Frodo was always corruptible, otherwise, there would really be no drama and it would not be such a tremendous achievement that he resisted for so long- key word resist. So what is he tempted with? The books don't tell us outright, but there are clues.

He has abandonment issues - parents dying, leaving him nothing but a place in the Brandybuck familial home, where he is largely ignored and left to his own devices (and later Bilbo abandons him too.) This also leaves him feeling unimportant and unloved. Please note he doesn't get adopted by Bilbo until nine years after his parents' deaths. He is obviously a troubled youth or he would not have been stealing mushrooms or wandering at night.

At his coming of age, he is friends with mostly younger hobbits, so he also has no friends during this time and no real support, as Bilbo is scarcely around and his future friends are little kids at the time. So some deep seated issues begin to emerge here. He is lonely and coping through avoidance and escapism- long walks, theft/indulgence, stories, pretend play.

His avoidant attachment style becomes more pronounced after Bilbo's disappearance. He does enjoy his time as master of Bag End, which tells me he is employing very successful coping strategies, but also that something in him is fed and content. He is happy being in control of his life and he doesn't give anyone the chance to leave him again. Sam is his employee at this time and he doesn't let him in a friend until after the journey begins. Merry, Pippin, and Fatty are his best friends, and still he keeps them at arm's length. He is protective of people he loves, but doesn't think himself capable of doing anything for them, so this namely shows up in his willingness to sacrifice himself for their benefit.

Jumping far forward, in the aftermath of the Ring, his biggest fear and anxiety is being shunned and isolated and in his dream, he tries to remedy that with a lofty self important air, and this is really important.

This is his shadow side; self important, needing validation from others, thinking he knows what's best/being too sure of his own judgement, possessiveness over people he loves and wanting to be theirs in turn (codependency,) over indulgence/greed.

After the Ring is gone, having seen intimately all these things in himself, Frodo does a lot of overcorrecting and ends up (in my opinion) reenacting his trauma again through abandoning his friends and main support network in a misguided self sacrifice, since this seems correct and good to him as it is the opposite of the possessive greed he is so adamantly avoiding. In the end, he doesn't grow from his experience, but is set back tremendously and harmed deeply.

🍒 now playing, fast pace (seventeen)

🍒 word count, 1k (1k exactly what the hell) | for @kstrucknet

when you got the call that you would have to go pick your four-year-old daughter up from her kindergarten class, seungcheol would not rest until you had allowed him to drive you there.

"i want to see what she got in trouble for myself." seungcheol had a streak when it came to his daughter, mi-cheol (she did have part of his name, after all). he could never seem to believe that his daughter would do no wrong, and even when you had told him that she had gotten in trouble, he had asked you "are you being serious?" about seven times before you had broken down and shown him the message.

and so, here you were, sitting in the kindergarten lobby as the two of you waited to retrieve mi-cheol.

seungcheol sat in the chair beside you, glancing down at his watch as he grumbled something under his breath. as a businessman (and a slightly overdramatic father), seungcheol loved when things were speedy, especially when concerning his oh-so-lovable daughter.

seungcheol tapped his dress shoe impatiently on the tile, long eyelashes brushing against his eyebrows as he glared at the constantly ticking clock. sensing his impatience, you place a soft hand on his arm, side-eyeing him as he sighs.

"please, cheol. patience." you sounded like you were talking to a disobedient child—and you were, in a way. seungcheol was just like mi-cheol in that aspect—they couldn't listen to someone for the life of them.

as soon as the thought of your doe-eyed, pouty-lipped baby girl crossed your mind, out she came, backpack in tow as she grinned at you.

"daddy!" mi-cheol runs right past you and immediately clings onto seungcheol's dress pants leg. the smile that breaks on seungcheol's stern features is only one mi-cheol can bring out, and he reaches down quickly, swiftly swooping the four-year-old in his arms as he gives you one last glance before heading to the car.

apologizing on mi-cheol's behalf and signing her out, you follow the two shortly, getting in the passenger's side of the car as you grab the tail end of seungcheol and mi-cheol's conversation.

"so, what did she do?" you ask, knowing good and well it may not be a good idea to hear the story from seungcheol. luckily, mi-cheol steps up to the plate herself, clearing her throat after taking a few sips from her juice cup.

"a boy called me cute, so i slapped him in the face." the sentence is simple, but so absurd at the same time that you can't help but burst into laughter.

seungcheol, on the other hand, is absolutely seething. his eyes are dark as soon as he hears the words 'boy' and 'cute', and you can see him jumping to all sorts of conclusions in his head. his grip on the steering wheel is tight, and he's blankly staring at the road, probably fighting back a profanity or two.

seungcheol was overprotective, everyone knew that—he held both you and mi-cheol to a very high standard, and therefore watched the two of you with a hawkeye. he never let boys near mi-cheol, and lord forbid a guy would try to hit on you—he would let them know their place, quickly too.

"a boy?" seungcheol asks softly (too softly for your liking), and you can see mi-cheol nodding from her booster seat, cup in hand as she lets out a little scoff. "i am not cute."

"oh, baby. you are cute—you just...you don't want a boy telling you that, do you?" you question, and mi-cheol nods, an overdramatic pout similar to her father's adorning her face.

"yeah. the only boy i want to call me cute is daddy." mi-cheol makes a sound that you think may be similar to 'yuck', although it doesn't sound like that in the slightest.

seungcheol’s hard exterior is broken by that sentence in an instant, and he’s smiling from ear to ear in the cutest way possible, nodding as he looks back at his daughter with nothing but pure fondness.

“good girl, mimi.” seungcheol encourages mi-cheol with a proud grin on his face, and you sigh, knowing this would happen—of course seungcheol would say nothing about how his daughter’s actions were wrong.

if anything, he was overjoyed that she realized the rules seungcheol had set in place before she was even born—”boys are a no-no.”

“seungcheol.” you whisper, glaring at him as he catches your gaze. reading the disapproval in your eyes, seungcheol bites back an eye roll before sighing, biting his full lips as he returns to the hard exterior mi-cheol had broken with her confession.

“mimi, sweet baby girl—you shouldn’t handle things like that with violence, okay?. if a boy calls you cute and you don’t like it, tell it to him. don’t let him get away with it, of course, but don’t slap or hit him, okay? will you remember that for daddy?” you can tell it pains seungcheol to give this speech to his sweet little mi-cheol, watching the way his thick eyebrows twitch when he says the words ‘boy’ and ‘cute’.

“okay, daddy. i’ll remember it.” mi-cheol holds a thumbs-up to seungcheol, and he nods, giving her a small smile as he pulls up at a red light. proud of your husband for holding back his overprotective nature, you kiss his ring finger, warm lips ghosting the cool metal wedding band on his finger.

it makes seungcheol chuckle lowly to himself, reveling in your love as he smiles at you, glancing back at his mini-me (who’s currently eating a bowl of cherries).

"you owe me for this, sweetheart." seungcheol whispers, voice laced with a low, suggestive tone as he studies your face darkly. chuckling, you throw your head back, letting it hit the headrest as your hands rest on seungcheol's forearm.

"name your price, cheol. i'll give it to you," you add teasingly, and with the look and smile seungcheol gives you at your words, you already have an idea of what that could possibly be.

being a Zelda fan is like "yeah Nintendo i KNOW what you WANT me to take away from the material. I certainly get what you were trying to say, but I think its a little stupid so I'm going to find a better interpretation"

gob forbids a character goes through grief falls into depression and then reacts badly after some random people came to him telling him his daughter's soul is alive and was put into an animatronic body, the random people being robots and including the killer of his daughter in his eyes and comprehension, that apparently is now her adoptive dad just because he can, and even better they're all taking her away from him (he has no idea how much away they're taking her) and gets treated like the scum of earth for falling intro depression and addictions after losing his beloved daughter, god forbids he wants revenge and god forbids he's in a terrible mental state, cause surely no human would ever get mad and desperate for their kid dying and coming back and then taken away by the killer himself

surely

That one time a pose study (looking at art of pretty women and telling myself I was being productive) turned into Portia

[x-reader-things]

So what if-

Modern AU! Ekko x reader-

Where they accidentally get married in a trip to Vegas [no drinking involved bc they are simply dumb and probably exhausted teenagers - specifically 19 bc I am 19 and I’m pretty sure Ekko is too, canonically], thinking it was fake to a degree and not exactly legally binding bc people get drunk and married randomly like half the time there-

And then like months later smth happens and one texts the other like ;

“So remember that trip to Vegas??”

“Yeah”

“When we got married in that weird ass church thing above the casino when we were bored?”

“Yeah??”

“[picture of legal document citing marriage certificate or something]”

“BROO”

And then they, and honestly probably a few other members of the group like, maybe Jayce and Viktor and Vi and Jinx?? Oh and maybe Scar and another Firelights member too [idk it’s not set in stone yet bare w / me here] - make a road trip out of it bc why not they’re all on break-

And also just to get that marriage annulled-

And then ofc as all fanfics go shenanigans ensue-

Would any of you be opposed to that idea?? 👁👁???

ngl I've been increasingly struggling with the use of feminizing language and "but make them women" stuff in my main fandoms, all of which are about queer Asian men. It's always bothered me but I feel like it's bothering me even more now, and I'm not sure if that's because it's become more prevalent or if I'm getting more sensitive to it. I just can't help but want to point out, like...

1. If yall want women and lesbians... you know there are fandoms... with women and lesbians... right? Women and lesbians are great! I'm begging you to go read stories that actually are about them.

2. Like seriously if you want stories about women why are you in the gay guy bl fandom

3. White fans please unpack why you think that lithe Asian gay man needs to be a woman, needs to be pregnant, why you are calling him breedable, or babygirl, or malewife. Like I am begging people who do this to spend five minutes considering why they do, why you think it's okay, why it's maybe different than saying even the same things about white people, like yall just collectively forgetting decades of racist feminizing language weaponized against Asian men.

I'm not saying anything I haven't said before but it's just been really A Lot recently if I have to see one more post about any MXTX character needing to be a breedable malewife maid I'm going to scream.

Note: this is NOT about trans head canons or trans stuff. I love trans masc and trans fem stuff. Don't stop.

(Disclaimer: I am also white.)

Also note like... this isn't about any specific fan having a preference. People like mpreg. People like gender swaps. That's great! I support an individual's preferences! But just because behavior is okay on an individual level, that doesn't mean it doesn't start to get a little awkward at a collective fandom level. And idk, it's hard to divorce my personal discomfort with some of these things from an assessment of if it's actually ~a problem~ so maybe I'm just not recognizing my own issues here, but... yeah. I keep starting to write more then deleting it so I guess I'll shut up now.

Wait do people actually think the ending of ii 17 is bad? Guys not only is it not the finale but erm... I like it. I actually really like it. Sure it's tragic and anticlimactic but that doesn't make it bad. To me. If this is the end of ii (which honestly I doubt) I think it's a solid ending. It doesn't feel unfinished or rushed or anything. Just cause something is open ended doesn't mean it's bad. I like that it's tragic. I like that I felt my stomach drop when the credits started rolling. Oh waiter more internal agony please ‼️‼️
