Hey, don't cry. At least you're not a zionist

you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.

you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.

you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.

you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.

you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.

you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.

You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.

The #AllLivesMatter degenerates love the two-tier style of justice and complete disregard for children.

Lucanis “It’s not enough.”

Rook “it is and you are.”

These are the most meaningful quotes from the romance lock in scene. Everyone complains that he just made Rook dessert. But this scene shows that Rook UNDERSTANDS Lucanis. (The player may not and that’s fine.) They see his attempt to make the meal for Rook. He is cooking everyone a nice meal as a thanks for the help with my tragic life but he makes Rook a dessert to match their favorite drink. He is trying to point out that Rook is special, that they all helped but it’s really Rook that he feel the need to thank and apologize to “for everything.”

And Rook, who knows his mind and sees straight through him gets it. They call him out and make him put words to the gesture. He tries and laments that the pastry, his words aren’t enough for them. But Rook disagrees. It’s not kisses or love declarations but that’s okay. The gesture is enough for Rook. Lucanis, as he is, is enough for Rook. They don’t push him for more, they don’t need more than Lucanis is willing to give.

For me, this is just a beautiful scene and a beautiful romance. Lucanis has learned about romance from books and he can’t seem to do it right. He tried for the suave wall kiss but couldn’t go through with it. He tried making them dessert but couldn’t bring himself to profess it. And Rook is just going with the flow, letting him set the pace and taking the pressure off of him to try and meet the crazy standards of what romance is that is set by others. I love it so much.

I DONT WANNA PAY BILLS I WANNA USE MY MONEY FOR FOOD AND LIL GIFTS FOR MYSELF AND MY LOVED ONES

Tolkien: I love all the elves equally. I don’t have favorites.

Also Tolkien: …and here’s High King Gil-galad, scion of kings, star of radiance, the noble fire, flame of hair and eye, who rules over one of the largest elven kingdoms, is the only elven king to wield a spear, is likely descended from two of the most powerful Houses, begins one of the most crucial alliances between elves and men, and successfully bears TWO elven rings of power for a time. Yeah and he clocks who Annatar is immediately and defeats Sauron so hard he loses the ability to take physical form for years. Oh and he was so famous and awesome and beloved that even the hobbits sing songs about him. Btw.
