Jesus, nobody warned me about the amount of pron-bots that will follow you on tumblr
Actually, I’ve finished reading svsss (and the extras,) and like, what if in the airplane extras shang qinghua actually left?
Like, the angst of it all would be enough to keep me crying and in this fandom for longer
The idea that he leaves behind a note, explaining that he won’t return, won’t be found, and definitely the fact that trying to track him would be pointless.
Just…the sadness that would happen afterwards. I need me some fics like that. I need the anger and the sadness of it all.
does anyone else feel completely fucking insane thinking about the sheer volume of claims that have been proven baseless but are still repeated as fact by people in power. like i know "gaslighting" isnt a useful word when it comes to public officials but i dont know how else to describe the feeling of constantly being told that reality isnt what it is
I just want to say to my fellow female Tolkien fans that we should not feel ashamed for loving these books that are admittedly male-centric.
It’s tempting to call Tolkien a sexist for including so few female characters in his legendarium, but we must remember that the women he did include are the epitome of girl power and some of the best role models we could ask for: strong and willful and noble and brave, without sacrificing their femininity to prove themselves.
It’s glorious to me how you can flip through the books and see page after page of men doing everything … and then suddenly:
There’s Varda creating the Stars, Sun, and Moon!!
There’s Yavanna saving her trees by inspiring the creation of the Ents!!
There’s Melian making an Elf king forget his own people and then shielding an entire kingdom!!
There’s Lúthien defeating Sauron himself AND Morgoth himself!!!
There’s Idril preventing the complete annihilation of her people by creating the secret path out of Gondolin!!
There’s Galadriel resisting the One Ring!!
There’s Éowyn killing the lord of the Nazgûl!!
There’s Ioreth saving the victims of the Black Breath through her knowledge that the king will be the healer!!
There’s Arwen bridging the gap between Elves and Men as Queen of Gondor!!
There’s 100-year-old Lobelia beating Ruffians with her umbrella and leaving money in her will to help homeless hobbits!!
There’s Rosie raising 13 kids while simultaneously serving the whole Shire as Mistress of Bag End!!
There’s Elanor guarding and preserving the Red Book so that we can read it now!!!
That’s why I just can’t hold too big of a grudge about this. Yes, Tolkien didn’t write female characters too often, and it would’ve been fantastic if there were more. But when he did write them, they were amazing.
And on top of that, his male characters display literally our dream level of healthy masculinity in a man. Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, Faramir, etc. are our wish fulfillment. We have every right to enjoy that.
binghe fights sqh and he gives no indication at being powerful or with martial ability. he realises his mistake in approach. sqh makes himself small, pathetic, and easy to bully so that he is underestimated and ignored. fighting a PERSON will only increase that. well thats fine. mobei he's gonna toss ur human into a deathmatch against beasts rq ok? u wanna watch? if he gets too out of his depth you can step in he wont stop you but he knows you ALSO want to know what that little THANG is capeable of. nature doc mobei and binghe watching sqh in some demon forest. the wild qinghua, pressured out of its natural habitat. without greater predators to form symbiotic relationships with he must fend for himself. there comes the sunburst scorpion tailed bear goat- we shall soon see how the qinghua- OH HOLY SHIT HE RIPPED ITS HEAD OFF MOBEI YOUR SCRUNKLY RIPPED ITS GODDAMN HEAD OFF
THEYRE TAKING HIM OUT OF HIS NATURAL HABITAT AND SPYING ON HIM OH this is good
He didn't know he was capable of it either
If you are living right now in 2023 and are still a big fan of LOTR please reblog bro where are my fellow Tolkienites (Tolkieneers?)
Why does Jamal from KATAOWB remind me of Jschlatt?
like they are the exact same dude, just make Jschlatt a frog and you get Jamal. I can’t unsee this now, it’s just stuck in my brain.

Hiii!
I don't usually post often as I am a consumer more than a creator, but I feel like I need to say this somewhere or I will fucking shoot someone.(preferably a soldier.)
Isreal is commiting actual war crimes. Israel also actively ignores calls for 'humanitarian ceasefire', just in case they couldn't look more like a fucking cartoon villain in levels of evil. Multiple nations are also calling for the borders to be opened due to the lack of resources on the Palestinian side because the deaths daily are incredibly high, high enough that the people who were told to evacuate are returning home because it really doesn't fucking matter if thay are gonna die either way.
(I also tried to find some footage of the multiple Israeli soldiers that use kind phrases like 'If your neighbour is Arab, go to his house and shoot him' but unfortunately I couldn't find it. Do know that it is out there though.)
If you consider human rights important, I would like you to kick the first Israel-supporter you find in the shins. And burn down a mcdonalds for sending resources to Israel soldiers.
Okkk, I kinda wanna show some of my drawings and need a) an art scanner and b) self confidence. Any suggestions?
Where is the third fucking person tumblr
