All the Times Loid and Yor Showed They Were Aroace

Everytime they were ever told to kiss

This completely alloromantic reaction to being asked on a date

The refusal to fall under the "they were roommates" trope

Loid's romance repulsion

When a woman tried to break up their platonic marriage

The time Yor thought Loid was gonna kiss her so she knocked him out

Do you have any Iruka hcs

Yo, anon! Sorry, this one took a while. Im not sure if that's what you've been asking about, but I had a very fun idea I wanted to try so! Here we go. My sketching spree continues…

Conclusion: everyone loves Iruka-sensei.

And those who doesn't… Well, they usually don't live long.

Having finally watched Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim, Héra was a genuinely good protagonist.

She was courageous and perceptive. She didn't take lives lightly. She loved her family dearly and she valued her friendship with Wulf more than he ever did. I particularly enjoyed her scenes with Háma and Fréaláf and wish we had gotten more of them.

I LOVED that she is aroace coded and that she doesn't want to rule. I feel that so many female characters are written as not wanting marriage until they find the right man, but those who don't want it at all are still not represented enough and I loved that Héra had other aspirations and wanted freedom.

I also adored the gothic element of her story. Finding a moth-eaten dress of a bride who died the night before her marriage and choosing to wear that to face Wulf was such a slap on the face to him and a symbol of Héra pledging herself to death for her people.

“I am bride to no man.”

“Then tell me, to whom are you pledged?”

“Death.”

Me, watching War of the Rohirrim: hey that one scene with the orcs was kinda funny! There was good scene chemistry there!

Me, watching the credits: Aha…

Hera from War of the Rohirrim is aroace. This is canon. She literally says she'll be the bride of no man, and when asked who she's pledged to, she says "Death." Fucking metal. Fucking aroace power move. Fucking icon. That is all.

The War of the Rohirrim was fantastic. Best addition to the Lord of The Rings franchise in 20 years. Also so, so beautifully animated.

Some of the reviews for War of the Rohirrim, mentioning that "it doesn't justify its existence" makes me remember how absolutely soulless professional "critics" can be. It's a good movie, it respects the source material, it stands on its own. What more do you want?

Yeah we can point out the problems with the film, cause they do exist, but saying "This was only made to extend the IP" shows a lack of knowing what you're talking about, because there are so many other softball methods of doing that. Specifically choosing the story of Helm Hammerhand, expanding it in a way that does feel rather Tolkien-esque, and having it be an anime does not feel like a safe move, even if it is attached to one of the most recognizable fantasy franchises. If it was just an IP thing and nothing else, it would have been much safer.

Not to mention how a certain other Middle Earth adaptation has so thoroughly poisoned the well for adaptations. This movie is how interpretation and expansion of Tolkien's works, or any source material really, should be done.

As a fan of Tolkien, fantasy in general, and anime, I definitely recommend going to see War of the Rohirrim in theaters.
