And thus it was. A fourth age of middle-earth began. And the fellowship of the ring… though eternally bound by friendship and love… was ended.

I think one of my major problems with media that deals heavily in themes of good and evil is that my formative years contained Terry Pratchett’s work which just blew my head clean off and put it back on my shoulders a little more firmly and then told me “there are no heroes, no legends, no miracles, just you. It’s you against the darkness and the metaphorical wolves at the door…better bloody do something about that then, hadn’t we”.

And don’t put your faith in revolutions - they always come around again.

And being good isn’t an innate quality - it’s an action that requires doing good for other people even and especially if you don’t like them, it’s hard work and you don’t want to. Bad impulses, bad thoughts don’t matter if you recognize them for what they are and turn them into positive action.

And the duty of the police should be to protect the people, not the power structure.

And we, as people, make our own gods, our own stories, our own creeds, not the other way around, which means we can change those stories and thus change our world, because nothing is more powerful than a story.

Patronus - Thestral

A person with a patronus of a thestral has seen and experienced many things, and are genuinely wise because of it. They may feel themselves as outcasts, and may often exclude themselves from others. But a thestral is very perceptive, and chooses their friends cautiously - and this usually ends up being for the better.

Patronus - Hippogriff

Trust is not in a hippogriff’s vocabulary, at least, not at first. They are extremely proud and honourable and won’t give you a second thought unless you prove that you are worth their time. They are very independant and hate to have to wait for people to catch up to their level since they are already on top. Intelligent and cunning, they seem very down to earth, but are more likely to be soaring in their own world.

“But wear this now in memory of Elfstone and Evenstar with whom your life has been woven!” And she took a white gem like a star that lay upon her breast hanging upon a silver chain, and she set the chain around Frodo’s neck. “When the memory of the fear and the darkness troubles you,” she said, “this will bring you aid.”
