Sometimes I Get Sad Thinking About The Changes They Made To Faramir In The Films And The Way That Seems

sometimes i get sad thinking about the changes they made to faramir in the films and the way that seems to have shaped the general fandom perception of his character, but then i remember the sheer power he has in the book and think....maybe it's for the best.

everyone in gondor loves him so much that randos form a crowd and chant his name when he arrives at the city... soldiers weep whilst on duty standing guard when they think he's dying....... he's literally the jewel – the hope – of minas tirith and everyone is obsessed with him... he's THE knight in shining armour... and on top of that he has an unshakable moral code and is so so gentle and tender and loves his sad little histories but he's also a respected leader and war commander and scout and he's fiercely brave and "can tame both man and beast" and he's a tactical smartass and he's a little bitch and he has beautiful long black hair that blows in the wind and he tells his dad that boromir's death is his fault and he kisses eowyn on the walls of minas tirith in the bright sunlight and doesn't give a shit that literally everyone can see them..........like what do you do with that. how do you depict that raw power. the unhinged appeal. the secksiness of character ???

People that are like “climate change is worsening and all of humanity is going to deserve it” should realize how kind of evil and insane of a thing that is to say Like, no actually, the masses of people in the world that are impoverished, homeless, poor and working paycheck to paycheck to survive, plus the masses of indigenous folks, POC, queer and religious minorities trying to survive the trauma of generations of industrialization & colonization DON’T deserve to go extinct over the actions of a few dozen oil executives and an economic system we have no control over, especially when we’re doing all that we can for a safer healthier planet wtf

The lives of 7 billion humans do not deserve extinction over the actions of very few oil companies destroying the planet, don’t say shit like that.

seasonal aesthetics

winter: soft sweaters, twinkling lights, waking up to a fresh blanket of snow outside your window, vinyl records with all your favorite songs, sipping hot cocoa by the fire, plaid scarves, red bows on every lamp post

spring: a cottage garden in full bloom, bare feet, homemade jam, a bouquet of wildflowers in a jar, wicker baskets full of farmer’s market veggies, white linen curtains, faded floral sundresses, a baby blue bicycle

summer: fresh squeezed lemonade, singing your heart out with the windows rolled down, drive-in movies, jumping in the lake on a hot day, faded denim cutoffs, friendship bracelets, french fries in a brown paper bag

autumn: sweet potato pancakes from your favorite diner, black cats, thrifted flannel shirts, apple cider, the smell of freshly fallen leaves, canoeing on a crisp morning, antique stores, your favorite coffee mug
