Tolkien: “Sauron was a victim of Morgoth’s corruption who, then, got high on power trips. When his master was defeated, he truly regretted everything that he has done, but was too proudful to return to Aman in humiliation and face the judgement of the Valar. He wanted to heal Middle-earth and create perfect order and harmony between its people but his bounds to Morgoth were too strong, and he fall back into evil (= became a tyrannical dictator). BTW, Gandalf with the One ring would have been far worse than Sauron himself.”
Dudebros: “Sauron is the Satan of Tolkien lore!”
Tolkien: “Galadriel is a proudful and power-hungry elf princess with a “Amazonian disposition” who wanted her own kingdom on Middle-earth. She rebelled against the Valar, and got banished from Valinor for it. Her character arc in “Lord of the Rings” is that of a “repentant sinner”. She’s only pardoned and allowed to return to Valinor after she resists Frodo’s offering her the One ring on the Third Age.”
Dudebros: “Galadriel is the Virgin Mary of Tolkien lore!”
“You are shipping Satan with the Virgin Mary, you blasphemous heretics!” No, we are not.
You really should stop calling these idiots “lorebros” because the “lore” isn’t in the room with us.
u know what actually, thank god you’re all still into dead war vets who are allegedly fucking. it’s an honor rpf-ing a 23 year old show made for dads and uncles who salute the flag unironically.
tom hanks we are in ur walls cornplating this show, wringing it down and screencapping to its last blurred pixel of a minor background character featured in a nondescript scene you’ve already forgotten you’ve filmed. every government website or sketchy war museum will become an unwilling collaborator to rpf. we are making every single soldier in this regiment kiss in half-destroyed billets, and give each other chaffing, shitty handjobs in a bastogne foxhole. no ground is sacred. every theater of war is fair play. no man will be spared from romance of debilitating degrees
Devastating news today. Sorry to have to post these drawings in these circumstances 🥺

How do you drag Batman out of a deep magical mind control? Apparently YOU FAKE MURDER HIS BABY BOY IN FRONT OF HIM, like I am winning at the comics I'm reading but AT WHAT COST, Christ on a fucking cracker.
"Part of [creating the Obi-Wan Kenobi series] was interfacing with George. Early on, there was a conversation had with George over his thoughts were, and whether or not honestly he would balk at the whole concept of 'we're taking Obi-Wan and Vader again and we're doing this [storyline]'. And he was a hundred percent supportive. And I've heard tell that it's been one of his favorite things that's come out of Star Wars, because he recognizes so much of what he did in the prequels basically brought forward and celebrated." --Pablo Hidalgo, Full of Sith podcast #VINDICAAAAAATIOOOOONNNN #THE OBI-WAN KENOBI SERIES NAILED BEING AN EXTENSION OF THE PREQUELS #FROM THE AESTHETIC DETAILS OF FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY TO THE THEMES OF THESE CHARACTERS #THAT SHOW UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT #AND I'M GOING TO STAPLE THIS TO EVERYONE'S DOOR OUT OF SHEER GLEE THAT GEORGE LUCAS AGREES

I couldn't resist a redraw (paint?) of this frame from Light Fades To Rain, such a hauntingly beautiful scene that I know will stick with many for a long time.
Apart from digital colour correction, this was done completely with watercolour and gouache paints🥰
