I’m at work and I’m about to cry because Legolas isn’t real.
Like, I know he’s fictional but I saw a post (i think I reblogged it) of what could’ve been his instagram and I started to tear up. I’ve been sitting on the edge of crying over him for about 10 or 15 minutes now
Help
exasperated? stressed? 2020 getting to you?
lay down, close your eyes, and listen to Concerning Hobbits from the first Lord of the Rings soundtrack
Edoras, mid-morning, Boromir’s horse lamed itself and he was directed to the capital by a kind Lord Éomer who said, ‘Tell my uncle’s adviser, Gríma, I bid him give you a new horse. I’m sure he’ll be happy to oblige,’ before he farewelled with a sharp, if somewhat gleeful, laugh.
Eomer out here shit disturbing. Boromir is confused. Grima is like, ‘Ignore my king’s feckless nephew. He’s an absolute menace.’ Boromir is further confused.
Boromir: there’s a lot going on here and I am not getting involved.
Aragorn: But babe I brought popcorn.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

Recently I’ve been listening to The Magnus Archives (podcast) and also getting back into my Silmarillion obsession with an Angbang fic so of course, the best thing to do is a crossover type thing. TMA spoilers from here on, but minor ones!
Within TMA, there are 14 (or dubiously 15) fear entities–that is to say, supernatural forces which are and cause fear, including claustrophobia, fear of heights, etc. There are also, within the podcast, avatars–humans who cause fear and gain powers. And, using this system, it’s possible to sort of articulate what a character inflicts upon others or is like at their worst (which fear they would be an avatar for) as well as what they fear the most (which fear they would be eaten by).
This post is going to focus on Mairon and Melkor. More under the cut.
I wish that they had not cut out the major combat scene where Éowyn and Merry are fighting. She was a beast and honestly, Merry got some great hits in.
a thing that will forever amuse me is the movie fandom’s depiction of the relationship between gandalf and pippin. like “haha old man is annoyed by younger man” is funny on its own but what most of them don’t know is:
gandalf is an entity, an angelic being taking up human form who is older than time itself. pippin ‘i exist to spite god’ took is like 17. this is a teenager constantly fucking up an ancient being.
pippin is the biggest minor inconvenience in gandalf’s life.
This is me now. This is what I’ve become.
Blame @shadow13dickpistons This is all her fault.
(But seriously send me fic)
