Anyway If You See This You Have To Reblog And Tag With A Delight From Ur Day -- Even The Littlest Thing

People are so stupid about snakes. If there's a little black racer chilling outside just leave it alone, you don't have to kill it, it's probably dealing with all your pests for you, jesus christ

This just happened to me today… again

Except that it wasn’t even a lyric, it was just a vibe

So plain and simple yet so recognisable and adorable

the night watch and friends

Castle spoilers ahead, in case anyone cares hasn’t watched it all yet

Senator Bracken telling Kate that she should be grateful to him for killing her mom giving her The Tragic BackstoryTM that motivated her & led to all of her current achievements is so Tumblr-writing-prompt-esque… I can’t

All hail deep, eternal friendship and Professor Tolkien who showed us such good examples of it

I think one of the great things about the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit as well is the fact that while historically the most moving relationships in a narrative are usually romantic or familial. The Lord of the Rings is one long treatise in praise of friendship. The nearest relatives in the Fellowship are cousins. The parent-child relationships and the variation of uncle-wards that is Theoden and his sister's children are fraught with dysfunction. If we set aside the periphery relationships like Sam and the Gaffer and Beregond and Bergil there is upheaval in all the parent child relationships.

But friendship now that is wholesome and exemplified in all the races. For men there is Eomer and Boromir and their bonds with Aragorn. Hobbits of course speak for themselves throughout the whole trilogy and the Hobbit. There is mourning for lack of connection between Mirkwood and Lorien for the elves. A yearning for renewed friendship. And of course the standout friendship of them all for its unlikeliness if for no other reason. Legolas and Gimli. A friendship so fast and secure that Legolas cannot consider leaving Middle Earth for his rightful place in the west without bringing Gimli with him. A dwarf. The race that was not meant to be made and certainly no dwarf has ever been even near the undying lands and Legolas knows this.

The fact that friendship can be just as eternal as a marriage vow or the bonds of blood is something that doesn't get a lot of coverage in literature and yet it permeates the life of all the heroes in The Lord of the Rings. From Aragorn to Samwise

I like how in Night Watch Vimes has to face his younger self and has the universal experience of cringing at his younger self but realizes you need to start somewhere. You start out naive and ignorant then life bites you in the ass and you learn, unless you're Vetinari then you've always been cool.

For evidence that Terry Pratchett understood humanity on a deep and fundamental level, look no further than the breed history of Dalmatians, because that shit is straight out of Discworld.

I love how the main characters of the prequel trilogy, the original trilogy, The Clone Wars, and Rebels can be summed up as follows:

A Lasat, a grumpy droid, a smuggler, and -deep breath- Darth Vader's son, Darth Vader's daughter, Darth Vader's droid, the droid Darth Vader built, a Wookiee who saved Darth Vader's padawan, Darth Vader's master, Darth Vader's grandmaster, Darth Vader's padawan, Darth Vader's wife, Darth Vader's favorite clone captain, a Jedi who fought Darth Vader, a rebel pilot whose father fought alongside Darth Vader's master, a Mandalorian whose mother fought alongside Darth Vader's padawan, a padawan who fought Darth Vader and met Darth Vader's master on Darth Vader's home planet, Darth Vader's padawan again, Darth Vader before he was Darth Vader, and Darth Vader 🤣🤣🤣

anakin please im begging you stop causing so much drama and getting so involved in everyone’s drama

Yes! I’m also tired of these jokes. Stop mocking Éowyn, she was just trying to make a nice gesture. It’s not even like she was responsible for feeding everyone and failed, it wasn’t her task or job.

I think my least favorite overused joke in the lotr fandom is the fact that Éowyn can’t cook well. And I don’t even it in the fashion of perpetuating the idea that women should cook, but just like thinking about it logically…. She really never had a need to cook herself before making their way to Helm’s Deep. I mean think about it, she’s royalty, so she hasn’t ever had to cook herself. And say even despite the royal blood that her mom cooked, she died when Éowyn was young so there wasn’t much time for her to learn from her mom. Let my girl live🙏🙏
