Before James busted his ass and after James busted his ass
truly can’t get over how much everybody dunked on tumblr for banning porn and yet in 2022 this is the last bastion of social media sites where you are allowed to say tits without being blasted into space

GUYS GUYS GUYS SOMETHING AMAZING JUST HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A “lost” Lord of the Rings adaptation has just been found and put back up on Youtube!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/05/soviet-tv-version-lord-of-the-rings-rediscovered-after-30-years
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vquKyNdgH3s
It’s a Russian Teleplay adaptation of Lord of the Rings with absolutely Perfect special effects (the hobbits are the size of rabbits!)
This adaptation PREDATES the obscure Finnish minsieries adaptation by two years!! (check out my #hobitit and #hobitit hot takes tag if you don’t know what I’m talking about!)
If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I LOVE baffling obscure Lord of the Rings adaptations so much but I’d never even heard of this one!!!!?? How have I never heard of it??
I guess that makes this the *actual* first live-action adaptation of Lord of the Rings?? (Unless there’s yet another even MORE secret obscure adaptation I don’t know about?)
All this time I thought Hobitit was the first live-action adaptation of Lord of the Rings but it wasn’t!!!!??????? My entire world is upside-down…..the world has changed, I feel it in the earth, I feel it in the water, I smell it in the air………this is big news…..I can’t wait til I have time to watch it. I guess I’ll have to learn Russian though since there don’t seem to be English subtitles yet XD
“The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keep out the joy”
-Jim Rohn
Theo “I adore you with every fibre of my being. I would give everything for you. Every penny I have the shirt off my back the shoes off my feet, everything I have I would give just to see you smile. I love you like I have never loved anything or anyone, which is why I cannot marry you, I cannot lock you in to a life of poverty, a life of fear and doubt. You deserve to have everything you’ve ever dreamed of everything you’ve ever wanted. You deserve to live a life of comfort, free from worry about where your next meal is coming from, or how you’re going to afford this months rent. And when your health fails you, in the hardest hours of your life, you deserve a doctor by your side. I can’t give you that life, miss Eloise, so you should go, now. Go and find someone who can, a gentleman who can allow you to live the life you want in comfort and peace. And I will love you, silently from the sidelines. I will watch you walk to your love on your wedding day, and tell everyone that asks that the tears I shed are those of joy.” Sharpe

Eloise “perhaps you are right. Perhaps I do deserve better than this life, but doesn’t everyone? Why am I so special and different that I deserve more than everyone else, no. I may deserve a better life than the one you can give but I do not want it. I am a woman, Theo. You know as well as I do that there are a very limited number of decisions I get to make for myself in my life. Who I marry, where I choose to begin this part of my life, the person I choose to have by my side until the day I die is one of the ONLY decisions I get to make. One of the ONLY decisions I get the final say in and I’ll be damned if I allow you to take that choice away from me. You may think I deserve better but I do not want better. I want you. I want this life. Because I would rather struggle through with you than live a comfortable life in a big house with some gentleman, and on my deathbed realise I have never truly lived, never truly loved. I deserve to die without regrets, with the man I love by my side, so I do not care if you think I deserve better Theo, because you are what I want. I deserve the life that I want. Please do not deny me that. I love you Theo. And I will never marry anyone else so I suggest you meet me here in agreement, so we can finally begin building the life we both deserve.” Bridgerton
