reblog for something very lgbt to happen to you on nov 5th
I would like to also make the point the the orcs in Lord of the Rings (practical effects) aged significantly better than the ones in the hobbit (cgi)
Marvel movies have completely eliminated the concept of practical effects from the movie-watching public’s consciousness

Yk, it doesn't seem like anyone is leaving reviews about disliking the assistants. If the smaller browsers are targeted with one star reviews asking to remove the assistants, the idea would probably catch on enough to be able to even get Google's removed.

you guys are so annoying. why do i have to see discourse every year that's like "was tolkien really a woke king or was he your conservative uncle?" the guy was a devout catholic and a genteel misogynist who maintained lifelong friendships with queer people and women, and this isn't even paradoxical because that was part of the upper-class oxford culture he was immersed in. tolkien told the nazis to fuck off (and in doing so demonstrated a real understanding of what racism is and why it's harmful, beyond simply "these guys are bad news because they're who my country is at war with right now") but his inner life was marked by internalized racism that is deeply and inextricably woven into the art that he made. he foolishly described himself as an anarcho-monarchist, and it's kind of crazy to see people on this website passionately arguing that he likely never meaningfully engaged with anarchist theory, because...yeah, no shit, of course he didn't. tolkien didn't have to engage with most sociopolitical theory because as an upper-class englishman of his position, he was never affected by any of the issues that this theory is concerned with. what is plainly obvious from reading both his fiction and letters is that tolkien's ideal political system was that the divinely ordained god-king would rise up and rule in perfect justice and humility; he didn't want a government, he wanted a king arthur, even though (obviously) he was aware that outcome was impossible. why is it so hard for people to accept that he was just some guy! his letters aren't a code you have to crack. no amount of arguing or tumblr-level analysis is going to one day reveal a rhetorically airtight internally consistent worldview spanning jrrt's fiction, academic work, and personal writings, thereby "solving" the question of whether he was a woke king or your conservative uncle. his ideology was extremely inconsistent because, at the end of the day, he was just some guy.
Sometimes I think about how hard I want an Over the Garden Wall style adaptation of LOTR. My soul craves it. I want it desperately. Think about it. Animation. Music. Comfort. Despair. Elijah Wood. Do I need to elaborate.

Like damn I have no clue if I'm too clingy and it bothers me so much. I don't even understand why the idea of clingy is bad. Like if someone is clingy to you, they wanna be around you and they love you. Why is that bad? You are coveted. All the clingy person wants is to know you are there or you love them. They want to talk with you and hang out because they love being with you and love knowing you are there. Like I get not liking it if its a jealous clingy that causes your partner to not wanna hang out with your friends or divert so much attention to them that you begin to have issues with school, work, or self care but like. . . Clingy in the sense of the partner wants to be around you within set boundaries? Why is that bad?
I would have followed you to the ends of the earth. To the very fires of Mordor.
