wake up babe new (possibly sculpted between 27 BCE to 14 CE) Athena statue just dropped (found during the excavation and restoration work for the western theater of Laodicea, known today as the Denizli province)
And it’s BEAUTIFUL
Look at the details on her aegis. The fabric of her peplos and chlamys!!
The Turkish Minister of Culture and Tourism, Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, has announced the discovery of a sculpture of the goddess Athena approximate

the silmarillion is wild because you read it and you're like huh okay, and then you read lotr and it turns out everyone's just going around doing their own thing while the surviving elves are living through the final chapters of a post-apocalyptic horror story
rivendell's a pretty chill place, right? everyone gets along splendidly. dream retirement home et cetera. solid chance the guy you're having afternoon tea with has either survived or personally committed war crimes. also the reason it's so chill is elrond has this magic ring that makes it so the whole place exists slightly outside normal time
galadriel's been around since the beginning, like, for pretty much all of middle-earth's history you understand, she has Seen it all and despite what you may have been led to believe is at all times this close to snapping. also the reason lothlorien is so chill is she has this magic ring that makes it so the whole place exists slightly outside normal time
i can't emphasize enough how much of a post-apocalyptic horror story thranduil lives in. homeland destroyed and half his people massacred. has fucken sauron in his backyard and the spawn of the primordial beast that eats light puttering about on his lawn. a dragon lives next door. does NOT have a magic ring and is therefore obliged to rule over his murderforest in normal time
just so we're all on the same page here, legolas' day job before joining the fellowship was to hunt the spawn of the primordial beast that eats light and it's not like, a big deal or anything. he just has to do it. he's used to it.
'elves are leaving middle-earth and it's so sad :(' they have ptsd samwise.
If you’re a lesbian and you’re not sure if you really have anything to offer the world as far as creative expression goes I am begging you to write or paint or sew or sculpt your truth because the world needs more lesbian art and so many men so much less talented than you are going for it as we speak

Also to be clear if you put the new Harry Potter show on my dashboard I will be unfollowing and probably blocking you. JK Rowling is responsible for the death and pain of too many trans people to count in my country and I cannot tolerate her new way of trying to gain cultural and financial power in any way shape or form.
I don't even want to see critiques of it. I don't want to see hatewatch reviews about how bad or dumb or racist or transphobic parts of it are like people did for the fantastic beasts movies of the hogwarts video game. You are part of the problem. Do not feed the machine. Let it die. You do not need to consume media you don't like just to show off to everyone else how much you don't like it. It's especially heinous if you say something like "I'm donating the cost of a movie ticket or a month's streaming subscription to a trans charity," because that doesn't balance the scales, it doesn't negate the evil, it just shows you are willing to support both sides, making you a spineless coward.
Just fucking ignore it and understand that it's going to be recationary on purpose. It's going to be full of bait. Warner Bros is counting on there being a ton of controversy to boost the numbers because there's no such thing as bad publicity.
DO NOT ENGAGE. Let it come and go, and maybe the numbers will be bad enough that it gets canceled before it gets to book 7. Probably not, though. This is a tentpole for WB, they're putting all their eggs in this basket, it's not gonna bomb like Morbius. They're gonna push it through to the end no matter what, so just do your part by not playing along.
don’t even pirate it. let it die in obscurity.
Generally in favor of coyotes. Wolves, as well. Bobcats. That sort of thing.
um guys, I think we need to stop waiting for ‘the right time’ and just start doing the things we want whenever because the right time’s never gonna come, and if we keep waiting it’s just gonna turn into an endless cycle

Faramir calling Galadriel “the Mistress of Magic” and talking about how it’s better to keep a wary distance from that kind of weird Elvish stuff is 10x funnier when you consider that Galadriel’s most distinctive native ability is her insight into the thoughts and hearts of others.
This whole conversation is in Faramir’s TTT scenes, in which he also goes on about the doors and windows in Gollum’s mind and what he can clearly perceive in his mind and how he can ‘read’ that Golllum is a murderer and Gollum shrieks in pain when he tries to lie to him and Faramir inexplicably knows something woke in Boromir in Lothlórien and that Galadriel saw something in him and
I mean, Galadriel is immensely powerful and skilled at this kind of thing, yes, but still … lol.
#faramir. i love you. but maybe 36-y-o beardless telepaths shouldn’t throw stones#faramir in ttt: i don’t know about this strange elvish magic. better to keep your distance#meanwhile in the next book multiple people are like … oh you can tell where faramir is by the animals obeying his will
I’ve been getting notes on this random post for some reason and while I don’t really know why, I do love him and how incredibly casual he is about his and his father’s abilities. Sam being “you’re right that there’s something elvish about Mr Frodo but there’s something just as weird and cool about you, lord Faramir, but different, not human, not elvish, some strange third thing like wizards, just the vibe I’m getting here” and then Pippin watching Gandalf and Denethor telepathically interact and being like “huh so Gandalf is more powerful but it really feels like they’re fundamentally related somehow, almost the same kind of being, idk…” [cut to Melian chilling in Valinor] just makes it way funnier that Faramir is vaguely paranoid about even interacting with Elves ;akfdjk;afd;jkfdf.

Welcome home.
There's just something about how the ISB never found Andor.
Syril found Andor, too late.
Dedra found Axis without him.
But they never found Cassian Andor - and they'll never know what that specific failure cost them, will they?
The Rebels don't know who was on Aldhani; the Empire will never know who did the job on Scarif.
Where is Andor? They don't know. But he has friends everywhere.

“I’m 24 years old and play this game with myself: buy myself something delicious for the weekend, blueberry muffins or flaky croissants, and forget it by Friday. Saturday morning comes and I am lucky to know me. I wasn’t born knowing how to love me, but I’m learning now; catching up for lost time between us. I keep the windows open. I play oldies throughout every corner of my apartment. I tell the dog how good it feels, at least for today, at least for right now, to be alive.”
