"kill claudio" this, "kill claudio" that. kill leonato. he believed a guy who he'd known for like a week over his literal daughter, joined him in publicly accusing and humiliating her, told her he wished she had never been born, then had the fucking audacity to tell claudio how awful he was for 'killing' hero, when he not only let him do it but encouraged and joined in with him

...gollum dodged a great eagle?

how can one character be both the most competent and incompetent character in lotr

>dodges great eagles and elves and aragorn and who knows what else >walks right into mordor and gets tortured

>finds and retrieves the one ring when sauron couldn't >immediately dies

(I am accepting LOTRO as unassailable canon at least for the purposes of this stupid post)

Hey I keep seeing people say that ty thinks kit is in love with livvy, how do we know that? Did I miss something?

hey! so! the reason why i have been saying this a lot on my blog (and i'm sure others have as well) is because kit and livvy kiss in los and although it isn’t shown in the book bc we don't have ty's pov, cassie actually confirmed that ty does know about the kiss and that he possibly could have even seen it.

here is an ask that cassie replied to in 2019 which confirms this:

-> side note: the fact that the question was whether livvy and kit's kiss will have an relevance in twp and cassie didn't say no is causing me to go fucking nuts

additionally to confirm this tho in qoaad, there is a quote which goes; “don’t worry,” ty said quietly. “we’re going to get her back. i promise.” which i think heavily implies that ty is not only bringing livvy back for himself but also in a way, for kit as well bc he believes him to be in love with her.

i truly think that this will be brought up again in twp and i just know it will be so fucking angsty and emotional and honestly even just thinking about it has me shaking like the drama, the DRAMA.

Real talk I think Cherry Coading and R. Marie should switch evil genius partners for a week and see what happens

I have… lots of thoughts on milsiril and kabru and the commentary on mixed-race family/adoption, in particular white parents with children of color. I think it’s really cool kui incorporated this into the story because lots of (particularly white) people just think adoption is this pure altruistic thing and don’t think about the negative affects it has on kids (again, kids of color) to not have people of their own culture to grow up with.

[illithiddies]

on some level im definitely a little resentful that I can't enjoy astarion in wider casual spaces without it being labeled as some sort of "oh you're one of those astarion girlies obsessed with that fuckable twink" thing, like it's the shallowest preference i could possibly have

and it's such a frustrating mindset especially considering the whole reason I ended up identifying with him so much is because of the way his character arc addressed the concept of being seen as desirable after a traumatic event, and finding comfort in actually reclaiming that for yourself. And how seeking and enjoying sex and feeling sexually confident doesn't cheapen or invalidate what happened to you, and can actually be very healing

But I just hate how that always gets broken down into something insulting and derogatory by the kind of ppl you'll see on twitter or reddit or irl

[teddybeartoji]

toji is such a sucker for a partner who handles shotguns like they're nothing

YEAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! he'd find that sooooso hot omfgg... i don't think he'd really want to admit it but he'd absolutely love if you're just overall like a better shot than him too lmao he loves baddies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[valiant-portabella-pirkko]

coming to the conclusion that the venn diagram of 'rats Ruju would have picked on in college' and 'rats that Ruju probably had some degree of a crush on' is a circle has somehow made this man even more of a ridiculous soggy wet rat than he already was, and I genuinely did not think that was possible! but here we are!!

Your family have something precious.

Someone comes and kills your family and steals your family’s precious thing.

You try to get it back but you can’t they are too powerful

Then someone else comes and beats the bad guy and takes the precious thing.

But they will not give it back to you.

Their argument is they did all the hard work. They risked their lives. They lost their friends and family to fight Evil while you tried but failed.

Surely they deserve a little piece of rewards?

Also, they said you do not own that precious thing to begin with. That thing is too good and must be shared with everyone for maximum benefit.

But you grew up with that precious thing in your home and lost your family over that thing and you want to keep it. You dead family will want to have it back.

Of course your family did not make that thing out of air. But your family were the ones to reshape it on so something fascinating, something precious.

You want your family’s precious thing back, and those heroes of the stories ignore your pleads.

Your probably think this is about Silmarils.

But this is also how a lot of Sindar elves think about their lost lands.

—————

Imagine you are a Sindar elf that goes back to where your hometown was after the Long Piece started.

Noldor has built a new city in their own style over the ruin of your home

And they welcome you to stay offering citizenship like they are the owner of the land

They imposed new laws, that are different with laws of you people, and they called their laws advanced and right

If you don’t like the laws, you have the “freedom” to leave. They built this place, after all.

You look at that hill over there. You know the name of that hill. Your father brought you there on your begetting days and planted trees.

Your father was abducted by orcs when the Constrainer came from the west. You don’t know if he is alive or not and you don’t know which is the kinder fate.

Now the trees are gone and there are Noldor houses over the hill, and they gave the hill a new name you do not like.

You want to ask if the trees were burnt in the war, or cut down to make places for the house. You kept your questions to yourself.

They came to fight the dark enemy and they brought back your lost homeland. They do not deserve that hostility.

So you live at their city, learn their language, follow their laws, and in your head you call that hill by its old name.

Then one day the words reached you, and you lost it, you went to your Noldor neighbors to ask is that true is that true you came on ships stained by blood of my own people across the sea

They did not look at your eyes, and you know the rumor is true.

But they had no problem looking at your eyes before. They only show guilt after you find out their crimes

You followed their laws.

But what laws did they follow killing your family to steal their ships?

Had circumstances been difficult, would they kill you to steal your land?

But you will not know. You will not afford to find out.

I just read a story on twitter from a guy in our country that worked on ChatGPT to make the bot talk to thousands of girls and then enter a relationship and propose to one of them who he found the most compatible. The guy has briefly read the summaries of messages and now is happily married to a girl and bragging about his cool bot i might actually throw up dystopian novels are fun to read but can we like tone down the creepy bullshit news every day?
