Silmarillion AU Where All The Elves Are Hobbits And The Stakes Are Significantly Lower:

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?)

This came out a little blurred (most likely because I had an exam & had to use it becauee I forgot I had another eraser), but look which creepyboye visited me!

(I actually meant to post this alot earlier, but I kiiinda forgot about it lmao)

I was minding my own goddamn business only to suddenly remember this scene exists

I don't know how to explain it, but it's addressing something so visceral in me.

Like. Did anyone ever expand on how Arthur literally didn't even blink before getting up to save Merlin from the onslaught he would have faced for his outrage? He just got up immediately and took Merlin away, held and handled his anger, and even gave him the respite (visiting Gaius) that he needed.

Wtf. Like boy no you're not supposed to be this fucking in sync with your manservant's reactions. But it's as if he predicted it even, because he saw in Merlin the exact same reaction he wanted to do, but had the tact not to because he grew up with boundaries. So he goes on to save his boy instead.

Sick of how much these two loved each other

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.

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.

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

So, for context I'm not really a theater kid, but I do at least know their names.

Anyway, last night while I was looking through pinterest I saw a post about hamlet. My brain decided that it was a fun post, so I remembered it today.

Problem was, I realized I was mixing it up with another play.

Using my big brain, I thought about what play I was mixing it up with but I came up with nothing other than "Uhh, there were some presidents or somethinggg,,?? I think there were some nice songs,,maybe??"

As I was laying in bed, I remembered:

Hamilton. I was mixing up Hamlet with Hamilton.

I will never be in an irl situation as funny as when I inetracted with haley (who clearly likes alex), said "I'm going to get such a nice tan this summer." and then alex, who is standing right next to haley when I interact with said "Hey Farmer girl. You've got a nice tan going." Ajsksjshshsjjsjsjsjks

op has raw power

uh-oh looks likes you don't spark joy *sends you into the pit*

Feanor should be allowed to return to Middle Earth early for one (1) reason only and that’s to whale on Sauron for what he did to his Baby Grandson(s) cc @verecunda
