Yet Another Longpost of someone desperately trying to paint LotR as a deeply and inherently racist story, because this morning I just do not have the patience to retread that stupid discourse for the fifty-thousandth time, but this time I actually saw a somewhat original argument that LotR promotes xenophobia because the Shire is portrayed as being In The Right for trying to fence out the rest of the world, and that the only portrayed flaw in that thinking is 'you can't fence out the world forever' and not that it's actually Wrong.

Did we read the same books? Because in the books I read, I really don't think that could be further from the truth. The Shire is largely idyllic, yes, but hobbits' tendency towards close-mindedness and ignorance of the outside world is pretty consistently shown in a poor light. Bilbo and Frodo's knowledge of the outside and their friendships with the elves are shown as positives, as is Sam's fascination with both. The Scouring of the Shire is probably the closest Tolkien ever got to direct allegory in the entire story, and it's about the tragedies of industrialization and the losses of war following you home, not a screed against foreigners. And for that matter, when they rebuild the Shire, they don't do so by making it just as it was before. Sam uses the gift from Galadriel to restore the Shire by introducing beautiful new trees that were never present before.

Come on, people.

- It’s such a weight to carry -

I really loved to see again the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings triologies, this universe in which you can immerse so easily. Frodo's fight against the ring’s hold on him is the thing I love the most.
