oh my god i can't do this anymore

how sad, how lovely - connie converse

Nico Rosberg in the commentary box be like

- Psychic reading of Lewis’s car

- Unsubtle shade on stewards/team/driver

- Psychic reading of Lewis’s setup

- Preening self-praise comment on a graphic showing a pole he’s taken

- Psychic reading of Lewis’s driving line

- Traumatic flashback comment on teammate dynamics

-Psychic reading of Lewis’s mental state post-session

- Unprompted gushing about Lewis, refuses to elaborate, leaves

actually how you dress and present yourself really does matter because nico rosberg, who dresses like the CFO of goop, is largely thought of as narcissistic and self-obsessed, despite the fact that his primary form of social media is linkedin and his two main activities are environmental finance bro and girl dad. meanwhile sebastian vettel is out here regularly posting about his career highlights, commissioning fan art of him and senna to use as merch, and flying 6000 miles to do an insect hotel photo op, but because he dresses exclusively in flannel and hasn't touched a hairbrush in six years people think of him as a humble cabin dwelling hermit

Home race weekend for Lewis and George in Silverstone! It's sure to be a page turner! 🔎🇬🇧

Thought of the day: wouldn't it be funny if a very tired (and probably a bit depressive) reborn!Celebrimbor had to hide Sauron's broken spirit in his home in a post-LotR/Valinor au? °__°

(I am not really satisfied with this one, but I don’t wanna fight with it anymore x3)

Rereading the Lord of the Rings series recently, and it's so fascinating to me how much the series is a denial of the typical juvenile power-fantasy that is associated with the fantasy genre.

Like, the power-fantasy is the temptation the Ring uses against people It tempts Boromir with becoming the "one true king" that could save his people with fantastic power. It tempts Sam with being the savior of Middle Earth and turning the ruin that is Mordor into a great garden. It tempts Gandalf and Galadriel with being the messianic figure of legend who brings salvation to Middle Earth and great glory to herself.

The things the Ring tempts people with are becoming the typical protagonists of fantasy stories that we expect to see. and over and over we see that accepting that role, that fantasy of being the benevolent all-powerful hero, is a bad thing. LotR is about how power, even power wielded with benevolent intent, is corrupting.

And its so fascinating how so much of modern fantasy buys into the very fantasy LotR denies. Most modern fantasy is about being that Heroic power-fantasy. About good amassing power to rival evil. But LotR dares not to. It dares to be honest that there is no world where anyone amasses that power and remains good.

I guess that's one of the reasons its so compelling.
