I think Aragorn’s acts of heroism that Tolkien shows on the page as opposed to just describing are incredibly indicative of his priorities. Aragorn the healer is given far more focus than Aragorn the warrior. Tolkien chooses to focus on Aragorn as wise councillor, poet, guide, friend and especially as healer. I think this is a very intentional choice by Tolkien in what he considers to be acts of heroism, and comment on war. Lord of Rings, while depicting battles, conflict, and war isn't about the physical fighting/violence its about choosing to have hope in the face of despair, being kind/helping people and about healing from the impacts of war/conflict not about being a great warrior.

something that drives me insane on a relatively regular basis as a body jewelry understander is talking to people who have sensitive skin who are like "oh well I just can't wear any earrings without my ears getting inflamed" and I say "well what have you tried" and they say "well I've tried sterling silver and I've tried gold..." and it's like. ok. I don't know how gold and sterling somehow got spun by the jewelry industry as being especially good for sensitive skin but whenever I'm like "well have you tried implant grade titanium" they're always like "no....... but I've tried sterling silver... and it didn't work ..." like. I don't know how this narrative about sterling silver somehow got so strong but when they put pins in your fucking legs when you snap your leg in half are those pins made of sterling silver or are they made of implant grade titanium or surgical steel????????? HELLO. HI. YOU MIGHT BENEFIT FROM TRYING IMPLANT GRADE TITANIUM I AM JUST SAYING

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.
