Concerning Hobbits
↳ Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Extended Edition
This sequence just goes to show that Sam is the hottest person in the Shire
SHREK 2 (2004)
I’m only just realizing thst the “Catnip” is likely planted. Look st the movement of the cops hand in the second gif. Looks more like he’s passing it from hand to hand
In the second gifset you can even see the bag underneath the armour so yeah its v much planted
Years ago I saw a Lord of the Rings display at Barnes and Noble that included a Hallmark-style greeting card with Frodo on the front and inside text that read: “We set out to save the Shire, Sam. And it has been saved. But not for me.”
And I have been thinking about that card ever since, desperately wishing I had bought it, and wondering what the fuck kind of occasion would warrant a card featuring that sentiment.

They’re also shooting for 100% renewable plastic sources by 2030! All of the soft plant/leaf elements in sets right now and going forward are made out of bioplastic made from sugarcane, and they’re working on getting the regular hard plastic bricks out of that, too.
They’ve done it, actually! The full bricks are in the prototype stage now, and are expected to be 100% biodegradable without the need for a commercial compost facility. It’s very cool. Right now they’re testing the durability and playability of the bricks and seeing what needs to be revised/reworked on their final model.
Hi, I'm 25 and debating starting male-to-female HRT. However, I'm scared that HRT won't help me at all. It seems like HRT does so little after puberty, especially by the time one gets in their 20s. I'm really scared that I'll just end up being someone in a male body, but with breasts. Is there anything you can say to someone having this fear? Thank you, and sorry, I suspect this is a silly question.
Actually, the claim that HRT doesn’t do much after puberty is a myth. I started when I was 31 years old and now I’m 35. =)
It’s never too late to transition!
Yeah, anon, have you seen my timeline? I started at 29.
It’s never too late.
Seriously, I transitioned at 39 and I’m 41 now. Hormones are magic whatever your age and while some things stay, many things change and it’s been totally worth it for me.
OMG!!! I love seeing posts like this. The hope it inspires. especially in girls like me, is unprecedented. Thank you!
Hope
I felt the same way before I started transitioning and especially because I have a fair masculine build. But you know what I’ve learned from my experience so far? Fuck it! There is always hope and you could end up surprising yourself with the results.
I think results vary, I don’t see much difference between pre-hrt and 8 years on hrt
Just adding another voice to the barrage: It. Is. Never. Too. Late!
The top two pictures are from 2011, age 32. The bottom three are from this yeah, 2016, age 37, and (almost) 2 years on hrt. Hrt is magic.
Never.
Too late.
REBLOGING!!! Always! Forever!
Reblog to help someone find the courage uwu
Always reblog
Look at these amazing and brave women!!!! A reminder to all my followers, it’s not too late!! You can do it!!!!!
This is what I needed to see in my day ☺️ I’m only 23 but I think about making this change on a daily basis and it’s been 3 years since I’ve been thinking that. Hrt is in my future (:
Look at all these gorgeous women! <3
THIS is what i needed to be able to send to my struggling trans friends
I needed this
<3 Never too late <3
so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
The full picture is even more heart breaking after you open the uncropped version. Just a heads-up, it's rough

Nah let’s post it. Let’s feel it. Don’t look away.
I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.
Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.
Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.
Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.
They were CHILDREN.
They were murdered in cold blood.
Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.
I know this is a funny post but
There are a few major points in Country Music’s history that got the entire genre labeled as ‘annoying’
Post 9/11 nationalism
A term that I couldn’t make up “Bro-Country” which intensifies themes of booze, objectifying women, and partying that were present in past decades but not to such an extent
This is Gospel Music But With an Accent
Now looking at the songs op listed there is
A woman pleading to another woman
A woman wrecking a shitheads life
A guy loving the scenery of where he lived
A song that could easily be mistaken for a number of other genres
But it is easier to say that one hates country while privately enjoying select songs than explain why one doesn’t like the current market oversaturated with our nation’s problems of nationalism, sexism, and so on
see also jhonny cash/willie nelson era songs which were deeply emotional stories often about painful and deep subjects. prison, loss of loved ones, hard labor, facing despair, passion. ‘ghost riders in the sky’ and the like are also deeply satisfying as they bridge more into folklore then ‘murica fuck yeah im sponsored by bud light yall’ another example- ‘midnight in montgomery’ where hank williams junior sings about the ghost of his father
“ … And felt the wind die down, And a drunk man in a cowboy hat, Took me by surprise, Wearin’ shiny boots, a nudie suit, and haunted, haunted eyes, He said: “Friend, it’s good to see you, It’s nice to know you care” Then the wind picked up and he was gone, Was he ever really there? ‘Cause when the wind is right, You’ll hear his song, Smell whisky in the air, Midnight in Montgomery, He’s always singin’ there, “ the reason we ‘hate country’ is because we know its supposed to have FEELING and its infuriatingly absent now
70s country - bluegrass traditional
80s country - power ballads
90s country - pop crossover
00s country - white supremacy
I have never reblogged something so fast in my life
it’s exactly what you think it is
it’s exactly what I thought it was.
It has been, 500 years.
THIS IS MY JAM
TELL ME WHERE IS GANDALF
Friendly reminder that tomorrow is the first day of pride month and if I see any biphobia, I will throw hands
This includes, but is not limited to:
saying that bisexuality excludes trans/nonbinary people (it doesn't)
saying that bisexuality is too binary (it isn't)
saying that bisexuality is outdated (again, it isn't)
saying/implying that bisexuals only care about gender rather than personality (which is gross and untrue)
derailing conversations on biphobia and its effects
excluding bisexuals from mlm and wlw spaces/discussions
speaking over bisexuals in conversations on the issues we face
refusing to listen to bisexuals if we say something is biphobic
ignoring bisexual history and activism
ignoring the present contributions of bisexuals to LGBTQ culture
making demeaning jokes about bisexuals or jokes that rely on negative stereotypes
stereotyping bisexuals in general
viewing bisexuals as 'half-straight'/'lesser' members of the LGBTQ community
and finally, speaking over bisexuals about the very definition of bisexuality
yes this includes saying things like 'that sounds more like [other sexuality]' or 'if you define your attraction that way you're [other sexuality] instead' in response to a bisexual person describing how they define their orientation for themself
did you ever have that one female character you were obsessed with when you were younger and looking back on it now you realise you were just very gay and didnt know it yet
Yup.
GET THEIR ASS

the worst thing about quidditch is that it robs every scene of an effective and perfect sports dramatic device in TIME LIMITS and that is why it’s obvious that j/k/r is at best a casual sports fan
I gotta go off about Quidditch for one sec.
The skill disparity between a 17 year old dude and a 13 year old kid is so immense it doesn’t make any sense to put them on one team. Looking at it from a perspective of strength alone these teams should just be made up of sixth and seventh years. Or there should be a Varsity and Jr Varsity team (or British equivalent whatever).
And you’re telling me you expect to only have 7 players total? There should be like 10 chasers on each team being subbed in for different plays like in American football. A back up Seeker and Keeper if the starter gets injured. Your seeker gets injured in the game? Okay you got no shot at catching the snitch now. Your Keeper is gone? You’re giving up 100 goals. Makes 0 sense.
This is basic stuff and I will now accept all of this as a part of Quidditch, giving it the dimension it so desperately needs.
don’t mind me, just a writer who has witnessed approximately one Sport Event over here, taking notes…
please cc me on Quidditch discourse I desperately need help 😂😂😂
cc’ing you as requested CH 😂
@mppmaraudergirl i think judging by school football (it is NOT called soccer tyvm america) i am ok with wide age ranges…but reasonable to expect teams to skew older. i know i’ve always written teams that way, with the exception of james. and off the top of my head i can’t recall any named players in the series as young as harry and draco. we can chalk that up to drama. iirc cho is mentioned in POA and fourth year seems reasonable for a seeker (more speed than goal-scoring ability)
the no-subbing thing is truly idiotic though, yup! there are some more weird rules — no one but the keeper can block a shot? what? blocking exists in literally every single goal-based sport!
another senseless thing is the fact that there is only ONE quidditch league in the country. nuh uh, i call bullshit. in our capitalist world tee em there is no WAY business interests would not have led to second- and third-tier teams à la the premier league. and where do young players come from? only hogwarts?? why don’t we hear about more older players wanting to go pro? shouldn’t english quidditch be pretty shit if they have that small a talent pool? does the league get prospects from all across europe? (i’d write it this way)
if i had to restructure quidditch just off the top of my head i’d allow rolling subs like in football, and if not time limits then at least fixed periods of play with breaks in between, so that the teams can switch sides.
also re the business aspect, as it stands quidditch is literally ENTIRELY sudden-death overtime — any team can end the game at any moment by catching the snitch. so… why would i, a fan, be happy about having watched my team lose in 10 seconds after i PAID to watch a proper game? why would i, in team management, be happy to host rowdy fans for days on end in my stadium, all while having to supply refreshments myself? at least the latter can be remedied by magic, but there’s no recourse for the former
in fact, why not release the snitch after two 45-minute periods of play? then the game has to go on for at least 90 minutes, each team gets a chance on each end of the pitch, and it doesn’t feel like goal-scoring is pointless. but anyway, it turns out she literally constructed the sport to be frustrating, so lmfao
This is my kind of discourse.
Yeah there is no way there isn’t some kind of minor league system for Quidditch, whether it feeds into the professional teams similar to some American sports I could see it either way.
As far as the Snitch situation I actually don’t mind it being around from the start. It adds an interesting level of strategy to the game. In particular because in Quidditch its not just about a W-L record but points scored. So it’s not just enough to get the Snitch if you need a certain point differential or in general need a certain amount of points scored. And it’s not just enough that your seeker doesn’t catch it. Your beaters would have to be effective here in keeping the other teams seeker away from the Snitch. That’s a cool nuance to me.
Another older OC I’ll be playing in a campaign sometime soon.
