idk who needs to hear this but “depressing quotes” blogs and stuff like this may express how you’re feeling but seeing a constant stream of negativity and romanticised sadness is only going to make you feel worse. Even if you only unfollow one blog and follow a puppy blog instead, you’ll feel a little better
LOTR’s concept artists designed the films as a “journey back in time”
So (according to the concept art book) as the Fellowship travels deeper into Middle Earth, the places they pass through become inspired by progressively older periods of history. The farther along you are in the story, the more ancient the design influences
We begin in The Shire: which feels so familiar because, with its tea-kettles and cozy fireplaces, it’s inspired by the relatively recent era of rural England in the 1800s
But when we leave Hobbiton, we also leave that familiar 1800s-England aesthetic behind and start going farther back in time.
Bree is based on late 1600s English architecture
Rohan is even farther back, based on old anglo-saxon era architecture (400s-700s? ce)
Gondor is way back, and no longer the familiar English or Anglo-Saxon: its design comes from classical Greek and Roman architecture
And far far FAR back is Mordor. It’s a land of tents and huts: prehistoric, primitive, primeval. Cavemen times
And the heart of Mordor is a barren lifeless hellscape of volcanic rock…like a relic from the ages when the world was still being formed, and life didn’t yet exist
And then they finally reach Mount Doom, which one artist described as
“where the ring was made, which represents, in a sense, the moment of creation itself”
How to I keep finding new reasons to love LOTR?!
This was one hell of an eye opener
We need to see these in more places
THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THOSE ABLEIST FAT SHAMING ONES CALLING PEOPLE WHO TAKE THE ESCALATOR OR ELEVATOR LAZY.
But like they could take that money spent to run an ad and like……build accessible structures….?????
Even if a private organization was allowed to remodel public property (they’re DEFINITELY not ), do you really think that some wallpaper pasted onto some stairs costs as much as it would to close off an entire train station for as long as it would take to remodel the entire thing? Because real life isnt a sims game, you cant just toss in an elevator and move shit around. And accessibility isn’t as easy as pouring some cement and turning the stairs into a ramp either.
Not that I haven’t seen a few places try be “accessible” by literally doing exactly that. Half ass pouring cement to turn half the stairs into a “ramp” that is insanely steep and basically unusable. That said, it’s also not as complicated as the above poster seems to think. Sure you may need to block off an area of a train station but that also happens when doing any sort of repair work. They don’t shut trains down everywhere because they are building a new line or repairing one. It would be minimal inconvenience to train riders. It would cost… $40,000 tops for most retrofits. Money they will make back quickly by increasing how many people can access the train to be a paying customer.

Simply amazing threadwork! I only wish it had been done on something other than the cream silk, as I think the sheen of the fabric distracted from this gorgeous composition. This is thread sketching taken to the Nth level!
