I am. I am ready.

Oh, damn, I underwent this shit because I disagreed with someone, arguing Bruce Wayne shouldn't be depicted as an alpha, but an omega in superbat omegaverse fics because there was nothing keeping the big scary bat from going into heats but our bigoted view of the character (strong, male, overpowering). Nor Clark as an omega because he is more sweet and family-friendly.

I wasn't even into the omegaverse before it, but then I started to see patterns. Omegas are female labelled in this heteronormative fictional society because they are, one, down the biological-social hierarchy and, two, responsible for the reproduction of the kind.

Quoting this paper I read, “This power relationship is even true of homosexual relations between males, where the dominating male in power is seen as honorable and not immoral because he penetrates the submissive male, generally an adolescent boy ‘who existed in a transitional state between man and woman’”. In omegaverse stories, the omega is always depicted as the “adolescent” (slender, weaker, in need of protection of the adult, the alpha).

Quoting the same paper, “‘Adult men,’ Trumbach posits, ‘were deemed effeminate only when they allowed themselves to be sexually penetrated [...] This image of an adult male who does not act in the way an adult male should act, but instead acts as a woman should by submitting and allowing anal penetration creates a friction in masculine representation.”

The fact that people, and queer people, carried this notion into fiction actually bothers me lol.

i think we can study the omegaverse and how different secondary genders affect the physical portrayal of the character to better understand how heteronormativity affects our society but no one is ready for that conversation yet are we.

Yes, your worldbuilding is thorough, your geography meticulous, your plotting elaborate, and your characterisation nuanced, but answer me this: is there a fucked up little guy?

Morgoth. Right before Ungoliant attacks him. A single, doomed “fuck”, then the scene cuts and we see a far landscape followed by a painful AAAAAAAAAAAA.

I’ve seen this for LotR, but if there could be a single, solitary “fuck” specficially in The Silmarillion, who gets it and when do they say it?

Regular xyz fans: I use xyz to escape reality.

Silmarillion fans: I use reality to escape the Silmarillion.

I'm happy that very funny post is the top comment on the Truthwatcher video

Whenever Maglor sings for Elrond and Elros, he quite literally has a captive audience. 🙃

I think Dior deserves a beard and almost completely round ears. Just some real human vibes coming off this guy if you ask me. Iconic how he told the Feanorians to fuck off (king shit) and forgot that the girdle was gone (less king shit).

Side bar, I think it would be very much the vibe if he wore golden ear caps sometimes for appearing more elven purposes. also I am so unwell about the Nauglamir getting the silmarillion glued into it.

Angry Sindar holding ages old grudges is so beautiful to me.

Maedhros fifty years later to Fingolfin: please, take the crown— TAKE THE CROWN!

“A king is he that can hold his own, or else his title is vain”, yes, Maedhros?

I mean, Thranduil is from Doriath and the iathrim called themselves the Forgotten. And his father wanted to live like the Quendi lived before the Valar interference.

Thranduil’s prejudice against dwarves: boring, overused, stale

Thranduil’s prejudice towards the Noldor: delicious, much more narratively interesting, has actual textual evidence to support it

Galadriel in Doriath: It's always “I can fix him” this, “I can fix him” that, but what about—

*Celeborn waves at her from the forest*

Galadriel: He can fix me.

Willas Tyrell to me is based on Lorenzo de Medici. Both were said to be fond of hawking and animal breeding, both were called “homely” — Lorenzo because he wasn't handsome and Willas because apparently he is very pious. Actually, he [Willas] and Garlan are both Lorenzo and Giuliano. Giuliano was said to be Lorenzo's co-ruler, and I think Garlan works the same way with Willas, being his brother's strong hand. That being said, Loras is only Giuliano.

Margaery is Bianca, both are married to an enemy — Margaery to Tommen, who is a Lannister, and Bianca to a Pazzi. Cersei plans to kill Margaery and the Pazzi Conspiracy are the same. I do think this will happen in the books as it happened in the show. Loras and Margaery will die in the Septo the same way Giuliano died in the Cathedral. This will end the connection between Lannister and Tyrell, making Willas free to join Queen Daenerys and take revenge on the Lannister (if Euron don't kill him first).

Besides, House Tyrell amongst the Great Houses (except House Baratheon) is the only that were never kings, the same way the Medici were bourgeois and not nobles. So it all makes sense to me.
