i have to admit that i used to be one of those people who hated frodo because he was 'weak'. but then as i got older, i started struggling with my mental health. i started to feel tired all the time and even tiny little problems felt huge and insurmountable. frodo wasn't weak for needing sam's help or for pushing sam away. he wasn't even weak for being unable to throw the ring into mount doom. frodo had been pushed to his limits. he tried so hard, but in the end, he wasn't good enough. but that's the point. nobody could have been good enough. nobody would have had the strength to throw the ring into the fire intentionally. frodo probably couldn't have done it even if he hadn't been pushed to his limits. and neither could i. the quest to destroy the ring was cruel, because it required frodo to sacrifice everything, including himself. and he pushed himself so hard, even as the ring ate away at him, even as gollum tricked him into distrusting sam. frodo was brave even as the ring clouded away everything that was good and beautiful - he didn't even remember the taste of strawberries. but he still kept trying until he couldn't anymore. i think that frodo's story terrifies me a little, because what if i am also not strong enough to keep going? what happens if nobody is there to save me? and even though frodo lived, he could never be the same again. all i want is to be the person that i used to be. i know that i never will be that person again.
anyway, frodo - i'm so sorry for ever thinking that you were weak when that was a thing you never were. and thank you tolkien for this character who is so strong in a way that our heroes are rarely portrayed as.
But would they be sworn to carry my burdens?
New H3 idea:
When you go to the base (or whatever it is called in the future), you can choose one of the other characters there to come with you as you travel the overworld, like a partner in crime (or a meat shield)
I love lego horizon’s silly outfits. We should add them to the original games so we can absolutely ruin serious plot moments like this 🍌
Happy birthday, Deltarune. As a celebration, I wanted to send a meme I made.
If you know Doctor Who series 3 and Life on Mars, you might get it:
Here come the drums, drums!
Is he [[living in a goddamn garbage can]], [[50% off]] his mind, or has he [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]]?
I am solitary lights in an empty city.
I'm going to say this as kindly as I can, but it's already gone too far. For at least the past week--since filming on GO 3 started, but even before then--there has been a nonstop demand for hair dye pics from fans. In particular, I have seen comments on Georgia and Anna's dedicated posts on Insta over and over harassing them about hair dye pictures. (This is not even including comments on stories, which we can't see publicly unless they share them, and how many of those likely involve requests for hair dye pictures.)
All of this in the wake of the Vulture article being published, and the sudden disappearance of discourse around Neil's actions in tandem with a resurgence of discourse around GO 3 filming. And what I have not seen is any consideration or discussion of how this could be affecting Georgia and Anna. They knew Neil, albeit in a different capacity than David and Michael. They worked with Neil on that Dream of a Thousand Cats bonus episode of Sandman, and had at least a professional relationship with him. Yet everyone expects them to jump enthusiastically into GO 3, regardless of whether they've had time to process or grieve, or how they might actually feel about the show themselves.
I genuinely do not think that Georgia or Anna are "teasing" the fans or "playing" with us, at least not in the way people seem to think. I think they are fed up at this point (and rightfully so) and truly don't care if fans are upset about not having hair dye pictures. And I think the difficulty that some fans have with seeing this stems from an inability to see Georgia and Anna as individuals/judge them by their own actions, but instead as extensions of David and Michael. All four of these people might (and likely do) have vastly different feelings about Good Omens/this entire situation, and this behavior from the fandom has a good chance of making Georgia and Anna resent the show and the fans more than anything else.
When it comes down to it--and as difficult as it might be to accept--we are just not going to get the behind the scenes tidbits or posts that we got for the first two seasons. The circumstances now are much more complex, and there are many more reasons for everyone involved to stay quiet/on the down low regarding production--especially given that legally speaking, there are likely major restrictions on what can/can't be shared on social media. And if/when the day comes that something can be shared, hopefully it will be from the guys themselves, when they are ready and able to do so. Until then, and unless the goal is to make them stop engaging with the fandom for good, let's please leave Georgia and Anna alone...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Daleks aren't all that different. They just happened to become mutants in dustbin-shaped tanks instead of replacing their bodies with prosthetics.
Either way, it's an otherwise incapable life form trapped inside a cold metal life support unit that suppresses every desire that might obstruct the will to dominate and expand, engineered to survive any environmental hazard and most ballistic weapons.
The Master seems to like cybermen in New Who. Genuinely, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't responsible for Mondas at this point.
New Who absolutely committed to the bit that if you leave a humanoid civilization long enough, they will eventually reinvent the cybermen
It's so nice to see him like this, just a little guy.
It'd be a shame if he wasn't pure enough.
You did a great job.
Baby from somewhere between Innocence and Purity🤲
Thank you to everyone who got me to 250 likes!
I can hardly believe that a combination of low effort shitposts and mid quality art could get me so far.
Then again, that's the power of...
