#always always always reblog#the charge of the rohirrim#pelennor fields#this moment#this one#and the slaying of the witch king#without Eowyn’s despair#without Theoden’s desperation to take his place honored in the halls of his ancestors#without Eomer’s reckless abandon when he thinks his sister is dead#without the flaws#the courage#but especially without the HUMANITY of these people#Gondor would’ve fallen#and no one would’ve been there to draw the eye of Sauron at the critical moment#all would’ve been lost to darkness#plus also the rohirrim are my fave

No other scene conveyed what the book did so well. Is also the single most epic moment in the series.

I collected a bunch of “haha I don’t have 2020 vision” “oh God not like that” posts

I wouldn’t mind a sequel to this post 🤣

[oldtvandcomics]

I have kept coming back to this post to see the reblogs, so I can give you the ones other people collected all in one place:

This one I actually found myself!

And I don’t think that this counts, but it still has the beautiful “Ah, fuck” vibes the rest of the post does:

And let’s not forget the cursed “Supernatural GIF Perfectly Describes 2020″ one:

@ferrousferrule:  You said you were looking for more and going through the reblogs, right? In which case this isn’t going to be of much use to you, but still. Just in case it is. :)

Cinderella “plot holes” I am tired of hearing about

“Why didn’t her step family recognize her?” Because royal balls were basically the candle lit equivalent of clubbing in terms of both lighting and sheer numbers. Even if they were right next to her, they probably wouldn’t get a good look, especially since it would have started after sundown. Also, she was the help; they probably hadn’t looked at her in years.

“Looking for someone based on their shoe size is stupid!” See above.

“Was he going to have every size seven in the kingdom try the slipper on?” Prior to industrialization most garments were made by hand to fit the buyer’s measurements, including shoes. It’s why poor people only had one pair. It’s a lot smarter when you consider that they would’ve fit her like a glove.

“You can’t run down stairs in heels!” I know this is a misconception resulting from historical revisionism and disneyfication, but high heels were not originally women’s shoes. They were worn by men. Women wore slippers, which were basically ballet flats. So it’s debatable.

“Glass shoes don’t make any sense!” Okay first of all, it’s called the suspension of disbelief, and secondly, they’re gold in every other version but Perrault decided to change them to something else expensive.

“She just went to the ball to find a man!” I know this isn’t a plot hole but listen. As the daughter of a widower Cinderella would’ve been running the household finances and acting as hostess if he hadn’t remarried. By demoting Cinderella to a servant, her step-mother essentially guaranteed that she would never escape the house, because the only way for her to escape and maintain her status was to marry well, and no one was going to marry a servant. It was essentially the historical equivalent of your mom stealing your college acceptance letters out of the mailbox.

[frognonbinary-deactivated202412]

this was not an analysis i was prepared for, i’ll tell you that

[jennacide-and-revolution]

6A. Not to mention that Cinderella NEVER wished to meet and marry the prince. All she wanted was a pretty dress and a night out. She met the prince by accident, he fell hard, and boom! Happily ever after. I cannot express how irritating it is to me when people say “sHe WiShEd FoR a PrInCe” No. No she didn’t. She wanted a dress and some fun. 

Save your patriarchal “she just wanted a man” bullshit for someone else.

Imagine if the garbage celebs who made that “Imagine” song cover had put half as much effort into their singing as these pro stunt artists put into their own quarantine content: a fight scene performed by over a dozen stunt artists, remotely.

Korean Teen Kicked in the Face in the Netherlands Because Attacker Thought He Was Chinese

Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to correctly spell Yanil’s name. A Korean teen living in the Netherlands was kicked in the face

I want the perps arrested and I want Yanil to receive all the help he needs after this traumatic and violent experience. The video is horrible.

The poor child is just left lying there, holding his face while none of his "friends" do anything. How are they so calm. Who filmed this??? I hope they trace it back to the perps! They clearly felt proud about attacking a child to the point of laughing about it and recording it with their phones, 10-20 vs a single boy, how noble, how brave. Hope they get jail time for like traumatizing Yanil for life.

[queer-crusader]

People who say there is no racism in the Netherlands are fucking wilfully blind. Geert Wilders nearly made it to the top of political rule based on a campaign to purge Muslims from the country. God it hurts every time to see shit like this.

good morning everyone have an absolutely furious mongoose

[ari-nemera]

It’s cuter when you recognize that the lion with visible spots is a juvenile. There’s a very high chance the other lion that runs over to investigate is the MOTHER.

The first lion is asking for comfort because she was given a big spook!!! and she needs mommy to tell her it’s safe and ok!!!! (What’s cuter is that mommy clearly reassures her, and goes on to take the parent role of ‘deal with the scream rat in order to protect my large and easily frightened daughter’)

this is all in all an adorable video 10/10

Hey I know that we’re dealing with something huge right now but trump is trying to allow adoption agencies to refuse services to lgbtq+ families.... not only is this descrimination but there are TOO many children in the system for them to allow this. Those kids need homes.... I’m disgusted

[heresatoast]

My guess is that they’re trying to pass this kind of stuff while the country is distracted and focused on other things??? Don’t let up on the current movement at hand, but please give this the attention it needs to be stopped

[lifeafterpsychiatry]

No but seriously. Normalize finding love in your 40's. Normalize discovering and chasing new dreams in your 30's. Normalize finding yourself and your purpose in your 50's. Life doesn't end at 25. Let's stop acting like it does.

[sunshineventing]

I really don’t understand all those memes and posts that are trying to support birds of prey by saying that it doesn’t have to be a good movie because I honestly enjoyed it. Not a single second did I think a scene was cringy or bad. I didn’t think the costumes were ugly- in fact the looks were really great- and I liked that the overall plot revolves around the women each having their own issues and meeting in the middle. It felt like a Harley comic, which is what I wanted. Idk I just think it’s selling the movie short to be constantly saying that it doesn’t need to be good because it was fun. A movie doesn’t have to be highbrow and academy award winning to be good. In my opinion it should be getting the same treatment as when Deadpool came out but instead we have apologize for having fun? At a superhero movie? We have to sandwich our praise under acknowledgement of its lack of sophistication? If I went to Deadpool fully expecting zany comedy and violence AND had fun and critics and fans alike still called it a ‘good movie’ I can do the exact same thing with birds of prey. Don’t sell it short because men have impossible standards for female characters.
