Well folks it seems that the same person who shared my blog last time has done so again. I’ve been disowned and cut off from my family altogether. At this point I’ve decided to restart altogether instead of using a side blog, which was probably a bad idea anyway. If you want to know where I’m going to feel free to message me and if I’m not paranoid that you’re the person responsible for this I’ll give you the new blog info. To the rest of you, good bye and good luck
Imagine the relationship between Pippin and Sam when they’re older and Pippin is the Thain and Sam is the mayor. Sam is moving up in the world and trying to take his job seriously but Pippin never stops being Like That.
Each time Sam and Pippin need to have a serious meeting about serious Shire business:
#don’t forget merry would be master of buckland while this was going on
ok but good omens AU where Javert is the strict and uptight angel of heaven, valjean is the actually kind and sweet demon from hell, and cosette is the child they find
Okay but is Cosette Adam or Warlock? And is Epinine the other one?

The Evidence:
The Magic School Bus can time travel
When asked, Ms. Frizzle denies that she “knows everything”
However, Ms. Frizzle always knows what her students are up to, knows the answer to every question they ask her, and never shows fear even when in extreme mortal peril, as if she’s experienced this all before
Although we know she was in a rock band called the Frizzlettes and was a Shakespearean actress, Ms. Frizzle’s childhood remains mysterious
Ms. Frizzle is EXACTLY the sort of person to travel back in time to teach herself, and is in fact the most likely fictional character to do so
Nobody is ever named “Valerie Frizzle” at birth
Ms. Frizzle dresses queerly and laughs at her own bad jokes
A lot of the series is about Arnold learning to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy - that phrase is more or less targeted at him as a student
Ms. Frizzle looks a lot like a grown-up Arnold
Holy shit???????
She literally has a giant storeroom full of barrels of pickles because she loves pickles so much what more evidence do you need
What relation do pickles have with the transgender community?
One of the medications used in hormone therapy for trans women (spironolactone, which counteracts testosterone) has the side effect of, putting it crudely, making you have to pee all the goddamn time. That causes dehydration and loss of electrolytes.
Pickles and pickle juice turn out to be a fairly convenient and flavorful way of satisfying an electrolyte craving. Those who’ve been on spiro a long time can develop a nigh-spiritual bond with ‘em.
“What would I do if I had not seen you? Who would I feast my eyes on?” is so powerful and so painful and so raw to me and a straight person could never. They just don’t have the range
The funniest thing about LOTR is Aragorn constantly overstepping the Elves’ personal boundaries. They come from a race where touching your heart is one of the highest signs of affection and he’s over here pulling them into bear hugs and slapping shoulders like a brawny middle-aged dad
LMAO wasn't Aragorn raised by Elves? He knows what he's doing
True, but the momentary panic in Haldir’s eyes here is hilarious
Okay but what this potentially says about Elrond and the rest of the elves he was raised by is absolutely heartwarming. Because IRL humans need a certain amount of touch and affection and hugs and stuff. It’s particularly important for things like brain development and while it varies from person to person it’s still more than what elf kids need
And it honestly looks like Aragorn is not only comfortable with this kind of physical affection, he’s used to it.
Which makes me think that instead of looking at young Aragorn, and asking him to be more like an elf to fit in with those around them. Elrond looked at this kid and and thought to himself “how can I be more like what this child needs to thrive”
Aragorn has been raised by Elves since he was only 2 years old. So if we’re going by Piaget’s theories of child development, that puts Aragorn, (who would have been called Estel at the time) in the pre-operational stage. Or somewhere thereabouts. So Elrond is raising this kid when he’s learning to talk. When he’s constantly asking “why?” about everything.
Young Estel would have grown up surrounded by elves and elf children and just by virtue of not being an elf, he probably would have had to deal with feeling less capable than those around him. He wouldn’t have been able to do things like run across snow, and didn’t have the ability to see as far as they did with their “elf eyes” and I am imagining all manner of bruises and skinned knees as he tries to keep up anyway.
And it would take some getting used to his new surrounding, but I can’t stop picturing the first time tiny little Estel runs full tilt across the room and hugs Elrond’s leg.
And instead of scolding him or asking him to be more like an elf to fit in, Elrond consciously sets aside his own discomfort in the face of what this child needs to thrive. And if what Estel needs is hugs, then hugs he shall have.
Elrond picking up itty bitty Aragorn in a great big hug, and being just as uncomfortable about it, but hiding it well because this child was entrusted to his care and he will not let the boy grow up feeling unwanted or unloved.
And so Aragorn grew up surrounded by elves, but he grew up to be someone who naturally and unselfconsciously displays affection.
I think that speaks volumes about Elrond.
He raised this kid from age 2 to age 20 (so the majority of his formative years and well through his teens) and it was around then that Elrond’s own daughter gets back form visiting her grandmother Galadriel and meets this boy for the first time.
So I have NO IDEA what the various stages of child development would be for an elf, but I doubt their exactly the same.
Sure, Elrond might seem distant now, but there is no way Aragorn became the guy who is constantly overstepping elves personal boundaries to display affection without Elrond choosing to sacrifice his personal boundaries for the sake of a child’s well being.
This is the best possible addition to this post
LGBT people who don't give a fuck about "iconic" gay media on the basis that it's racist, transphobic, antisemetic, or ableist aren't ignoring their history; history ignored them, and prioritizing their safety and listening to their stories going forward is always gonna be a more valuable use of your time than defending some dead dudes.
Oscar Wilde is dead, Jews are still around. Checkmate, antisemites!

Don’t be fooled into believing the narrative.
“I think the hard times have passed now, the community is stronger and our response (to homophobia) is much more active and aggressive than before. But we need to continue to strengthen young people from the LGBT community to understand and to continue the challenge, because it’s not finished yet –- I think it’s just the beginning.”

I think about that one headcanon where Legolas is considered not great looking by elvish standards, like, all the time
A new man came into town today. Who is he? What does he want from us? Why his perfect and beautiful haircut? Why his perfect and beautiful coat? He says he is a scientist. Well, we have all been scientists and one point or another in our lives. But why now? Why here?
Gimli: I’m so happy I could kiss you
Legolas: *nervous laughter* ummm…….. neat.
[later]
Legolas, lying face down on the bed: I can’t believe I said “neat,” Aragorn. “Neat.” Nobody says neat anymore! It’s not neat to say neat, but I said it anyway because I’m a huge loser!
Aragorn: Hey, don’t beat yourself up. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what happened when Arwen confessed to me?
Legolas: Didn’t you like, thank her?
Aragorn, staring blankly into the distance: …..
Aragorn: I thanked her.
i feel like a weird phase that isn’t talked about much is being half closeted and half out like??? idk it’s such a weird dynamic i can’t describe it
